A one-week immersive experience designed for people who love to move, explore, play, connect, and deepen their practice in an inspiring and uplifting environment.
Throughout the week we'll blend creative vinyasa flows, mobility, inversions, breath, music, movement exploration, and restoration — creating space to move freely, challenge ourselves, reconnect with the body, and enjoy the process of practice together.

Request to Join →Arrive. Right on the lakeshore, surrounded by 100,000 m² of gardens and meadows. The family-run 4★ wellness hotel Karnerhof pairs an almost Mediterranean setting on the Faaker See with a generous spa world, its own beach club and excellent food.











Six classes and two deep-dive workshops, led by Jazz & Joa — each with its own soundtrack.
A fiery twisting flow designed to detoxify, energize, and awaken the body from the inside out. Through spirals, binds, core activation, and deep rotational work, this class creates lightness, stability, and a powerful sense of release.
A high-energy, playful, and empowering arm balance experience led by Jazz. This class blends strength, rhythm, mobility, control, and creativity to help you explore arm balances in a dynamic and accessible way. Through progressive drills, conditioning, transitions, and full-body activation, you'll build the confidence and awareness needed to lift, balance, and move with more freedom. Expect challenge, laughter, sweat, powerful music, and a strong sense of community. Suitable for all levels, with options and progressions offered throughout. This is not about achieving the "perfect pose" — it's about building courage, connection, and enjoying the process together.
A slower, grounding practice designed to restore the nervous system while still inviting depth and awareness into the body. Through long-held postures, breath, subtle mobility, and intentional stillness, this class offers space to soften, release, and deeply reset.
A powerful vinyasa flow class created to connect with the feeling of liberation and joy through the rhythm of drums. The magical sound of drums accelerates physical healing, boosts the immune system and promotes the production of endorphins, getting feelings of well-being and freedom. This class integrates breathing techniques and yoga asanas with dance and rhythms from Africa and the Latin-American Caribbean coast. We start by linking the breath to soft moves of the body, getting awareness of the present moment. After an energetic warm-up, we continue with a dynamic flow creating a sequence between postures and afro dance moves. Don't think you can dance? No problem — this is your invitation to gently draw yourself out of your comfort zone and express yourself without fear of judgment. Afro Yoga is a unique approach to restoring cultural roots through physical, emotional, and mental wellness.
A strong, fluid vinyasa practice focused on hip mobility, deep activation, and creating freedom through the lower body. Expect powerful transitions, dynamic mobility drills, creative sequencing, and juicy openings designed to build both strength and space.
A strong backbend-focused flow designed to create openness, strength, and space through the front body. Through intelligent preparation, shoulder mobility, active flexibility, and powerful sequences, we'll explore expansion without collapsing into flexibility alone.
A full-spectrum practice bringing together the themes explored throughout the week — strength, mobility, inversions, balance, fluidity, and awareness. An energizing, challenging, and immersive flow designed to leave you feeling powerful, connected, and fully alive.
A playful and powerful exploration into the world of arm balances. This workshop helps you understand the mechanics, strength, balance, and body awareness behind floating the body with more control and confidence. Through progressive drills, technique breakdowns, conditioning, mobility work, and creative transitions, arm balances become less about force and more about organization and intelligent movement. Suitable for practitioners building stronger foundations as well as those refining an existing practice. This is not about perfection or performance — it's about learning to move with precision, lightness, and play.
Wednesday to Sunday, with plenty of open time for the lake, the spa and each other.

The body is not an aesthetic object. It is a perceptual instrument.
Joa Gomez



Jazz discovered her passion for yoga more than 11 years ago — it was love at first sight, and she soon wanted to share that joy with others. She completed her yoga teacher training in India, and after further workshops and trainings abroad, returned to Austria full of motivation to share what she'd learned.
Alongside Vinyasa Flow, Relax Yoga and Hatha Yoga, she teaches specialized classes for pregnant women and created her own style, "Afro Latin Yoga Flow" — a blend of African dance, Latin rhythms and live music. Expect an hour full of energy and joy.
Jazz teaches in English, and is also fluent in Spanish and German.


Joa Gomez has been teaching yoga internationally for over a decade — workshops, intensives and teacher trainings across Europe, Latin America and Asia.
Across different rooms, cities and teachers, he kept noticing the same drift — yoga pulled either toward performance and beautiful shapes, or into abstraction, philosophy floating above the body rather than moving through it. Neither felt honest to him. Practice, real practice, is the process of learning to use the body more consciously.
Right on the shore of the Faaker See — one of Austria's clearest and warmest lakes — Hotel Karnerhof is the perfect base for a week of movement, play and stillness. Turquoise water, a private beach with wooden jetties and boathouse, framed by views of the Mittagskogel and the Karawanken mountains.
Between the infinity pool, the SEEMOTIONEN spa, salt room and panoramic relaxation lounges, there's everything you need — whether you're spending the day in the water or simply resting. Villach and the Dobratsch nature park are both a short drive away.
For anyone who loves to move, explore and play.
For anyone ready to go deeper — on the mat and off it.
