Summer Yoga Retreat in Poland
Experience a true retreat
We invite you to immerse yourself on a week long journey home to your true rested self. Soak up our authentic yoga practices, delicious food & the soothing surroundings of Uzdrowisko – 'The Health Resort'.
Throughout each retreat we connect with the healing power of simply being in nature. Our daily practices awaken a sense of contentment and joy as we honour the uplifting energies of summer.
Each day we mindfully explore yoga as a way of living consciously through Claire's classic compassionate blend of movement and stillness practices. Each session is lovingly designed to support the next. The cumulative effects throughout the retreat gently bring us home to our natural state of ease.
There will be plenty of time during the retreat to explore the surrounding area, you can take trips to the forest, lake or beach. Mid retreat we organise a memorable group day trip, that is always a highlight. After a day of activities, you can soothe your muscles in the on site sauna and share outdoor fireside chats.
This retreat offers a true sanctuary from busy daily life, an opportunity to slow down and rebalance our prana (life force), so you leave feeling both revitalised and rested.
The retreat to Poland was absolute bliss. The venue was so peaceful and had a wonderfully positive energy flowing throughout. The schedule was obviously very well thought out and planned with the meditation and yoga classes following the daily theme to perfection
. Claire delivers these classes with a beautiful ease in supporting and holding space for all participants. They never felt like a “class”, I’d describe them as nourishment for mind, body & soul.
It is a week now since the retreat and I’m still feeling the joy and peace resonate throughout my day that I felt during the retreat and I’m eagerly awaiting the email that will drop with the next week retreat so I can book again
Venue
Uzdrowisko is located just one hour from Gdansk airport.
It is a family run haven of calm that provides the ideal space for us to rest and retreat from the busyness of day to day life.
While we benefit from the tranquility of it's seemly remote location we are only short drive away from beautiful landscapes, woods, lakes, villages and just 15 minutes from the city of Elbląg.
Uzdrowisko has a stunning large yoga studio, inviting communal areas and beautiful grounds at our full disposal with a pond, a number of decks and walkways, sauna, fireplace and even swings and hammocks for maximum chill out!
The comfortable and modern bedrooms are all ensuite and most rooms have balconies where you can sit back and watch stunning sunsets.

We begin and end our time together in a shared circle, creating a sense of connection, intention, and reflection.
These moments offer a warm and friendly space to arrive, share what to expect and then integrate your experience before returning home.
These sessions combine simple, accessible meditation practices that calm the nervous system and steady the mind.
Pranayama- breath work is integrated into all classes.
You’ll explore techniques you can carry into everyday life to support clarity and balance.
These daily morning sessions contain a blend of movement and breath practices inspired by hatha and vinyasa styles. Each set of sequences is designed not only for its physical benefits but with intentional direction of subtle energy by cultivating Prana and awareness of the 7 main chakras .
Each morning, we offer short periods of intentional silence to support rest and inward awareness.
This time is ideal to delve into our daily journal prompts, allowing space to process, reflect, and deepen your connection to yourself.
Or simply let yourself sip on a cup of tea as you listen to the birds and gaze at the trees.
A deeply restful and healing practice using props to fully support the body in gentle poses held for longer periods. This allows the body to release tension, the mind to quieten, and the nervous system to shift into a state of deep restoration.
Often described as “yogic sleep,” this guided practice invites you into an easeful state between waking and sleeping. Lying down in comfort, you’re led through a systematic relaxation that promotes profound rest and inner awareness.
An open and informal Q&A session where you can draw Claire’s years of experience and guidance. While we can explore specific postures and alignment, this is also a space to ask about technique, philosophy, and how to integrate yoga as a way of living. Come with questions, curiosities, or simply listen and learn from the shared discussion.
Additional Therapies
The therapists at Uzdrowisko are truly exceptional, offering some of the most skilled and intuitive treatments we’ve experienced across all of our retreat venues.
These sessions are a beautiful way to deepen your time on retreat — an opportunity to soften, unwind and receive an extra layer of care and support. They complement the yoga practices beautifully, creating space for an even greater sense of ease and integration.
Therapies are booked in advance, usually a few weeks before the retreat begins, and are paid directly to the therapists. We’ll share full details and options with you once your place is confirmed.
Below are examples of some of the offerings, note that some treatments are dependent on the therapists availability.
Lomi Lomi originating from Hawaii, is flowing massage performed using the therapist’s forearms and hands. It is characterized by long, smooth movements and elements that stretch the muscles around the shoulder, hip and neck joints. The person giving the massage moves around the table fluidly which enhances the energy of the massage along with the atmospheric candles, scents, and music.
Lomi Lomi as described above but with incredible effect of having two female therapists moving in sync.
This is dependant on availability and must be pre-booked as they come onsite especially for us.
Kobido massage is known as ‘non-surgical face lift. It deeply relaxes muscle tension of the face, which contributes to the relaxation of the whole body. This massage covers the head, neck, shoulders and face. It includes elements of relaxing, lifting, lymphatic and acupuncture massage.
This type of massage works deep tissue and releases tension. This massage involves deep work with the body, effective in releasing physical and / or emotional pains. It is a conscious, slow, deep touch. Sessions can be devoted to particular areas or whole body.
This is a deeply relaxing treatment that moves every cell of the body with beneficial vibrations. The sounds of Tibetan bowls, specially made for the treatment bring the body and mind into a state of deep relaxation.
MA-URI® is a Polynesian massage technique that brings balance between the soul and the body.
The secret of MA-URI® lies in the flow of energy and movement. The rhythmic and delicate, yet full of expression and passion, movements of the masseur put the massaged person in a state of complete harmony and relaxation. By connecting the mind, body and heart, MA-URI® helps eliminate stress, release energy and influence your relationship with the world.
METAPHORPHIC TOUCH
A simple, subtle and yet powerful treatment to free ourselves from blockages and reconnect with our Being and the natural flow of Life.
The metamorphic technique is a massage where – by gentle caresses on the reflex points of the spine in the feet, hands and head – we ‘travel’ back to our prenatal period (as well as our early childhood) to unblock any trauma or resistance and activate the natural processes of self-healing and empowerment.
This technique works on deep levels of our nervous system, bringing it to regeneration, creating new neuropathways, strengthening our bonds with the world & catalysing constructive life changes
INTUITUVE THAI MASSAGE
.. where bodywork meets energy and healing..
Intuitive Thai massage is a unique combination of bodywork, soul reading and energy healing.
This ancient art of ‘sacred dance’ is done on a futon and with some light clothes on (or a sarong) and consists in giving nurturing pressures and stretching to activate your innate capacity to heal yourself. I will also put some almond oil and natural essential oils on particular parts (such as shoulders & back).
The session is meant to unblock all parts of the body/mind/soul, restoring the natural flow of vital force.
It releases emotional accumulations, balancing and revitalizing the whole system (including organs, muscles, tissues and cells). It opens you up to feel, to breathe more deeply, to receive and to regenerate on numerous levels.
Accompanied by energy work and soul reading, you will be additionally supported to release unnecessary energetic burdens and memories while you restore yourself to feeling and embodying the core Essence of your Being.
By the end of the session you’ll feel relaxed, grounded, rejuvenated and loved.
HOLISTIC OIL MASSAGE
Deep nurturing touch that integrates aromatherapy, breathwork, and energy healing for a truly holistic experience
Our Community: The Prana Family
We fondly call our guests 'The Prana Family'. The retreat environment is one of great inclusion with a warm relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Some of our guests are coming to us over and over again for 10 years now and you'll quickly see why they feel so at home. We welcome everyone with open arms. Those who are joining for the first time or coming by themselves need not feel apprehensive at all!
There will also be ample opportunity for individual time, private walks, silence etc so if you are also seeking quiet and space for self reflection you will not be disappointed.
Claire and Piotr are amazing at what they do! They are so professional, caring and attentive to your care and needs.
I booked a retreat in Poland and had the most amazing experience of my life!
Everyday brought even a better day.The food was delicious, the venue was so peaceful, and the massages were deeply relaxing. In most restorative classes I fell asleep because they were that relaxing! I felt well rested, connected, grounded and centered in myself, with the earth and with passed loved ones.
It was an epic retreat and one of the best holidays I’ve ever had!

This beautiful retreat centre is very much designed as a shared group space. The majority of rooms are twin or triple shared, many of which include a balcony.
Beds in the twin rooms can be joined for couples.
