When empowered, each and every one of us can move mountains! We would like to inspire people to live healthier and happier lives, aware of all the boundless possibilities of self-improvement that nature and yoga can give us.
This place is perfect for someone who just wants to let go, recharge energy, be active in nature or simply relax and have fun. Regardless of your Yoga level or sportive skills, everyone is welcome!

Bansko is a picturesque town located in the foothills of Pirin natural reserve. Its beauty and natural treasures – thousand years old forests, mountain lakes, mighty peaks, thermal springs, wild berries make of it a peace of paradise on earth. In summer it is sunny and quiet and it is a perfect place for a break from the city madness, connection with nature and self-discovery. Bansko provides all the tools to achieve a perfect balance of active and passive aspects of energy. We encourage our guests to maintain this balance by combining physical activity and relaxation practices. How about having a great workout for the body and soul in the mountains and then relax in a thermal pool, go to a music festival or have a massage by a professional physio.
