    Brasov Train station is 45 min away and we can organise a pick from the station with 12hr notice, €30 one way.

  • We are a small, quiet place designed for relaxing holidays closer to nature. Whilst our space, activities & food is open to all we ask parents to decide if our environment is suitable for their children. If your child would be ok with this by all means please bring them, and stay mindful of our clientele and other guests during meal time and activities.

  • Pets are accepted in our rooms on request basis as not all rooms are suitable for receiving pets. A cleaning fee is charged extra on top of the room rate.

    Pets are required to be on a lead at all times and cannot be left alone in the rooms.

  • We are a nature retreat with 11 rooms that offers yoga classes, you’ll likely meet people that resonate with that at Akasha.

    We do yoga and we are spiritual but we do not commercialise this. You cannot be more spiritual after visiting Akasha than you already are, our practices, workshops, classes, sound healing sessions, meditations and the natural world around will certainly profoundly impact you in some way but that doesn’t necessarily mean we fall in the category of a yoga / spiritual retreat.

    We’ve been to ashrams and yoga retreats, those are different experiences to Akasha. We are a lighthearted place to stay, eat healthy food that is made sustainably, meet other people, do yoga, access nature & take a break from city life.

    We charge a minimal amount for classes and workshops to cover the cost of a teacher travelling, boarding and teaching at Akasha, we do not make profits from yoga.

    Akasha Retreat has been running yoga retreats for 4 years pre-pandemic. Since then we could not return back to the same format of set arrival / departure dates and weekly programme as most people travel short notice. This doesn’t allow for planning in advance the same way we used to. Now we have a flexible stay option where you can choose to come at your own leisure and participate in everything we do based on what you prefer whether it’s yoga, hikes, food, spa or simply just visiting Pestera.
