Retreat Location Styria — Johann & Anna as a Retreat for Yoga, Rest & Arrival
Anyone looking for a location for their own retreat usually isn't looking for more programme — they're looking for a place that doesn't need one. Johann & Anna in Stainz is exactly that: five self-contained holiday apartments, a garden on the Stainzbach stream, and a house that never tries to steal the show.
Good to know: Johann & Anna is not a yoga hotel with its own course programme. We're the location — you, your yoga teacher, your coach, or your group brings the programme. For many organisers, that's exactly the difference they're looking for: no second programme competing with their own, no hotel operation running alongside in the background.
Who Johann & Anna Works Well For as a Retreat Location
- Yoga teachers looking for a quiet setting for their group, away from a hotel operation
- Coaches and trainers running small workshop or mindfulness groups
- Private groups planning a shared weekend to arrive and reflect
- Writing groups and creative collectives looking for focused days without distractions
The Region: West Styria Instead of an Alpine Backdrop
Stainz lies in the Schilcherland, a good 40 minutes from Graz — vineyards, gentle hills, small wine taverns, a stream running right past the house. No cable car, no spa area with a queue. If you want to take a walk through the vineyards after a yoga or meditation session, you don't need to get in a car to do it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide your own yoga teachers or coaches?
No. We provide the location — you or your group design the programme yourselves.
Is there catering on site?
No catering of our own, but good recommendations from the neighbourhood — from wine taverns to delivery services. We'll discuss the details when you inquire.
How many people fit in the house?
That depends on how you'd like the rooms allocated — together, the five apartments offer space for smaller groups. We'll work out the exact numbers together.
What would change for your group if the location itself already contributed to the calm, instead of just being the backdrop?
Get in touch, no obligation – we're happy to discuss capacity, dates, and terms in person.
