About The Retreat
Dates: 21st – 25th May
The program is designed to allow guests to experience yoga in a natural and peaceful environment. A perfect retreat to gain new energy.
We offer yoga lessons in the morning and the afternoons, excursions along with local plant-based food – all a perfect starting point for active experiences and better health. Join in and experience the magic of this retreat!
The yoga holiday is a break from demands and achievement, and of course an opportunity for replenishment and inspiration in a hectic everyday life.
We offer the opportunity to stop, make time for yourself, to let go of tensions related to stress, bad posture, bad sleeping or eating habits.
The yoga classes take place in the beautiful garden. Practicing outdoors also allows us to relax due to the soothing effect of nature on our nervous system.
There is nothing like practicing yoga in the open air. The breath becomes freer, the perspective becomes larger, and you can feel that the body is filled with life energy. The yoga classes are a mixture of hatha yoga, calm vinyasa (yoga flow), yin yoga, breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation.
