Yoga & Kneipp with... Laura Posdziech
Laura is a Yoga teacher and Kneipp mentor. Under the name HOLON, she provides each discipline separately, yet also combines them dynamically to enhance and improve their effects. Through 18 years of personal practice and six years of teaching, she has developed a profound understanding of the body, its physiology, the importance of movement, and the central role of circulation.
Circulation is the movement of all body fluids through our body. It’s an inner alchemic process, which in its essence, is a process of detoxification and purification. This process of detoxification and purification enables us to bask in the radiance of our full natural glory.
After her training as a Kneipp mentor in 2025, Laura now supports circulation through Yoga as an active practice and Kneipp applications as an effective passive method.

About Laura
What role do yoga and kneipp play in your life?
Yoga and Kneipp are an integral part of my everyday life. At the heart of both practices lies circulation – the movement of all fluids within the body. It is one of our most important bodily functions and, in a healthy and natural state, should flow continuously. As comfortable as modern life may be, it often brings long periods of inactivity. For this reason, I consciously support movement and circulation throughout the day.
My day begins with a full-body Kneipp wash using a linen cloth to effectively stimulate circulation. I apply many of these brief but effective Kneipp methods throughout the day, like the Kneipp facial. While Kneipp himself didn't actually develop a facial, I created it based on his knowledge. In tandem with a manufacturer based in Bad Wörishofen, Germany - where Kneipp lived and worked most of his life - I am currently working on specifying the equipment required. At Schwarzschmied, I will be offering the facial for the very first time.
The same applies to movement: throughout the day, I return to yoga asanas – sometimes a headstand, sometimes a simple forward bend. The aim is always the same: to encourage circulation and support the body in its natural flow.
What do you hope to share with your students through your yoga classes?
The beauty, simplicity, and efficiency of movement. Understanding the value of keeping the body in its natural flow - in other words, maintaining healthy circulation.
What would you describe as the core of your philosophy?
"Atha Yoga Anushasanam." These are the opening words of the Yoga Sutras. For me, they express the conscious decision to live in harmony with nature and its laws. From this decision arises a practice, a path that continues to unfold and evolve over time.
There are many aspects to living a healthy and nature-aligned life. I am grateful to have learned physical practices that I can now share with others. They provide the foundation for a healthy body – the vessel that carries us through life.

Our next Retreats
Take a conscious break from everyday life and discover what it feels like when movement, rest, and clarity return to balance. This retreat invites you to step back and reconnect with yourself.
Intentional Living means not only organizing life, but consciously shaping it - feeling what your body needs, using your energy mindfully, and creating space for rest, clarity, and new perspectives.
Look forward to a balanced combination of powerful and regenerative movement sessions, mindful bodywork, breathing practices, meditation, and impulses from neuro-mental training and coaching. The practice combines yoga, functional movement, and fascia work with conscious breathing and mental reflection.
At the heart of the retreat is intention-based movement. Instead of focusing on performance or perfection, the aim is to consciously perceive the body, build strength, improve mobility, and release tension. At the same time, calming evening practices help regulate the nervous system and allow deep relaxation. Step by step, this creates a sense of stability, lightness, and clarity - both physically and mentally.

05. - 08. November 2026
Do you sometimes feel like you’re just functioning and no longer truly connected to yourself? Perhaps you’re successful, organized, and present for others, yet still sense an underlying exhaustion and inner restlessness. Often, our nervous system remains in a constant state of stress without us even noticing.
This retreat is a gentle invitation to step out of constant doing. You will learn how to consciously regulate your nervous system, with a focus on the vagus nerve as a key to regeneration, emotional stability, and a healthy response to stress.
We intentionally take time to pause, replenish your energy, and prepare for the winter season before the year grows louder, the holiday rush begins, and the calendar fills up even more. Together, we create a space where you can truly feel your body again, allow your nervous system to settle, and reconnect with a sense of safety, clarity, and inner balance.
In this retreat, you will learn practical methods to build mental and physical strength, inner calm, and resilience. Through a holistic yoga and coaching approach, Gabriela Bozic guides you back to balance, grounding, and inner strength. Between the shared sessions, there is dedicated time for integration, silence, and enjoyment. Each class offers subtle impulses from yoga philosophy and coaching to help you integrate the retreat experience into daily life, personal practice, or teaching - clear, contemporary, and directly accessible.
