Additional Workshops with Céline Suremann

  • December 5: Deep Winter Rest – Yin & Sound Journey
    This Yin practice invites you to soften into the stillness of winter — a space where quiet, tenderness, and your inner light become palpable. Through slow, gentle postures and deep, steady breath, you give your body time to release layer by layer, creating room for trust, surrender, and inner peace.
    We close with an extended, restful Savasana. Floating tones from Himalayan and crystal singing bowls surround you, guiding body and mind into deep restoration — almost like returning home to yourself. A quiet journey into winter. A moment to feel, remember, and simply be.

Yoga Retreats

This yoga retreat offers the perfect opportunity to pause, recharge, and consciously prepare for the upcoming winter season. Together, we create a space of calm and renewal to harmonize body, mind, and soul. Our morning sessions combine yoga asanas, mindful alignment and breathwork, meditation, and yoga philosophy impulses to strengthen energy, vitality, and focus. Evenings are dedicated to regeneration and relaxation: yin yoga, restorative poses, pranayama, yoga nidra, journaling, and guided meditations invite you to let go, find calm, and deeply integrate the day’s experiences.

Complementing this, a short fitness session provides the ideal balance to train endurance, strength, and your deep core muscles — an important foundation to take your yoga practice, mental, and physical strength to a new level.

Look forward to four days full of yoga, reflection, fitness, and relaxation that will help you start the cold season with new clarity and strength.

A journey to more strength, clarity, and inner freedom. How does it feel when your mind becomes clear, your body feels strong, and every movement makes sense? When your breath flows deeply, your thoughts settle, and inner strength builds? This is exactly what Beyond Yoga Dynamics (BYD) is about. It’s about understanding your nervous system, resolving stress at its root, and returning home stronger.

Each session is designed to use movement as a powerful key to greater stability and mental clarity. The body learns, the mind follows. This is not just an abstract concept, but a tangible transformation.

This retreat is more than just a break – it is the beginning of a new path. If you’re ready to go deeper, to discover movement as a gateway to your inner balance, and to return home with renewed strength, clarity, and a hypnotic flow state, then this retreat is for you.
