The good things that count
"Inform us about medical particularities, allergies or restrictions. We respectfully take your life circumstances into consideration, also in the spa, in our treatments and massages, and related to this, also in the kitchen. We want you to pursue and indulge your interests and inclinations. Feel your holiday, enjoy your body and open your mind."
Stefanie Dariz - Spa Hotel Schwarzschmied
This retreat invites you to consciously feel the ground beneath your feet again. In a time of acceleration and sensory overload, we create space for grounding, presence, and genuine connection.
The guiding thread of the retreat is grounding. In the mornings, we practice powerful, precise Jivamukti Yoga that strengthens stability, clarity, and inner alignment. Meditation and Pranayama help collect the mind and fully settle into the body. In the evenings, Yin and Restorative Yoga lead to deep relaxation, accompanied by poetry, nature texts, and stories.
Even off the mat, we connect with the earth. In the fermentation and cooking workshop, we work with vegetables, herbs, and roots, directly from the Villa Arnica garden and the surrounding nature. You will experience how nourishing it is to prepare food with your own hands. Together, we explore simple techniques of fermenting and pickling that you can apply at home.
The retreat concludes with a “Garden to Table” cooking class and shared dinner. We take time to slow down together, experience community, and ground ourselves sustainably.

For Nadja, yoga is a space for personal growth, acceptance, and connection. The feeling of togetherness that arises when people come together with a shared intention is, for her, the true magic of the practice. Nadja’s classes combine pranayama, a strong Jivamukti practice, meditation, and music. She always integrates nature and spiritual teachings to make ancient wisdom accessible. Music carries the theme of each class, while humor brings lightness.

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.
