Our upcoming retreats
When everyday life - with all its tasks, expectations, and obligations - sometimes takes more from us than it gives back, we need moments of peace and recharge, to truly come back to ourselves. Our 4-day yoga retreat invites you to do exactly that: in spring, when nature awakens and everything radiates new energy, a space for holistic regeneration emerges – to recharge body, mind, and soul.
Together we want to explore the question: what do you really need to regain strength and full regeneration? Morning and evening yoga sessions – sometimes gentle, sometimes dynamic, always adapted to the group – will guide you to deeply listen to your body and realign yourself.
Four days that nourish, regenerate, and return you to everyday life strengthened, clear, and full of energy – in harmony with the invigorating and powerful energy of spring.
The retreat will be in german language.

The state when the waves of the thinking mind have calmed and we are immersed in vital stillness — a state that recharges, strengthens, and grants us healthy resilience.
Fatigue and tension can transform into a renewed zest for life that carries us through our days.
In this retreat, we practice Hatha/Vinyasa Yoga and Yoga Nidra. We approach our own breath and the sound of mantras as support on the path to meditation.
The aim of the workshop sessions is to explore and experience various tools together, enriching your mindfulness and yoga practice.

Bärbel teaches in the heartfelt YOGAMOUR style – a refreshing blend of dynamism, lightness, and mindfulness. In the mornings, we flow together through energizing Vinyasa sequences, while the late afternoons invite you to calming Yin Yoga sessions, accompanied by breathing exercises and meditation.
The retreat begins with a slightly more dynamic Welcome Yoga session – the perfect way to arrive, let go, and ease into the days ahead.
With Bärbel’s attentive yoga sequences, powerful flows, and back-friendly Yin Asanas, you strengthen your body awareness and discover an upright, proud posture – both inside and out. You’ll take home this newfound lightness and joy.
For more challenging poses, Bärbel always offers gentle variations – making each practice welcoming, nourishing, and perfectly tailored to you.
