Our upcoming retreats
Beautiful days await you in a truly special place of calm. Let’s slow down together, strengthen the connection to ourselves, and get in touch with our feelings. Step out of everyday life and dive into your inner world. Time for your self-care practice on all levels:
Body
We bring the body into strength and movement with flowing and dynamic Vinyasa Flow and Intuitive Movements. Yin Yoga and Restorative sessions support you in sinking into deep relaxation and releasing tension. The physical practice brings you back into balance. You will feel freer and lighter and more connected to your body.
Mind
We begin the day in silence with a guided meditation. Gift your mind rest, find clarity, and reduce external stimuli with Yoga Nidra and journaling. Reflect, find stillness, and create inner alignment.
Heart
We also want to do something good for the heart. Together we chant mantras that open your heart and bring you deep into feeling. Let’s dance through the room and let the music touch you.
Soul
In the in-house spa, you can pamper yourself between sessions and let your soul unwind. The special culinary nourishment feeds not only the body but above all the soul. In the loving group, you can share and spend time in community.

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.
