FAQs Yoga Retreats
Here you can find all the frequently asked questions about our Yoga Retreats at Hotel Schwarzschmied - as well as their answers. For further questions dont hesitate to contact us under info@schwarzschmied.com.
Do you need prior yoga experience to participate in the retreats?
While it can be helpful to have practiced yoga before, prior experience is not required. What matters most is your willingness to connect with your body and listen to what feels right for you.
What yoga styles are taught?
The retreats incorporate a combination of different styles. This includes classical Vinyasa yoga, which features flowing movements and invigorating sequences. Yin yoga is also often an essential part of the program. This calming practice involves deep stretches and long-held postures, focusing on relaxation and the release of muscles and fascia. Meditation and breathing techniques complement the experience, promoting deep relaxation and self-awareness.
Which retreat is right for me?
If you don't have a preference regarding the teacher or the yoga styles practiced, you can make your decision based on the specific program. All our retreats provide space for you to reconnect with yourself and experience deep relaxation. The differences lie in the focus areas (e.g., rehabilitation, strength, relaxation), the number of yoga sessions, and possible combinations with other elements such as sound baths or dance.
What should I pack?
Our yoga rooms are fully equipped with everything you need for your practice: mats, blankets, blocks, bolsters, and straps are all provided. You just have to bring comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. And if you’ve forgotten something or feel like treating yourself, we offer a carefully selected range of Hey Honey yoga clothes.
Is a specific room category included in the retreats?
You can choose from any of our room categories. Whether you're coming alone for some inner exploration, with a partner for a special experience, or with the whole family - you can chose the space that fits your needs.
Can I still cancel my reservation?
Cancellations are possible up to 22 days before arrival. From 21 days prior to arrival, we have to charge the full amount of your booking. We do therefore recommend taking out travel cancellation insurance to be covered in case of unforeseen events.

Hier wartet Zeit für dich - inmitten charmanter Landschaft, verknüpft mit Yogapraktiken, die dich jenseits deines Alltags ganz bei dir ankommen lassen. Nadeen unterrichtet Anusara-Yoga, bei dem neben feiner Körperausrichtung ein inspirierendes Thema mit in jede Klasse eingewoben wird. Nach einer Morgenmeditation fließen wir in eine dynamischere Klasse und kommen ganz in unserem Körper und unserer Kraft an. In den ruhigeren Abendklassen kannst du über Asanas und Atem in eine tiefere Begegnung mit dir selbst finden. Du kannst in diesen Tagen frei und leicht in deiner Lebensfreude fließen und tiefer in dich hineinspüren, um Klarheit und Antworten zu finden. Nadeen heißt dich mit offenem Herzen genau so willkommen, wie du in dem Moment gerade bist. Fühle dich frei, dir den Raum und die Zeit so zu nehmen, wie du es gerade brauchst.

Nadeen praktiziert Yoga seit über 20 Jahren und hat mehrere Yogalehrer-Ausbildungen sowie zahlreiche Fortbildungen absolviert. Ihr Weg führte sie vom Poweryoga zum Anusara Yoga mit seiner feinen Ausrichtung und inspirierenden Herzthemen. Sie drang ein in die Tiefen der Yogatherapie und -philosophie. Ihr Unterrichtsstil ist authentisch und undogmatisch, mal fröhlich-leicht, mal mit viel Raum zum Nachspüren und Ergründen der inneren Räume. Auf die Klassenthemen abgestimmte Musik unterstützt eine tiefere Resonanz und ihre menschenfreundliche Art macht es leicht, sich fallen zu lassen.

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.
