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.

Our next 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.

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.

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.

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.
