What can you expect during this yoga weekend retreat?
Hatha Yoga – purifying the physical body and energy system
Twice-a-day hatha yoga practice with breathing exercises, yoga postures, and deep relaxation. Suitable for all levels – beginners will receive special attention and advanced students will get the challenges they need to deepen their practice.
Raja Yoga (Meditation) – purifying the mental system
Guided and silent meditation. We'll use the precious hours of the early morning to move towards the state of highest concentration and creativity by turning the mind inward.
Mantra Chanting – cleansing of the emotional and energy systems
Repetitive chanting of mantras (vibrational manifestations of aspects of the Divine). A very effective method to concentrate the mind and to purify the heart. You don’t need to be a good singer to experience the power of chanting!
Nada Yoga (Yoga of sound) – cleansing of the energy system
Rhythm and melody is common to everything in nature, and we will explore sound vibrations by both listening to and producing sound. You will experience the beneficial effects of sound on all levels – physical, mental and spiritual.
Jnana Yoga (Yoga philosophy) – cleansing of the intellectual system
“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of theory”, but we must practice with proper understanding and purpose. During the lectures and discussions we will explore the yogic scriptures and concepts.
Personal treatments, sauna, forest bathing
In your free time, we offer personal treatments like Shiatsu, oil massage and Reiki. On Saturday and Sunday afternoon you can enjoy the sauna and cool down in the lake or have a refreshing walk in the nearby forest and meadows.
