Yoga Retreats
The fundamental biology of the human species is that we are social animals
and could never survive without deeply connected and interdependent human contact.
Quality social connections, shared experiences, meaningful conversations,
pro-social contacts, mindfulness, physical health and longevity, and nourishing food are what I offer in these yoga retreats. Elements that allow for physical, emotional, mental and, spiritual well-being, homeostasis, vitality, and health.
Becoming aware of the holistic nature of our being and realizing that we are made of
body, breath, mind, community, and more.
This for me, is Yoga.
This is why I offer Yoga Retreats.
Return To Now Yoga & Mindfulness Retreat Carinthia
April 6 - 9, 2023
Most of us have a tendency to live in the past or in the future. How often do you catch yourself thinking about what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow? How does this affect your life and well-being?
In this 4-day yoga retreat, you'll learn how to live in the present moment more often and immerse yourself in the here & now. Energizing Yoga flows in the morning will give you new energy and Slow Flow, Yin yoga or Restorative yoga classes in the evening will help you to completely let go and relax. Guided meditations, pranayam, journaling sessions and many impulses for more mindfulness will round off your journey into the here & now. And all this with the sounds and smells of nature in the background.

Finding Peace Yoga Retreat Carinthia
May 6 - 10, 2024
"The holiest place is where an ancient hatred has become a present peace."
We often think of peace as the absence of war, that if powerful countries would reduce their weapon arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapon, we see our own minds – our prejudice, fear and ignorance.
In this 5-day yoga retreat, we work towards peace by uprooting war from ourselves. We'll look deeply within to cultivate compassion, because understanding our self helps us understand others. Using our collective wisdom and experience to be the torch lighting our path, showing us what to do. That kind understanding is the fruit of awareness. Energizing Yoga flows in the morning will give you new energy and Slow Flow, Yin
or Restorative yoga classes in the evening will help you to completely let go and relax. Guided meditations, pranayam, Sound Healing sessions and many impulses for more mindfulness will round off your journey into the here & now. And all this with the sounds and smells of nature in the background.
