PLEASE NOTE - RETREAT
A classic retreat, means withdrawing from your everyday surroundings to dedicate yourself to your spiritual practices. We will withdraw from all digital as well as printed media. In addition, during the Yoga Therapy Retreat, there will be two days of silence to retreat further and delve deeper into our Selves.
This withdrawal from outer distractions and the concentrated attentiveness to one’s own being is intense and not always easy. Issues from your everyday life may surface, as well as unresolved traumas or samskaras from previous lives. Often, this will be the first time in years that you see yourself unmasked. Therefore, you should be sure you come to this course mentally and physically stable.
This course is practice-oriented and conceived to enable yoga instructors prolonged meditation and contemplation. Do not confuse this retreat with a wellness holiday!
This retreat is an immersion into your own yoga practice, something a teacher training can rarely provide, and the natural next step for a yoga teacher.
Emerging from the profoundly personal retreat experience, will grow the strength and skill to facilitate meditation.

schedule overview
““It was simply wonderful and the after effect is still so potent. My senses are heightened and I feel a deep sense of connection. I am also dreaming a lot. Evidently, I am working through an immense amount. Sometimes it feels strange, but I now understand so much more clearly, why something has happened etc. My dreams for the future are also clearer and in my daily life, my inner voice is so much louder or rather, my hearing has improved!
It has been an amazing rollercoaster ride. I am curious, where this journey will take me. At any rate, I am so looking forward to level IV with you!
Finally, I must let you know how grateful I am to have you as my teacher! The sessions are so captivating, focused, structured and very inspiring. I feel like Alice in Wonderland, absorbing so many new concepts and impressions. Thank you for your humorous, on point and insightful explanations”
