Summary

3-Day Yoga Therapy Retreat to Promote Mental Health
The wide range of nervous system overload, states of exhaustion, as well as the rise in anxiety and other mental health conditions—which now affect nearly a third of the population in Germany—call for a holistic and self-directed approach to healing. Led by Hans-Peter Fritsche (yoga teacher) and Claudia Fritsche (yoga teacher, yoga therapist (*), and psychological counselor/personal coach), we will primarily practice physical, breathing, and spiritual exercises from the so-called “New Yoga Will” over the course of these three days.
But we will also strengthen our vital energy and thus our mental health through other activities such as hiking, swimming, sauna sessions, philosophical discussions, and relaxing in the nature-oriented garden.

(*) Therapeutic yoga is a holistic, preventive approach that also supports the healing of physical and mental limitations.

My expectations were fully met: it was an intensive time with great encounters (it was a very harmonious group) and valuable impulses. The hikes and yoga sessions were just right for me. On Sunday afternoon I felt really refreshed and invigorated! Thank you so much, dear Claudia and Hans-Peter, for your time with us!

First of all: it was not a yoga therapy retreat! It was a yoga retreat for creative living with a herbal walk. (Nevertheless) I felt very comfortable from the first minute to the end. And I would have liked to "hold out" for 2 or 3 more days. The 4 yoga sessions were instructive for me, the lake adventure was intense. The group was so harmonious, everything was just right. And to top it all off, the late summer weather was unbelievably beautiful. Claudia and Hans-Peter were always open, welcoming and responsive to questions... Thank you very much, I will definitely be back.

This retreat was a very wonderful and enriching experience for me. Claudia and Hans-Peter teach yoga in a very mindful way and pay attention to the needs of the individual and the group.

This was my first yoga retreat. I am a beginner in yoga. The welcome from Claudia was very warm. I felt comfortable in the "Allgäu" room. There was an open kitchen for the participants. The food was vegetarian and delicious. There was breakfast and dinner. I'm currently putting on weight and was a bit worried that I wouldn't lose it during the retreat :-D. But this was unfounded. But this was unfounded. I kept my weight off :-). Hans Peter's soul exercises really appealed to me and I am still working on implementing the cosmic prayer. Due to my somewhat limited mobility (it always looked so easy with the women :-D), the asana exercises were sometimes difficult. This was an important reason for me to get a balance for the body. On the one hand (strength building-muscle building, which I already practise) and on the other hand the flexibility for the body. We all had good conversations, the hike to the lake was a nice opportunity to get to know each other and to practice yoga exercises at the lake early in the morning and then take a pleasant, fresh lake bath. During the asana exercises, I briefly reached my limits because of my flexibility. I found it nice that Claudia was considerate and catered to everyone's needs. It was generally nice to see that there was always consultation, everyone was asked if they agreed and no one should feel obliged to do anything. The food was delicious, fresh and we had good conversations. I came to rest, felt relaxed and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. The nature is beautiful to look at, there are great hiking trails and the hosts are always there for you :-)
