Summary

3 days of yoga and yoga philosophy in the special energy of Oberzell Monastery.
Course leader: Sylvia Asmodena Kurtar

The extensive monastery grounds with its herb garden, old trees, water springs and fountains are a special place for inner contemplation and geomantic walks!
We meditate, practise asanas, learn more about "feeling yourself" and have an intensely fulfilling time together.
Everything can, nothing must!
If you like, you can welcome the day with me with a morning meditation at 6:00 am outdoors. 3 classic yoga and Lu Jong classes (always before dinner, of course) round off our daily asana practice.
We talk about yoga as a philosophy of life, go into our finer perception, I read you stories...
Let yourself be surprised what this delicate time in this peaceful and highly spiritual place will move in you.

Asmodena is by far the best yoga teacher I have ever met. She radiates peace and contentment and is very wise. She is an absolute role model and the retreat at Oberzell Monastery was the beginning of a very exciting and beautiful journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your being and I will definitely be back! 🤍🤍

Both the yoga teacher and the monastery team were simply wonderful. I felt very comfortable during the 3 days and will be back next year. Asmodena is a really special, warm woman who noticed every participant. The accommodation in the Klara guest house was clean and tidy and the food was delicious. The opportunity to buy drinks and snacks in the cafeteria was ideal.

Great retreat weekend with Asmudema and Christina at Oberzell Monastery. Fascinating monastery grounds with ideal surroundings for meditation and relaxation. We got to know many different yoga approaches and exercises and learned a lot about their backgrounds. Very successful, we would be happy to return any time.
