Summary

Sonne Mellau - Feel Good Hotel 4*Superior | 2,000 m² Leading Spa Awards-winning hotel wellness area | a culinary journey featuring gourmet cuisine

During this high-quality yoga retreat, you’ll learn to realign your body and mind through an inspiring, authentic yoga program. You’ll bring a new sense of health awareness into your life and leave feeling revitalized, more resilient, and better balanced for everyday life.

During these days, you’ll grow both internally and externally and return home filled with positive energy. All our retreats consist of sequential yoga sessions and take place in a shared group setting. This means you’ll be with the same participants from start to finish—all of whom are traveling specifically for the retreat. Meals are also shared as a group, though you’re free to step away from the group at any time.

With the help of our adjustments (corrections from the yoga teacher), you can open up new worlds of asanas for yourself. Through assists, you can often better understand how the asana is meant to be performed and gain greater body awareness. Assists require the teacher’s full physical engagement and serve to intensify the asana. This can be achieved through pressing, stretching, and alignment. Every body is different, and there is no single adjustment that works equally well for everyone.

An authentic yoga program featuring individual corrections and personalized energy healing treatments awaits you. Since its renovation, the Wellness Design Hotel offers even more luxury and wellness for body, mind, and soul, with a magnificent view of the mountain panorama. The 2,000 m² hotel wellness area, featuring massage tables, various saunas, steam rooms, a swimming pool, and a garden pool, provides the perfect setting for relaxation.

Course instructors: Peter (former yoga monk) and Samira
Long-time yoga teachers/instructors, teachers of meditation, breathwork, and yoga philosophy, Ayurvedic and vegetarian nutritionists, certified health and sports coaches, with diverse training in energy healing, astrology, and Reiki.

CLASSICAL HATHA YOGA, PRANAYAMA, AND RELAXATION WITH MEDITATION
In our 90-minute yoga classes, we teach classical Hatha Yoga, consisting of Sun Salutations, asanas (12 basic yoga poses and many variations), Pranayama breathing, and relaxation techniques. Hatha Yoga is suitable for all levels (with individual adjustments).

Through assists, you can often better understand how the asana is meant to be performed and gain greater body awareness. Assists require the teacher’s full physical engagement and serve to deepen the asana. This can be achieved through pressing, stretching, and alignment. Every body is different, and there is no single adjustment that works equally well for everyone.

4 days of instruction in German / Also available in English upon request

In addition, during the retreat weekends, we also offer personal energy healing sessions.
Using various techniques and knowledge from biological healing, geomancy, ancestral regression, pendulum work, spinal diagnostics, and much more, we explore the causes and blockages that may be preventing you from making positive progress. What is hidden in the subconscious can thus be released and begin to heal, allowing the individual to step into their full power. A session lasts approximately 90 minutes and costs 180 euros (including a detailed summary via email). You’re welcome to schedule an appointment
in advance.

Additionally, Reiki sessions (60 minutes each) are available. Reiki targets precisely where the greatest disharmony exists in the body, thereby helping to activate your own self-healing powers. Ailments of any kind—such as back pain, emotional imbalance, etc.—can be alleviated, thereby positively supporting your healing process. Please feel free to contact us in advance to schedule an appointment. We wholeheartedly recommend a Reiki session during the yoga retreat.

Authentic Hatha Yoga, meditation, yoga asanas, and pranayama with relaxation according to Sivananda Yoga

The 90-minute yoga classes and open sessions feature classical Sivananda Hatha Yoga, consisting of the Sun Salutation and 12 basic asanas (with variations), pranayama, and relaxation techniques. Life-changing and enriching!

Hatha Yoga is suitable for all levels (with individual adjustments), and you can join at any time.

The YOGA meets YOU retreats at the 4-star Lifestyle Hotel Sonne are suitable for everyone—whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced practitioner. The exercises are adapted to the guests’ individual skill levels.

All YOGA meets YOU retreats are “sequential yoga, meditation, and lecture sessions”. By the end of the retreat, participants will have internalized the “basics” to the point where they can integrate yoga into their daily lives at home on their own.

A yoga session consists of warm-up exercises (Sun Salutation) and stretching exercises (asanas). This helps release physical tension and develop strength, endurance, and flexibility. Breathing exercises (Pranayama) recharge the body’s energy reserves. During the concluding deep relaxation session, the body and mind can effectively unwind—an urgent necessity for a healthy and high-performing body.

The yoga instructors provide individual corrections and guidance. After the yoga retreat, all participants continue to receive support in the form of information about yoga, book recommendations, and answers to personal questions.

Participants enjoy an intense, inspiring, genuine, and authentic yoga experience. Each day, we offer lectures sharing interesting insights into yoga philosophy, healthier living, Yoga@Home, Yoga@Work, and more, allowing participants to discover the deeper meaning of yoga from a completely different perspective.

Mantras heighten sensitivity to sensations and are excellent for focusing the mind and entering meditative states. These energizing and healing energies permeate the entire body, reaching deep into the soul, where you are simply invited to experience them. Om is the most famous mantra in yoga, but there are other magical verses in Sanskrit that make the heart resonate.

After just two days, you can already see how participants begin to relax, their faces and eyes start to glow noticeably, and their bodies undergo positive changes. The positive effects of such a yoga retreat usually last for months. Many participants then turn their daily lives around and begin living a much “more mindful and healthier”
