Summary

4 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.

I can warmly recommend the yoga days at Oberzell Monastery! In a very pleasant and spiritual place with open-minded sisters, you find peace and can concentrate fully on yourself. The varied yoga sessions and the valuable impulses from Asmodena help you to focus on the here and now and what is really important. This enabled me to take another step on my own path. A great time-out for body and soul!

It was a wonderful experience. Sylvia is a very experienced yoga teacher who supports people on their path with her zest for life and loving nature. The retreat was very well organized, the yoga sessions were incredibly effective and through her introduction to meditation I finally understood what meditation is all about. In addition, the food was very tasty and the location was unique. I was able to relax wonderfully and take a lot away with me. Thank you, Sylvia, for the incredible atmosphere you created.
