5-day yoga retreat in the idyllic Steinfeld Monastery (Eifel)

Yoga, meditation and the power of silence
The historic Steinfeld Abbey, in the middle of the green Eifel, provides a very special ambience, security, peace and quiet behind monastery walls, and the unique experience of the landscape and nature of the Eifel. The former abbey is one of the best-preserved monastic monuments in the Rhineland. The surrounding Eifel region invites you to explore the mountains and forests. We use the long weekend with the public holiday on June 19 (Corpus Christi) to experience this atmosphere. The pictures on this page will give you a first impression.

We work with physical and breathing exercises from the yoga tradition, with meditation and deep relaxation. We explore the monastery and the surrounding area. We experience inner and outer stillness. We get in touch with powerful tools to experience our inner being. We find our way back to our own balance.

Steinfeld Monastery is located in the middle of the green Eifel. It has over 1,000 years of history and has a number of historic buildings in immaculate renovated condition, a basilica, monastery café, monastery store, monastery garden and labyrinth. It's like arriving in another world.

The site is located on the route of the Eifelsteig and the historic Roman road and is ideal for immersing yourself in silence with yoga and meditation.

The new guest house at Steinfeld Monastery offers single and double rooms of four-star standard. The rooms are between 25 and 30 square meters in size, furnished with solid oak floorboards, natural stone in the bathrooms and natural materials for fabrics, covers and blankets. Each room has its own bathroom. A glass elevator connects the three floors of the house. The rooms are decorated with works of art from the Steinfeld Academy.
Accommodation is not included in the price and will be settled individually with the monastery on site by each retreat participant. Accommodation in single room 90 Euro/per night and person; double room 63 Euro/per night and person. Please let us know in a note whether you would like to be accommodated in a single or double room so that we can reserve this for you in advance. If you would like to share a double room with a specific person, please also let us know.
Check-in is possible on Wednesday from 3 pm.

We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together in the old dining room. At the front of the hall there is a food counter with a large buffet where guests serve themselves or are served by kitchen staff. A separate area is reserved for us in the hall. There is always a buffet with different dishes to choose from; vegetarian and vegan options are always available. If you have any intolerances or allergies, please let us know when you make your reservation.
Breakfast is included in the room price; full board is provided for the retreat but is not included in the seminar price (plus 37 euros/day). Meals and accommodation will be settled on site with the monastery.
