5 days - Yoga and hiking with alkaline nutrition/alkaline fasting

Summary

The focus of the 5-day retreat in a small, individual group (max. 8 participants) is a holistic engagement with the soul, spirit and physical life. Through body, breathing and soul exercises from a New Yoga Thought, combined with an alkaline diet/alkaline fasting, we will give you suggestions for a creative way of life and everyday yoga practice.
Silvia Orthmann (alternative practitioner) will provide professional guidance on the topic of "alkaline nutrition/alkaline fasting" during the 5 days. Anyone interested in learning more about alkaline fasting or who is interested in fasting support measures, such as an enema, can find out more in advance. Basically, alkaline fasting gently relieves the body, the acid-base balance is brought into equilibrium and a more conscious relationship to the topic of healthy, balanced nutrition can develop. The introductory workshop on the first evening is based on a comprehensive script including many recipes (€17).
In our biologically renovated, 350-year-old half-timbered house with its own guest rooms, kitchen, yoga room, library, outdoor log sauna, natural garden with covered shed and the uplifting landscape of the Stromberg Nature Park, we offer you an environment that will enable you to strengthen your vitality.

Description of the massages :
Cupping massage on the back
This method was first described in China 5000 years ago. It has a much deeper effect than the usual
massage with the hand and can therefore also reach deeper layers of tissue. The effect of the
cupping massage is naturally much greater.
The well-oiled skin is intensively massaged with a silicone cupping head using negative pressure.
If necessary, I also use a Gua Sha scraper to stimulate the tissue even more intensively and thus
stimulate the tissue even more intensively and thus increase the effect.
This massage activates the blood flow in the cupping area
and causes
 an increased metabolism
 The lymphatic movement is improved
 Dilation and formation of new blood vessels
 Improves the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the tissue
 Tissue hormones are activated to neutralize and excrete toxic waste products.
neutralize and excrete toxic waste products.
 Defense reactions are activated.
 Relaxation of tense muscles
 The skin is tightened and the moisture content is positively
positively influenced.
Breuss massage
Breuss massage is a gentle, energetic massage technique for the spine.
Careful strokes with St. John's wort oil naturally stretch the spine. Undersupplied
regenerate and regain their buffer function. Displaced vertebrae find
back into their natural position. The Breuss massage has a pain-relieving and balancing effect.
Accumulated energy can flow again, the metabolism and thus the elimination of waste products via the skin is stimulated.
