Summary

6 days of yoga and yoga philosophy amid the unique energy of Oberzell Abbey.
Instructor: Sylvia Asmodena Kurtar

The sprawling monastery grounds, with their herb garden, ancient trees, natural springs, and fountains, are a special place for introspection and geomantic walks!
We’ll meditate, practice asanas, learn more about “being present,” and share an intense, fulfilling time together.
Everything is optional—nothing is mandatory!
If you’d like, you can join me in welcoming the day with a morning meditation outdoors at 6:30 a.m. 2–3 classic yoga and Lu Jong sessions (always before meals, of course) round out our daily asana practice.
We’ll talk about yoga as a philosophy of life, tune into our subtle perceptions, go for walks, and I’ll read stories to you...
Let yourself be surprised by what this gentle, delicate time in this peaceful and deeply spiritual place will stir within you.
We begin at 2:00 p.m. on the day of arrival and end at approximately 3:00 p.m. on the day of departure

It’s always possible to participate in just 3 days of a 4-day retreat; in that case, arrival would be one day later.
