Ashtanga Yoga Retreats

Asthanga yoga strengthens the body, calms the mind and provides a holistic sense of well-being. This style of yoga is a predominantly body-oriented form. The exercises in Asthanga yoga are powerful and dynamic. The special feature of Asthanga Yoga is that the positions (asanas) are held in a consistent sequence. Translated, Asthanga means "eight limbs". The basis of this type of yoga is the so-called Yoga Sutra - the foundation of the philosophy of yoga, which is made up of eight limbs and represents the path to self-realization.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an Ashtanga Yoga retreat?
An Ashtanga Yoga retreat is an immersive getaway dedicated to the traditional Ashtanga Yoga practice. Ashtanga Yoga follows a set sequence of postures (asanas) linked by conscious breathing (Ujjayi Pranayama) and focal points (Drishti). During a retreat, you have the opportunity to deepen this dynamic and powerful yoga style under professional guidance – away from everyday life. At Retreat Urlaub, you'll currently find 11 Ashtanga Yoga retreats.
Who is an Ashtanga Yoga retreat suitable for?
Ashtanga Yoga retreats are suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners. Many retreats offer Mysore-style classes, where each participant receives individual guidance and can practice at their own pace. Beginners learn the fundamentals of the Primary Series, while more experienced yogis can deepen their existing practice. When booking, pay attention to the indicated experience levels to find the retreat that's right for you.
How much does an Ashtanga Yoga retreat cost?
Prices for Ashtanga Yoga retreats vary depending on duration, accommodation, and location. At Retreat Urlaub, prices range from €170 to €2.207, with an average price of around €968. Typically, accommodation, yoga instruction, and often vegetarian or vegan meals are included. Some retreats offer additional extras such as meditation sessions, workshops, or Ayurveda treatments.
What is the difference between Mysore-style and Led Class in Ashtanga Yoga?
There are two main teaching formats in Ashtanga Yoga: In Mysore-style, you practice the asana sequence independently at your own pace while the teacher provides individual adjustments and support – ideal for building a personal practice. In a Led Class, the teacher guides all participants through the sequence together with a set breathing rhythm. Many Ashtanga Yoga retreats offer both formats, so you can benefit from both approaches.
What does a typical day at an Ashtanga Yoga retreat look like?
A typical day at an Ashtanga Yoga retreat starts early in the morning – usually between 6:00 and 7:00 AM – with a Mysore-style or led Ashtanga practice. After breakfast, there are often workshops on yoga philosophy, pranayama (breathing exercises), or anatomy. The afternoon is usually free for relaxation, excursions, or additional offerings like meditation. The day winds down with a gentle evening practice or kirtan (mantra chanting). The exact schedule varies depending on the retreat.
Do I need any prior experience for an Ashtanga Yoga retreat?
In general, you don't need any prior experience to attend an Ashtanga Yoga retreat. Many retreats are specifically designed for beginners and introduce you to the practice step by step. However, a basic level of physical fitness is helpful, as Ashtanga Yoga is a fairly physically demanding yoga style. If you already have yoga experience, you can look for advanced retreats that focus on the Second or Third Series.
Where do Ashtanga Yoga retreats take place?
Ashtanga Yoga retreats are offered worldwide in inspiring locations – from tropical destinations like Bali and Sri Lanka, to sunny Southern Europe (Greece, Spain, Portugal), to peaceful hideaways in Germany and Austria. India, the birthplace of Ashtanga Yoga, is also a popular destination, especially the city of Mysore. At Retreat Urlaub, you'll find 11 Ashtanga Yoga retreats at various beautiful locations.
What should I bring to an Ashtanga Yoga retreat?
For an Ashtanga Yoga retreat, we recommend comfortable, form-fitting sportswear that allows freedom of movement during the dynamic sequences. A personal yoga towel is helpful, as Ashtanga Yoga is a sweat-inducing practice. Yoga mats are usually provided, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. Additionally, remember to pack sun protection, comfortable casual clothing, and a notebook for inspirations and insights from workshops.
