Pranayama Retreats

Everything revolves around breathing at the Pranayama Retreat. Yoga combined with mindfulness and in connection with the breath. Leave everything behind and just stay in the here and now for the duration of the retreat. Feel yourself, feel inside yourself and find yourself again. Allow lightness to return and be experienced. Under guidance in a wonderful place, clarity will return for the next steps and for your own life. Heaviness is transformed into lightness. Pranayama yoga is practiced at least twice a day. Awareness of your own body without any pressure, relaxation and peace return. Pure relaxation, nice people and enough peace and space for inner processes.
