FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Sivananda Yoga and what can I expect from a Sivananda Yoga retreat?

Sivananda Yoga is a classical, holistic yoga tradition based on the teachings of Swami Sivananda. A Sivananda Yoga retreat typically encompasses the five core principles: proper exercise (asanas), proper breathing (pranayama), proper relaxation (savasana), proper diet (vegetarian), and positive thinking and meditation. At Retreat Urlaub, you'll find 3 Sivananda Yoga retreats that offer you a deep immersion into this traditional yoga practice.

Is a Sivananda Yoga retreat suitable for beginners?

Yes, Sivananda Yoga retreats are excellent for beginners! The Sivananda tradition places great emphasis on a structured, step-by-step introduction to yoga practice. The 12 basic postures are taught systematically, and experienced teachers adapt the exercises to your individual level. At the same time, advanced practitioners will also find more challenging variations and in-depth workshops at many retreats.

How much do Sivananda Yoga retreats cost?

Prices for Sivananda Yoga retreats vary depending on duration, accommodation, and location. At Retreat Urlaub, prices range from €459 to €813, with an average price of around €617. Typically, vegetarian full board, yoga classes, meditation sessions, and often lectures on yoga philosophy are included in the price.

What does a typical daily schedule look like at a Sivananda Yoga retreat?

A typical day at a Sivananda Yoga retreat follows a well-established structure: The morning starts early with meditation and mantra chanting (satsang), followed by a pranayama and asana class. After a vegetarian brunch, there is time for workshops, karma yoga (selfless service), walks, or relaxation. In the afternoon, another yoga class takes place, and the day ends with a communal dinner and an evening satsang with meditation and chanting.

What distinguishes Sivananda Yoga from other yoga styles?

Sivananda Yoga stands out for its holistic approach that goes far beyond physical practice alone. Unlike more dynamic styles such as Vinyasa or Ashtanga, Sivananda Yoga is practiced at a calmer pace, with the 12 basic postures at its core. Particularly characteristic is the integration of meditation, mantra chanting, yoga philosophy (Vedanta), and a sattvic (pure) vegetarian diet. It is a lifestyle yoga that equally addresses body, mind, and spirit.

Do I have to eat vegetarian at a Sivananda Yoga retreat?

Yes, vegetarian nutrition is an essential part of the Sivananda tradition. At Sivananda Yoga retreats, exclusively vegetarian and often vegan meals are served, prepared according to the principles of sattvic nutrition – fresh, nourishing, and free from stimulants such as alcohol or caffeine. Many participants report feeling particularly light, energized, and clear-minded thanks to this diet during the retreat.

Where do Sivananda Yoga retreats take place?

Sivananda Yoga retreats are offered worldwide in inspiring locations – from Sivananda Ashrams in India and Europe to beautiful retreat centers on beaches, in the mountains, or surrounded by nature. At Retreat Urlaub, you'll currently find 3 Sivananda Yoga retreats at various locations. Browse through our offerings and find the perfect place for your yoga getaway.

What should I bring to a Sivananda Yoga retreat?

For a Sivananda Yoga retreat, we recommend comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for yoga practice, warm layers for meditation (e.g., a shawl or blanket), your own yoga mat (if available, though mats are often provided), a notebook for inspirations from philosophy lectures, and personal hygiene items. Since Sivananda retreats emphasize a simple, mindful lifestyle, it's advisable to minimize the use of electronic devices and fully immerse yourself in the experience.
