Immerse yourself in the soothing world of Ayurveda 🌺 and treat yourself to some time off for your body, mind, and soul. In the relaxed atmosphere of a yoga ashram, you’ll find space to let go, regenerate, and recharge. Ayurveda, the millennia-old Indian system of health, helps you rediscover your natural balance and unleash new vitality.
Through Ayurvedic nutrition 🥗, soothing treatments 💆♀️, traditional herbs 🌿, and valuable guidance for a healthy lifestyle, you’ll learn how the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—influence your well-being and how they can be brought into harmony. Meditation, mindfulness, and nourishing rituals help you reduce stress, find inner peace, and strengthen your self-healing powers.
A gentle daily rhythm featuring optional yoga classes 🧘♀️, daily meditation, inspiring talks, small workshops, and time spent in nature 🌞 will help you integrate these experiences into your everyday life in a lasting way. The practice of yoga promotes flexibility, vitality, and body awareness, while relaxation and regeneration provide new strength for both body and mind.
The 2026 retreats offer different focuses: The Ayurveda introductions will take place from September 4–6, September 25–27, and December 18–20, and are ideal for anyone who wants to learn the basics of Ayurveda and take home practical tips for better health and well-being.
The Ayurveda Fast, running from October 11–16, focuses on gentle cleansing, relief, and regeneration. The Ayurveda Wellness Weekend from October 2–10 and October 23–25 invites you to let go, relax, and recharge.

A very informative seminar as an introduction to Ayurvedic medicine in a warm atmosphere and beautiful surroundings! Very tasty and healthy food, a great supply of teas and waters of all kinds and above all an excellent yoga and meditation program!

I spent a very fulfilling weekend at the retreat. Everyone at the retreat was extremely friendly. As an inexperienced person, I was introduced to meditation very well. The yoga classes and seminars were very good. The food was also perfect.
