Arrival

The Yoga Vidya seminar house is idyllically located on the edge of the old spa town of Bad Meinberg. The location is quiet and central at the same time. Therefore, it is easily accessible by train or car. Larger cities in the vicinity include Paderborn (27 km away), Bielefeld (35 km away), and Hanover (100 km away).

If traveling by train, we recommend choosing the Horn-Bad Meinberg station as your destination, which is approximately 5 km from Yoga Vidya. Yoga Vidya Bad Meinberg offers a free shuttle service to the seminar house, which picks you up from the train station in Horn-Bad Meinberg between 8:30 a.m. and 7:15 p.m.

I would have expected more instruction on the individual asanas for a beginners' course and then specifically for the back. For example, the sun salutation was simply demonstrated and the participants sometimes got into and out of the individual poses in a somewhat adventurous way. I would also have expected an explanation of what to pay particular attention to in the poses. I had yoga experience, booked the beginners' course specifically to get guidance on the alignment and was unfortunately completely disappointed. Apart from that, the accommodation is of course basic, but it is an ashram and not a wellness hotel. You should be aware that the spiritual side of yoga plays a big role, which I had also underestimated. Overall, it was okay, but I wouldn't go there again.
