Body Art® & Breathwork Retreat in Chiemgau

Retreat to the Mountain Retreat Center in the Chiemgau mountains. The Retreat Center has 20 rooms with views of the impressive natural landscape of the Alps. It's easy to be amazed by the beauty that surrounds you. Again and again. Each of our rooms is a special kind of retreat. Small, refined, cozy.

All meals at the Mountain Retreat Center are vegetarian-vegan. The most important meal of the day, at least according to the Chinese, is breakfast. That's why we place particular emphasis on a good, healthy breakfast – always including warm porridge. For lunch, you can enjoy soup, bread, and spreads, and in the evening, you will be treated to a delicious buffet with salad, creative vegetarian-vegan main courses, and dessert. Always fresh and cooked with seasonal ingredients whenever possible. Food intolerances can be accommodated if notified in advance.

This retreat with Carmen Kerler at the Mountain Retreat Center in Chiemgau combines conscious movement, yoga, and breathwork into a holistic practice that challenges you physically while clearing your mind. Breathwork is the conscious application of various breathing techniques to regulate the nervous system, promote inner clarity, and bring the body and mind into balance.

Body-Art® is based on the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine and combines functional movement sequences with mindfulness and breath control. Strength, mobility, and stability are not achieved through pressure, but through precision and body intelligence. Each sequence flows—carried by the breath, at your own pace.

Breathwork deepens this experience. Sometimes the movement follows the breath, sometimes the breath leads into the movement. Different breathing techniques have a regulating effect on the nervous system, promote focus, and release tension. This creates a natural rhythm between activation and integration. The morning sessions are clarifying, centering, and powerful. In the evening, the practice becomes calmer, more balancing, and more integrating. Between sessions, there is time for walks through the surrounding meadows, for moments on a bench with a view of the mountain landscape, or for soothing warmth in the Swiss stone pine sauna with a view of the Chiemgau mountains. The Mountain Retreat Center, with its bright seminar rooms and panoramic view of nature, creates a clear framework for this retreat. The vegetarian-vegan full board helps you feel light and well cared for. This retreat is aimed at anyone who wants to experience movement in a new way, use their breath consciously, and develop inner stability—regardless of whether you come from a yoga background or appreciate functional forms of training.
