Body-Art® & Breathwork Retreat in Chiemgau

Ziehen Sie sich zurück in das Mountain Retreat Center in der Chiemgauer Bergwelt. Das Retreat Center hat 20 Zimmer mit Ausblick in die beeindruckende Naturlandschaft der Alpen. Da kann es schon passieren, dass man aus dem Nichts ins Staunen kommt. Immer wieder aufs Neue. Jedes unserer Zimmer ist für sich ein Rückzugsort der besonderen Art. Klein, fein, gemütlich.

All meals at the Mountain Retreat Center are vegetarian and vegan. The most important meal of the day—at least according to the Chinese—is breakfast. That’s why we also place special emphasis on a good, healthy breakfast—which always includes warm porridge. For lunch, you’ll enjoy soup, bread, and spreads, and in the evening, you’ll be treated to a delicious buffet featuring salad, creative vegetarian and vegan main courses, and dessert. Everything is freshly prepared and, whenever possible, made with seasonal ingredients. We can accommodate food intolerances with advance notice.

This retreat with Carmen Kerler at the Mountain Retreat Center in Chiemgau combines mindful 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 guided breathing. Strength, mobility, and stability arise not from pressure, but from precision and body intelligence. Each sequence flows—guided by the breath, at your own pace.

Breathwork deepens this experience. Sometimes the movement follows the breath; other times, the breath leads into the movement. Various 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 integrative. Between sessions, there’s time for walks through the surrounding meadows, for moments on a bench overlooking 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 views of nature, provides a clear framework for this retreat. The vegetarian-vegan full-board meals help you feel light and well-nourished.

This retreat is designed for anyone who wants to rediscover movement, use breath consciously, and develop inner stability—regardless of whether you come from a yoga background or prefer functional training.

- Greater body awareness and functional strength
