Find Peace, Gain Strength – Pilates & Yin Yoga Retreat

Der 800 Jahre alte Vierkanthof in Alleinlage mit Blick über die Hügellandschaft des Mühlviertels bietet die ideale Atmosphäre für eine nachhaltige Auszeit. Neues ausprobieren, den Kopf frei bekommen und Impulse für Veränderung spüren. Rückzug und Ruhe finden Sie am Naturbadeteich, in den Wäldern und in der Weite der sanft-hügeligen Landschaft. Genießen Sie Momente der Entspannung in der nach Zirbenholz duftenden Sauna und abends in gemütlicher Runde rund um die Feuerschale.

At the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center, you can enjoy modern vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Start your day with a heartwarming breakfast featuring breads, jams, cheese, freshly made porridge, fruit, a variety of milk options, yogurt, fruit juices, spreads, coffee, and a selection of teas. At 2:00 p.m., we serve a light lunch featuring a warming soup along with spreads served with bread or pastries.

The day begins with an energizing Pilates workout. Precise, controlled movements strengthen your core, build muscle, and improve your posture—while also getting your circulation going, and increasing both stability and flexibility with each session. Over time, you’ll develop greater body awareness and experience just how good a mindful challenge can feel.

This is balanced by the evening Yin Yoga practice, often referred to as “the quiet practice.” Unlike dynamic yoga styles, Yin Yoga focuses on holding poses for three to five minutes, usually without any muscle tension. Meditation cushions, yoga blocks, straps, and blankets help you adapt each pose to your body. The practice primarily targets the deeper layers of tissue—connective tissue, ligaments, tendons, and joints—and, with gentle sounds and moments of stillness, creates a safe space to listen inward.

This retreat is ideal for anyone who is already familiar with Pilates and yoga or would like to discover them for the first time and is interested in combining challenging movement with deep relaxation. Between sessions, you’ll have time to explore the hills of the Mühlviertel on your own, relax in the Swiss stone pine sauna, or take a walk along the property’s own Chakra Trail. The Kleebauer Hof, an 800-year-old square farmstead in a secluded location, provides the perfect setting—with views of the countryside and the open expanse that invites you to unwind.

What you’ll take away from the Pilates & Yin Yoga Retreat:
- A strengthened core and a new sense of your own posture
- Increased flexibility in connective tissue, ligaments, and joints through the practice of Yin Yoga
- Tools to better shift between tension and conscious relaxation
- Heightened body awareness that you can carry with you into your daily life
