Hamburg Weekend Retreat – Wellness, Yoga, Meditation, Self-Discovery

A Break for Me
Yoga Retreat Weekend in Hamburg
Location right on the Alster

We harness the power of meditation and yoga to create deep stillness, greater calm, expansiveness, and openness in our bodies and minds. We connect with our soul, our inner nature, and observe what is happening right now—what within us needs more attention, and what can be let go of.

Together, we calm our mind (monkey mind), allow stillness to settle in, strengthen our life energy, and tap into our inner strength. We activate the chakras (energy channels) through breathing exercises (pranayama) and flowing Hatha and Vinyasa yoga sequences (asanas). In the process, we release tension in the neck and relieve back pain, while mobilizing the hips to promote your well-being.

Combined with Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, relaxation techniques, self-reflection, and journaling, by the end of the retreat you’ll feel clearer and stronger. You’ll feel significantly more refreshed.

I also offer an optional walking meditation along the canal. During breaks, enjoy walks along the Alster and conversations to share insights about your inner journey, if you’d like.

I’m happy to guide you on your path and support you throughout your process.
Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners.

About Lela Akhavan
Founder of Lela Yoga Hamburg
Yoga Teacher (500 TTC, Yoga Alliance), Meditation Instructor,
Life/Business Coach (DBVC, IOBC), Emotion Coach (emTrace®).

Over 20 years ago, I discovered the benefits of yoga and meditation for myself. In India, Thailand, and Australia—where I lived for two years—I deepened my practice. I learned meditation, Buddhist teachings, and mindfulness techniques. In 2014, I completed my yoga teacher training with Swiss Ayur Yoga therapist Remo Rittiner. In addition to the healing Eastern methods of yoga, I gained a solid foundation in Western knowledge of human anatomy. Further in-depth training followed, such as Yogic Mindfulness with the living yoga legend A. G. Mohan, Personal Life Coaching, Anahata Yoga (Yoga Alliance), Tools for Transformation, and Hands On (BDY).
My mission: to guide people toward an authentic and self-determined life in a sustainable way.

Location: Hamburg Art Nouveau
This retreat takes place in a stunning Art Nouveau building in Hamburg, right on the Alster. We practice in a room with ornate ceiling stucco, a beautiful old wooden floor, and polished sliding glass doors featuring lion heads.
