Lu Jong, the Tibetan healing yoga, is a centuries-old system of movement based on the principles of Tibetan medicine. Through gentle, flowing movements combined with mindful breathing and inner alignment, energy channels are opened and the body’s self-healing powers are activated. Sabine Maierhofer teaches this practice with great mindfulness and depth—inspired by Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche, who made the exercises accessible to modern people. Sabine has built up her extensive knowledge through training and continuing education in Tibetan yoga and Tibetan medicine, as well as during numerous stays abroad. Her studies in anthropology and her work in cultural institutions have infused her very open, holistic worldview with many diverse influences.

At the Lu Jong retreat, the content ranges from the Five Elements exercises to sequences for the five vital organs and the six mental states. Topics such as insomnia and fatigue are also specifically addressed with appropriate movements.

What makes this unique is that the exercises can be performed without any prior experience—even while sitting in a chair.

Another focus is on teaching the fundamentals of Tibetan medicine, as well as behavioral and dietary recommendations tailored to the respective season. Elements from Tantric Buddhism and the Bon tradition deepen the understanding of how the practice affects the body and mind. Insights from Tibetan medicine on self-care will help you maintain inner calm even during emotionally turbulent times.

In addition to the practical component, there is time for reflection and discussion. The program is complemented by daily walks in the surrounding nature, which help you integrate your experiences and feel a deep connection to your surroundings. The content is designed to be practical, so you can take exercise sequences home with you—for more energy, clarity, and balance in your daily life. The Kleebauer Hof offers a soothing setting for this.

Program details: Two sessions per day, each lasting two hours, featuring practical exercises, theory, and discussion. A session at the beginning (Day 1) and one at the end (last day) round out the retreat.
