Healing movements: Tibetan yoga for inner peace

At the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center, nestled in the gentle hilly landscape of the Mühlviertel, a special journey to greater inner clarity and health begins. Surrounded by forests, meadows and far-reaching views, you will discover the deep-rooted wisdom of Tibetan healing yoga (Lu Jong) together with Sabine Maierhofer. This holistic method not only helps to activate vital energy, but also to deal better with emotional stress and alleviate sleep disorders. Experience how the combination of movement, breath and nature gives you new vitality.

The 800-year-old square farm in a secluded location with a view over the hilly landscape of the Mühlviertel offers the ideal atmosphere for a sustainable break. Try out new things, clear your head and feel the impetus for change. You will find retreat and peace at the natural swimming pond, in the woods and in the vastness of the gently rolling landscape. Enjoy moments of relaxation in the pine-scented sauna and in the evening in a cozy atmosphere around the fire bowl.

All rooms are furnished in country style and have a shower, WC and hairdryer or share a shower/WC. All rooms are deliberately TV-free. You can choose between a courtyard or country view. 230,000 square meters of meadows and woodland belong to the farm.

Modern, vegetarian-vegan cuisine awaits you at the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center. Start the day with a feel-good breakfast with breads, jams, cheese, freshly prepared porridge, fruit, various types of milk, yogurt, fruit juices, spreads, coffee and different teas. At 2 pm we serve you a light lunch with a warming soup and spreads with bread or pastries.

Lu Jong, Tibetan healing yoga, is a centuries-old movement technique based on the knowledge of Tibetan medicine. Gentle, flowing movements in combination with conscious breathing and inner alignment open energy channels and activate self-healing powers. 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 during many stays abroad in addition to training and further education in Tibetan yoga and Tibetan medicine. Through her studies in anthropology and her work in cultural institutions, many influences flow into her very open, holistic view of the world.

The content of the Lu Jong retreat ranges from the five element exercises to sequences for the five vital organs and the six mental states. Topics such as insomnia and tiredness are also specifically addressed with appropriate movements.

The special feature: The exercises can be performed without prior knowledge, even while sitting on a chair.

Another focus is on teaching the basics of Tibetan medicine as well as behavioral and nutritional recommendations related to the respective season. Elements from Tantric Buddhism and the Bon tradition deepen the understanding of the effect of the practice on body and mind. Impulses from Tibetan medicine for self-care teach you how to remain calm even in emotionally turbulent times.

In addition to the practical part, there is also space for reflection and exchange. The program is complemented by daily walks in the surrounding nature, which help you to integrate what you have experienced and feel a deep connection to your surroundings. The content is designed to be practical, so that you can take exercise sequences home with you - for more energy, clarity and balance in everyday life. The Kleebauer Hof offers a beneficial setting for this.

Scope of the program: Two sessions of two hours each day with practice, theory and exchange. One session at the beginning (1st day) and one at the end (last day) round off the retreat.
