Intensive & spiritual: immerse yourself in all facets of yoga

Yoga gives us the opportunity to live peacefully and connect with ourselves. Yoga brings relaxation, breaks the monotony and strengthens our self-confidence.

These days cover all facets of yoga and is also an invitation for yoga teachers but also for ambitious yogis and yoginis who want to build strength, stamina and power to dive deeper and longer into postures, become more flexible and is for anyone who wants to dive deeper into the philosophy of yoga as a way of life.

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.

Modern, vegetarian-vegan cuisine awaits you at the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center.

At 2 pm we serve you a light lunch with a warming soup and spreads with bread or pastries.

We practice classical hatha yoga, which forms the basis of all yoga styles. Our focus is on correct alignment in each asana so that you can create a better foundation for further asana practice.
Alignment is one of the cornerstones, the basis to prevent any kind of self-injury due to misalignment. Once we are well aligned, we are ready to flow through Hatha and Vinyasa flows.
