Liberation of the heart: yoga & mantra chanting

Chanting mantras is not only a practice of repetitive, protective chanting sequences, but also a deep breathing exercise, a meditation to free the heart and an expression of the self. This practice strengthens our physical and mental health and daily yoga sessions promote flexibility and a holistic sense of well-being. The healing atmosphere of the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center in Altenfelden and the beautiful nature of the Mühlviertel provide the ideal setting to support and deepen this transformative process.

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. Retreat and find peace and quiet 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. 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.

Chanting mantras is often considered one of the highest forms of yoga - it combines breathing exercise and meditation, promotes the liberation of the heart and self-expression, and at the same time has a calming effect on the entire nervous system.

Singing strengthens physical and mental health, improves the immune system, intensifies breathing, has an emotionally relieving effect and helps to reduce stress - and it's simply fun! The calming effect of singing is even greater when we practice it together in a group.

In this retreat, you will join like-minded people on a special journey to your heart and to the sounds of your true self. Through a combination of physical yoga practice, mental clarity and spiritual fulfillment, you will have a transformative experience.

Look forward to:

By repeating protective mantras, we reprogram our cells with valuable frequencies and regulate our energy. This practice offers a unique opportunity to dissolve deep fears and blockages and to promote self-expression and spiritual growth.

Our experienced yoga teacher and mantra expert will lovingly guide you through these days of retreat with her voice, guitar and other instruments. We sing in Sanskrit, Gurmukhi, English and German to traditional and modern arrangements.

This retreat is suitable for yoga beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Chanting mantras is free from any pressure to perform and any expectations. It serves the development of devotion and the opening of the heart. "If you can breathe, you can sing!"

Singing opens a window to the heart and enables an expression of feelings - a joyful, touching and relieving experience. By singing together and connecting in the group, we also strengthen trust and confidence and thus find a connection to our inner world.
