Summary
Treat yourself to a mindful break and discover the power of silence. This intensive meditation retreat at the Yoga Vidya Ashram in Bad Meinberg invites you to deepen your practice, calm your mind, and gain new clarity. You can choose between three-day weekend retreats and six-day intensive retreats.
Extended periods of meditation, silence, yoga, pranayama, and deep relaxation create a safe space for mindfulness and spiritual growth. Mantra chanting, satsangs, rituals, and inspiring talks complement your practice and provide fresh inspiration. ✨
Your Day at the Ashram
The day begins early with meditation, mantra chanting, and spiritual reflections. Yoga classes with pranayama and deep relaxation help you prepare your body and mind for longer periods of meditation. Additional meditations and talks deepen your practice. In between, there’s time for rest, relaxation, and walks 🌿. In the evening, meditation and mantra chanting once again guide you collectively into stillness.
The special atmosphere of the ashram and the natural setting of the Teutoburg Forest help you let go of external distractions and turn your attention inward. The freshly prepared organic, vegan, whole-food cuisine provides a soothing complement to your retreat. 🥗
Prerequisites:
The intensive retreats are designed for participants with a solid foundation in Hatha Yoga, meditation, and yoga philosophy. You should be prepared to meditate for extended periods and to engage in intensive periods of silence. These retreats are not intended as an introduction to meditation.
