Summary

And suddenly you know: it's time to start something new and trust in the magic of beginnings. New year, new luck—an ancient saying and powerful words then as now. Threshold crossings, such as the transition from the old to the new year, are always particularly powerful times when we are connected to special energies. Energies that propel us forward, give us momentum, and provide energy and confidence for all our plans and projects. What are your wishes and plans for a powerful and conscious start to the new year 2026, and how do you want to pursue them in a sustainable way?

Start the new year powerfully with us and a small, select group and focus your attention on what you really want to create. Recharge your batteries, find clarity, and experience how you can make your wishes and goals tangible. This retreat is for you if you want to grow and realign yourself—New beginnings 2026!

During this weekend, you will enjoy active and relaxing yoga sessions (Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin Yoga), powerful workshops, beautiful hikes with some elevation gain, meditation, finding peace and yourself, movement, and delicious full board (plus a few ideas for your kitchen at home). And you will spend four wonderful days for yourself and in a lovely group of like-minded people in a very special place in the French Vosges mountains. What is really important to you? What would you do if anything were possible? Sometimes all it takes is a little time, the right environment, and new inspiration to reconnect with ourselves. Our program of yoga, meditation, nature, rituals, personal development, self-awareness, and enjoyable experiences aims to give you new inspiration to start your wonderful new year 2026 feeling alive, powerful, and with a happy smile on your face. Enjoy four wonderfully relaxing days just for you
Our yoga retreat takes place in a lovingly restored seminar farm, a former farmhouse, in the middle of the French Vosges. A place that is both magical and powerful and guarantees absolute peace and quiet. Here you will be pampered with plenty of space and time for yourself, while at the same time enjoying a wonderful get-together in a small, select group. Our retreats are themed around the seasons. We practice yoga as often as possible and offer additional activities, such as (herbal) walks or meditation, in the great outdoors. In January, we usually stay in the yoga room or by the fireplace. But we'll definitely find time for a wonderful winter walk :-). A supporting program for body, mind, and soul – for well-being on all levels.

Catering

"Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life" – Mark Twain During our weekend together, we will spoil you with fresh, homemade vegetarian and vegan delicacies (brunch, dinner, snacks, and fruit for in between meals). Authenticity, seasonality, and regionality are very important to us. We mainly use organic regional products such as fruit, vegetables, herbs, cheese, and grains, preferably from local farms and small markets, to prepare our meals. It is also important to us that we eat together at a large table in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. We want to bring people together not only through yoga, meditation, and nature walks, but also by creating a community around good food. We are happy to cater to individual needs, e.g., due to allergies.

Both Tanja as a yoga teacher, who looks after us participants with great commitment and passion, and the seminar house were absolutely recommendable. I would love to come back :-)
