New Year's Yoga Retreat – Letting Go & Starting Fresh

Ziehen Sie sich zurück in das Mountain Retreat Center in der Chiemgauer Bergwelt. Das Retreat Center hat 20 Zimmer mit Ausblick in die beeindruckende Naturlandschaft der Alpen. Da kann es schon passieren, dass man aus dem Nichts ins Staunen kommt. Immer wieder aufs Neue. Jedes unserer Zimmer ist für sich ein Rückzugsort der besonderen Art. Klein, fein, gemütlich.

Full board at the Mountain Retreat Center is vegetarian and vegan. The most important meal of the day—at least according to the Chinese—is breakfast. That’s why we, too, place special emphasis on a good, healthy breakfast—always including warm porridge. For lunch, you’ll enjoy soup, bread, and spreads, and in the evening, you’ll be treated to a delicious buffet featuring salad, creative vegetarian and vegan main courses, and dessert. Everything is freshly prepared and, whenever possible, made with seasonal ingredients. We can accommodate food intolerances with advance notice.

The start of the year is a perfect time to pause and reflect. Amid the demands of daily life and the expectations for the new year, we often lose sight of what truly matters. This retreat with Andrea Eul gives you the time and space to reconnect with yourself.

At the Mountain Retreat Center, nestled in the wintry mountain landscape of the Chiemgau region, yoga, meditation, and reflection exercises create a safe space for a mindful transition into the new year. The tranquility of the center, the view of the Chiemgau mountains, and the natural surroundings help you step back from your daily routine and turn your attention inward. The Swiss stone pine sauna invites you to wind down the day in relaxation, while vegetarian and vegan delicacies provide moments of soothing indulgence.

The process of letting go begins as soon as you arrive. Through journaling, reflective prompts, Yin Yoga, and meditations for inner clarity, you’ll honor the experiences of the past year and consciously let go of what no longer serves you.

Mornings begin with silence or meditation, followed by energizing breathing exercises and a dynamic yoga practice. This generates new energy for what lies ahead. In the afternoon, relaxing Yin Yoga sessions, mindful walks, deep relaxation, as well as meditations, sound journeys, or Yoga Nidra promote integration and regeneration.

The retreat is open to anyone who wants to start the new year mindfully—regardless of whether they have prior yoga experience or not. Step by step, you’ll gain greater clarity about your personal values, desires, and goals. From this inner alignment, trust can grow: trust in your own resources, in the next steps, and in what is allowed to unfold.

In keeping with the motto:
“Let go of what was. Trust in what is to come. Open yourself to what is allowed to become.”

What you’ll take away:
- Greater inner clarity for personal decisions
- New energy and motivation for the coming year
- Tools for mindfulness and self-reflection in everyday life
- Confidence in your own inner direction and strength
