Pilates Bodymotion - body awareness with mindfulness in Chiemgau

Connecting mind and body in harmony - the outer posture is an expression of our inner attitude and leads to a more beautiful smile. Based on the concept of Pilates Bodymotion, regardless of age and physical condition, your program leader Susanna would like to support you during the days together in the beautiful Chiemgau to accompany your body and mind into a new attitude towards life with strength and grace. A variety of movements paired with precisely executed movements as well as mindfulness and respect for ourselves and others bring joy and radiance back into our charisma.

Retreat to the Mountain Retreat Center in the Chiemgau mountains. The Retreat Center has 20 rooms with views of the impressive natural landscape of the Alps. It can happen that you are amazed out of nowhere. Again and again. Each of our rooms is a special kind of retreat in its own right. Small, fine, cozy.

The 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 also attach particular importance to a good, healthy breakfast - always including warm porridge. For lunch you enjoy soup, bread and spreads, and in the evening you are treated to a delicious buffet with salad, creative vegetarian-vegan main courses and a dessert. Always freshly cooked and as seasonal as possible. Intolerances can be catered for by prior arrangement.

In this retreat you will learn Pilates according to the principles of the Pilates method: Our focus is on variety of movement, quality of movement and exactness in the execution of the movement. As a result, we recognize the difference this conscious experience makes and what it can change both internally and externally.
This program challenges your concentration and coordination through various breathing techniques and movement sequences - this creates a harmonious connection between body and mind.
Your program leader, Susanna Lyon, is a physiotherapist and her knowledge in this field is incorporated into the program so that physical limitations can be taken into consideration. Newcomers are just as welcome as people with Pilates experience.
