Summary

FEEL STRENGTH. EXPERIENCE MOVEMENT. FIND PEACE. We, Barbara Baumann and Astrid Waldner, are sisters and warmly welcome you to our retreat! With in-depth knowledge of Pilates and yoga, we combine our experience with a shared philosophy: to consciously create space for mindfulness, balance, and regeneration in a fast-paced, performance-oriented society.

Enjoy late summer in the Salzburg region and treat yourself to a break at the Ritzenhof****S Hotel & Spa in Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer. Look forward to daily Pilates, yoga, and relaxation sessions, a variety of activities in nature, and delicious regional specialties.

The retreat is suitable for all Pilates and yoga levels, but also for participants with no previous experience. Based on Barbara Baumann's physiotherapy expertise, individual physical limitations are taken into account and specifically addressed in the exercise sessions. We look forward to welcoming you to the retreat! Barbara & Astrid
