Self-Care Days: Yoga & the Magic of Herbs

Der 800 Jahre alte Vierkanthof in Alleinlage mit Blick über die Hügellandschaft des Mühlviertels bietet die ideale Atmosphäre für eine nachhaltige Auszeit. Neues ausprobieren, den Kopf frei bekommen und Impulse für Veränderung spüren. Rückzug und Ruhe finden Sie am Naturbadeteich, in den Wäldern und in der Weite der sanft-hügeligen Landschaft. Genießen Sie Momente der Entspannung in der nach Zirbenholz duftenden Sauna und abends in gemütlicher Runde rund um die Feuerschale.

At the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center, you can enjoy modern vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Start your day with a heartwarming breakfast featuring breads, jams, cheese, freshly made porridge, fruit, a variety of milk options, yogurt, fruit juices, spreads, coffee, and a selection of teas. At 2:00 p.m., we serve a light lunch featuring a warming soup along with spreads served with bread or pastries.

This retreat invites you to consciously set aside time for yourself and find new inspiration in the midst of nature. At the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center, surrounded by forests, meadows, and sweeping views of the Mühlviertel’s rolling hills, you’ll find space to slow down, recharge, and engage in mindful self-reflection.

Each day begins with an invigorating and dynamic yoga practice in the Anusara Yoga style. Flowing sequences provide new energy, strengthen the body, and help you start the day feeling alert and present. Breathing exercises and meditation accompany the practice, fostering inner peace and mindful awareness.

As the retreat progresses, you’ll immerse yourself in the fascinating world of medicinal plants and local herbs. You’ll learn about traditional herbalism, discover the versatile uses of essential oils, and explore how scents, plants, and the power of nature can support your well-being. Especially during the warmer months, the surrounding nature reveals its full power—fragrant meadows, quiet forest trails, and the crisp air turn every encounter with nature into a sensory experience.

Another highlight is forest bathing: a mindful, unhurried immersion in nature. Amid tall trees, birdsong, and rustling leaves, a soothing calm emerges that nourishes both body and mind.

In the evening, the yoga practice becomes calmer and more restorative. Gentle stretches, relaxing poses, and moments of silence help you consciously wind down at the end of the day.

In between, there’s plenty of time to pause and reflect—by the natural swimming pond, on walks through the surrounding forests, or in the cozy atmosphere of the farm. Culinary delights include the Kleebauer Hof’s vegetarian and vegan cuisine, featuring creative, plant-based dishes that harmoniously combine indulgence and lightness.
