Immerse yourself in the quiet depths of your inner world and discover a source of strength that can enrich your life in the long term. In a phase of conscious contemplation, you will learn to calm your mind, let go of thoughts and experience deep inner peace. Step by step, this creates more serenity, clarity and presence - a state that helps you to face life with stability and inner expansiveness 🌿.
You will be accompanied by an experienced spiritual teacher and yoga master whose presence will inspire, touch and encourage you to experience yourself in a new way. The mindful atmosphere of the Yoga Vidya Westerwald Ashram - a place of strength and stillness, far away from everyday life 🏞️ - will help you reconnect with your inner self. Depending on your focus and the time of year, you can choose from several retreats:
🔥 Rauhnächte-Retreat from 24-28.12.2025 - a journey through the magical threshold time between the years.
