Slow down with yoga, yin and meditation

On this weekend at St. Nicholas Monastery, your mind can come to rest and a path to inner insight and clarity becomes visible.
In our fast-paced and noisy world, we no longer hear our inner voice, so we just function. Here at the Nikolauskloster you can be who you are, feel yourself completely for once without expectations being placed on you, without having to achieve anything. Strengthen your body and mind with gentle yoga.
Yoga, relaxation and mindfulness exercises support your encounter with yourself and others. Yin yoga, meditations and gentle stretches nourish your body and relax your mind, thoughts can come to rest and give you a unique feeling for life.
Meditations, shared meals and the exchange with like-minded people will help you just as much as the peace and quiet of the monastery as a place of retreat. Just as it is good for you. Everything can, nothing has to!
Decide on a journey to yourself.
I look forward to seeing you!
