Soul yoga, mindfulness, peace & relaxation in the monastery (Eifel)

It was wonderful, will do it again!

It was a very nice weekend. Brigitte guided us through the retreat with great humor. Everything was very well organized and the monastery is also highly recommended. I'll be back, no question about it... Thank you Brigitte 😘

It is a large house. The organization and the variety of courses were very good. The teachers were all very competent and explained the exercises clearly.

The location was very nice, the food was great and the room was good. The teacher organized it very nicely, although the participants' requirements were very different. She looked after us well with tea and I felt very well looked after.

Relaxing and touching yoga time-out in a wonderful location. Well organized and accompanied by Peggy & Carsten. The monastery with the option of 4-star accommodation really helped me to relax.

Great place, very nice dedicated management, good food, fabulous rooms!

The yoga days were very relaxing and very motivating for me. My friends were doing yoga for the first time and during the course of the sessions they also became positively attuned. Andrea did a great job explaining the sessions and did them very well. Andrea also has a very compassionate nature, which has reached each of us! Keep up the good work! Thank you very much for three great days! The monastery is fascinating and the guest rooms are really 4 stars! Simply beautiful! The food could be improved a little. There is still room for improvement. The presentation of the food still lacks a bit of ambience. When I compare the look of the rooms to the dining room, there is a big difference. It could also be made a little more comfortable. Nevertheless, we felt very comfortable and the monastery cast a spell over us!

The retreat took place in beautiful and "green" surroundings, the rooms were lovingly designed by the yoga teacher Brigitte. The individual elements were harmoniously put together, a mixture of different yoga styles, meditation, relaxation - with lots of humor and mindfulness. Brigitte knew how to implement her own authenticity well while always paying attention to the needs of the group. It was an all-round successful weekend!

The time-out was extremely intensive, inspiring (because I was able to get to know different relaxation techniques), very pleasant, lovingly and competently led.

Great different units, great course, wonderful ambience!

It was a great location, great food... but above all 2 great instructors who created a great atmosphere. I was able to get involved with new things and enjoy familiar ones.

The dining room was terribly loud, it wasn't good at all. During the yoga sessions I would have liked to have done some relaxation exercises (e.g. circling the hands, feet or simply shaking them out) and not just stretching or lying down.

I had a lovely time out at this special place, in a pleasant atmosphere and with a wonderful yoga teacher Simin. I will recommend the program to others. I would love to come back to Steinfeld!

It was my first yoga experience and I am thrilled. Everything was perfect :-) The yoga class, the accommodation, the food.... Perfect. I can only recommend this form of time out. 1000 Thanks!!!!!

Relaxing weekend with beautiful yoga exercises and meditations. The program was really very good. What I didn't like so much was that it was a group that already knew each other, so unfortunately I didn't make any connections.

Satisfied all round! Great yoga sessions, very pleasant group. Room and food a dream. The atmosphere of the old corridors is unique. Thanks to the very empathetic on-site support :-)

Everything was just right here. The location, the people, the food - it was great. The course was great and invites you to continue. We will definitely be back.

It was wonderful all round 🙏🙂👌👍❤

Nice course, relaxed as described, only the room in the monastery was a bit draughty. The trainer led the course very well. I would gladly come again.

The yoga weekend with Doris was very relaxing thanks to her empathetic manner and her pleasant voice. The exercises were easy to do even for beginners and were coordinated with the daily routine. She also explained what the exercises were for or against. The room was also cozy and beautifully designed by her. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to escape the stress of everyday life.

Less asana, but perfect instructions and mindfulness

My expectations were exceeded. Great people, qualified leader, simply a super weekend.

The retreat was exactly what I was looking for: a good mix of yoga, relaxation, talks, retreat and nature. The monastery is a beautiful place with a special atmosphere. The care and yoga guidance by Katja Neuner was incredibly warm and beneficial, the yoga sessions doable even for beginners with activating and relaxing sessions. The retreat is to be recommended without reservation and will not remain my last.

It was a very nice weekend. The group was great and the trainer was great. She responded to everyone. There was yoga and mindfulness exercises, a very good mixture to recover and relax. The atmosphere in the monastery was perfect for the weekend.

It was wonderful in this old monastery and the mix of meditation, mandra chanting, yoga and yin was fantastic!

Great yoga and meditation sessions designed by a great yoga teacher. Great ambience.

A wonderfully inspiring and fulfilling weekend - thank you, dear Astrid.

It was a wonderful weekend. Mindful, grounding, relaxing, energetic. Many thanks to Manu and the team of Vivere Vital.

Everything fit! An unforgettable, long yoga weekend, which can actually be traced at home in everyday life. Especially impressive was the atmosphere and the monastery mood. A wonderful group and the perfect seminar leader team. Program and schedule were very well organized. Informal, calm, grounded and incredibly moving, that's how I would summarize the days. 1000 thanks to Peggy & Carsten...you are great🤩

Wonderful days in beautiful surroundings.

The retreat more than met my expectations. I went back with such a clear mind, as I had not experienced for a very long time. Everyone was able to participate according to individual needs, and even for me as a yoga beginner it was doable.

It was a really great experience from start to finish and I am very enthusiastic from the bottom of my heart ❤️

All around relaxing and soothing yoga weekend with enough time for yourself.

Linda has created a place of tranquility with her friendly and approachable nature.

We had a very loving, great course leader. I left the weekend very refreshed and with many suggestions for future stress reduction. There is a calm and beautiful atmosphere in the monastery that immediately relaxes you. The food was also super varied and delicious. I will definitely come again sometime.

The yoga retreat was very good. Christine Oppermann has offered a very versatile program, from which I have taken a lot. Although I have very little yoga experience, I could do all the exercises well. The theoretical explanations were also very interesting. The participants/group was very nice and there were very good conversations. The monastery Steinfeld is of course also a very special place with a great atmosphere!

It was just great 💚

The weekend was just fantastic. Everything was just right: the ambience of the monastery, the course, the yoga teacher was great, the program, the food, simply everything. I will gladly repeat it next year and recommend it to others. The time out in the monastery, even if only briefly, has brought me a lot of energy.

I am not a yogini and not the esoteric type. I booked the retreat because the Steinfeld monastery is supposed to be so beautiful. I am now totally excited, sustainably relaxed and thank Simin from the bottom of my heart for the great extended weekend. I especially enjoyed your pleasant voice. The meditations were very beautiful. The group was almost without exception nice (I made two new friends), the location incredibly beautiful, the weather also perfect. The food was good, the separate room classy, the yoga room beautiful and well-scented and especially the morning meditation in the garden of silence magical. Small deduction points in the price, which is already a lot for 2.5 days...For this at least the yoga mats should have been provided. The simpler rooms at St. Benedict were clean, small and spartan, but it was enough. I would have wished with in between at least 1-2 h free time to go for a walk or drink a coffee in the monastery café in peace, the program was clearly too tight. All in all, I'm back at any time. I knew yoga from the gym and from wellness weekends (I've been to a few wellness hotels), but this mindfulness idea was really great. Thank you!

I had a very relaxing weekend and am surprised what an effort has been made to meet all. Always gladly again and greetings from Bonn

The accommodation and food were fantastic and the yoga exercises were also very well chosen. There was something for everyone.

Very relaxing program in very nice surroundings. A great group and good organization. All in all very successful.

It was a magical time with many great people. An insanely great atmosphere and energy in the monastery. A mega good organization and preparation! Peggy and Carsten super nice and competent! I am thrilled and will visit a retreat again as soon as I can. Namaste Bärbel
