Time-out retreat Hamburg weekend - wellness yoga, meditation, self-development

Time out for me
Yoga retreat weekend Hamburg
Location directly on the Alster

We use the effectiveness of meditation and yoga to create deep stillness, more peace, spaciousness and openness in our body and mind. We connect with our soul, our inner nature and look at what is happening right now. What needs more attention and what can go.

Together we calm our mind (monkey mind), allow peace to return, strengthen our life energy and come into our power. We activate the chakras (energy channels) with breathing exercises (pranayama) and flowing hatha and vinyasa yoga flows (asanas). We release tension in the neck and pain in the back and mobilize the hips for your well-being.

Combined with yin yoga, yoga nidra, relaxation techniques, introspection and journaling, you will feel clearer and stronger by the end of the retreat. You will feel much more rested.

In addition, I offer an optional walking meditation by the canal. During the break, enjoy walks along the Alster and conversations to share the inner process if you like.

I am happy to accompany you on your path and support you in your process.
Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners.

Discover Hamburg
A quick getaway? Hamburg, the city of nature, impresses with its abundance of water. Whether the Elbe, the Alster or the hundreds of canals that run through the entire city. The extensive green spaces and parks with old trees invite you to take quiet walks and linger. Hamburg offers a variety of interesting sights, delightful restaurants and stylish cafés in the various neighborhoods, each with its own unique charm. Visitors can expect a wide variety of activities, such as outdoor activities, gourmet delights, lifestyle inspirations, exhibition highlights, trend shopping and much more.
The retreat takes place in the Uhlenhorst district, directly on the Alster and the Eilbek Canal. The trendy districts of Winterhude and St. George, where there are numerous hotels and guesthouses as well as the architecturally impressive central station, are within walking distance.
