Vinyasa Yoga & Mental Strength: Letting Go of Stress, Finding Balance

Ziehen Sie sich zurück in das Mountain Retreat Center in der Chiemgauer Bergwelt. Das Retreat Center hat 20 Zimmer mit Ausblick in die beeindruckende Naturlandschaft der Alpen. Da kann es schon passieren, dass man aus dem Nichts ins Staunen kommt. Immer wieder aufs Neue. Jedes unserer Zimmer ist für sich ein Rückzugsort der besonderen Art. Klein, fein, gemütlich.

All meals at the Mountain Retreat Center are vegetarian and vegan. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day—at least according to the Chinese. That’s why we place special emphasis on a good, healthy breakfast—always featuring warm porridge. For lunch, you’ll enjoy soup, bread, and spreads, and in the evening, you’ll be treated to a delicious buffet featuring salad, creative vegetarian and vegan main courses, and dessert. Everything is freshly prepared and, whenever possible, made with seasonal ingredients. We can accommodate food intolerances with advance notice.

This retreat week is designed for anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves and strengthen their inner balance. The focus is on the connection between life energy and the autonomic nervous system—an interplay that has a decisive influence on our stress tolerance, sleep quality, and overall well-being.

The morning begins dynamically: With an energizing Vinyasa Flow, accompanied by mindful breathing (Pranayama) and a silent meditation, you create space for energy and clarity. Each session aims to promote the natural circulation of your life energy (Prana) and release imbalances.

Over the course of the week, we will explore the five Vayus—the internal channels of Prana, our life energy. Yoga philosophy becomes practical and physically tangible. You will discover how these energetic currents manifest in the body, what their functions are, and how they can be strengthened through selected asanas, breathing exercises, and mindfulness in daily life.

In the afternoon, gentle Vinyasa sessions, restorative Yin Yoga, or Yoga Nidra support the integration of the day’s experiences. There is plenty of time for walks in nature, rest periods, or a visit to the Swiss stone pine sauna with a view of the mountains. Group discussions, the soothing environment, and the delicious vegetarian-vegan cuisine round out the days.

Look forward to:
- Morning practice with Vinyasa Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation
- Gentle afternoon sessions (Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, gentle flow)
- Theoretical insights & reflection on life energy and the Vayus
- Free time for experiencing nature, sauna & rest
