Summary

We are staying in the beautiful Klappholttal valley in the north of the island of Sylt, on the edge of the nature reserve, where seals and seagulls say good night to each other. Far away from the hustle and bustle and luxury, we live in simple, comfortably furnished single, double, and multi-bed houses scattered throughout the academy's own dune area.
The wonderful salty sea air is ideal for practicing yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises). Christine and Simin accompany you through the day with gentle and energizing asanas (yoga sequences) and mindfulness exercises, allowing you to experience a deep and cleansing effect on your body and mind. Meditations, relaxation journeys, and walks along the beach allow you to leave everyday life behind and find your inner peace. We start the day with dynamic yoga sequences that anyone can practice and end it with deeply relaxing Yin Yoga, guided imagery, and mantra chanting. Weather permitting, we will also do the exercises on the beach. On two days, we will hike along the sea and let the wind and salty air blow around our noses.

The teachers made this retreat an experience. The week was full of yoga and a "good spirit". The food was excellent and the accommodation also matched this great week. Simple but with charm. The great weather rounded out the week. It does not get better than this 😊

We will practice gentle yoga in a small, intimate group, as well as meditation and mindfulness exercises. Christine and Simin will devote their loving attention to you, so even as a beginner, you need not worry that the exercises will overwhelm you.
The beautiful surroundings of Klappholttal, right by the sea, will inspire you and make the effects of yoga even more noticeable. Rediscover a wonderful body awareness and a light spirit. After this week, you will feel whole again and return to your everyday life feeling nourished and recharged with energy. Christine and Simin look forward to seeing you!
