"Would you like to fly?" Acro Yoga New Year's Eve Retreat at the Lehmhaus in Wendland 2026/27

Die Hirtenkate Wulfsahl ist ein liebevoll restauriertes Fachwerkhaus im Biosphärenreservat Elbtalaue – in Handarbeit aufgebaut mit altem Lehmbau-Wissen und modernem Gespür für Wohnqualität. Lehm und Holz überall, ein natürlich reguliertes Raumklima, heimelige Zimmer und eine großzügige Küche sorgen für eine Wärme, die man spürt, sobald man die Türschwelle übertritt. Dazu ein weitläufiger Außenbereich mit alter Baumbestand, Feuerstelle und direkter Nähe zur Elbe – ein Ort, der ankommen lässt.

We use certified organic ingredients from the region (whenever possible).

Morning: In the morning, we serve fresh, homemade rolls and porridge—with all the trimmings. You’ll find a generously set breakfast table in the dining room, which, thankfully, can be stocked by the kitchen through a serving hatch.

Lunch: At lunchtime, everyone is free to go to the refrigerators and quickly cook something, reheat a meal, snack on vegetables or fruit, or make a sandwich.

Evening: In the evening, small, rotating groups prepare hearty, vegetarian meals—with vegan options available upon request.

Drinks: All kinds of drinks are available: tea, coffee, juices, etc. Together, we enjoy an alcohol-free time.

Five to six hours of practice a day—structured, but with room to breathe.

The morning begins with an optional guided meditation. After breakfast together, the first session begins: three hours of Acro Yoga, tailored to the group’s level, with relaxation at the end. Lunchtime is yours—take a walk along the dike, nap, or just do nothing.

In the afternoon, the second session follows: Acro Yoga again, then YUA® or Thai massage, concluding with meditation. After dinner together, the evening is open—campfire, movie on the big screen, games, conversations, or simply silence.

A sample day:

Morning (7:15–7:45)
Whatever you prefer: join the 30-minute guided meditation, start preparing breakfast, enjoy your first cup of coffee, or just sleep in.

Breakfast (8:00–10:30)
Everyone meets in the kitchen to prepare breakfast (oatmeal, rolls, homemade smoothies…), then we enjoy a hearty breakfast together.

Class Session I (10:30–1:30 p.m.)
The first guided Acro Yoga session of the day. Never done this before? Great—you’re more than welcome. But even if you have up to 3 years of experience, you’ll find something new here. Fly and carry someone, fall (but gently & safely), laugh, and experience a sense of community.

Lunch Break (1:30 PM–4:00 PM)
Have a bite to eat, relax, take a walk along the dike or down to the Elbe, take a nap, or do whatever makes you feel good. If you’re not done yet, you’re of course welcome to keep jamming in the Acro Yoga room (= practicing freely with others).

Class Session II (4:00–6:00 p.m.)
The second session is tailored to the group’s prevailing mood and ranges from high-energy fun (Acro Yoga) to calm and gentle (YUA® or Thai massage) to quiet (meditation).

Dinner (6:00 PM–8:30 PM)
A small, rotating group meets in the kitchen to prepare dinner. Others rest, go for a walk, or just do nothing. We all gather around the large table for dinner, and this is often when we share the highlights of the day.

Evening (starting at 8:30 p.m.)
Anyone who’s interested can join us for a movie night upstairs under the roof (projector and screen)—we choose the movie together. Those who’d like to can jam for a while, meditate, or gather around a cozy campfire outside.

You’re responsible for arranging your own travel to and from the event. However, the group is usually very interested in advance in who’s traveling from where and how; one person or another might ask for a ride, and so—as if by magic—a group effort to coordinate travel emerges.
Check-in on the first day is from 2:00 p.m., and check-out on the last day is by 12:00 p.m.
