Yin Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat - Spring Awakening

Nature is beginning to glow with fresh greenery, your energy is slowly awakening from its winter slumber, and you feel like you really want to blossom now? Spring—it’s the time when nature comes back to life, when we start to become more active again, and perhaps even approach things in new and different ways. Most of the time, in order to start something new and move forward with fresh energy and renewed strength, we first need to let go of something old.

At our Yin Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat, you’ll find exactly that space: for retreat, relaxation, new inspiration, and a conscious connection with yourself.

You can look forward to three days of Yin Yoga, meditation, self-love rituals, and coaching insights. In between, there’s plenty of time set aside just for you—for long walks in nature, a good book, meaningful conversations, or simply the chance to do nothing at all.

Ayurveda is a special centerpiece of the retreat.
Anke Keller will give us insight into the world of Ayurveda and guide us through the weekend with her knowledge. And best of all: she’ll be cooking exclusively for our retreat group the entire time. With great care, she creates fresh, Ayurvedic spring dishes using regional and seasonal organic ingredients.
On Friday evening, a warm, nourishing dinner awaits us, helping us settle in and get in the right frame of mind for our weekend together. On Saturday morning, enjoy a lovingly prepared Ayurvedic breakfast featuring warm and seasonal items, such as sweet and/or savory porridge with freshly prepared fruit compote and bread with sweet and savory spreads. On Saturday afternoon, you can look forward to a light, simple snack. And on Saturday evening, the culinary highlight awaits you: a multi-course Ayurvedic meal that combines all six tastes and delights not only the palate but all the senses. On Sunday morning, the retreat comes to a close with a relaxed breakfast.

The energy of spring also guides us through our Yin Yoga practice. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring symbolizes new beginnings, growth, and renewal. The Wood element is associated with the liver and gallbladder meridians.

Through selected Yin Yoga poses, we connect with this energy, create space for movement and letting go, and invite the Qi—our life energy—to flow more freely once again.
Yin Yoga gives you the opportunity to slow down and become more mindful of what is present in the moment. You don’t have to perform, achieve anything, or go particularly deep into a pose.

You’re simply allowed to be present.
In your body. In your stillness. With yourself.

Meditations and self-love rituals support you in reconnecting with your own needs and treating yourself with kindness.

Perhaps for a weekend, you can let go—at least a little—of all the stories, expectations, and ideas that distance you from yourself.
And perhaps that’s exactly where something new will emerge: more trust, more ease, and a more loving connection—with yourself and with other women.
