Summary

Immerse yourself in the world of Yin Yoga and treat yourself to a mindful break from everyday life. Our retreats invite you to find peace, recharge your batteries, and connect with your inner self. In a quiet, natural environment, you will practice mindfully, gently, and deeply—supported by pillows, blankets, and meditative impulses. The positions in Yin Yoga are held longer to release tension, promote flexibility, and harmonize the flow of energy ✨. Each retreat has its own focus and offers you special experiences: In January, Yin Yoga & Bhakti (January 9–11) 🎵 opens the year with gentle sequences and heart-opening music. Things get more intense at the Bhakti Yoga Retreat (January 25–30) 🎶 with sound, mantra, and meditation in a whole week of spiritual depth. Yin Yoga & Mantra (February 6–8) 🕉 combines meditative practice with healing sounds for deep relaxation. In March, Yin Yoga – Mindfulness & Letting Go (March 20–22) 🌸 invites you to find inner peace. This is followed by Yin Yoga – Activate Your Core System (March 27–29) 🔥 with a focus on gentle strength and inner stability.

In April, Stress Adé mit Yin Yoga (April 17–19) 😌 helps with mindful stress reduction and nervous system regulation. Yin Yoga Retreat (April 30–May 3) 🌿 offers you four days of space for yourself, for grounding and regeneration. In June, Yin Yoga & Breathwalk (June 4–7) 🌬 combines gentle movement with breathing and experiencing nature. Yin Yoga & Fascia Training (July 5–10) 🌀 brings new vitality through the interplay of deep stretching and active fascia training.

In summer, the Yin meets Vinyasa retreat (July 24–26) 🌊 combines flowing movement and deep silence – ideal for balancing activity and regeneration. The retreat concludes with Vinyasa & Yin (September 4–6) ☯️, which offers a weekend of dynamism and letting go.

Whether you long for intensive asana practice, mental calm, or deep silence, each retreat opens a path to serenity, inner strength, and clarity. Treat yourself to a weekend or a whole week of conscious time out – and find your way back to yourself.

Catering

Every day at lunchtime and in the evening, you can enjoy hearty meals – a vegan, organic wholefood buffet. If you like to eat breakfast, fruit is available at the buffet from 8 a.m., as a snack after meditation, or for a quick bite between meals. Tea and water are available throughout the day.

We only use fresh, organic ingredients in our dishes. We place great importance on seasonal, sustainable products and support local farmers and partners. Fresh salads, cucumber, carrots, beetroot, and two different dressings are the main components of our buffet. For those who prefer warm food, steamed vegetable platters of broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, and fennel, as well as curries, dal, and soups, are a great alternative to the green raw food bar. In addition, there is always a selection of good oils, grains, and seeds. Bread or gluten-free alternatives and homemade vegan spreads are available for brunch.

Information for allergy sufferers All our dishes are homemade and 100% organic. If you have any questions about allergens, there is a list with information for allergy sufferers at the buffet. The dishes are then labeled according to the list.

Arrival

The Yoga Vidya seminar house is idyllically located on the edge of the old spa town of Bad Meinberg. The location is quiet and central at the same time. Therefore, it is easily accessible by train or car. Larger cities in the vicinity include Paderborn (27 km away), Bielefeld (35 km away), and Hanover (100 km away).

If traveling by train, we recommend choosing the Horn-Bad Meinberg station as your destination, which is approximately 5 km from Yoga Vidya. Yoga Vidya Bad Meinberg offers a free shuttle service to the seminar house, which picks you up from the train station in Horn-Bad Meinberg between 8:30 a.m. and 7:15 p.m.
