Yoga & Dance Retreat in the Mountains

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. The most important meal of the day—at least according to the Chinese—is breakfast. That’s why we, too, place special emphasis on a good, healthy breakfast—which always includes 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.

In our daily lives, we’re often caught up in our thoughts and just going through the motions. This retreat creates a conscious counterbalance: You’re invited to slow down, reconnect with your body more deeply, and discover what’s good for you.

The morning is dedicated to Hatha Yoga. Slow, deliberate movements, mindful breathing, and soothing postures help you start the day feeling awake and present. The practice can be vigorous, yet it always remains mindful, giving you time to reconnect with yourself.

During the quiet intervals, the focus isn’t on achieving anything. A stillness meditation invites you to notice your breath, let thoughts drift by, and simply do nothing for a moment. This creates space for inner expansiveness and new clarity.

In the evening, movement becomes a form of expression. In Dance Meditation, you follow your body’s impulses and let the music guide your movement. There are no set steps and no right or wrong. You don’t need to know how to dance. It’s about feeling your body, allowing movement to arise, and connecting with yourself in a direct and playful way.

Afterward, a gentle Yin Yoga practice guides you back into stillness. By holding the poses for longer periods, the body can release tension and the nervous system can settle down. The alternation between free movement and deep relaxation creates a soothing balance between vitality and stillness.

Time for Yourself:
Between sessions, we intentionally set aside time for retreat and rest. Enjoy the winter scenery around the Mountain Retreat Center, go for a walk, read, relax, or simply leave everyday life behind for a while. You decide for yourself what you need in the moment.

What you’ll take away from this journey:
- A deeper connection to your body: You’ll learn to be more aware of your body and pay closer attention to its signals.
- Greater inner peace: Yoga and meditation give you a break from everyday life and help you find calm.
- A new sense of lightness and joy in life: Through free movement and dance, you can let go, express yourself, and rediscover the playful nature of movement.
- New energy for your daily life: You’ll return home with fresh inspiration, greater body awareness, and time for yourself.

In the safe space of the Mountain Retreat Center, you can leave everyday life behind for a few days. Surrounded by wintry nature, tranquility, and a small group, you’ll enjoy a break where you don’t have to pretend to be anything or achieve anything.

A retreat for anyone longing for movement and stillness, for a sense of their body, and for inner expansiveness.
