Summary

Yoga and nutrition: a little time out that can make a big difference.

Do you often feel stressed, overwhelmed and burnt out? Does your diet fall by the wayside in everyday life? Time to press the reset button! In our 3-day yoga and meditation retreat, we combine the holistic power of yoga with the detoxifying effect of a vegan-based diet.

With regenerating yoga sessions, practical workshops and delicious, vegan-based meals, we help you to regenerate and gain new strength from yourself.

We practise Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Yin Yoga and Sukshma Vyayama. Yoga deals with the human being as a whole and consists of physical and breathing exercises as well as meditation. Heart Chakra Meditation is a combination of movement to meditative music followed by a period of rest.

Our retreat offers you the opportunity to return to everyday life strengthened and full of clarity. This retreat is perfect for anyone who wants to bring their life back into a new, healthy balance, both physically and mentally. In this retreat, we combine holistic yoga sessions, workshops and talks, nutrition topics and space for yourself.

Accommodation

Waldbreitbach Monastery

On the edge of the Westerwald, barely an hour's drive from the vibrant Rhine-Main (Frankfurt) and Rhine-Ruhr (Cologne) centers, the Rosa Flesch Conference Center offers an exceptional setting for the fasting seminar. High above the Wiedtal valley, against a monastic backdrop, this house breathes Franciscan spirit. Here you can recharge your batteries to meet the demands of everyday life. The village of Waldbreitbach offers various leisure activities and, with its idyllic location in the Wiedtal valley, is known as a place for excursions and as a Christmas destination because of its nativity scene exhibition and Advent illuminations.

Catering

- 2x vegan-based buffet (daily) incl. drinks.
- Intermittent fasting also possible, see our fasting methods:

Detox 16:8 Intermittent vegan alkaline refers to a dietary detox diet in which proteins are almost completely avoided. Only foods that are predominantly alkaline are eaten. In this vegan alkaline detox diet, the body does not completely switch to a fasting metabolism. Instead, the body undergoes a deacidification treatment that has a positive effect on well-being and health.

We follow the 16:8 detox interval concept, which involves taking a break from eating for at least 16 hours. This triggers autophagy, the body's own waste removal process. Autophagy (eating oneself) is currently the best scientifically proven detox method. The detoxification process takes place directly in the cells. We start in the morning with tea and from 11 a.m. we have home-made alkaline porridge and fruit and/or vegetables and salads. In the evening, a meal of soup, vegetables, potatoes, dips and/or alkaline bread is planned for 6 pm.
