Yoga & Pranayama im Chiemgau

Pranayama - the conscious control of the breath - is an essential part of yoga. Using special breathing techniques, we learn to control our vital energy in a targeted manner and find inner peace. This practice not only strengthens the breathing function, but also supports energetic balance and contributes to emotional equilibrium.

Retreat to the Mountain Retreat Center in the Chiemgau mountains. The Retreat Center has 20 rooms with views of the impressive natural landscape of the Alps. It can happen that you are amazed out of nowhere. Again and again. Each of our rooms is a special kind of retreat in its own right. Small, fine, cozy.

The Retreat Center has double rooms (mostly with separate beds) and single rooms - some with their own bathroom and toilet, some where you share a bathroom and toilet with other program participants, but all with a washbasin in the room.
Unlike in a hotel, our guests wear slippers, make sure that they feel comfortable in their rooms - rooms are cleaned on arrival and departure - and clear away their own dishes. To ensure that the Retreat Center is not only a place of relaxation for you, but also for the environment, we attach great importance to sustainability and use products from the region.

The Mountain Retreat Center is a member of VeggieHotels.

The full board at the Mountain Retreat Center is vegetarian and vegan. The most important meal of the day, at least according to the Chinese, is breakfast. That's why we also attach particular importance to a good, healthy breakfast - always including warm porridge. For lunch you enjoy soup, bread and spreads, and in the evening you are treated to a delicious buffet with salad, creative vegetarian-vegan main courses and a dessert. Always freshly cooked and as seasonal as possible. Intolerances can be catered for by prior arrangement.

Meditation opens up a quiet space beyond the stream of thoughts - a place of inner peace, clarity and self-awareness. Yoga, pranayama and meditation are closely linked and unfold their full effect when they work together. When you learn to consciously control your breath, you create the conditions for mental stillness and a deeper meditative experience.

During these days, you will familiarize yourself with various pranayama techniques - including alternate breathing (Nadi Shodhana), Kapalabhati and bee breathing (Bhramari). You will learn how you can use these effective exercises in your everyday life to regulate your breath, calm your mind and promote your physical and spiritual well-being.

The healing power of yoga is evident on a physical, mental and spiritual level. Yoga helps to relieve tension, reduce stress, improve flexibility and increase general well-being. When you concentrate on your breathing and calm down in meditation, you develop a deep connection to your inner nature. Yoga is much more than just bodywork - it is a journey to yourself, supported by self-love and acceptance. In the stillness of your breath, you will find peace and serenity that will accompany you in your everyday life.

Scope of the program:

2 hours of pranayama every day (except on the day of arrival and departure). In addition, we offer you the opportunity to take part in the 1.5-hour yoga sessions both in the morning and in the evening; one session each on the day of arrival and departure. These yoga sessions are designed so that both beginners and experienced yogis and yoginis can take part - no previous experience is required. You have the freedom to decide which session you would like to take part in, depending on your mood and needs.
