Summary

COME BACK TO YOURSELF.

From the outside, it might look like a yoga weekend. A little exercise, relaxation, beautiful surroundings. But this weekend is more than that.
I invite you to reconnect with who you truly are. Beneath the daily grind. Beneath your thoughts. Beneath what you feel you have to be.

My retreat, “From the Outside to the Inside,” isn’t about becoming better. It’s about becoming more aware.
To feel what truly defines you. To honestly perceive what is present right now. How you treat yourself. Where you hold on. And where you may have longed for more ease and freedom for quite some time.
To arrive again. At yourself. To feel your true self. Or perhaps to truly connect with it for the first time.

I create a space where you don’t have to prove anything. Where you are allowed to be exactly as you are. And where, often, something emerges from that very state that cannot be manufactured: clarity. Connection. Authenticity. “I am back with myself.”

A weekend just for you—two days that show you that finding yourself doesn’t require a long vacation.

𝗪𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘁:
✦ Yoga & Meditation – tailored to your needs, profound and inspiring
✦ Mindfulness work – ego vs. self, inner patterns, trust, creativity
✦ Space for silence, sharing, and genuine connection
✦ Walks in the Palatinate Forest – the Way of St. James passes right by
✦ Lovingly prepared vegetarian meals
✦ Free time to breathe deeply, settle in, and simply be

𝗜𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗮.
My work doesn’t start with the perfect posture and doesn’t end at the yoga mat. I observe people very closely—where they stand, what moves them, what’s at play in the background. With this sensitivity, I guide you back to yourself through yoga, meditation, visualizations, and inner impulses: from functioning to feeling, from the outside to the inside, from the head to the heart, and into connection with yourself.

My guidance is inspiring and inviting. There is no right or wrong, no pressure. You are free to let yourself be carried, to be fully present in the moment, and to discover a loving way of treating yourself that fosters inner peace.

If you feel that it’s time to reconnect with yourself, then you’ve come to the right place. I look forward to meeting you! 💛

“The retreat was amazing again! The location, the mix of participants, the openness, the shared values. No one has to pretend to be someone else. Everyone is welcome just as they are and is allowed to be exactly that way. The atmosphere is indescribable. And then, of course, the yoga sessions—so much varied practice, all the insights, guidance, and inspiration. Everyone can feel how you live your dream with every fiber of your being and inspire everyone, so that we too can find our own path. I am very grateful to be a part of this and to have already experienced so much together with you. It makes me incredibly happy. Thank you ❤"
Annette G.

“Essential, sustainable, and indispensable to me! Diving deeply into topics, reconnecting with and discovering yourself anew, in a professionally and very empathetically led retreat. You have this perfect combination of theory and practice—consciousness work on all levels. A great group in a wonderful, safe environment. I’m looking forward to next year!”
Stephie K.

“Every time, it’s a wonderful break from everyday life, a return to what truly matters, and a valuable exchange with amazing people. It’s just always great to practice with you. I love your way of guiding—it’s so pure and, in its simplicity, truly masterful—but also your wisdom and empathy, free from any dogmatism. THANK YOU!!!”
Dörte B.

Burghof Stauf is a special retreat away from the hustle and bustle, beautifully situated on the Eisenberg in the heart of the Palatinate, where the Way of St. James also passes by. Perched high on a hill, it offers sweeping views and a light-filled seminar room that radiates peace and spaciousness.

Here you can arrive, take a deep breath, and recharge. Enjoy delicious, lovingly prepared vegetarian meals, mindful conversation, and small moments of silence.

The Burghof is not a place defined by its exterior; it emerges from within. Through the creative diversity of a vibrant multigenerational community. Through people who live mindfully, shape community, and make responsibility tangible.

This presence permeates the place. In the atmosphere, in our togetherness, in every detail. It creates the setting for you to find peace, center yourself, and fully arrive at your true self.

The cozy guesthouse, with just 15 rooms, offers a soothing, relaxed atmosphere. The 120 m² light-filled seminar room with wooden floors invites you to feel at ease, with sweeping views over the hills and the sunrise in the morning. Directly from the house, beautiful paths lead into nature in every season. Each room is unique, some with cozy sloping ceilings, others with nooks and crannies, some small and cozy, and others spacious with a view of the valley.
