Yoga Weekend Retreat in the Green Heart of Hamburg
Meditation, Pranayama & Yoga for Well-Being
During this short retreat, you’ll first experience how you become completely still—both inwardly and outwardly—as your breath becomes deep and free and your body relaxes deeply. In this stillness, you’ll tune into yourself to sense which aspects of your being currently need your attention—which ones can relax and which ones need strengthening.
Through relaxation, you’ll tap into your inner strength. Through meditation and reflection, you’ll identify energy drainers, free yourself from blockages and negative beliefs, and connect with your sources of strength. Gentle flows will get your energy moving again. By the end, you’ll feel more at ease, invigorated, and in better shape.
Give yourself time to simply be, to heal, and to center yourself.
Strengthened physically and mentally for your everyday challenges.
You are warmly welcome, just as you are.
Everything is allowed.
About Lela Akhavan
Founder of Lela Yoga Hamburg
Yoga Teacher (500 TTC, Yoga Alliance), Meditation Instructor,
Life/Business Coach (DBVC, IOBC), Stress/Emotion Coach (emTrace®).
Over 20 years ago, I discovered the benefits of yoga and meditation for myself. In India, Thailand, and Australia—where I lived for two years—I deepened my practice. I learned meditation, Buddhist teachings, and mindfulness techniques. In 2014, I completed my yoga training with the Swiss Ayur Yoga therapist Remo Rittiner. In addition to the healing Eastern method of yoga, I gained a solid Western understanding of human anatomy. Further in-depth training followed, such as Yogic Mindfulness with the living yoga legend A. G. Mohan, Personal Life Coaching, Anahata Yoga (Yoga Alliance), Tools for Transformation, and Hands On (BDY).
My mission: to guide people toward a sustainable, authentic, and self-determined life.
Location: Hamburg Art Nouveau
This yoga retreat takes place in a stunning Hamburg Art Nouveau building right on the Alster Lake. We practice in a room with ornate ceiling stucco, a beautiful old wooden floor, and polished sliding glass doors featuring lion heads.
Discover Hamburg
Need a quick getaway? Hamburg, the “city of nature,” impresses with its abundance of water—whether it’s the Elbe, the Alster, or the hundreds of canals that wind their way through the entire city. The expansive green spaces and parks with mature trees invite you to take peaceful walks and linger. Hamburg offers a variety of interesting sights, delightful restaurants, and stylish cafés in its diverse neighborhoods, each with its own unique charm. Visitors can look forward to a wide variety of activities, such as outdoor adventures, gourmet dining, lifestyle inspiration, exhibition highlights, trendy shopping, and much more.
The retreat takes place in the Uhlenhorst district, right on the Alster and the Eilbek Canal. Adjacent and within walking distance are the trendy neighborhoods of Winterhude and St. George, home to numerous hotels and guesthouses as well as the architecturally stunning main train station.

During the break, you can let your impressions sink in while taking a walk along the beautiful Alster across the way, or relax with a drink at the Alsterperle while enjoying the view across the water. There are many charming and delicious small, independent cafés nearby. I’d be happy to recommend some.
Your Daily Routine
Take some time for yourself, sink into deep relaxation, and become completely still. Connect with your inner self and listen to what your soul and heart desire. Recognize the blockages and limiting beliefs that distance you from yourself. Tap into your power, recharge your energy for your daily life, and reconnect with your new—or perhaps even existing—ideas.
The Goal
You’ll feel relaxed, find inner stillness, feel more energized, and experience increased well-being and optimism; you’ll embrace your beauty, both inside and out. You’ll feel a deep sense of peace.
