Yoga & Soul Motion in the Chiemgau mountains

At the Mountain Retreat Center, surrounded by the silence and vastness of the Chiemgau mountains, a space opens up for new perspectives. Yoga and free dance combine to create a journey that takes you from thinking to feeling - in movement, in stillness, completely to yourself.

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.

The day begins with a calm, flowing yoga practice that gently activates, builds and balances. Whether on the mat in the light-flooded room or on the meadow with a view of the mountains - the practice is based on your rhythm and level of experience. The focus is on your personal Sankalpa - your own alignment, which accompanies you throughout the retreat.

After the final relaxation and a moment of silence, Soul Motion leads you into a new space of experience. This free, conscious dance is not about steps or forms - but about what wants to emerge from within you. Music in all its diversity accompanies the movement: sometimes gentle, sometimes powerful, always inspiring. Small impulses help you to approach your own expression with confidence. Everything is allowed here - playful, authentic, lively.

Soul Motion - developed by Vincent Martínez-Grieco - thrives on pausing, being present in the moment, consciously perceiving space and listening to impulses. It is an invitation to dance your head free, to encounter yourself in a new way - powerful, soft and completely genuine.
