Summary
Recharge and relax with yoga, meditation, relaxation techniques, transformative breathing, and slow jogging!
Immerse yourself in an intensive weekend free from the distractions of everyday life. Find peace, balance, and renewed strength. Get to know yourself and your body better. Find relaxation and release blockages through the power of your own breath.
Authentic and loving yoga classes with yoga teacher Franzi (founder of Yoga Lotusland Eckernförde): Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin Yoga for all levels, featuring asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), savasana (deep relaxation), meditation, and loving guidance and assists. The postures and exercises help you find and strengthen your connection to your inner self, and experience balance, calm, and clarity.
Transformative Breathing with Breathing Coach Irma:
Experiences and all the emotions associated with them are stored in the body, as is the way we breathe in these situations. For example, negative stress can lead to shortness of breath or tension in the body.
Transformative Breathing is a breathing technique that supports the processing of emotions on a physical level, mentally, and deep within the subconscious.
Experience what it’s like to use your full breathing capacity again.
Irma guides us on how to release physical tension in the body (jaw, abdomen, chest, back) as well as stress. Your breath becomes natural and open again, flowing in a relaxed pattern. This provides the body with more oxygen and energy, improves your physical condition, and allows (blocked) emotions to release.
Slow Jogging—gentle cardiovascular training that perfectly complements your yoga practice:
This special running technique is easy, healthy, and enjoyable, because the pace is tailored to your individual comfort zone. You take many small steps instead of large ones and run on the midfoot. Your posture is upright and relaxed, and your breathing flows naturally and freely. This way, you’ll feel great both during and after your run and will be motivated to run regularly.

It was a phenomenal weekend on the Schlei. Meditative walks in the morning as the sun rose over the Schlei. Very varied activities throughout the day, of course the focus on yoga, these sessions were also all different and therefore extremely varied. One of the highlights was yoga on the beach! Slow jogging was a new and exciting experience for me. The additional sessions on breathing, meditation and mantra chanting rounded off the program perfectly. Transformative breathing was a method I hadn't used before and I found it quite exhausting to do. I had to concentrate very hard, but it actually allowed me to bring things to light from my subconscious that I obviously still needed to "work on". Every day at brunch and dinner time, super delicious vegan food, lovingly prepared as a buffet. I will definitely be booking my next retreat weekend very soon!

A great weekend with two fantastic teachers who passed on their in-depth knowledge to the participants in a way that was easy to understand, with a lot of warmth, humor and perfect practical assistance. For me, it was a very harmonious atmosphere, both in terms of the premises and the wonderfully tasty, fresh, varied and nutritious food, as well as the very harmonious, open and appreciative community of participants. Conclusion: absolutely recommendable!!! 😀
