Summary

I invite you on a journey to a very special place: yourself. Enjoy yoga classes in beautiful natural surroundings, far away from stress and hectic everyday life. On group hikes, we will explore the picturesque Alpine foothills of the Allgäu region. The perfect break to unwind, recharge your batteries, and reconnect with yourself. In addition to the group program, there will also be time for you to enjoy your own individual leisure activities.

The Yoga & Hiking Retreat is ideal for you if you... ...want to leave your stressful everyday life behind and put yourself first for a few days. ...enjoy being in nature. ...attach great importance to delicious and healthy food.
...want to practice yoga and other holistic activities under professional guidance in a group and deepen your yoga practice. ...enjoy hiking in your free time but don't feel like planning routes and organizing everything yourself. ...want to spend unforgettable moments with yourself and others in beautiful natural surroundings. ...have basic yoga knowledge.

Retreat highlights: - Yoga with mountain views - Allgäu nature wellness - Hikes in picturesque surroundings - Delicious vegetarian/vegan organic meals Look forward to a varied retreat program with yoga (different styles/themes), hikes, daily inspiration/meditations, Qi Gong, sharing circles (welcome and closing circles), and a workshop (the content of the workshop will be based on the wishes of the group, e.g., breathing techniques, tapping acupressure with EFT, Gestalt workshop, relaxation, contact yoga, forest bathing, letting go/forgiveness ritual, (self) massage, mantra singing, etc.).

The yoga sessions take place in the seminar room or outside (weather permitting). Yoga & hiking level - You should have basic yoga knowledge for the retreat program. - The hikes are easy to moderately difficult. They mostly lead over nature trails or gravel, and in some places also on asphalt. Sneakers are sufficient for some of the selected routes, while trekking/hiking shoes are recommended for others. If you are unsure about the yoga or hiking level or have physical limitations, please contact me. About me: My name is Elke Ammon, I am a yoga teacher and Qi Gong trainer and I give Thai massages for women. For six years, I have been teaching with great passion and fascination for the positive effects of holistic methods in my hometown of Ulm, online, and around the world. In my classes, I place particular emphasis on a soothing, individualized execution of the exercises so that you can reconnect with yourself and increase your well-being—free from the pressure to perform and the demands that we usually already have enough of in our everyday lives.
I love creating a space with my "Yoga for Life" offerings where people can get to know and explore themselves better. Inspiring people with my own experiences to lead a fulfilling life has become a matter close to my heart on my journey.
The Allgäu region has been close to my heart since childhood, because the lovely hilly landscape with views of the Alps literally makes my heart sing. The coziness and tranquility that this region exudes has a directly calming effect and is balm for the soul – making it simply perfect for my yoga & hiking retreats.

If you have any questions, please contact me to arrange an informational call. I am also happy to offer you a trial yoga class upon request. I look forward to hearing from you!

Accommodation

The Quellhof Allgäu is located in a quiet spot in the beautiful Allgäu region and offers a magnificent view of the mountains. The hosts, Jeanette and Tonio, have been running the seminar house since 2020. Their aim is to ensure that their guests can relax in a family atmosphere and feel right at home. The interior of the Quellhof has its own unique dynamic. The house has been repeatedly extended and renovated, and the rooms are individually designed and functionally equipped – each with its own charm. You can book a single, twin/double, or shared room, or arrive in your own bus/camper. After you submit your request, I will send you a daily updated overview of the available rooms.

If you are traveling alone, you can book a single room or request ½ of a double room or a bed in a shared room/apartment. Whether the request for a shared room can be fulfilled depends on whether the room can be occupied by people of the same sex. If no roommate(s) can be found, the price for single occupancy will apply.

Price for 4 nights including meals, seminar fee, and visitor's tax: €288 per person in your own camper without electricity / €304 per person in your own camper with electricity from €356 per person in a shared room from €368 per person in a double room
from €384 per person in a single room Room reservations are made when registering for the retreat package; meals are automatically included in the registration fee. I will forward your booking to the Quellhof and am only acting in a coordinating role here. The terms and conditions of the seminar house therefore apply. Payment for accommodation and meals is made directly at the Quellhof.

A word of warning: the Quellhof is an old farmhouse, i.e. rustic, simple, noisy – and a place to feel at home, cozy and with a lot of soul.

Catering

We will be treated to delicious organic vegetarian and vegan food at the Quellhof. We are staying on a half-board plus basis: breakfast/brunch and dinner, plus fresh fruit, coffee, and tea are included.
The water comes from the self-managed spring on the hill behind the house and can be drunk directly from the tap without any problems. Meals at the Quellhof are automatically included in the price of your stay.
