Participant Testimonials:
Daniela:
The weekend was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. All I’ll say is that Hugo Yoga is something you have to experience for yourself. Knowledge combined with active yoga and sound journeys in an amazing setting.

Sigrid:
This yoga retreat was a wonderful experience. Yoga and mindfulness with amazing people. Fascinating sound journeys in a monastic setting.

Nina:
What makes this monastery retreat special is that it changes you in the long run. The combination of yoga, meditation, and relaxing sound journeys, paired with valuable insights into mindfulness and breathing exercises, is something everyone should experience. Plus, you get to meet wonderful and inspiring people. We’ll be back next year.

The instructor, Hugo Polz.
For many years, he was the managing director of a marketing agency and sought ways to recharge his energy, stay focused, and find relaxation at the same time. During this search, he discovered and fell in love with yoga. Today, he lives and works in both “worlds.” In one world, he is the managing director of a district sports association; in the other, he works as a yoga teacher, yoga instructor trainer, and stress management coach.
Yoga and meditation have become a major part of his life, not only on the mat but also in everyday life. For him, yoga is always a new journey of discovery. New encounters and exchanges with participants or teammates continually open new doors of inspiration. He founded Yoga-Coaches to practice yoga with many people and create magical moments—full of warmth.

Overall a great retreat. Hugo created a wonderful atmosphere and provided many good suggestions. Everything was without pressure, with a lot of mindfulness towards one's own body, simply a very successful break. I can absolutely recommend him and the monastery.
