I really enjoyed the time out at the monastery and took away quite a bit of input.

Summary
Find Your Inner Balance Through Yoga, Mindfulness, and Meditation
Say goodbye to everything in your life that doesn’t serve you and immerse yourself in the lightness of being, focusing on what truly matters. This weekend, consciously treat yourself to a little time off.
This seminar has been reviewed and certified by health insurance providers and is subsidized by most statutory health insurance plans (GKV) at a rate of 75€–100%! Accommodation and meal costs are excluded from this subsidy. You can find more information on my website.
You’ll be in a safe space with like-minded people and can simply be yourself—often, deep conversations and new friendships develop here. This monastery is a place of peace and simplicity. The food is prepared with love and warms your heart.
With loving presence, we’ll approach the wholeness of our experience. Unpleasant feelings or resistance—even difficult situations—are part of life, but over time they lead to tension and stress, and thus to imbalance. Through mindfulness, relaxation, Slow & Yin Yoga, Feldenkrais, breathing techniques, and balance exercises, you’ll dive deep into your inner self. Hatha Yoga helps mobilize your body and restore it to a harmonious balance. You’ll stretch, breathe, slow down, and enjoy—with Yin Yoga, massage, guided imagery, and sound elements.
The well-tended garden on the grounds of the Nikolauskloster provides an oasis of reflection and regeneration. In this beautiful setting and during my yoga classes, you’ll immerse yourself in the profound experience of all that is. Relaxation will gradually set in, and your body will finally be able to regenerate, refresh, and recharge. Replenish your resources and return to your daily life feeling stable and balanced from within.
Tailored to the group’s needs, I will design the sessions so that even
yoga beginners can get off to a good start and advanced practitioners can deepen their practice.
I look forward to your registration!

Our course instructor addressed the circumstances (Temp. 35 degrees) and our needs. Ms. Oppermann is very friendly, has a pleasant voice, and offers a varied program. I was able to relax wonderfully! The mattress was not too hard for me. The communal showers and toilets are clean. The food is very delicious, and the garden has many beautiful corners. A big thank you to the volunteers of the 5 monks.

Thank you very much to Christine for the beautiful, relaxing, and very interesting weekend. I would love to come back. The schedule was really well organized, the variety of yoga offerings (even outdoors) was impressive, and I really liked the monastery with the garden and the food. Highly recommend!!!!

The offer was great - relaxing and very beneficial. The content was perfectly coordinated. The catering at the monastery is very good. What is very unfortunate is that the mattresses are so hard that I slept very poorly and woke up tense and in pain. Very unfortunate.
