Sometimes you need more than just a break—you need to take a deep breath. Treat yourself to an inspiring yoga weekend at the Bonifatiuskloster Hünfeld, nestled in the beautiful, idyllic countryside of the Rhön. Here you’ll find invigorating and calming yoga sessions (Hatha and Yin Yoga), meditation, breathing exercises, sound journeys, deep relaxation, Yoga Nidra, and forest bathing in the tranquility of the Rhön.
Between sessions, the time is all yours: enjoy some solitude, read a book, take a walk through the sprawling monastery grounds or along the nearby Haselsee—or have inspiring conversations with like-minded people. In this way, you’ll promote your physical health, gain mental clarity, and find inner calm and peace.
At the end of the weekend, you’ll return to your everyday life feeling strengthened, refreshed, and realigned.
This weekend is suitable for yoga beginners as well as long-time practitioners and experienced yogis who wish to expand and deepen their practice and experience. Experienced yoga teacher Claudia Jörg will guide you through the weekend with this holistic program. Let yourself be surprised!
