Summary

This retreat is for beginners and experienced yogis alike! We offer you the perfect place to bring your body, mind, and soul into harmony! Our extensive yoga and meditation program offers you the right practice for your individual needs.

Early in the morning, when the worldly atmosphere is bathed in wonderful tranquility, you can take this vibration into your meditation in our Shivalaya monastery area from 5:00 a.m. This place is available to you throughout the day, even outside of scheduled activities. Here you will also find a meditation cave and rooms for your individual practice, as well as a roof terrace with a view of the countryside – a place of deep silence and contemplation.

A healthy, balanced diet is an important key to harmonizing your system and supports deep meditation experiences.

I felt very comfortable in the shared room with the women, slept better than at home and really came to rest through yoga, meditation and good conversations. I regularly attended the satsangs (very inspiring and authentic speakers) and the yoga classes (I tried several, they were all competently and kindly led). I ate vegan food for the first time and will continue to do so at home because it was very good for me. I liked the fact that there is no exaggerated tendency towards perfection and that the people here are very honest. And behind everything you can feel the honest will to work towards a better world with the help of Buddhist philosophy and in harmony with the cosmos and nature. It's also nice that Gaia, spirituality and women's power have a place here. All the best, I'll be back, Heidrun

The offers on site were varied. The yoga classes were well organized with good teachers and the satsang was simply blissful! The food was also good, as it was vegan. I felt good, will go there again and it was hard to say goodbye.
