Your individual retreat - yoga, your path to inner peace

Are you looking for a break with a comprehensive yoga program?
In Europe's largest ashram you will find a great program for your retreat.

This retreat is also suitable for yoga beginners, as you can put together a program to suit your needs.
Twice a day yoga classes for beginners, intermediate or advanced students.
Alternating with special shamanic, mantra and sound yoga classes and much more.
Our individual guest support will help you to put together your own individual program. So you can find just the right thing, adapt it to your daily form or be inspired by something new.

Every morning and every evening there is the opportunity to take part in a satsang (sat = truth, sanga = community), we meet in the community to meditate together, sing mantras, listen to spiritual teachings and celebrate the Arati light ceremony. This is how you experience our community and recharge yourself with positive energy.

You can also enrich your day individually with guided excursions into nature, dream journeys, meditations, rituals and recitations.

Usually several times a day, you can be inspired by lectures or deepen your knowledge on the following topics:
- Yoga & Meditation

- Indian scriptures
- and much more
