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 wide range of options for your personal retreat.

Our offer is also suitable for yoga beginners, as you can put together your own individual program according to your needs and daily form.
Twice daily yoga classes for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. Alternating with
Mantra, sound, yin, therapeutic or shamanic yoga classes.

Every morning and every evening there is the opportunity to take part in a satsang (sat = truth, sanga = community); we meet 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 with guided excursions into nature, dream journeys, meditations, rituals, recitations and talks on topics such as
- Yoga & Meditation
- nature spirituality
- personal development
- Indian scriptures
- and much more
