Summary

Are you looking for a break with a rich program centered around yoga? At Europe's largest ashram, you will find a wide range of options for your personal retreat. Our program is also suitable for yoga beginners, as you can tailor your program to your individual needs and how you feel each day.

This allows you to experience our community and recharge your batteries with positive energy.

This was my first time and I am totally thrilled! So many nice people in one place I have never met, the courses were super interesting, the food was delicious! Even if I wanted to, I could not find any disadvantages! I completely relaxed mentally and physically, I am infinitely grateful! I had had zero experience with yoga and still felt very safe and comfortable 😌Would highly recommend this and I will definitely visit this magical place again! Om 🥰

My fifteen-year-old son participated in the retreat alone. He returned fulfilled and had only words of praise for the time during the week-long stay.
