Summary

This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced yogis.

Find the perfect place here to bring your body, mind, and soul into harmony. A diverse range of yoga and meditation classes will help you choose the practice that best suits your individual needs.

Early in the morning—starting at 5:00 a.m.—you can immerse yourself in the special meditative atmosphere of the tranquil Shivalaya monastery grounds. This powerful place is open to you all day long, even outside of scheduled classes. You’ll find a meditation cave, rooms for your own practice, and a rooftop terrace with a view of the greenery—a place for deep silence and retreat.

In addition, we offer guided meditations using various techniques, as well as morning and afternoon yoga classes for all levels—from beginners to advanced. These include therapeutic yoga, back yoga, Yin Yoga, Mantra Yoga, and much more.

Our meditation program is complemented by daily rituals, recitations, and morning and evening satsangs featuring silent and guided meditation, kirtan, and inspiring talks.

The cuisine also supports you on your journey: look forward to a rich vegan buffet that harmonizes body and mind. A separate quiet room allows you to eat mindfully in silence.

For a more immersive experience, you can request a silence button at the reception or info point.

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.
