Chakra-Focused Hatha Yoga Retreat in the Austrian Alps

The retreat is anchored by daily Hatha Yoga classes that focus on aligning the body, deepening the breath, and connecting with the energy centers. Each day highlights different chakras, with tailored exercises designed to activate and balance them. You'll learn simple breathing techniques and meditation practices that gradually guide you into a meditative state. Between sessions, there's time for self-reflection, nature walks, or simply relaxing in the cozy atmosphere of the retreat house.

What makes this retreat stand out is the depth of the teaching. Elly Eisenbeutl has studied with a range of spiritual teachers, including the Dalai Lama, Amma, Mooji, and Sadhguru, and spent years immersed in tantric practices. Her approach is grounded and practical, meeting you where you are regardless of experience level. She also offers healing massage and leads bhajan singing circles during the retreat, adding a communal element to the week.

The location is a key part of the experience. The retreat house is a nearly 500-year-old building, tastefully renovated with modern comforts while keeping its historic charm. Set in the Tyrolean Alps, it's a peaceful haven surrounded by nature. You can hike directly from the property, visit mountain lakes, or enjoy the sauna after a day of practice. The nearest town, Nassereith, is just a short drive away, but the retreat itself feels far from the hustle of daily life.

Meals are vegetarian, made with fresh, local ingredients, and can be adapted for vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs. The food is simple and nourishing, designed to support your practice without weighing you down. The retreat also offers various add-ons like massages and other treatments, which are easy to book on-site.
