Germany · 3 days · From EUR 437 (indicative)
Each day has the same shape. Morning yoga covers breathing, movement and a short stillness practice, outdoors if the weather allows. Breakfast is the hotel's regional buffet. The middle of the day is unscheduled. Most people walk one of the forest trails from the hotel, swim in the natural lake, or book a massage. In the afternoon there is time for the sauna area, and then a second, slower yoga class with relaxation and meditation. Dinner is three vegetarian courses.
Class times are posted at reception each day and can change. Check the board when you arrive rather than planning around fixed hours. There is also an aerial yoga room with soft hammocks hung from the ceiling, where you can try inversions and deep stretches with the fabric carrying part of your weight. Ask at reception for those times as well.
The main difference from a typical studio retreat is everything else on site. There is a 140 m² sauna area with four different heat rooms, a wooden hot tub, a gym, a sculpture park and a natural lake right by the hotel. You don't need a car once you've arrived. In winter the hotel runs Wim Hof breathing workshops with ice bathing in the lake. Snow weekends add cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
The fixed-date events bring in named guests. Simone Kielwein teaches with the FeetUp® Trainer, singing bowls, gong and handpan. Heike Henschke runs a winter yang/yin weekend with Wim Hof breathing. Roman Richter teaches hatha, yin, pranayama and sound baths. Chrissi & Ulli from Relaxed Mind teach QiGong and yoga, and Nora Curcio leads a women's dance retreat.
The hotel is at Altenberger Str. 7 in Neuhermsdorf, a small village in the eastern Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) in Saxony. The area is quiet forest, meadows and streams with marked hiking trails, and you can cycle there too. It's reachable by car or train, and there's an EV charging point for drivers.
