Yoga & Explore 2019

21.12.19 – 02.01.20, India

You are sitting with closed eyes, enjoying the cold air. You are concentrating on your breath and you are feeling, how the sun’s rays slowly warm your face. You are blinking with your eyes and recognizing the outline of a large building. You can feel how special this place is. You are opening your eyes completely and the Taj Mahal – one of the 7 wonders of the world – shines in front of you in all its dignity. You are noticing how you have gained strength through the meditation that just passed and you are feeling ready to start the new day. You are getting up and take in the environment around you. The exotic smells, the sounds. It’s Christmas and your adventure in India begins…

Yoga & Explore
– 2 weeks just for you, your wanderlust and your health

Watch our video insights from Yoga & Explore 2019

Join our journey into an exotic country including a relaxing Yoga Retreat. Get to know the traditional yoga in its country of origin, escape the stress of Christmas at home and enjoy time just for you. Do something good for yourself and your health and don’t worry if English isn’t your mother tongue – a multilingual team (English / German / Hindi) will accompany you from the moment you arrive in Delhi at the airport until the end of the program. You do not have to worry about anything, you can completely immerse yourself in this fantastic, colorful country. If you want to get inspired, watch this video on our Facebook page.

We stay in a basic accommodation, so that we can focus on ourselves and the retreat.
