What is a “private retreat”?

Private retreats are custome made retreats. The dates, length, program, number of people, place and costs depend on what you like to have.

Who are private retreats for?

Private retreats can be booked for example for couples, a group of friends, a family, companies (e.g. a team you like to do a workation, training with or you like to treat), even for a single person.

Do you need to have yoga experience to be able to join retreats?

No, you don’t. Anyone can join, wether you are a total beginner (I love beginners mindsets) or a professional yogi. The yoga sessions and workshops are designed to include any level and experience and there is always enough spasce to find your own flow and feel great. I include a lot of my own approach and teachings, which offers learning opportunities and great experiences for everyone.

Do the retreats include personal travel insurances?

No. I highly recommend everyone to get their own travel insurance, because you never know what happens and there is always a possibility for you to not be able to make it. The retreats are not fully refundable, and 2 weeks before the start of the retreats not refundable at all. So to be on the safe side and stress free, I recommend you to have your own insurance. I have one as well!

Do I need to prepare myself for the retreats?

Not really. If you are looking forward to it, this is a great preparation!

What do I have to bring to the retreats?

Comfortable clothes, that you feel good in and allow you to move well. Depending on the place and time of the year, it might also be good to bring a sweater and a pair of socks. especially when we are still in the spring or head towards the autumn time, it can be a bit colder in the mornings or evenings. Some people also just really enjoy to be cozy, especially when doing very gentle activities, such as slow classes or meditation sessions.

Also, depending on the location of the retreat, I can recommend to pack sunscreen, mosquito spray, and swim wear, incase you like to jump into the pool or ocean.

If you like, you can bring your own yoga mat, but depending on the size of the group, I might be able to provide mats.

Are travel expenses included?

Flights and airport trasnfers are not included.

Only the transfer expenses during the retreat for activities that are part of the program, e.g. to go to sights or the wine tastings. I can always arrange for you an airport or city to retreat place transfer, but it is not included, as people arrive from different parts of the world at different times.

What kind of food do you serve?

For private retreats, this is up to you. I recommend vegetarian and vegan friendly food, as this is often lighter and supports movement and mindfulness practices. But in any case, I will ask for any dietary preferences and allergies before any retreat, so we can accomodate everyone, wether you have celiac disease, a lactose intolerance, religious dietary restrictions etc.

What is your language for the yoga, meditation & movement sessions?

The sessions will mostly be lead in English, as the group is international. Obviously I can always translate parts into German, my mother tongue.
