A retreat for busy lives & full hearts - authentic, nurturing and deeply restorative. This weekend (friday afternoon – monday midday) is a reset for your nervous system. It is a wonderful invitation to unplug from work, screens, and demands — and reconnect with what is truly essential. To breathe, attune to the inner landscapes and explore the wild yet grounding container of stillness & movement.

Together we will commence three to four meditations a day — seated, walking, and sound-based — giving you a protected space to embody stillness and let the inherent wisdom come alive. In addition, gentle flow yoga, somatic movement, stress release sessions, kirtan & soundbath and massage-treatments are guiding you back into the body: regulating, nourishing, connecting.

Come as you are: curious, tired, alive, overwhelmed, strong or inspired. Reserve your spot — the group is intentionally kept small. Annette will be teaching in german.

Imagine snow crunching under your feet... the Leutasch valley opens wide in front of you — no noise, no mass tourism, just vast silence and crisp mountain air. Our retreat home is at Aufatmen, a family-run eco-hotel designed with care and soul. Maria and Wolfgang — the youngest hosts in the valley — have created a modern sanctuary that blends nature, tradition, and sustainable design. The rooms are scented with Zirbenwood, the yoga space is light-filled and spacious, and the bio panorama sauna offers expansive views of the snow-covered mountains.

Here, you can adventure or simply rest — both are welcome. The walking and hiking routes are well marked - so its easy to start an exploration tour through the sleepy valley or a climb up to the alpine huts. A guided snowshoe hike is optional and for all alpine skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, the Olympiaregion Seefeld and the Karwendel mountains are just around the corner.

You can expect in Naturhotel Aufatmen:

• Sophisticated spacious, bright and peaceful rooms & Chalets with regional Zirben-wood, en-suite bathrooms and private terrace
• Soft bed-linen, hairdryer and comfy bathrobes.
• Delicious, nourishing organic farm-to-table vegetarian meals (brunch & dinner)
• All day long refreshments like various infused-water, tea, coffee, cake & fruits
• A light-filled yoga shala with mountain views
• A cosy reading-relaxing room overlooking the crosscountry slopes
• Daily access to bio panorama sauna with impressive mountain views
• Daily Finnish & infrared sauna as well as massage treatments
• Optional natural ice plunge for the brave
• Winter hiking trails & snowshoe paths
• Cross-country ski trails

Each day is intentionally structured around three to four meditation sessions — in stillness (zazen), in movement (walking meditation), guided (embodied) and in sound (mantra chanting & singing bowls). All of them support you in stepping out of the mental loop and sinking deeper into presence. Gentle flow yoga and somatic practices accompany this process, inviting you to experience your body anew — as a space of intelligence, connection, and regulation.

New this year: On three mornings, we’ll enter half-days of intentional silence — no talking, no phones, just space to listen within. These quiet hours offer a deeper layer of reflection. You can spend them walking in nature, meditating, resting, or journaling. A gentle pause to hear what truly matters. This weekend is not about striving. It is about unfolding. Slowing down enough to hear your own rhythm again.

You will get:

• 3-4 meditation sessions daily — seated, walking, and sound-based — guiding you back into presence.
• Morning Yoga Flow & somatic movement to ground, release and reconnect with your body — not as performance, but as coming home.
• Afternoon sessions include Yoga Nidra, Mantra chanting & Kirtan, Singing Bowls soundbath, Nervous system support & stress release. Plus unfolding themes & surprise sessions

Everyone is welcome. All genders & ages. Come as you are. We want the real you - perhaps curious, strong, compassionate, vulnerable, excited, a bit rusty, tired or recovering from injury. Classes will be taught in german.
