DAILY ROUTINE
Arrive on Sunday, October 20th, your travel day.
Our retreat begins Monday, October 21.
Morning yoga begins daily at 8:00-9:30a.m. Please arrive shortly before our start time to set up your props and get settled so we can begin on time. The practice includes Pranayama (breathwork), Asana (Functional Flow movement and postures) and Dhyana (meditation). We focus on stretching, alignment, strength, and stability, to prepare you for your day of adventures in and around Schloss Elmau.
Every evening from 4:00-5:30p.m. we meet again for an evening practice of Yin & Restorative Yoga. This will be a quieter practice, winding down from your day of activity, nourishing and supporting the body with props, longer holds, and hands-on touch. You will experience energetic, physical and spiritual benefits as you create stillness in the mind, a release of tension in the body, and a deepening of your inner awareness.
Beyond these sessions, you are free to organize your days as you please.
The last yoga class is on Friday morning, October 25th. Please note, this class is from 8:00-9:00a.m. Departure is Friday, October 25th.
