Welcome to our yellow yoga forest house!

We are particularly looking forward to this year’s retreat season – at our newborn yellow yoga retreat location Gebhardshütte in the beautiful Odenwald (about 1 hour from Heidelberg).

Our yoga forest retreats last between 4 and 6 days. They are accompanied by up to 3 of our regular yellow yoga teachers, who will lovingly support you with their experience and hold various yoga classes each day. The yoga style depends on the respective teacher. You can find almost everything in our retreat program – from vinyasa and ashtanga to kundalini, yin and restorative yoga. Besides yoga, the forest retreats have many other wonderful things on offer: breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation, sound journeys and massages, talking and singing circles, campfires and trips to the swimming lake!

29.09. – 04.10. A 6-day yoga forest retreat with Jennifer, Éric and Orsola*
(Friday-Wednesday)
Tuesday, October 3, is a public holiday in Germany (Tag der Einheit).

Theme
The Power of Change
The ancient teachings of yoga tell us that nothing is permanent except for change. Yet they also tell us that there is an infinite and eternal part of ourselves that is unchanging and that our connection to that is the key to happiness. As summer transitions into autumn, this retreat will explore how yoga can help us maintain equanimity through internal and external shifts while also supporting proactive personal growth. Through asana, breath work, meditation, and philosophy talks, we will take time to explore and embrace the many paradoxes of yoga – for example cultivating acceptance and gratitude for the ways things are, meanwhile enabling transformation of body, mind and spirit – how might our personal yoga practice evolve over time and yet be an anchor of stability in an ever changing world?

About the yellow yoga Gebhardshütte.

In the middle of the Odenwald – near the Nibelungensteig – Claudia, the founder of yellow yoga, came across the beautiful Gebhardshütte together with her family a number of years ago. Until then, the Gebhardshütte had been a hostel for pilgrims and hikers. Slowly but steadily, over the last 3 years, it has been growing into a cozy retreat center. The Gebhardshütte is deeply hidden in the forest, far away from the noises and chaos of the city. It has a beautiful and large garden, a spacious farm kitchen with a guest room for 28 people, many quiet spaces, several balconies, lovingly designed rooms and a small meditation room for up to 16 yogis. The décor, with its vintage furniture, is simple yet tasteful, authentic yet familiar. The place was maybe not created with a lot of money, but instead with a lot of care and love for our yellow yoga community. Our yoga forest vacations are community retreats and thus follow the principles of karma yoga, i.e. we cook together and everyone helps out. In this way we can offer each and every one of you a longer and deeper retreat experience even at a low budget.

*** Please note that the retreats will only take place if there are at least 8 participants. If there are less than 14 registrations, the third teacher will not accompany us.
