Welcome to our yellow yoga forest house!
Our yoga forest retreats in the beautiful Odenwald last between 4 and 6 days. They are accompanied by 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. Our retreat program includes almost everything – 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, massages, talking and singing circles, campfires, and trips to a lake.

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 few 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 more than 12 participants, there will be 2 groups, i.e. 2 classes in the morning and 2 classes in the evening.
