Unterkunft
The retreat offers single, two, three, and four-bed rooms, all simple, bright, and comfortable with wash basin and several shared bathrooms.
In the same building, the lovely spacious yoga room, including yoga mats, meditation cushions, chairs and blankets is exclusively available for your use throughout the retreat (daytime). That is, you may use the room in your free time if you wish to, for warming up ahead of class or for silent alone time.
You will also have access to a very cozy library for quiet leisure time, as well as outdoor recreation areas like the roof covered terrace with chairs and a few benches in nature.
Programm
The retreat includes 11 days (10 nights) of lodging in single or shared rooms, nourishing vegetarian full board, and a comprehensive schedule of daily yoga and meditation, breath and mind-body practices, deep relaxation with Yoga Nidra, philosophical as well as practical foundations for meditation.
You will begin by creating a safe and sacred space of acceptance and compassion within the group. There are no expectations on you other than kindness and openness - the intention is simply to create trust and let the group energy support and energize your practice.
Through philosophy and practice, the blend of ancient wisdom with modern insights on mind-body-energy health is designed to empower your personal practice, helping you return home confident and committed to unify your work and to embody your most aligned self.
As you dig deep into focused awareness, intention, clarity, stability, one-pointedness, and joy in the continual process of going inward, you prepare yourselves to access the equanimity and bliss that exists within.
Program
All days include the following elements, although exact times and practices may vary. Allow your practice, intentions and goals to evolve and deepen throughout the retreat.
The new day begins in silence. You will wake up with guided pranayama, silent meditation, visualization practice and / or mantra meditation. After meditation, let the vegetarian breakfast buffet nourish you for the day ahead!
This first meal is enjoyed in silence, a mindfulness practice to celebrate the experience of being. If new to this practice, you may be surprised to find how rich a silent meal can feel!
Back in the light-flooded yoga room, a lecture or a Satsang (open discussion) or lecure is given on foundations for meditation. The lectures cover a wide range of topics, all related to empowering your practice with wisdom, understanding, skill, and compassion. Yogic teachings are primarily from the lineage of Traditional Yoga of the Himalayan Masters; an original and complete source of yogic wisdom including all the limbs and aspects of yoga. These teachings are thoughtfully blended with modern insights about body-mind correlation, effects of meditation, the physical world and your relationship with it, and much more.
The lecture is followed by an invigorating yoga session. Find your focus, feel your alignment in new detail, balance your mind, strengthen your nervous system, and uncover your own inner stability, equipoise and grace.
After yoga, the delicious lunch buffet is served! Free from all hurry - there will now be free time to enjoy the beautiful area, meditate or rest.
The late afternoon offers a restorative yoga meditation session to integrate the day’s learning deep into your body. Let go, relax, and rejuvenate.
Dinner will again be served as a wholesome vegetarian buffet. Relish in each other’s presence and in the insights and breakthroughs of the day.
You will end the day with a deep silent meditation, either Yoga Nidra or a guided sitting meditation, allowing your being profound restoration and deepening your practice.
This is an in-depth program with a possibility of profound transformation. The safe retreat environment may enable deep-seated blockages to finally move out of your being. The power of focused intention and awareness of the group intensifies your shared experience and empowers your personal practice.
Satya Mountain Yoga hopes that you may return to your everyday life with this expanded awareness, integrating the insights and tools you discovered for yourself into everyday life and in your continued yogic journey.

Lehrer
Sandra Ehlers
Sandra Ehlers is a Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher devoted to inner expansion and awakening. Her teaching and personal practice include all the limbs of traditional yoga, including the wisdom path of yoga, asana, mindfulness, meditation, and yoga Nidra practice to help you reconnect with your body, energy, and inner layers and allow your inner wisdom to emerge. Sandra's teaching style is soft, firm and calm, emphasizing self-honesty, self-compassion, inner courage, and trust in your own experience and in your ability to lean into joyful awareness.
Retreat Ort
The retreat resort is peacefully tucked away on a hillside above Immenstadt, with a view to southern Allgäu, Grünten, and the main chain of the Alps. The house is surrounded by forest and wildflower meadows, where you will practice mindfulness as part of the program.
Note that Riederalp lies within the Nagelfluhkette Nature Reserve. From Immenstadt, an easy 30-minute hike is required (a common hike from the train station will be arranged). This means that although Immenstadt is a popular hiking and outdoor destination and very easy to reach in summer, once you arrive at the retreat resort you will be alone with nature.
