Winter Silence: A Christmas Yoga & Sound Healing Retreat Has the year slipped by in a whirlwind of demands, deadlines, and caring for others? If you’ve been longing for a pause, this retreat is for you. Just before Christmas, we invite you to step away from the rush and step into stillness — a time not to please, perform, or push, but to truly reconnect with yourself and like-minded and kind humans. Our retreat unfolds at the beautiful Schloss Hotel Mondsee, a historic monastery turned modern hotel, nestled at the edge of the Austrian Alps. With its serene atmosphere, festive lights, and mountain backdrop, it offers the perfect setting for deep rest and renewal. Your guides, Vlad (200H Yoga Teacher & 800H Yoga Therapist) and Chris (200H Yoga Teacher & Sound Healer), have designed a program that balances strength, calm, and joy: • Invigorating Yang-like morning practices of Vinyasa or Ashtanga Yoga to awaken body and breath. • Peaceful Yin-like evening practices of Yin, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra to quiet the mind and restore balance. • Sound healing with Tibetan bowls to deepen your relaxation and inner clarity. • As an additional (re)treat, restorative sound healing sessions, allowing the vibrations of the traditional Tibetan bowls to bring you deeper into relaxation and balance. With ample free time between yoga practices, you have plenty of options to indulge in: • the hotel's modern spa and pool area, where you can fully unwind, or • savoring the exquisite fusion of Austrian and Italian cuisine and wine (3-course menu catering to most diets and allergies, and available upon request) • exploring the surrounding Alpine scenery inc. where some of the famous scenes of the iconic “Sound of Music” movie were filmed • the festive atmosphere of the Christmas market just in front of the hotel This retreat is accommodating to all yoga levels, including beginners. Whether you're seeking deep relaxation, a festive holiday experience, or a fresh start to your yoga journey, this retreat promises to be an unforgettable memory of the year.
