Yoga im Kloster Oberzell in detail

Hotel

Your yoga holiday takes you to Seminarhaus Klara. Part of Kloster Oberzell, the seminar house offers an atmosphere made for a restorative break. Set beside the picturesque Main, it welcomes you with historic architecture, carefully maintained in elegant style. The monastery blends tradition with modernity. The Franciscan Sisters of Oberzell place great importance on hospitality, with people at the heart of all they do. They meet an increasingly impersonal world with human warmth.

The spacious grounds offer room to let your feet and thoughts wander. A lovingly tended herb garden is a particular highlight. With 100 different plants, it is one of the largest monastery gardens in Germany, and you can sample the soothing herbs as tea.

Location & Surroundings

Kloster Oberzell and its adjoining seminar house, Haus Klara, are in Zell am Main, Bavaria, set within spacious monastery grounds surrounded by nature and right beside the Main. Just a few kilometres from Würzburg, the monastery lies in the beautiful region of Lower Franconia.

The wall surrounding the rear of the monastery grounds can make you feel a world away from everyday life. The grounds open out towards the Main, with views across the vineyards to Würzburg, creating a sense of space and a peaceful retreat. A charming nature and water conservation area right next door invites you to enjoy walks and unwind.

Food & Drink

Fresh, varied vegan cuisine awaits you, with simple and flavoursome dishes. Dinner is included on the day of arrival, while breakfast and lunch are included on the day of departure. Drinks are served with meals; drinks are available to purchase outside mealtimes. The dishes are made with local, mostly home-grown and organic ingredients.

Health & Cures

Experienced, certified yoga teachers give your practice attentive support. A range of yoga styles is taught for guests aged 16 and over, including Hatha, Lu Jong and Yin Yoga. You will practise asanas, meditate and explore self-awareness and the philosophy of yoga. This is a structured journey in which greater awareness of posture and breath becomes a tool for vitality, relaxation, calm and wellbeing. The guiding principle is: “Everything is optional; nothing is compulsory.” Lu Jong sessions are also available. This is Tibetan healing yoga, taught according to the tradition of Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche, the revered Buddhist lama. It is a holistic style of yoga that supports health. Lu Jong can be practised by people of all ages, regardless of their physical abilities.

Fitness & Sports

Sylvia Asmodena Kurtar: “For me, yoga is a wonderful way to tune into myself and feel completely at ease.” It was important to her to complete her training in India (in the original). She found an excellent place to do so at the SVYASA Yoga Institute, where she trained in 2005 in the spirit of Swami Vivekananda. Her 900-hour training at this renowned institute focused on the teachings of classical yoga and yoga therapy. She has been sharing these teachings successfully through classes and training programmes for 20 years. Yoga and the shamanic path have been part of her life for 30 years.

Pool area

Haus Klara is certified to the EMAS standard (environmental management system). Since November 2017, a project team has been working on Haus Klara’s environmental and sustainability management system, regularly reviewing it and making ongoing improvements.

The house is strongly committed to environmental protection and offers a stay focused on mindful eating, activity and sustainability. Plastic is deliberately avoided at the seminar house, food waste is composted, and recycling extends beyond rubbish: recycled wood is also used for decorations and furniture. Meals are made with local, mostly home-grown, organic ingredients.

Leisure

The Franconian landscape is characterised by several low mountain ranges, along with deciduous and coniferous forests. Zell’s most precious resource is the water from the Zeller Berg. The town once had numerous springs and wells, some of which you can still visit today.

The sand habitats, protected as the so-called Sandachse Franken, are also unique in southern Germany. Two wonderful circular walking trails above Zell offer a chance to discover more about the local flora, fauna and water: the Water and Nature Trail. Depending on the route length and your fitness, you can explore the surrounding area at your own pace.

The monastery holiday with Om Tara was truly special in every way! The monastery itself is a magical place and the Om Tara yoga retreat helped me get rid of back pain and reduce stress.

The yoga retreat at Kloster Oberzell was wonderful!

Three days to let my soul unwind, gentle and mindful yoga sessions, meditation and good, fresh food… I couldn't have imagined a better break. The monastery, with its grounds and gardens, is a beautiful place with a very special energy, and the rooms are clean, with newly renovated bathrooms. Asmodena, the yoga teacher, creates an atmosphere in the class where everyone felt comfortable straight away, thanks to her great knowledge and wonderful energy. Thank you!

Brilliant!
