Free from the distractions of everyday life, you can learn more about your own yoga practice in these weeks than you might in several years otherwise. You will gain a deep understanding of yoga philosophy and build a theoretical foundation through lectures and workshops. Even if you do not intend to work as a Yoga teacher afterwards, this training will be rewarding: you will experience yoga and yourself in an intensive and profound way. Its in-depth theory and practice will equip you to lead classes for different levels and needs. The experienced teachers share their knowledge and experience with warmth and insight.

Philosophy

At the ashram in the Teutoburg Forest, spirituality, yoga and meditation are practised and passed on in keeping with Hindu tradition. There is no daily room service. The dining hall is self-service. Staff and guests live without smoking or alcohol. An important aspect of yoga is treating nature and all living beings with care. The food is therefore vegan. A spirit of mutual support runs throughout the centre, and the staff are here for you with warmth and dedication.

Location & Surroundings

The area around Horn-Bad Meinberg is known as the “healing garden of Central Europe”. Its exceptional concentration of spa towns, therapeutic baths, healing springs, moorland and places of power, such as the Externsteine, is unique. For centuries, health-conscious people have come to this region seeking healing, peace, spiritual experiences and a deeper connection with themselves.

Food & Drink

One of the largest vegan organic kitchens in Germany. A vegan wholefood buffet is served at 11:00 and 18:00 for lunch and dinner. Water and tea are also available throughout the day, and a selection of fruit is served in the morning. Fresh organic ingredients are used to prepare the homemade dishes. Yoga Vidya places great importance on seasonal, sustainable produce and supports local farmers and partners. There are 2 large dining halls and 7 smaller ones. If you have any questions about allergens, an information list for guests with allergies is available at the buffet.
