This Jivamukti Yoga retreat at Villa Arnica / Schwarzschmied invites you to consciously feel the ground beneath your feet again. In a time of constant acceleration and sensory overload, we create space for grounding, presence and genuine connection.

Grounding is the guiding thread of the retreat. In the mornings, we practise strong and precise Jivamukti Yoga, cultivating stability, clarity and inner alignment. Meditation and pranayama support a collected, centred mind and help you arrive fully in the body. In the evenings, Yin and Restorative Yoga guide you into deep relaxation, accompanied by poetry, nature-based texts and stories that touch and integrate.

Beyond the mat, we continue to connect with the earth. In the fermentation and cooking workshops, we work with vegetables, herbs and roots, sourced directly from the garden of Villa Arnica and the surrounding landscape. You will experience how nourishing it is to prepare food with your own hands. Together, we explore simple fermentation and pickling techniques that you can easily apply at home. The retreat concludes with a “from garden to table” cooking workshop and a shared dinner.

This retreat is an invitation to slow down together, to feel more deeply, to experience community and to root yourself sustainably. Look forward to strong and grounding practice, deep rest, wellness, honest connection, good music and truly delicious food.
