EMBRACING CHANGES:
AUTUMN YOGA RETREAT AT NONNA HOF 24-27TH OCTOBER, 2024

Join me from October 24th to 27th, precisely timed for the end of the daylight-saving weekend, for a transformative autumn yoga retreat at the picturesque NONNA Hof in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

As winter approaches and the days grow shorter, this retreat offers a serene space to transition from the vibrant energy of summer to the tranquility of winter with acceptance and peace. The beautiful NONNA Hof near the Baltic Sea is the perfect place to reflect, recharge, and realign with nature’s cycles, finding harmony within ourselves.

During this soul-nurturing retreat, you'll practice vinyasa yoga, meditation, breathwork, yin yoga, and more, all designed to ease your transition into the colder months. These practices will help you cultivate mindfulness, inner strength, and gratitude for the changing seasons. You'll also have time to explore nature, read, journal, be creative, and enjoy the sauna while connecting with like-minded individuals.

Nourish your body with delicious plant-based cuisine, lovingly crafted by the talented Ria. Each meal will celebrate the season's bountiful harvest, offering sumptuous flavors of nourishing dishes, prepared with care and mindfulness. Ria is a cook and world traveler at heart. Cooking and baking are her form of meditation and traveling is her passion. Ria’s travels inspire her cooking which she shares wholeheartedly with participants at various retreats, trainings, and events around the world.

As you bid farewell to summer and prepare for winter, this autumn retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and find solace in nature's rhythm. Embrace the transformative power of acceptance and leave with a sense of inner peace, ready to welcome winter with newfound grace and serenity.

THE LOCATION

NONNA Hof is located in the quaint village of Wietstock in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, about two hours from Berlin. The 420-square-meter house features bright, light-filled rooms, old wooden beams, and cozy wooden floors. It encompasses 20,600 square meters of natural grounds with fruit trees, berry bushes, and meadows filled with medicinal herbs. The heart of NONNA is a 90-square-meter living and dining area with an open kitchen and a large dining table overlooking the grounds. A wood-burning stove adds warmth during colder months. The upper floor has five bedrooms with hotel-quality bed linen and cotton towels.
A 50-square-meter yoga room with a wood-burning stove offers views of the garden and surrounding countryside. The property also includes a sauna room and a photovoltaic system. You may spot deer or storks on the grounds, with only the sounds of nature, such as owl calls at night and the crowing of a neighboring rooster at sunrise, breaking the tranquility.

TESTIMONIALS FROM LAST YEAR’S RETREAT

The weekend was perfect. The place, the food, the exercises and the thought you put into it were all very warming and beautiful. The balance between activity and leisure was just right, I wouldn't change a thing :)

The Yin Yoga session was magic. Would have been nice if there was more of it! (There will be more yin this year!)

Great holistic experience.

I should go to more Yoga retreats. Before I didn't want to spend so much money on a couple of days but it was so worth it.

Everything was lovely. Yoga, extra activities, the food, the location.

Great people!! And I loved the atmosphere and the smell of the yoga room and the massages and oils. There was also a very „generous“ and giving atmosphere in the air.

Koko has great taste in music and is an all-around lovely person ;) Thank you so much for your openness, guidance and humor!

Not matter how much you practice yoga, you can really get along and enjoy.

It was all in all a wonderful experience on so many levels.
