Mountain Retreat 2025
from 1114€ per Person
Mountains are the places of power. Majestic and stretching high above the clouds, yet firmly grounded and unwavering despite any passing storm and weather conditions. From 01st to 05th of October 2025 (once again a long weekend in Germany), let us re-connect to the element of earth and learn from the mountains how to ground down in order to lift up.
Two daily yoga classes and vegan catering ensure to nourish both your soul and the body. The character of this yoga week in Leogang is grounding, slow-paced, down-to-earth, spacious and very familiar. In addition to the yoga and extra theory lessons, there is also time for yourself. You can laze by the pool, walk in the area, explore the mountains by cable car or have a nice massage and/or therapy session.

The classes of the Mountain retreat with Alya Yoga are based on Jivamukti Yoga lineage and Buddhist philosophy. There will be two yoga classes per day: one vigorous Jivamukti class in the morning and one slower-paced (or a workshop) in the evening. Each morning will begin with a seating meditation practice.
During the day you can chill at the pool, have a massage (subject to extra charge), go hiking or just enjoy the stillness of the mountains.
All yoga classes are held in English or German, depending on the group participants.

Home to our retreat is a family-managed climate-neutral Biohotel Rupertus, nested in the valley of Leogang, Austria. In the rooms and the kitchen, in the garden and in the spa, but also everywhere in between, there is 100 percent organic quality. The Rupertus Biohotel is a certified organic hotel and invests in holistic sustainability by implementing 100 % green electricity, controlled resource consumption, recycled paper, plastic reduction and consistent CO2 optimisation.
Every room is equipped with own bathroom and balcony, TV, beauty products, safe, bathrobe, free WiFi 07:00 am until 11:00 pm with a downtime during the night for a healthy sleep.
The cuisine is 100 % organic with vegan and regional specialities.
In your free time, stroll barefoot through the dewy grass in the garden, take in the scent of the flowers and take a refreshing dip in the large indoor and outdoor pool. Or perhaps read a book while relaxing on one of the sun loungers with a dream view of the Leoganger Steinberge mountains. You can also admine the mountain view from the new adults-only area - from the lounging niches or from the emerald green giant sofa in the relaxation room. Sweat it out in the round panorama sauna with ice fountain on the second floor, while families might prefer the family herbal sauna with cozy "nests" in the relaxation room by the pool, protected by soft linen curtains.

About Alya
Alya is a 500+ hour certified Jivamukti and Advanced Vinyasa yoga teacher and is already well known in the Stuttgart yoga scene. She has been teaching Vinyasa since 2018 and Jivamukti since 2022 in various well-known Stuttgart studios. Her sweat-inducing asana sequences are accompanied by both Indian ragas and contemporary music – be prepared to move to the beats of electro, hip-hop and Indian mantras. Each yoga class begins with a spiritual introduction to Buddhist teachings and ends with a meditation. The class is taught verbally (i.e. the teacher does not demonstrate anything) so that you can concentrate better on your own body and breath.
The language of instruction is adapted to the participants (German or English).
