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 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.

    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.

Retreat Reviews

  • Ibiza 2023

    “Liebe Alya,ganz lieben Dank für das SUPER organisierte Ibiza -Retreat.Du hast die Woche mit viel Hingabe und Leidenschaft geplant und umgesetzt.Neben den Herausfordernden Jivamukti Morgenstunden - welche jeden Tag eine andere Abfolge hatte - hast Du Dir auch viele Gedanken über Philosophie, Meditation, Pranayama und Workshops gemacht. Jede angebotene Stunde war sehr lehrreich und Wertschöpfend für mich persönlich.Die angebotene Freizeitgestaltung war ebenfalls wow (Hipi-Markt, Stand-Up yoga Paddel, Temazcal…)Die Workshops haben mich insoweit weitergebracht, dass ich jetzt in der Lage bin auf verschiedenen Weg in den Kopfstand zu kommen und wie ich richtig Unterarmstand übe. Ich freue mich auf das nächste Mal und einige meiner Yogi-Freunde würden das nächste Mal mitkommen.”

  • Ibiza 2023

    “Das beste Yoga-Retreat, bei dem ich bisher war - besonders gefallen hat mir die herausfordernde und täglich variierende Jivamukti-Praxis am Morgen und das gemeinsame leckere Frühstück danach. In 2 Workshops am Nachmittag konnte ich darüber hinaus meine Technik verbessern und mein lang ersehntes Ziel erreichen.”

  • Mountain Retreat 2024

    “Ich hatte auch das Glück mit auf Alyas Yoga Mountain Retreat in Leogang zu gehen. Wir hatten 5 so tolle Tage in dem wunderschönen Biohotel Rupertus. Die Mischung aus anspruchsvollen Yogaklassen, Yoga-Philosophie, Asana-Lab, Yoga-Nitra und Sound-Healing waren für mich perfekt und ausgewogen. Und zwischendrin haben wir die Natur, den Wellnessbereich und das super leckere Essen genossen. Ich kann die Retreats mit Alya daher sehr weiterempfehlen.”
