During your stay we offer a mixture of different healing yoga styles, which are suited for Yoginis at all levels. Yoga brings you relaxation and stimulates the self-healing abilities of the body. Yoga improves your fitness level, concentration and breathing. You will start to regain confidence in your body and its abilities. It will also help to support and release the physical and mental effects of the treatments.
