Back to Yourself.
Four days of hatha and yin yoga, pranayama, meditation and sound in the forests of the eastern Ore Mountains – no expectations, no goals, entirely at your own pace.
Space to truly arrive within yourself
Everyday life constantly wants something from you – messages, appointments, expectations. On this yoga retreat at the Landhotel Altes Zollhaus you can set all of that aside for four days and simply feel, notice and breathe.
Yoga teacher Roman Richter guides you through a mindful practice of hatha and yin yoga, pranayama and meditation. Strengthening and challenging in the morning, gentle and deeply relaxing in the afternoon – with plenty of time in between for the sauna, the forest and silence.
The Zollhaus lies in Neuhermsdorf, part of the town of Altenberg, surrounded by forest and just 3 km from the Czech border. A place where it is easy to find calm.

Roman Richter
In 2010, during a longer work stay in New Delhi, Roman discovered Integral Yoga in the tradition of Swami Sivananda – a holistic path that unites several styles of yoga.
During a difficult phase of his life, yoga became the anchor that helped him find his way back to himself. He completed his yoga teacher training at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg; today he teaches internationally – and regularly with us at the Zollhaus.
As someone who had never done yoga before, all I can say is: it was an absolute enrichment! Roman met me exactly where I was and carried me along.– Sven, participant in a retreat with Roman (translated from German)
