Yoga & QiGong in the Ore Mountains
Flowing QiGong by the forest lake in the morning, yoga in the late afternoon – and in between, time for yourself: the sauna, a good book or a walk through the woods around Altenberg.
A weekend to simply breathe out
At the end of May the eastern Ore Mountains are lush and green, the meadows around the Landhotel Altes Zollhaus are in bloom and the forest lake invites you for the first swim of the year. That is exactly when Chrissi and Ulli from Relaxed Mind bring their yoga and QiGong weekend to Neuhermsdorf – a quiet district of Altenberg, about three kilometres from the Czech border.
The idea is simple and soothing: the day starts with gentle QiGong, the late afternoon belongs to yoga. What happens in between is up to you – read, swim, enjoy the sauna, go hiking or just lie in the meadow and watch the clouds.
Come on your own and book a single room – or share the weekend with a friend, colleague, your mother or someone else you love.
Two days of movement, stillness and good food – surrounded by nature.
From morning QiGong to evening talks
Tap a time of day to see what awaits you.
The day begins with QiGong: slow, flowing movements that deepen the breath, loosen the joints and clear the mind. Perfect for anyone trying QiGong for the first time.
Fancy a breath right now?
A little foretaste: breathe in as the circle grows and out as it gets smaller.
