Yoga, Snow & Stillness.
Yang yoga in the morning, yin yoga in the evening, singing bowls and a Wim Hof breathing workshop – in between, the day is yours: spa, cross-country trail or snowshoes. You decide what your weekend looks like.
Dear yogis,
finding harmony with yourself and with nature is a responsibility each of us carries. Fancy nature, yoga and relaxation? Then join us in the snowy eastern Ore Mountains at the end of February.
Yoga teacher Heike Henschke of Ashtanga Yoga Gotha guides you through four days: powerful yang yoga to start the morning, gentle yin yoga to end the day, plus singing bowl meditations and a three-hour Wim Hof breathing workshop with an optional ice bath.
The Landhotel Altes Zollhaus lies in Neuhermsdorf, part of Altenberg, in the middle of the forest just 3 km from the Czech border – with a spa and the cross-country trail right outside the door.
and your vegetarian dinner is already reserved.
Yang in the morning, yin in the evening
Two sides of one practice: tap yang or yin and turn the balance.
Yang yoga – active into the day
Dynamic, strengthening and warming: flowing movement and conscious breathing wake up body and mind. The generous breakfast buffet tastes twice as good afterwards.
- 3 sessions on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
- builds energy, strength and warmth
- perfect before the trail, a hike or a snowshoe tour
Yin yoga – gently into the evening
Calm, deep and releasing: long-held poses open fascia and joints, singing bowls settle the nervous system. Then it’s time for the shared vegetarian dinner.
- 3 sessions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
- 2 singing bowl meditations
- ideal after a day in the snow
What should your weekend look like?
Between yang and yin there is time for you. Choose what you feel like.
♨️ Spa & relaxation Unwind in the spa
Sauna and warmth, as much as you like: after your practice, simply let go and enjoy the Zollhaus spa – use of the spa is included in the price.
Tip: massages and treatments can be added. Wellness & sauna →
Yoga – then onto the trail
The cross-country trail starts right outside the door – towards the Czech Republic and towards Holzhau, with hundreds of kilometres of groomed tracks in the region.
Snow conditions permitting. Cross-country skiing →
Snowshoeing in the forest
Through deep snowy spruce forests and across mountain meadows, silent but for the crunch under your feet – the eastern Ore Mountains are made for snowshoe tours.
