Simply live better

RETREAT

Entdecke welches Potential in dir und deinem Atem steckt

Wir laden dich in die stillen, kraftvollen Tiroler Alpen ein, um  Klarheit, Ruhe und neue Energie zu tanken

This special breathing retreat combines the cleansing power of the breath with movement-oriented practices that bring body and mind into harmony.

Experience how you can use targeted breathing techniques and mindful movement to release inner blockages, deepen your body awareness and create space for something new with every conscious inhalation and exhalation. Let go of the old, breathe freely and immerse yourself in your natural rhythm - without pressure, without a goal.

We open up the space for slowing down, for consciously breathing deeply and for the regenerative power that lies within you. By activating your vagus nerve, you strengthen your resistance to stress and promote your emotional balance. The voluntary Ice bathing in Fernsteinsee or in nearby pools gives you an intense, invigorating experience - a cleansing that goes far beyond the physical.

Our retreat "Discover the healing power of your breath" awaits you:

  • Practical breathing exercises (Pranayama, TAO|Breath)
  • Breathing practice with movements from Qi Gong, yoga and Pilates
  • Theoretical knowledge of the anatomy and biochemistry of breathing
  • Everything you need to know about the vagus nerve
  • Hike in the beautiful countryside
  • Outdoor breathing sessions depending on the weather
  • Possibility of ice bathing

Date: 3.5.2026 – 6.5.2026
Price: from € 440 plus meals and accommodation

Breathing, meditation and movement in nature

🌿 In our many years of Experience as a trainer and operator of the YouTube channel "Simply live better" we have repeatedly witnessed the transformative effect of the breath on the health and well-being of our clients. Through our work we have found that the conscious use of the breath not only has a superficial effect on the body, but can bring about profound changes on a physical, mental and emotional level. We want to explore this healing power of the breath together during these days and significantly improve physical and mental health in the process.
 
Our daily routine during of the retreat is designed to emphasize the practical experience, but also to provide background knowledge and understanding of the breath. We believe that a holistic approach to breathwork is crucial to achieving long-term results. It is therefore our aim to present breathwork not just as a theoretical concept, but to establish it as a holistic approach to improving health and well-being.
 
Through our retreats and workshops, we want to support people in developing a deep connection to their breath and using it as a powerful tool for self-healing and self-development. We firmly believe that a conscious breathing practice can not only lead to a healthier life, but also to a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.

    Hello dear Wolfgang!
    Unfortunately I'm too late for this year, but I would like to ask if you are planning another retreat like the current one or something similar next year. I would prefer just a Qi Gong workshop/retreat.

    Best regards from St. Pölten
