Fasting Course with Hiking and Yoga

Discover a range of multi-day fasting courses and retreats designed to help you find the method that suits you best and begin your own restorative break.

Your time out

Enjoy moments of calm and regeneration. Whether your goal is stress reduction, getting back into movement, or simply lightening your load, this fasting course with hiking and yoga offers exactly the right setting. It is also a great opportunity to meet new, interesting people. For a deeper practice, a premium yoga/meditation package is available.

Your individual fasting course

In this retreat, you can experience not only physical relaxation, but also mental and emotional ease. The combination of yoga, meditation, hikes, and different detox fasting approaches creates ideal conditions for replenishing your energy and returning to everyday life with renewed strength. Take an active role in supporting your own wellbeing.

Detox fasting methods

You can choose the fasting method that feels right for you. The classic detox fast according to Dr. Buchinger is a liquid-only program with juices, broths, teas, and water. Detox vegan alkaline fasting combines alkaline nutrition with intermittent fasting, including a daily 16-hour eating break. Alternatively, you may choose fasting-mimicking fasting, which stimulates autophagy through reduced calorie intake. Of course, the methods can be adapted to how you feel, changed at any time, or adjusted as needed.

Movement and fasting

Fasting for a week or longer while eating a plant-based, alkaline diet and staying active is a wonderful combination. Our bodies have always been designed for movement and moderate food intake. Use your fasting period to support your body through exercise and enhance the effects.

Yoga and meditation

We practice Hatha yoga, Kundalini yoga, Yin yoga, and Sukshma Vyayama. Yoga is a holistic approach that combines physical and breathing exercises with meditation. The Heart Chakra Meditation is a special experience, blending movement to meditative music with a final rest phase. If you would like to deepen your yoga experience, you can book the premium package.

Massages, sauna, and swimming pool

Depending on the course location, you may have the chance to enjoy soothing massages. Spacious sauna areas invite you to restore balance between body and mind. At some locations, additional saunas and swimming pools are also available to further enhance your wellbeing.
