Here, we can experience yoga sessions and workshops in a restored 1920s dance hall, unwind in the garden sauna, relax in the reading room, or simply drift along the meanders of the Havel River. At the end of the day, we can relax and recharge in the historic guesthouse. All seven rooms have en-suite bathrooms and combine rustic charm with modern comfort. There is a single room, as well as several double and triple rooms.

Meet your hosts

  • Birgit Brammer is a deeply experienced yoga teacher whose path has been shaped by a life of curiosity, connection, and global exploration.

    Her journey spans more than a decade of living and traveling with her family across Asia and Africa, where she absorbed rich cultural perspectives and deepened her yoga practice. These formative years, paired with a diverse range of teacher trainings—from trauma-sensitive yoga to neuroscience-informed approaches—inform her gentle yet powerful style today.

    Birgit teaches with clarity, empathy, and presence, offering practices that strengthen the body, settle the mind, and restore balance. Her approach is rooted in resilience, joy, and a deep belief in the healing power of conscious movement.

    After facing a serious illness five years ago, Birgit’s relationship to energy, presence, and purpose shifted profoundly. Now, each session she leads is an invitation to meet life with softness and strength—and to honor the body as a sacred companion through it all.

    She continues to study, evolve, and share yoga not as a performance, but as a source of clarity, steadiness, and renewal.

Meet your retreat chef

I’m Pauline, a French private chef with a background in fine dining and luxury hospitality in Germany and Switzerland. My cuisine is rooted in French and Mediterranean flavours, with a strong focus on seasonal ingredients, homemade food and generous, balanced cooking.

For the retreat, I’ll be creating fresh, predominantly vegetarian meals designed to complement the rhythm of the program — from nourishing brunches and comforting dinners to homemade snacks and lighter bites throughout the day. My aim is to offer food that feels both wholesome and indulgent, bringing people together around the table while supporting them throughout the retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, you are welcome as you are, and we can always find alternatives or adapt the practice in other ways. However, the retreat is not suitable for absolute beginners, so I welcome yogis with at least some prior experience.

  • Yes – as a passionate pre- and postnatal yoga teacher, you and your baby are always in safe, expert hands!

  • We will be a maximum of 16 participants plus the team.

  • The charming historic guesthouse is located in Bahnitz, in the beautiful Westhavelland Nature Park, 90 minutes west of Berlin by car. Of course, I'm happy to try to connect interested yogis for carpooling. Getting there by train is also super easy – from Berlin, the RE 1 train takes an hour to Wusterwitz. From there, it's just under 20 minutes by minibus to Bahnitz, although the costs can be shared.

  • Besides a lot of anticipation, maybe something to write with & maybe swimwear including a large towel in case you feel brave enough to jump into the Havel or want to use the sauna.
