Stress & Nervous System Reset Retreat
September 4th - September 6th, 2025 • Klandorf, Brandenburg
This retreat combines in-depth knowledge about stress and the nervous system with yoga, breathwork and coaching – embedded in a soothing break in tranquil nature.
*Please note: This retreat will be held in German, with English support if needed.
Away from everyday life, you have space to relax, gain new perspectives and sustainably regulate your nervous system
Understanding stress,
regulating the nervous system
Stress is not just a mental phenomenon – it affects us simultaneously on a physical, emotional, and mental level, significantly shaping our nervous system. In this retreat, you will learn what stress truly is, how it arises, and why our bodies often remain in a state of constant alert.
Through a combination of targeted yoga sequences (asana), breathing exercises (pranayama), meditation (dhyana) and yoga nidra, we consciously create access to the parasympathetic nervous system – the part responsible for regeneration, healing and inner security.
In addition, we work with coaching exercises that help you to make your own inner convictions, patterns, and beliefs visible . Often, the real source of stress lies not in external circumstances, but in unconscious inner drivers. The goal is to recognize these, question them, and develop new, stress-reducing perspectives.
This gradually creates an individual understanding of how you can better regulate your nervous system in everyday life – physically, mentally and emotionally – and what you specifically need to get out of stress mode in the long term.

Accommodation
Simply “being able to be” is part of the holistic concept at Naturhaus Schorfheide. This includes a natural environment in the sense of healthy living, healthy exercise and healthy, natural food.
The rooms are designed as charming little farm rooms. Each room has its own character and invites you to relax thanks to its simplicity. In total there are three and a half shared bathrooms and two atmospheric lounges as well as a wood-fired sauna.
The yoga/seminar room is a 6 meter high, light-flooded room and the heart of the nature house. The outdoor terrace also offers the opportunity to move yoga and workshops outside.
Nourishment
The cuisine aims for balance and harmony: the connection between the ingredients and their relationship to the earth; a balance between tradition and innovation, health and pleasure. Seasonal, as local as possible, deeply nourishing and full of joy.
Location
The Schorfheide impresses with its spaciousness and breathtaking sunsets. The forest borders the three edges of the village and is ideal for walks - the Schorfheide is part of the UNESCO-protected Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere reserve and the second largest contiguous forest area in Germany.

Meet your teacher
Linda Köper
Linda is a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic yoga specialist and yoga therapist for hormone balance.
Due to her own hormonal problems (amenorrhea), she began to delve deeper into the hormonal system more than 15 years ago. A few hundred cycles and further training (including Ayurveda for (perio-)menopause and hormonal yoga) later, she is of the opinion that we women should do more to improve our problems naturally and, above all, should do one thing: talk about it!
