Yoga Vidya Bad Meinberg

Fantastische Erfahrung: It was another great weekend at Yoga Vidya, delicious healthy food and good accommodation. Forget about everyday stress and raise awareness among highly qualified instructors and recharge your batteries. In my case, Dr. Nalini Sahay, where I have already attended the third seminar and am always impressed by their incredible knowledge and their sustainable way to convey this. Thank you very much!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I was back at the Yoga Holiday Special this year and loved it as always. The atmosphere is something special! There are so many offers, there is something for everyone - mornings and afternoons yoga classes, meditations (also led), workshops, lectures, mantra singing, and much more. You can also try Nordic walking, swimming or hiking. The most beautiful experience this time was the Klangreise. The vegetarian / vegan food was delicious, and tea and water were available all day for free. The en-suite room was simply furnished and a bit dated, but the bed was comfortable and you only had to sleep there. I am looking forward to my next stay. Om shanti.

Fantastische Erfahrung: A good place for the serious yoga aspirant! In this ashram you can learn a lot, study yoga intensively, meditate, regenerate, relax and meet like-minded people. The landscape around it is also very inspiring. The price-performance ratio is right. The 2-year yoga teacher training there has enriched me personally. I would like to come back for further seminars.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I love Bad Meinberg. it's big, 800 people can sleep there, I think. 400 fit in the meditation room. You can walk there completely undisturbed, at the same time it is possible to make contacts, to see old friends again and much more. All the seminars I have attended so far have been good to very good quality. I was also in the Westerwald and on the North Sea, everything was okay, but I prefer Bad Meinberg. om shanti.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I love it. The biggest yoga center in existence ;-) There are so many possibilities here and the food is the force. I have never eaten so delicious vegetarian (and this is a large kitchen). Also, the forest around the building is really nice so the man can go for a walk. Every time I come to the ashram, I'm happy every time I feel good. Thank you Om Shri Hanumate Namaha Om Namaha Shivaya Shanti Shanti Shanti

Fantastische Erfahrung: Hello and Om Shanti to all who read these lines, I decided to take a yoga class when I was 50 years old and that was the beginning of a more intense, deeper, more sunny and joyful life. I did not know that yet today I know it and I am today a three-year yoga teacher training at Yoga Vidya which is certainly not always easy but she brings me a lot of joy and many things that I re-meet differently see and feel, the mantra singing, the yoga exercises, the meditation thinking about God and the world and about me. For all this I am grateful that I can still experience this and I am grateful for the training yoga vidya. And if there is something here and there that does not work out, that's the challenge and tasks for me, how do I react, how do I deal with what I've learned. One thing that is important to me is the love of others and of myself, and the joy of living, the gratitude of their peace and love. So, in the spirit of trusting in life and love, I wish all people peace and harmony and that of a great heart. Your Veronika

Fantastische Erfahrung: Whoever still haven't been to Bad meinberg, my advice is to go there weekdays. you will love this place if you are Vegatarian or Vegan. If you searching for spiritual way of meditation. If you want to meet lovely people. Bad meinberg provide almost all kind of yoga course from beginner to advancer, also giving Ayuvera course and services. don't wait. Do it now!

Fantastische Erfahrung: For over 10 years, I come to Yoga Vidya again and again to Bad Meinberg, often several times a year. I completed my apprenticeship as a yoga teacher here and now I almost feel like my 'second home'. If I had no other obligations, I would very much like to live entirely there. All staff and residents I have only experienced very friendly! :) And more pluses: the environment is beautiful, invites you to Nordic walking or long walks. Twice a day there is a vegetarian buffet, delicious and rich. Anyone who misses a meal can take a snack as a snack. And the yoga classes: there is always something for everyone - even for beginners, no matter which age group! Whether families with children, groups of friends or singles - here you can quickly connect and feel good !! The accommodation is functional and friendly. However, if you come here with the claim 'hotel' in your head, you will probably be disappointed. It is a seminar house, which originated from a former rehab clinic with the charm of the 70s (!). Anyone who has spent many nights in a youth hostel will know what I am talking about. Hotel service in the 'usual' sense one looks for in vain, that's important to know, because otherwise one is disappointed! Bed linen you bring with you or you can borrow cheap. Also, one should not put too high demands on the sanitary areas, which, however, o.k. are. Yoga Vidya is an ashram, it is important to have a good time together, so you can help with the general work in the house for a short time (about 45 minutes per day)! By the way, this can also be fun, because you are almost never alone and good mood is everywhere free !!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I was part of my training as a yoga teacher and music festival in Bad Meinberg and will certainly go there more often. Whether yoga, Satsang, food or the people you meet there - for me everything is consistent and I feel very comfortable there.

Fantastische Erfahrung: A great place for meditative retreats and learning really important things. The yoga house Bad Meinberg is a really great place / ashram! The meditative mood is noticeable from the entrance hall. Of course, the daily routine, the singing and the regular meal times (vegetarian, but SUCCESSFUL) are getting used to, just like some rooms. However, one should expect, after all, you do not visit a luxury hotel, but a yoga ashram. And in such a way, it's just about to focus on the essential. That is, on yourself. For me, Bad Meinberg is always worth a trip and I am already looking forward to being there again and again to eat delicious, to be able to help in the kitchen, to make new, peaceful acquaintances and the Ashram atmosphere together with tomorrow & evening kirtan (singing) to be allowed to enjoy! Best regards, Tobias Najmann

Fantastische Erfahrung: I had a very nice and inspiring WE at Yoga Vidya again. The ashram with all its staff, visitors and offers are just right for me. The vegan whole food catering forms the crowning conclusion. For anyone who wants to take a deliberate break from the stress and excitement of everyday life, this is just the thing. And the nice thing is, the more often I go there, the longer the relaxation and the rest stay for me :-)

Fantastische Erfahrung: The house is clean and friendly. The yoga teachers competent. I am a yoga teacher myself for 18 years and always like to go here to practice and also to learn. The smells are of course by smoking and cooking food rather Indian ;-) and for some Europeans rather unusual.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I have completed my yoga teacher training here in Europe's largest ashram (or small India) and can only report GOOD. Starting with the food ... delicious .. my teacher incredible warm and competent people !!! My colleagues during my / our training .. so a lot of love and warmth between us even though we were strangers and of different nationalities I have never met and is just amazing, but it was just that! I was lucky enough to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve here, an experience which I could I think it still gives you goosebumps, it's hard to describe you should experience it !!! Also, I have been here several times in recent years to further education and every time it is like coming home for me.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I am a regular at Yoga Vidya and always enjoy meeting many nice people who are spiritually interested. The Satsangs (joint meeting with mantra singing and meditation) is always inspiring and creates new inspiration for the own practice.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I have known the Bad Meinberg seminar house for many years - and always enjoy being there. There are probably only a few places in Germany or Europe where the yoga mind in all its facets, i.e. physical exercises (asanas), vegetarian or vegan diet, deep relaxation, communal singing and meditation - as well as spiritual development opportunities can be found in this diversity. I find it particularly fascinating that the offer "resonates" with both beginners and advanced yogis and that we can all take new experiences with us again and again. Many can feel the special energy vibration of this place. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Bad Meinberg. Many thanks to the Yoga Vidya team and greetings from Kurt

Fantastische Erfahrung: I was here for the second time in Bad Meinberg, and again totally thrilled, fascinated by this spiritual, multi-cultural place, with its special people, no matter what age. Here you can immerse yourself in another world, recharge your batteries. This time I attended the seminar "Resistance to Change" at the great Shambhavi. Her incredible knowledge about yoga and meditation enriches and inspires me again and again ... Thank you very much !! I'm looking forward to next year ... Om Shanti :-)

Fantastische Erfahrung: I admit - I used to be very skeptical about Yoga Vidya! A few times acquaintances had dropped the word "sect" -in itself enough to instantly displace me, freedom-loving people, and then I watched a few videos of Satsang on the Internet and found it rather strange , And then the 4-week intensive yoga teacher training - can you really become a yoga teacher in 4 weeks? In the meantime, I completed a 3-year training as a movement pedagogue and practiced yoga in some great, trendy studios in Cologne. At some point, the longing came to know the traditional Yoga, away from all this lifestyle - thing, the yoga classes with pop music background and the like .. And so I ended up with Yoga Vidya! Because there is really taught "hand-tight" yoga, with everything that has been around for a few thousand years, such as meditation and Vedanta. And I was excited !!! Is Yoga Vidya a sect? Clearly no! The first telltale note - no-one wants to buy money there in any way: quite the contrary, Yoga Vidya is a registered association and the seminars / training there are cheaper than almost anywhere else, and the first-class vegetarian / vegan full board in organic quality , Do Yoga Vidya take traditional Swami Sivananda yoga seriously? Clearly yes! And this includes Satsang and other practices that initially seem strange to uninitiated Central Europeans. But all this is learned in good time and openly in advance, and can still decide for or against a seminar there. For me personally are people and clubs who do not want to market the highest bidding to the customer, and not depending on demand times this, sometimes represented that, but clearly drive their line, very personable. And the 4-week intensive training? Wow, that was an experience - I still rave about :). In fact, very intense - what the education does not offer in the long run, brings it back completely through the deep and comprehensive immersion in the yoga with all its facets (every day from 6.00 - 22.00 learns, practices and practices - with about 4-5 Std. Breaks a day.). Sounds exhausting, it is, but it's worth it ... and I've never slept so well as during the yoga teacher training in Bad Meinberg. Nevertheless, I do not want to miss my movement-pedagogical basic education;)! So, my conclusion: highly recommended - if you are open to it.

Fantastische Erfahrung: This Ashram has something for everyone- whether you´re looking for some relaxation or you´re spiritually inclined, the wide variety of different offers is remarkable. And- the food is very good and rich!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Yes! I can highly recommend Yoga Vidya Horn-Bad Meinberg if you are in any way looking for more meaning in life. You can physically recover through the yoga classes that you can choose according to your level. The food is great ..... a plethora of choice and mega delicious. The nature is so wonderfully spacious that you can be alone with the house on the walks if you want it. It's a bit like an open yoga university - you can pursue all interests until the natural path that best suits your own being emerges. You will always come back enriched. A great team. Everything very helpfull and loving. Satsang (fellowship with other seekers) and regular singing sustain a sustained high and pure vibration. Do it !! Om Shanti - Giza

Fantastische Erfahrung: It's a beautiful place to do yoga, I'll have to come see you more often

Fantastische Erfahrung: A top travel destination in Germany! Anyone who has enjoyed traveling outside (other countries, city trips, extreme tours, etc.) can travel inside here. Caution: The invitation offered on site can be exhilarating and overwhelming :)

Fantastische Erfahrung: Thank you that such a place exists and to all those who carry it and keep it alive. Everything clean, well thought out, lively and in flux. All yoga teachers are well trained, mindful and with themselves. We look forward to coming back. Greetings Namaste!

Fantastische Erfahrung: My husband and I recently went to Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg for a week for the first time. My mother-in-law has been coming here with her friends for years and I've only heard good things from others too. For us it was a life changing experience! In contrast to many conventional yoga studios, here you get to know yoga as a holistic and versatile practice consisting of asanas, meditation, mantra chanting, spirituality and much more, instead of as a pure form of movement. The selection of offers is very diverse and can be adapted to individual needs. All the teachers we had lessons with were very personable and highly professional. The food comes in the form of a buffet in the mornings and evenings, is very fresh, delicious and, with a few vegetarian exceptions, vegan, which made me very happy as a vegan for many years. Everything is very clean, including the rooms. These are set up simply, which helps maintain focus. Keep in mind that this is not classic trend minimalism. In my opinion, this is not necessary at all. I have decided to become a yoga teacher. Yoga Vidya contributed significantly to this. My husband and I are really looking forward to our next visit!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Beautiful ashram, pleasant people, professional teaching and delicious food ‍♂️ Namaste

Fantastische Erfahrung: To practice and learn yoga That a beautiful place. The Satsangs are heart-opening and I am very happy to be able to come here

Fantastische Erfahrung: A place of inner contemplation to find oneself and to discover one's being. Many offers help you to discover yourself or to relax.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Absolutely recommendable ❤ A wonderful association with wonderful yoga practice. I can only wholeheartedly recommend anyone to visit the Yoga Vidya Ashrams. I have never felt so much love and kindness anywhere else. Yoga Vidya has become a part of my life that I no longer want to do without. It keeps you healthy and fit and is just fun

Fantastische Erfahrung: I completed a week course at Yoga Vidya. My teacher was the Savitri Retat and she's just great, I'll be happy to do other courses with her too. But Actung, this intensive course is really intense, better be prepared for it! I can only say good things about the house and Yoga Vidya as an organization. There is a very colorful and large selection of courses and hours, if you want to develop there is opportunity, help, support, conscience, trust and experience. I can only recommend visiting Yoga Vidya! Thank you for Sukadev Bretz, I am happy to get to know the house, it is like an oasis for the soul after long and stressful times! Shanti

Fantastische Erfahrung: Last week I was there for the first time and I really slowed down and was able to put my everyday life aside. A wonderful time in which I was allowed to simply shut down and take a lot with me for my life. I would love to come back and will recommend you to others. Thank you so much for this wonderful place

Fantastische Erfahrung: Toller Ort mitten in der Natur, super leckeres und gesundes Essen und liebenswerte Menschen.

Fantastische Erfahrung: A nice place to feel good and to get to know other perspectives, with loving and understanding people. Even in this remote time they do a lot to convey and help their values ​​and ways of life. Thank you that you exist.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Sehr gute Seminare und Ausbildungen zu günstigen Preisen in einer tollen Atmosphäre :) Ich liebe diesen Ort!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Huge and comfortable complex with plenty to offer. Clean and really well organized.

Fantastische Erfahrung: A wonderful place for relaxation, pure yoga and relaxation. Many daily offers that are sometimes more, sometimes less spiritual. So that everyone can choose according to his state of health. There are house rules to follow and belong to the philosophy. Various yoga classes, different meditations, workshops or lectures u. A .. Big building complex that you have to find your way around first. There are info points or good maps. In addition, a large park belongs to it with further hiking trails. Top price performance! Caravan places are available. Two times a day rich food buffet offer. Vegetarian cuisine, sustainable. Delicious! Very clean everywhere, simple equipment, but sufficient, if one deals with the offers! Constantly water or tea at leisure. Beautiful drawings distributed everywhere. Many pictures and statues. Seminar rooms all radiate a comfortable atmosphere and have all the equipment at hand. Yoga mats, pillows, blankets, small wooden benches, seats with backrest. Common rituals such as satsang are a beautiful experience! Even for children there are offers. In the immediate vicinity there is a swimming pool with sauna. All in all a great destination for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the yoga world. If you come there for the first time, it all seems huge and is sometimes confusing, but you find yourself in and quickly comes to rest physically and physically. Have fun!

Fantastische Erfahrung: I completed my 4-week yoga teacher training in this wonderful ashram atmosphere in August / September 2019 and I am glad that my decision was made on Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg :) The training made me grow personally and spiritually, I was able to deepen my own practice and listen to the inspiring lectures by my nice and competent training managers. I spent the whole 4 weeks in the dormitory. The accommodation is spartan and simple, but I felt very comfortable. Don't expect a "newfangled luxury yoga retreat center". Yoga is traditionally taught in its entirety. And about the food: for me there is nowhere better food :) Whole-food, mostly vegan and always delicious! I will gladly come again!

Fantastische Erfahrung: The whole Yoga Vidya facility makes a very neat and cozy impression from the outside. If you then see the yogogists doing their exercises, then the thought comes to you: Here you also want to join in, get rid of all the stress and ballast, calm down and come back to yourself! I will definitely use this invitation next year!

Fantastische Erfahrung: A place of strength for yogis and not yogis either! The Yoga Vidya community with its rituals can be a deterrent for one or the other, I think it's important that you still get involved in everything and do it while being comfortable. Nobody forces you. The energy that prevails in this place should not be underestimated. So many great people who create something together. A community!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg is a large yoga center. There are ongoing courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced as well as training courses. Hatha yoga is taught in the tradition of Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda. This is an integral yoga style in which both physical exercises and relaxation techniques are taught alongside spiritual exercises.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Here is some information that may help you: Directions: - If you travel by train, you will be picked up free of charge at the Horn-Bad Meinberg train station - simply contact reception 2 days in advance. Otherwise there are numerous car parking spaces in front of the center. Place: - Quiet location, orchard to relax, forest in front of the front door (circular walks possible)> I recommend good shoes and possibly longer clothes. Overnight stay: - I was in a double room in the third building (chakra pyramid). The rooms are kept very simple. But there was enough storage space for clothes and suitcases in the room. - Take towels (you can get them cheaply otherwise), a hairdryer and hand soap with you. - If you want to get some sleep in the morning and have a good night's sleep, then I recommend you take a couple of earplugs with you. Yogis get up early and like to sing in Satsang :-). But don't worry, the windows are very well insulated! Yoga program: - Very diverse (see picture) and mainly spread over two buildings. In the middle building, people mainly eat. - The walkways stretch a little. So plan well :-)! And: you don't always have a roof over your head from A to B. In bad weather, a rain jacket or umbrella can help. - Take comfortable slippers with you to walk comfortably from A to B. - In the yoga rooms it can be fresh from time to time> take a personal thin blanket (it is also available on site), a couple of socks and a closable DRINK bottle with> open drinks are not welcome in the yoga rooms. You can refill water for free outside the yoga rooms. You can also have hot drinks at the free tea stations. Eat: - Breakfast is not served. But it has fruit. - Lunch between 10.45 a.m. and 12.00 p.m. Fine vegan / vegetarian buffet> There is no such thing as the "classic" dessert. also jam or a sweet porridge. For chocolate lovers: the in-house boutique also sells chocolate (special opening times). - Dinner: from about 5.45 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. - You can only find coffee in a certain place! WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS: - It has, but only at the boutique / "Café Maya". People: - Empathetic and helpful.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I was here for 10 days as part of an apprenticeship. This place has something magical to be immersed in. Who expects 5 star luxury hotel style will be disappointed. Anyone looking for a place of change and inspiration with wonderful vegetarian and vegan organic dishes, friendly, helpful people and countless opportunities for yoga and spiritual practice will definitely feel good!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Sorry, they misspelt horn-bad meinberg, its horn GUT meinberg!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Calm, friendly, filled with positive energy. A special place you have to experience for yourself.

Fantastische Erfahrung: One sets a starting point with courses, weekend courses. This is an inspiration that you continue in your everyday life at home. It is in the ashram for everything taken care of, they are simple rooms but they show how little you need to live. Of course I have my problems with so many people and the bustle. But over the years I have found places in the ashram and outside where I find peace for spiritual practice. I'm looking forward to the next visit.

Fantastische Erfahrung: An oasis for all senses I spent 1 week at Yoga Yidya, and really enjoyed it. In search of meaning and spirituality, Yoga Vidya has exceeded my expectations. I was worried about the ratings ('sect' 'you have to attend the events' ... etc ...). That was absolutely not the case! It is up to you to decide which events to attend. The offer is also very very broad. It is also said that you can make the best of it, if you follow the recommendations. That's exactly the point: if you as a layman get involved in it, you can better immerse yourself in the yoga culture. It also felt like this was being lived honestly. Our course leader, Gaudi, was wonderful. I was afraid that this would seem to me to be 'esoteric', but Gaudi has clarified the lectures in a loving, experienced and down-to-earth way that everyone could follow. Her yoga lessons were great! I finally understood what yoga exercises are all about. Everything went smoothly, despite the amount of people and activities. The only about stressful were the short times in the canteen. Longer hours would help. The vegetarian food was very delicious, varied and prepared with love (even for me as a non-vegetarian). All in all, a relaxing week that really opened my eyes. Thank you! I'm thinking of coming back.

Fantastische Erfahrung: Place of relaxation, yoga. Beautiful, energetic. Loved it

Fantastische Erfahrung: Yoga Ashram

Fantastische Erfahrung: I was there recently for the exam weekend (post-qualification 2-year certificate). It was great again - as always :-)). I really have very, very good experiences every time I am there (I know the houses in Bad Weinberg and in the Westerwald). THANK YOU. I am already looking forward to the congress in November. And maybe I'll treat myself to the flow yoga training. Thank you very much for your work!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Wonderful relaxation. Sensitive masseurs, calm and pleasant surroundings. Wide range of applications. I can only recommend! Tip: book in advance of your stay as there may be scheduling bottlenecks.

Fantastische Erfahrung: I have found my way there! The best vacation ever! Thank you!

Fantastische Erfahrung: Largest yoga and seminar center in Germany. Year-round comprehensive range of seminars of all kinds. Also ideal for a relaxing yoga holiday in Ashram atmosphere. Especially suitable for families. Very good child care and cheap prices. Great vegetarian organic cuisine. Accommodation either single room, double room, shared room, dormitory, camping or in your own caravan. Integral Yoga after Swami Sivananda. It is also possible to spend longer time as an assistant for food and lodging.

Fantastische Erfahrung: For me the number one for a yoga life in Germany. Whether for a weekend, a longer seminar or even an apprenticeship. Accommodations range from the luxurious single room to the campground. Great kitchen and great people !!!

Fantastische Erfahrung: ... whether for a few days yoga holiday or for one of the many extensive training and further education highly recommended. Great food, vegetarian / vegan whole foods, nice people, a place to find peace and quiet and still be in the middle of life. I am always happy to be there.
