about the retreat
The retreat is designed to purify you from the inside out within a short period of five days without any harsh detox measurements like fasting or an enema. The purification process is pleasing and pleasant, but effective. It is based on three pillars: nutrition, movement and purifying treatments like foot baths and shiatsu.
Time to escape from your daily grid. Time to get away from habits and things that drag you down, that aren’t good or even toxic for you and your health. Time to reset and time to recharge so you can return to your daily life purified, reconnected, full of motivation and knowledge about how to retreat and do good to yourself regularly.
HOLON Purifying Retreats are kept in a small format to ensure an individual approach, atmosphere and warmth. They are a connecting experience, yet intimate and individual at the same time. Join the group and take the time to do good to yourself, to reconnect, purify and get back to your natural, full glow.
meet THE Teacher
It has been 14 years since Laura Posdziech attended her first yoga class during her studies in Berlin. Laura started with Bikram Yoga and continued with Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga before she met her long-term teachers Bianca Machliss and Simon Borg-Olivier. They are disciples of B.K.S. Iyengar and, as practicing physiotherapists, link up traditional yoga with modern-day scientific insight and a tremendous knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
Laura’s style of yoga and teaching is based on Hatha Yoga, a movement-based yoga system promoting health and longevity, and she has been tremendously influenced and inspired by Bianca Machliss and Simon Borg-Olivier. Thanks to the knowledge and insight they have conveyed to her, especially their holistic expertise in the fields of anatomy and physiology, Laura is able to design individual yoga sessions and practices adapted to meet personal needs: from pregnancy (pre- or postnatal), to recovery from an injury, improving strength and flexibility and as a getaway, transporting one into a realm of well-being and serenity. Laura approaches the practice of yoga as a form of therapy. To ensure an individual approach, atmosphere and warmth, HOLON Purifying Retreats are kept in a small format, hosting four to a maximum of ten participants.
Purification is not only in the name of the retreats - it is at the nexus of it all.
Why? Because we are all exposed to toxins in varying degrees - be it in the form of food additives, smog, radiation, bad habits, an unhealthy work-life balance or a toxic relationship.
We are all pretty much in the same boat with this situation: for all of us, it is challenging to stay away from all these everyday toxins on a daily basis. This is why it is crucial to consciously withdraw from time to time and change your perspective to identify the toxins in your life trying to purify from them as effectively as possible so you can soar high instead of being dragged down.
In the end, we all know that we only feel, look and, above all, are as good as we do good and are good to ourselves.
HOLON Purifying Retreats are based on three pillars, all of which contribute to a pleasant but effective purification: movement, nutrition and treatments.
There are three yoga classes every day, each conceived to promote purification through movement diving deep into the physiology of your body, triggering a release of toxins. The morning session is smooth and flowing, gently awakening the body and then revving it up to full energy levels. The midday class is an effective power session, while the evening class begins with an intense surge and then settles you down, soothing and preparing you for the evening hours.
about the LOCATION
Das Rosso is a remodelled farm house situated in the area between Munich, Stuttgart and Zurich in the middle of the Allgäu.
When Christian Müller bought the place at the beginning of 2018 it was a little farm and barn in need of renovation. Müller had a vision and he put it into practice over the next one and a half years. He opened Das Rosso, a holiday lodge away from the beaten tourist path, in 2020. It has been dubbed the "farm of possibilities" alluding to what Müller created here as well as to the opportunities that this place offers to all its guests.
With its warm and hospitable architecture, interior, special aura and its location nestled in nature, Das Rosso definitely is a space to open up individual possibilities.
In what used to be a barn, there is now a warm, spacious living room with an open fire inviting guests to relax, linger, create or do nothing at all. Next to the sofa and armchairs, there is also the long wooden table where we will be spending time enjoying wonderful, healthy and delicious meals and conversations.
Right next to the living room, separated by a round wooden door, is the yoga studio. A room offering plenty of silence and space to get away from old movement patterns and discover useful new ones. The large natural pool, filled with biological spring water, is the perfect cooldown after a sauna or yoga session.
