ALPEN.KRAFT.SELFNESS:
The five pillars of health
This is ALPEN.KRAFT
ALPEN.KRAFT.SELFNESS are based on five solid pillars of vitality and energy. Each of these cornerstones has a particular focus, but they all have the same goal: to reconnect with yourself, rediscover your inner being and develop your full potential. To do this we must let go, relax, unburden ourselves and free ourselves from the things that hold us back. Only then can we enjoy life to the full.
Awaken inner strength
The five pillars – DETOX, DESTRESS, RESTART, YOGA and MAN.OF.NATURE – draw people closer to themselves and closer to nature. They offer a conscious and authentic retreat from everyday life. Each pillar exposes another way to restore harmony and discover our strengths. Awakening our inner strength in all its facets is the goal of the five pillars of ALPEN.KRAFT.SELFNESS.

The five pillars of health
The human body has excellent memory recall. Similar to the rings inside a tree trunk, the body records the months and years of neglect. We mistreat it and it bounces back, picking itself up again and again, but one day, when the stresses and strains become too much, it will become tired – both mentally and physically. That is when it is time for a break: we must give our bodies a chance to break free from the clutches of everyday life and realign. ALPEN.KRAFT.RETREATS combine movement techniques and meditative methods from around the world with cleansing, detoxifying treatments and diets based on Alpine nature. Holistic treatments to cleanse body, mind and soul – gentle, beneficial and long-lasting.

We need to get rid of stress, blockages and negative energy regularly, quickly and efficiently on a physical and psychological level. Slowing down is therefore an important aspect of ALPEN.KRAFT destress retreats. Forest bathing, hiking, meditation and Pranayama all have one thing in common: they are all performed slowly and consciously. They ease tension, teach mindfulness and lay the foundation for refocusing.
Deeply relaxing treatments are combined with light Alpine cuisine to stimulate the senses without placing strain on the body. The objective is to reconnect with the self – in peace and movement, alone and together, and acquire the tools needed to create pockets of calm and solitude in day-to-day life, as well as build resilience for stressful situations

Identify and change old behaviour patterns, remove mental and physical blockages, overcome fears and doubts. And focus, even when another fork appears in the road or the path takes a sudden, unexpected twist. Whether physical change, mental adjustment or a new career path, this process takes place on every level: mental, physical and emotional.
Focusing on just one of these levels tends to result in failure. Therefore, a restart is holistic and requires a combination of different techniques to guide us on every level. The ALPEN.KRAFT.RESTART experts adjust their approaches to the needs and goals of each individual participant. Is it time for you to restart? To set a new goal?

It enables us to face life head on, overflowing with new energy on every level. As the body moves, so does the spirit. Even though we tend to focus on the physical exercises, Asanas are only a small part of what this philosophy and teaching can offer. In its original form, Yoga is not simply about exercising the body – this is just the means by which to know ourselves and achieve a higher state of consciousness.
The breath is a key element; Pranayama is perhaps the oldest form of breathing therapy. The exercises aim to make us aware of our unconscious breathing, exerting an active influence and gently changing unconscious behaviour patterns. ALPEN.KRAFT.YOGA focuses on the entirety of the practice of Yoga and how to use it on the retreat and beyond.

Numerous studies show that nature has a significant impact on our health. Spending time in the forest calms the heart rate, lowers blood pressure and relaxes muscles. Feelings of exhaustion, tension and stress also dissipate. A higher tree density even reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. This is because trees and forests activate our bodies’ killer cells – the cells in our immune system responsible for finding and destroying diseased or infected cells.
The MAN.OF.NATURE retreat is designed to bring people and nature closer together, understanding both in their entirety, reducing stress in a lasting way and enabling a conscious and authentic retreat from everyday life. Boost your health, revitalise in Gastein’s spiritual power spots, take a break from the daily grind with outdoor meditation, and experience the connection between humanity and nature.
