Yoga retreats in the mountains of the Alps
At the heart of Gastein’s yoga scene stands Das ALPENHAUS Gasteinertal, a long‑standing partner of the renowned yoga days in Gastein – Europe’s largest yoga festival held each spring and autumn. The hotel’s philosophy is deeply rooted in the ALPEN.KRAFT.SELFNESS concept, with yoga as one of its five wellness pillars, emphasizing holistic wellbeing through asana practice, Pranayama (breathwork), mindfulness, and connection to the alpine environment.
Guests benefit from a light‑filled yoga studio and an elevated yoga platform in the garden, both offering sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Whether the schedule calls for early morning Vinyasa Flow – awakening mind and body with mountain breezes – or restorative evening sessions, each class is designed to help participants release tension, cultivate presence, and foster energy from within.
All levels are welcome – from complete beginners to experienced yogis – making the experience inclusive and supportive.
