Nurturing Your Essence
– Retreat
NURTURING YOUR ESSENCE – Meridian-Yoga, Yin & Sound
Step away from the noise and into a weekend of rest, reconnection, and deep nourishment.
Join us at the peaceful Seminarhaus Taubenblau for a soulful retreat devoted to coming back to yourself. Through grounding practices and heartful presence, we’ll gently peel back the layers of daily life and create space to breathe, feel, and soften.
Together, we will explore:
• Meridian-based Vinyasa Classes to awaken and energize the body, guided by the rhythms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, supporting harmony and energetic balance
• Nourishing Yin Yoga and immersive Soundbaths to soothe the nervous system and invite deep release
• Journaling, workshops, and quiet reflection to deepen your connection within
A special part of our weekend will include a workshop on Meridian Theory and the practice of self-acupressure, where you’ll learn simple, supportive techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine to bring balance and awareness to your own body’s energy pathways.
Throughout the retreat, you will be nourished with lovingly prepared, homecooked mealsmade from organic, seasonal ingredients. Vegan options will be available, and we’re happy to accommodate dietary needs with care and intention.
This retreat is a soft landing — a space to move with intention, to listen inward, and to restore your natural rhythm. Whether in dynamic flow or restful stillness, you’ll be supported in nurturing your essence, just as you are.
Surrounded by nature, warmed by community, and held in a space of gentle presence — this is your invitation to pause, breathe, and return to your center.

Her deepest passion lies in the gentle unfolding of Yin Yoga. Integrating meridian theory and acupressure techniques, Matthäa creates space for quiet exploration, energy flow, and deep rest. Since 2023, she has been guiding Yin Yoga teacher trainings, sharing her love for thismindful practice.
