Empowering the Feminine
5-day spring yoga forest retreat in the Odenwald region with Grace Farmer, Marta Palombo and Yanina Prenzlau
Enjoy the beginning of spring with us on a 5-day/4-night retreat at our yellow yoga retreat location Gebhardshütte in the deep forest of Odenwald, about 1 hour from Heidelberg. You are accompanied by 3 of our regular yellow yoga teachers, Grace, Marta and Yanina, who will lovingly support you with their experience and hold various vinyasa, hatha, yin and restorative yoga classes each day. Besides yoga, the forest retreats have many other wonderful things on offer: breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation, sound journeys and massages, talking and singing circles, sauna and campfires! Retreat time is a time for transformation and (self-)healing, a time to recharge your batteries, a time for yourself – and a time together, in a wonderful community. We are looking forward to welcoming you! We are looking forward to meeting you!
In recognition of International Women’s Day, we gather to embrace the feminine within us all, through embodied exploration and energetics. Beyond polarised identities and binary constructions, we will recover the fullness of life that is present between chaos and structure, giving and receiving, holding and being held. There is a great power within the feminine, that is often misrepresented and misunderstood. Our intention is to clarify and reclaim the feminine power in each of us. Under the last new moon of the winter season, Grace, Yanina and Marta will guide you through movement, meditation, ritual and conversation, in yellow yoga’s beautiful community home in the Odenwald forest.

Refund policy
yellow yoga is a non-profit project and we do our best to offer the lowest price possible and we rely on the commitment of all participants. Reserving your space is binding and the amount paid cannot be refunded in case of non-participation or cancellation of the course. However, the place can be transferred to another person if the participant is prevented from attending. The participant would then have to arrange this themselves and provide us with the contact details of the other person by email. For this type of cancellation/replacement, yellow yoga charges a processing fee of 20.00€. This option is only possible up to 4 days before the retreat (replacements on such short notice mean a lot of re-organisation of transport, invoices, accommodation, etc.).

About the yellow yoga Gebhardshütte
In the middle of the Odenwald – near the Nibelungensteig – Claudia, the founder of yellow yoga, came across the beautiful Gebhardshütte together with her family a few years ago. Until then, the Gebhardshütte had been a hostel for pilgrims and hikers. Slowly but steadily, over the last 3 years, it has been growing into a cozy retreat center. The Gebhardshütte is deeply hidden in the forest, far away from the noises and chaos of the city. It has a beautiful and large garden, a spacious farm kitchen with a guest room for 28 people, many quiet spaces, several balconies, lovingly designed rooms and a small meditation room for up to 16 yogis. The décor, with its vintage furniture, is simple yet tasteful, authentic yet familiar. The place was maybe not created with a lot of money, but instead with a lot of care and love for our yellow yoga community. Our yoga forest vacations are community retreats and thus follow the principles of karma yoga, i.e. we cook together and everyone helps out. In this way, we can offer each and every one of you a longer and deeper retreat experience even at a low budget.
