Yoga & Fasten im Kloster Waldbreitenbach in Detail

Your Yoga & Fasting Journey

Would you like to take a few days off, get moving, relax, regenerate, reduce stress, and meet friendly people? Then this Detox Retreat is just right for you! At this retreat, you'll relax not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. Yoga and various forms of fasting or vegan-based diets are ideal combinations to find specific solutions for everyday demands, detoxify, and rejuvenate the body. Hiking and other physical activities complete the programme.

A week of fasting or just eating a basic diet while staying active - is that possible? Is it not quite crazy? Not at all - on the contrary! It's quite crazy to spend the whole week in the office and/or in front of the TV, not moving and still eating! At least, that's how our ancestors would have seen it. Our bodies are much better adapted to movement and little food in the long term than the other way around. Yoga deals with the whole person and consists of body and breathing exercises as well as meditation. During this retreat, you will practice Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Sukshma Vyayama. The Heart Chakra Meditation is a combination of movement to meditative music followed by a rest period.

Location & Surroundings

On the edge of the Westerwald, just an hour's drive from the bustling centres of Rhine-Main (Frankfurt) and Rhine-Ruhr (Cologne), the Rosa-Flesch Conference Centre offers an extraordinary setting for the fasting seminar. Perched above the Wied Valley, against a monastic backdrop, this hotel breathes a Franciscan spirit. Here, you can recharge the energy needed to meet everyday demands. The village of Waldbreitbach, with its idyllic location in the Wied Valley, is known as a popular excursion destination and for its nativity exhibition and Christmas lighting during the festive season.

Dining & Leisure

In our program, you can freely choose your detox method, tailored to your well-being, allowing you to omit certain elements or add extra snacks as needed.

Detox Fasting according to Dr. Buchinger

The Dr. Buchinger method involves a modified fasting regime where solid food is avoided. The body fully transitions to a fasting metabolism, primarily utilizing stored reserves (fat and protein). You will consume juices and broths (each ¼ litre) as well as water and tea. All body cells enter a protective mode, breaking down deposits and regenerating degenerative cells.

Detox Vegan Alkaline Fasting

Interval Vegan Alkaline Fasting refers to a dietary regimen that almost entirely excludes proteins. Only predominantly alkaline-metabolized foods are consumed. In this vegan alkaline therapy, the body does not fully switch to fasting metabolism. Instead, it undergoes a deacidification treatment, enhancing well-being and health. This retreat follows an intermittent fasting concept with a minimum 16-hour food break. You start the morning with tea (and fruit if needed) and from 11 a.m., enjoy homemade alkaline porridge with fruit and/or vegetables and salads. Dinner at 6 p.m. includes soup, vegetables, potatoes, dips, and/or alkaline bread.

Mimicking Fasting (Pseudo Fasting)

Pseudo fasting means the body receives a scientifically precise composition of food that delivers the highest possible amount of micro- and macronutrients without the body recognizing it as food intake, as the relevant metabolic pathways remain deactivated. Thus, despite daily solid meals, the body stays in a fasting metabolism. Daily calorie intake ranges between 800 and 1150 kcal. Additionally, the diet incorporates intermittent fasting and spermidine-rich foods to further stimulate autophagy (cell cleansing).

Wellness & Spa

Enjoy relaxing moments in the classic Finnish sauna, gentle warmth in the infrared sauna, and tranquil times in the stylishly designed relaxation room – a place to let go, breathe deeply, and recharge. As a participant in the fasting courses, you have free access to the entire area. Additional pampering moments are provided by masseuse Cornelia with individually tailored treatments. With great empathy, she addresses your personal wishes and needs – for your very own wellness experience (payment on site).

Yoga

Yoga takes place in a charming, historic church that no longer houses prayers but exclusively opens its doors for special events. The charm of the old walls and the sublime silence of the space create an extraordinary atmosphere that elevates the yoga experience to a new, inspiring level.

Educational Leave

This retreat is recognized as educational leave in Saxony-Anhalt, Hesse, Thuringia, Brandenburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse, and Saarland. Additionally, some of the dates are also recognized as prevention courses. Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hotel rooms at a glance

The educational house of Waldbreitenbach Monastery was renovated in 2012 and reopened under a new name in a former residential area of the sisters. You will be staying right in the former quarters of the sisters, within traditional walls. Naturally, the 23 rooms meet the latest standards but are designed in deliberate simplicity to continue the monastic tradition. Each room is equipped with a shower/WC, underfloor heating, wardrobe, satellite TV, safe, desk, hairdryer, and Wi-Fi. Rooms on the front side offer expansive views over the Wiedtal and those on the back overlook the tranquil garden of the sisters. All rooms are allergy-friendly.

Perfect combination of relaxation and activities, which made fasting much easier.

The fasting yoga treatment was a great experience for me and I took away a lot of information and knowledge about fasting. Great lectures were given that contributed to a better understanding of how to eat healthily and consciously in combination with exercise in the future. I can only recommend this stay at the Waldbreitbach monastery if you want to regain your body-mind balance!

A few days all to myself

Very nice days and good care. A concept with hands and feet with the freedom to participate in all offers, but also to be able to withdraw if you want to

Extremely regenerative and caring support

The concept of combining fasting, yoga and hiking in a very pleasant group is pure relaxation for body and soul. The competent, caring and committed leadership gave valuable impulses without being dogmatic. The yoga teacher was highly professional and is second to none. The motto "Everything can, nothing must" is a relief. The accommodation in the monastery is comfortable and the scenic surroundings are very charming. I was completely satisfied.
