A retreat for restoring hormonal balance with Yoga and Ayurveda in Brandenburg's scenic Schörfheide
Hormone health thought holistically: Yoga & Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, the ancient holistic Indian medical knowledge (translated as "the knowledge of life"), health is based on 4 pillars: lifestyle (vihar), nutrition (ahar), sleep (nidra) and energy management (brahmacharya). .
In the various Ayurvedic workshops and yoga sessions, we devote ourselves to these 4 pillars from the perspective of female hormonal health, so that each participant can build their own foundation for female health and adapt it to their own needs.
Individual appointments or Ayurvedic consultations are also available upon request (at an additional cost).

Accommodation
Simply “being able to be” is part of the holistic concept at Naturhaus Schorfheide. This includes a natural environment in the sense of healthy living, healthy exercise and healthy, natural food.
The rooms are designed as charming little farm rooms. Each room has its own character and invites you to relax thanks to its simplicity. In total there are three and a half shared bathrooms and two atmospheric lounges as well as a wood-fired sauna.
The yoga/seminar room is a 6 meter high, light-flooded room and the heart of the nature house. The outdoor terrace also offers the opportunity to move yoga and workshops outside.
Nourishment
The daily menu aims for balance and equilibrium: honoring the connection between the ingredients and the earth; a balance between tradition and innovation, health and enjoyment. Seasonal, as local as possible, deeply nourishing and full of joy.
Location
The Schorfheide impresses with its spaciousness and breathtaking sunsets. The forest borders the three edges of the village and is ideal for walks - the Schorfheide is part of the UNESCO-protected Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere reserve and the second largest contiguous forest area in Germany.
Getting to the location
The small village of Klandorf is located directly on the Karow – Groß-Schönebeck railway line. Klandorf is the penultimate stop.
If you accidentally drive to the final station, no problem: the train returns to Berlin in a few minutes. On Fridays at 2:27 p.m. or 3:27 p.m. there is a train from S-Karow that arrives at Klandorf station at 3:04 p.m. or 4:04 p.m. On Sunday at 3:15 p.m. there is a direct train connection to Berlin.

Meet your teacher
Linda Köper
Linda is a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic yoga specialist and yoga therapist for hormone balance.
Due to her own hormonal problems (amenorrhea), she began to delve deeper into the hormonal system more than 15 years ago. A few hundred cycles and further training (including Ayurveda for (perio-)menopause and hormonal yoga) later, she is of the opinion that we women should do more to improve our problems naturally and, above all, should do one thing: talk about it!
