Advent Yoga Retreat Above Lake Walen
Three nights of morning flow, evening Yin yoga, mountain downtime and an Advent brunch in the Glarus Alps.
Why it caught our eye
The retreat offers a clear, unhurried rhythm: active mornings, restorative evenings and generous time to enjoy the mountain setting.
About this experience
Step out of the pre-Christmas rush for six 90-minute yoga sessions at Seminarhotel Lihn, high above Lake Walen. Yvonne Gabriel leads stronger, opening morning flows and quieter evening Yin practices, with long pauses for rest, winter walks or time alone between sessions.
What you can expect
Begin with yoga before dinner on Friday. Saturday brings morning flow, free time, coffee and cake, then evening Yin. Sunday includes yoga, an Advent brunch, a guided yoga walk, more free time and an evening class. A final morning session and breakfast close the retreat on Monday.
Good to know before you go
Teaching is in German and no previous yoga experience is needed. The package includes three nights, half board, six 90-minute classes, snacks and drinks in the yoga room, Sunday Advent brunch, a yoga walk, and Saturday coffee and cake. Single-room packages start at CHF 594; local visitor tax is extra. Booking is by inquiry.
