A Mindfulness and Yoga Weekend in Engelberg
Three days with Stefan Geisse at St. Josefshaus, with gentle yoga, meditation, workshops and time to yourself. No previous experience is needed.
Why it caught our eye
The balance is practical: guided sessions, workshops and unstructured time sit together in one weekend. Accommodation and meals are included, and the gentle practices are expressly open to beginners.
About this experience
This residential weekend with Stefan Geisse combines gentle yoga, breathing and meditation with workshops on everyday stress and personal patterns. You stay at St. Josefshaus in Engelberg, with two nights’ accommodation and vegetarian full board included. The programme leaves room for walks, reflection and an optional personal conversation, alongside the group sessions.
What you can expect
Stefan Geisse facilitates the retreat. Friday is for arrival, introductions, dinner and a first relaxation and meditation practice. Saturday combines gentle breath-led yoga, meditation, a workshop on mindfulness and personal patterns, free time, an optional monastery tour and an evening practice. Sunday brings another morning practice, reflection, a closing session and lunch before departure. No previous yoga or meditation experience is required, and the gentle exercises can be adapted.
