All times are local to Trogen (Europe/Zurich, CET). Current normal prices are CHF 895 in a double room or CHF 985 in a single room; four nights, three vegetarian meals per day and the full programme are included. Travel is individual and not included. The early-booking rates ended on 30 September 2026. No final registration deadline is published, and the live form currently offers both room types. The organiser page and form are in German; no explicit spoken-language statement was found.

Close the year with a structured residential practice at Seminarhaus Lindenbühl in the Appenzell hills. Urs Anandaratna Keller and Ewa Gyanshakti Heusser lead Hatha yoga, pranayama, Yoga Nidra, meditation, mantra chanting and guided reflection in the Satyananda tradition.
