Women’s Yoga Weekend by Lake Lucerne

The clear weekend rhythm balances guided practice with meals, rest and time by the lake, and the organisers explicitly welcome both beginners and experienced participants.

Step out of everyday routines for a weekend of yoga, meditation and spacious time by Lake Lucerne. Sandra Haydon and Vivianne Kammermann guide a varied programme at Seehotel Waldstätterhof, with movement, rest, a sensory walk and optional pelvic-floor information and check-in. The group shares two nights, breakfasts and evening meals, while the hotel spa and lakeside setting leave room to unwind between sessions.

The retreat begins with yoga on Friday afternoon and Yoga Nidra after dinner. Saturday combines morning meditation and yoga, a short pelvic-floor talk with an optional individual check-in, a sensory walk, another yoga class and a shared dinner. Sunday closes with meditation, yoga, mantras and Yin Yoga before the final circle.

The CHF 850 fee includes two nights in a shared double room, breakfasts, evening meals, refreshments, spa and fitness access, parking and all retreat sessions. Travel, visitor tax, extra food and drinks, treatments and room upgrades cost extra. Register by email through the organiser; the full amount is due on booking and bookings are non-refundable, although a substitute may be named subject to a CHF 100 administration fee and any rebooking costs. The German-language retreat is for women and needs no previous yoga experience. The organiser asks participants to be in good physical health and a stable psychological condition, to disclose relevant conditions and to seek medical or therapeutic advice when appropriate.
