  Definitely recommended!!!

  If you are looking for well-led and authentic yoga classes, super good food and a beautiful environment, this is the place for you! The yoga classes take place in a very nice room, with a view of the sky and nature, through an extended winter garden. The lessons are very well adapted to different previous knowledge and needs and the teacher creates a nice feel-good atmosphere. The retreat is surrounded by a beautiful forest and lots of nature to explore. In the "free time you can use the sauna or discover the beautiful surroundings. A big highlight is the food! There was an influence from different countries every day and there really is something for everyone! Super delicious!!! There is also a snack bar that always provides you with delicious and healthy snacks. Definitely recommended!!!

  "Wonderful experience "

  It was my 1st meditation retreat and did not really know what to expect. The whole program was wonderful, a great mix between meditation time and relaxing time. Ytamar is a beautiful soul and gave us an astonishing introduction to meditation. Eran, the owner, took very good care of us and is an amazing cook. The vibe and the people I met there, was just what I needed. I could not have asked for something better, everything was perfect. Thanks a lot, Ytamar and Eran for everything.

  My long weekend in Gaia

  I wanted to clean my head and nourish my soul. This why I came to Gaia. One long weekend of pleasure, yoga & meditation, great company from all over the world and great food. Eran, the owner of Gaia is also the boss in the kitchen, cooking exactly the food I like with much love and attention. He has qualities of a guru, so if you want to talk to him you should visit him in the kitchen while he is cleaning at the end of the day ;). I will come again! :). See u again :)

  Restorative time, highly recommended!

  Following a year of many changes and challenges, this yoga retreat was exactly what I needed. Being the first retreat I have attended, I was not sure what to expect but felt excited about the change of scenery.
  
  I was warmly welcomed by Eran who was kind enough to fetch me from the bus station. The retreat house is located on a hill next to a small forest which means the yoga studio also has a view of trees, it is wonderfully relaxing. Eran's cooking was definitely a highlight - with a continuous variety of vegan food and everything with so much flavour.
  
  Bea's yoga was very different to what I do in my daily life, much slower and an emphasis on stretching and holding the poses. For the context of the retreat, it was great to slow down and reconnect with my body this way.

  Amazing experience! My first Retreat ever...

  As a newbie to meditation/yoga, I was looking for an authentic retreat that would really teach you what meditation and yoga actually are and where they came from. Quite apart from the hype about the topic on social media, which never felt honest to me.
  
  With Gaia, I hit the bullseye here. The location, the house, the host, and our meditation teacher were more than authentic. The house is so lovingly furnished, you feel right at home, which is really remarkable. The environment is fantastically situated in nature.
  
  The food and the catering were indescribably good - I have never eaten such delicious fresh vegan food (I'm not vegan). Our host Eran has a very special energy - he was always there for us and treated us like his own family. And on top of that, we got an amazing introduction to the subject from our meditation teacher.
  
  I couldn't even meditate for 10 minutes before. After the retreat, it was easily 45 minutes at a time.
  
  I will definitely come back & would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you Eran & Ytamar for this beautiful experience! 🙏

  The perfect escape to unwind and reset

  I came away from my visit to the Gaia retreat house feeling fully rested and recharged - exactly what I had hoped to experience.
  
  Eran was the most gracious and generous host. He picked me up from the bus station on arrival, treated us all with delicious vegan creations throughout the whole retreat (including a meal to go for the trip home) and also provided us rich conversation.
  
  Gaia house is warm and inviting, and it has all the facilities you need for a relaxing getaway, including a sauna. It sits within a calming landscape and the window from the dining room is like looking into a postcard. We were lucky to experience the first fall of snow for the season, and there was plenty of free time to go outside and enjoy the hills and walking tracks. It was well worth stepping outside in the evening for the most stunning view of the stars I have ever experienced.
  
  If travelling from the north of Germany, I would recommend driving rather than using public transport because there we many change overs and connections.
  
  Bea's yoga practice was very nurturing, and she has a calming and open way about her. She would describe each Asana in great detail, and holding them for longer allowed you to really benefit from relaxing deep into the stretch. The classes had a lot of variety, the schedule was perfectly balanced with physically challenging and more meditative sessions, depending on the time of day.
  
  Being a native English speaker, I felt very at home and was able to fully unwind, and I truly enjoyed my experience.

  Absolutely amazing

  I had the greatest time in Gaia retreat house. The house is located next to beautiful nature in a village area which was great as you had the feeling that you can really disconnect from civilization and all what come with it. Very cosy house with beautiful yoga studio with a view outside, was really relaxing. The teacher bea was very professional and with great personality which made the yoga sessions really enjoyable and special. Eran the host was cooking great vegan food, it was so good , we couldn’t stop praising it. He hosted us with much love and openness which made us feel very much at home. Just the perfect place to heel and relax and give your body and mind everything it needs. totally recommend it.

  Calm the soul and enjoy the best vegan cuisine

  I joined a four-day Yoga Retreat at Gaia. This was a transformative experience thanks to the great design of owners Eran and Anat. I made friends, calmed my soul, enjoyed the best range of vegan food I have ever eaten, jumped on the trampoline, got out of my comfort zone at yoga, and fell asleep during meditation. A great experience!. Gaia doesn't aim for luxury, but instead provides comfortable, clean and relaxed rooms with shared facilities. I enjoyed it so much I plan to take a seminar group to Gaia in the future.

  It was an amazing experience

  I could not recommend this highly enough. I had never been to a yoga retreat prior to visiting Gaia and chose this one based on the great reviews. It deserves all of the 5-star reviews it has.
  
  I am not vegan (or even vegetarian) and none of the other guests when I attended were either but we all were in love with the food. I was nervous about being hungry - but it was impossible to be hungry in that house. Eran was an amazing chef and made sure all dietary restrictions were accounted for.
  
  Bea was the yoga instructor when I attended and was an absolute delight.

  8 - 11 September 2022, Meditation Retreat

  This retreat was wonderful. Each retreat has been unique for me. I have now been on retreat there there threes times. The instructions they have come in have been great in providing wonderful and valuable programs. This instructor took us on nature walks as part of his program. The yoga and meditation sessions were also special to me. I always learn new things. This retreat had a focus on meditation. I went to this one to expand my practice and learn more to bring to my students. The retreat coming up later this month focus on yoga. The vegan food is absolutely fabulous and does great things for the body and soul. I highly recommend the Gaia Retreat House to all my friends that are interested in yoga and meditation.

  Medicine for the soul

  I had a few fantastic and transforming days at Gaia Retreat House. Richard and Eran made me feel at home right away. The Qigong movements and meditations was very powerful. The food was amazing. I also really enjoyed the company of all the participants in group. The powerful movements and meditations in combination with Richard, Eran and all the participants love and ability to hold space made me able to process some deep trauma and open my heart more. Thank you so much!
  
  Love and gratitude

  Unforgettable

  That was exactly what I was looking for: an amazing runaway from a big city noises, routine and stress. I met an amazing group of open minded and curious people and we had a deep yoga, meditation and chanting journey.
  And a special place here is for mentioning an outstanding vegan food cooked by Eran the owner. It was so soaked with love that I now can claim knowing how the Love tastes.
  Gaia House Germany is the place where I would love to come back.

  Amazing time!!

  Taking some time off and going to Gaia was one of the best decision I had this year. I completely disconnected from the world and had an amazing time surrounded by people with good energy and being feed with the best vegan food I ever had. The place is equally special, perfect location and beautiful wooden house where you can listen to the birds all they long. And I can’t review Gaia without mentioning Eran, the greatest vegan Chef and a perfect host. Gaia is the perfect place in case you need to take some time for yourself, you won’t regret, I guarantee you.

  Feeling at home with love

  It was definitely an amazing journey of staying at Gaia for a 4-day meditation and yoga retreat. It was my very first retreat and I had no idea what it would look like and whether I would like it but Gaia and Eran prove to be one of the best choices that I have ever made. Gaia makes me feel at home immediately upon arrival and the vegan food and people are full of love. Even for me as a non-vegan eater, I still enjoy every part of it. I would be more than happy to come back again soon and can only highly recommend to someone who is looking for a peaceful and refreshed mind and feeling loved :)

Sowohl Eran, Bea, Sven und Richard wie auch die Teilnehmenden waren super nett, achtsam im Umgang miteinander und auch der Spaß kam nicht zu kurz. Vielen Dank für diese tolle Erfahrung.

  Thank you all for a wonderful experience

  I absolutely love the Gaia Retreat House! This was my second retreat here. The vegan food, by Eran is fabulous! It did good for my body and even relieved inflammation from a previously sprained ankle. The yoga instructor, Bea conducted wonderful classes and gave me tips and ideas for the yoga classes I teach. The Qigong by Richard and music by Sven were very nice additions to the retreat. Thank you all for a wonderful experience. 😊🙏❤️
