5 Elements Retreat in Gasteinertal - find your element

What's it about?

Five Elements Retreat - Discover your Element A journey through the five elements of TCM Which element defines you - and how can you bring your energy back into balance? The five elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine - wood, fire, earth, metal, and water - describe how energy flows in the body and how we can strengthen our inner balance. In this retreat, we approach the elements through movement, touch, and experience. Each session combines TCM-inspired yoga, visualization, self-applications, and Shiatsu. Step by step, we delve deeper into the energetic connections of the five elements and also explore the question of one's own element. The morning sessions begin with TCM-inspired yoga, which activates the meridians and makes the respective element tangible in the body. A short visualization journey then leads deeper into the quality of the element, before we work with self-applications and short partner sequences. In the afternoon, we deepen the respective element through Shiatsu practice and theoretical impulses. A shorter yoga sequence prepares the body before we delve more intensively into the energetic connections of TCM and the question of one's own element. Between sessions, there is enough time for nature, spa, or winter activities around Bad Hofgastein in the beautiful setting of Das Alpenhaus Gasteinertal.
