AntarYatra, meaning “inner journey”, is a traditional yoga retreat set in the heart of the Swiss Alps, offering a sacred space to slow down, reconnect, and turn inward ✨. Surrounded by mountains and silence, this retreat invites you to explore yoga beyond the physical practice, through meditation, philosophy, sound, mantra, and time in nature 🌲.
Over four days, we weave together different yoga styles, meditation 🧘, pranayama 🌬️, yoga philosophy 📖, Ayurveda 🌿, sound baths 🎶, and devotional practices such as bhajan and kirtan 🎵. The retreat is designed as a holistic inner journey supporting grounding, self-discovery, and spiritual growth.🕉️ Yoga sessions take place in a serene, light-filled space with a unique octagonal shape, inspired by Feng Shui and harmonic principles. Large windows open onto the surrounding landscape, creating a strong connection with nature 🌄. A sprung floor and flexible layout support both dynamic movement and deep rest, while an adjoining terrace allows practices and quiet moments to extend outdoors ☀️.
🙏 During the retreat, you are welcome to visit the nearby Temple of Unity, a place open to all spiritual paths. Since 1982, it has welcomed meditations, rituals, bhajans, and kirtans rooted in universal spirituality. The space is available for personal reflection and silent meditation throughout your stay.
⛰️ Located at 1,100 meters above sea level, the retreat center is nestled in a peaceful mountain environment, ideal for breathing deeply, slowing down, and reconnecting with yourself through nature 🌬️.
