BERND WINDHOFER
Bernd has been teaching yoga and its sister meditative and contemplative arts since 2005, having practiced deeply and daily since 2001. His passion for teaching is helping all who wish to dive deep to find their way to a life that becomes more magical, profound and meaningful every day.
Expect to be challenged and sometimes pushed into the proverbial river, but always with kindness, and never without paddle and life jacket.
7 GATES - A VOYAGE INTO YOUR BODY
The majestic path of the Yogi is offering us a guided tour into the inner wonders of the body, buzzing with prana, vayus, chakras, and all manner of other denizens of the deep spaces inside us.
Most of us have a very simplistic understanding of our bodies, and often have not even felt a tiny fraction of what is there to be felt. It’s time to change that!
Yogic posture, breath, and meditation work serve as the backbone of our explorations. Incredible home cooked, healthy food, crystal bowl sound healing and other little adventures along the way serve to propel you into the world of the body - finally unlocking all its gateways into the true mysteries and wonders of life.

stay at borgo san sicario, piedmont, italy
Nestled on a plateau of dreamy meadows, filled with wild flowers at 1.700m altitude, among unspoilt forests. San Sicario is a tiny 16th century hamlet, where life follows the slow pace of once upon a time. The open plains grant you panoramic views wide across the mountains, valleys and the magnificent Mount Chaberton with its 3.200m peak that lies just across the valley.
