Yoga Retreats in Austria

Your yoga escape in Maria Alm in the Austrian Alps

Take a deep breath. Let your shoulders drop a little. At the HOCHKÖNIGIN in Maria Alm, yoga, wellness and time to yourself come together with views of the surrounding mountains. At the foot of the Steinernes Meer, you will find a special setting for your yoga holiday in the Austrian Alps – down in the valley, yet wonderfully close to the peaks.

As a hotel guest, you can join a complimentary yoga class every Tuesday and Thursday as part of our activity programme. Advance registration is required, as places are limited.

Would you like to devote more time to your yoga practice? On selected weekends, the HOCHKÖNIGIN hosts multi-day yoga retreats in Austria, led by experienced instructors with different areas of expertise. Each retreat is available as a separate package, combining yoga with wellness, gourmet cuisine and relaxing days in Maria Alm.

Depending on the weather, sessions take place in our light-filled yoga studio or on the panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding mountains.

Yoga for beginners and experienced practitioners

From Vinyasa Flow to Yin Yoga

Every body is different. And sometimes even your own body feels a little different on Monday than it does on Thursday. That is why our yoga programme is suitable for beginners as well as guests with previous experience. The styles offered depend on the current activity programme and the individual yoga retreat.

During our multi-day retreats, experienced instructors such as Katja Bienzeisler, Lisa Epe, Jeanette and Katrin Frank guide you through their individual approaches and areas of expertise.

• Vinyasa Flow: Fluid, dynamic movements consciously connected with the breath.
• Yin Yoga: Calm, longer-held postures supporting flexibility, relaxation and regeneration.
• Hatha Yoga: A balanced combination of physical postures, breathing and conscious relaxation.
• Sound healing and meditation: Sound journeys and mindful periods of rest that help you slow down and let go.

You will find the detailed programme, instructor and recommended experience level directly with each retreat package.

Yoga equipment for your stay

Mats, bolsters and blocks by hejhej

You can leave your yoga mat at home. Mats, bolsters and blocks by hejhej are available free of charge for your yoga classes and retreats at the HOCHKÖNIGIN. This means less luggage and everything you need for your practice waiting for you on arrival.

The equipment supports dynamic flows as well as gentle Yin Yoga sessions and restful relaxation practices.

Looking for something comfortable to take home? Selected yoga clothing by MEY is available in our hotel shop – for yoga classes, relaxed holiday days and the time after your stay.

Wellness and gourmet cuisine at our yoga hotel in Austria

Relaxation that continues after yoga

The feeling of wellbeing does not end with the final sun salutation. At our yoga hotel in Austria, you can combine your practice with wellness, gourmet cuisine and plenty of time for yourself.

The QUEEN SPA offers a 17-metre infinity pool, an outdoor whirlpool, an indoor pool and comfortable relaxation areas. Saunas and steam baths provide soothing warmth, with the sauna areas reserved for adults. The adults-only TIARA SPA offers an additional rooftop retreat with a relax pool, Finnish sauna, elegant relaxation rooms and sun terraces overlooking the Steinernes Meer.

If your muscles are asking for a little extra attention, treat yourself to a massage or beauty treatment. The HOCHKÖNIGIN ¾ gourmet board takes you from breakfast and the afternoon QUEEN SNACK to a six-course gourmet dinner. A vegan menu option is also available.

This is how a yoga class becomes a complete escape – with movement, relaxation and the pleasant discovery that slowing down can taste rather wonderful too.

Yoga in Maria Alm in the Salzburg region

Yoga, hiking and wellness around the Hochkönig

The HOCHKÖNIGIN is located in the valley of Maria Alm, at the foot of the Steinernes Meer. Meadows, forests and mountains surround the hotel – wonderful to look at and even better to explore. This makes it an ideal base for guests wishing to combine yoga and hiking in Austria.

In summer and autumn, the operating mountain lifts take you comfortably up into the surrounding landscape. Rides on participating lifts are complimentary for hotel guests with the Hochkönig Card. Panoramic trails, welcoming mountain huts and beautiful viewpoints await at the top. Afterwards, return to yoga, wellness and gourmet cuisine at the HOCHKÖNIGIN in the valley.

A yoga retreat in the Salzburg region has its own special appeal in winter too. Snow waits outside, your yoga mat waits inside – and the sauna may well be next. A particularly pleasant kind of balance.

A yoga holiday in the Austrian Alps combines movement and relaxation without scheduling every minute of the day. You decide whether today calls for yoga, hiking, wellness or simply doing nothing at all while enjoying the view.
