There was no food! The few leftovers that were still available were inedible. Because of the food alone, I avoid Bad Meinberg and prefer other ashrams. I consider the vegan concept to be an insult to paying participants. Basically, you have to plan on eating out, which makes Bad Meinberg very unattractive in terms of cost.

Yoga Vidya Comment from Yoga Vidya:
Dear Andreas, thank you for your honest feedback. 🙏 We are very sorry that you were so dissatisfied with the food and that this significantly affected your overall impression. We truly regret this. Our vegan concept is a conscious choice, but of course it should be high-quality, fresh, and filling. If this was not the case during your stay, then it does not live up to our standards. 🍲 We take your feedback seriously and will review internally what we can improve. Thank you for your feedback. 💛 Yvonne

It was one of the best seminars I have ever attended. Theory, practice—everything was superbly prepared and communicated. Both seminar leaders were extremely friendly and professional. They created a wonderful space at this workshop where everyone felt very comfortable and seen. Thank you very much 🙏🏼 OM Shanti

Dear Westerwald team, I would like to send a big THANK YOU to Alisa and all of you. It was a fantastic seminar from which I learned a great deal. Well-structured, rich in content, very good teaching methods, patient ;-)
I would love to book another seminar with Alisa right away—thank you for immediately responding to the participants' request for an advanced seminar. Due to school holidays, I will not be able to attend. Another thank you goes to the kitchen for the incredibly good food and to the house team, who made every area of the house shine and sparkle. See you soon!

It's always a dream to be at Yoga Video. It's a pleasure on all levels. Lovely people, great community, great program.
For me, this place is more than just a place to recharge. For me, it's a home. I have another idea on how to make this place even more beautiful. I would really like it if cell phones were only allowed to be used in the rooms. I sometimes find it disturbing to see other people using cell phones in the common areas. I am sure that some people would appreciate clear guidelines and enforcement of the rules, and that this would make the place even more attractive. I would also love it if the intermediate yoga classes were always like this. In some cases, they could be even more strenuous. I am looking forward to my next visit and am excited to see what changes will have taken place by then. Namaste, Felix

Kamala knows how to convey the topics with great joy thanks to her empathetic and motivating manner, enriching the exercises with her beautiful voice and ukulele accompaniment. A successful yoga experience and valuable exercises for at home. In addition, there is delicious food and beautiful North Sea beaches to relax on.

Unfortunately, a completely unstructured lecturer with little tangible knowledge. It degenerated into esotericism, when the material could have offered so much more. What a shame! Next time, I'll just come as an external guest and save myself the course.

I have been visiting Yoga Vidya for many years and really enjoy coming here. With the so-called supporting program and the seminar times, the day is packed until late. But since I know this and really appreciate and enjoy the spiritual atmosphere and the vegan organic cuisine, I am always very satisfied. Thank you to everyone.
The seminar "Enjoyable Vegan, Alkaline Fasting" was very informative, well structured, and presented with great enthusiasm by Christiane de Jong. Thank you for that as well. OM SHANTI Gitta Konrad

An all-round harmonious and enjoyable course, taught by a very friendly and knowledgeable instructor with extensive knowledge of Ayurveda. Perhaps the medical basics (anatomy of the shoulder and neck muscles) could also have been useful when discussing massage.
