Yoga Vidya is Europe's largest non-profit association around yoga, spiritual growth and health well-being with yoga and Ayurveda seminar houses in Bad Meinberg, in the Westerwald, at the North Sea and in the Allgäu. He makes millennia-old... knowledge ("Vidya") in the sense of the six traditional yoga paths Hatha-, Kundalini-, Raja-, Jnana-, Bhakti- and Karma Yoga usable for the western-oriented person. The experience of oneness and connectedness is at the center of interest. The first Yoga Vidya center was founded in 1992 by Sukadev Volker Bretz in Frankfurt am Main. As a yoga seminar provider with around 240 association members actively working in the seminar centers, interested parties have the choice of over 2,900 seminars and training courses annually on the topics of yoga, meditation and Ayurveda. At Germany's leading yoga teacher training institute, more than 20,000 participants have already successfully completed their yoga teacher training. The seminar house in Bad Meinberg, the main location of the association, is one of the largest German educational institutes and at the same time a spiritual place of power near the Externsteine. Around 120,000 overnight guests practiced yoga here in 2019, and the trend continues to rise.

I am fulfilled and deeply touched by the entire stay. The seminar exceeded my expectations and I left full of impressions and highly motivated. The variety and quality of the thematic and spiritual offerings of the house is unique.
A thousand thanks to everyone involved.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind words! It fills us with joy to hear that the seminar exceeded your expectations and left you with a wealth of positive impressions. See you next time!
Gauri prepared herself very well methodically and didactically for us participants in "Fundamental Yoga" and made the course very lively. She explained the necessary steps for practicing at home very clearly, so that I can deepen and extend the stability I achieved in the course. She supported and encouraged us in every way with tips from her wealth of experience.
I thank her from the bottom of my heart! Ilona Sperling
Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the design of the course and that you were able to deepen the necessary steps for practicing at home. Your praise means a lot to us and we look forward to welcoming you back to one of our seminars soon.
Christiane de Jong taught us a lot and I was very happy with the content.
Only in my sister's room there was mold in the bathroom, which should be removed. Room 323.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear that your introduction to Yin Yoga was so successful and felt like a gift to you. It's really nice to hear that you enjoyed the experience. Thank you again and hope to see you soon!
Positive:
- good, empathic teacher
- the yoga classes were fine
Negatives:
-Rooms: dogs were barking right next to the room. And another class was listening to loud hip hop music, both of which were counter-productive to finding relaxation in yin yoga
- Didactics of the teacher not good. Simple questions were not answered and the common thread of the theory was sometimes not recognizable. What is stress? How do the asanas relate to those from hatha yoga?
- Sometimes too much talk about nothing, a lot of time wasted
- It would be great to set up a dining room where people who want to eat in silence can do so.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We are pleased that you found the teacher empathetic and that the yoga classes were okay. We are sorry to hear that the space was disruptive and that the teacher's didactics were not always clear. Your comments are important and will help us to improve.
We think the idea of a dining room for those who would like to eat in silence is great! We actually have a smaller dining room reserved especially for this need. Next time you can eat there in peace. Thank you for your feedback, we hope to see you again soon.
Basically, I am very satisfied. I just don't get on well with incense sticks because they make it difficult for me to breathe and there's some fragrance in them that I'm allergic to.
Thank you for your constructive feedback. We are pleased to hear that you are generally satisfied. We will look into the matter of the incense sticks. Thank you for your openness.
The yoga for endometriosis seminar was so enriching and heart-filling for me! The exchange among women, the loving implementation and Gopika's contribution of knowledge were simply great! A very, very important seminar for us women with endometriosis! I would attend again and again. Thank you
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. It's great to hear that you had such a positive experience of the exchange between the women and the loving way in which it was conducted. Such feedback means a lot to us and motivates us to continue offering relevant and inspiring seminars. Thank you again and hopefully see you soon at one of our next seminars.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are very pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the speaker and the food. We hope to see you again soon at one of our seminars!
This seminar gave me the opportunity to try things out and I learned a lot of new things. It challenged me, but not overwhelmed me. Ananta is a great seminar leader and yoga teacher. His humorous and warm way of teaching really inspired me.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We are very pleased that you were able to try out new things in the seminar and were impressed by Ananta as a seminar leader. His warm manner makes learning so much more enjoyable. We hope to welcome you here again soon!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the seminar with Ananta and had a refreshing stay at Yoga Vidya. Your positive feedback means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you back for more inspiring experiences in the future.
There were many yoga teachers in the course who were much more advanced than me. It would be good if the courses were organized more according to level.
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. It's great to hear that you've joined in with so many experienced yoga teachers. We appreciate your suggestion to structure the courses according to experience level and will work on it. We hope you had some inspiring moments despite the challenge and look forward to supporting you in future classes.
I attended a NVC seminar with Krishnadas for the second time. When I think back on it, I am happy, inspired, fulfilled, grateful and motivated and want to continue to apply the content of the seminar to my everyday life. The seminar was very enriching and entertaining for me. My needs for inspiration/learning, further development and being seen, but also for peace, movement and laughter were fully met!!!
Thank you very much for your enthusiastic feedback on the NVC seminar. It fills us with joy that you gained positive impressions. Your words about happiness, inspiration and motivation are particularly valuable to us. We hope that the impulses from the seminar will enrich your everyday life.
I feel very comfortable and accepted. There is a wide range of offers and it is always a very good and intensive time for me. I can take many aspects of my everyday life with me and realize that I can continue to develop. I am very grateful for that. Everyone is very helpful and tries to support you very attentively with everything.
We are delighted to hear that you feel so comfortable with us and are enjoying the variety of our offers. It's great to know that you can work intensively for yourself during this time and experience personal development. We are grateful for your positive feedback.
With Swami Nirgunananda and Rukmini we were blessed with 2 very accommodating retreat leaders. The group was great and the meditations deep and silent. The Shivalaya is a true celebration of inner peace for any meditation lover. Always happy to come back :)
that sounds like a wonderful experience at Shivalaya! We are happy to hear that you have such positive impressions of your retreat. The deep meditation and peaceful atmosphere are certainly a gift for anyone who loves meditation. It's great to know that you would like to participate again. May this inner peace and spiritual experience continue to resonate in your life. Thank you for sharing your positive experience!
The ashram in Bad Meinberg is a wonderful place. Here it is made possible for many people to reflect on themselves and to deal with the meaning of life and the search for spiritual peace and inner contentment. This is hardly less important nowadays than it has ever been. People need such offers and places to make our world peaceful. The Shivalaya Meditation Retreat makes a great contribution to finding inner peace and facing personal issues, looking at them and resolving them in a healing way. The framework program supports this perfectly. The high-quality organic food, the friendly and spiritual atmosphere and the beautiful surroundings (hiking trails, adjacent large park) round off the stay perfectly. The ashram is indeed a very spacious campus, a large three-part building complex, in which you first have to find your way around. But all in all I can and will recommend this place to everyone. The seminar receives my complete satisfaction!
Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback about the ashram in Bad Meinberg and the Shivalaya meditation retreat! We are happy that you find the ashram a wonderful place that supports people in their search for inner peace and contentment. Your praise for our offerings and the friendly, spiritual atmosphere means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back soon.
Team Westerwald: you could post a little more on social media ... about dates ... from you on site ... the area is so beautiful ... with you there is so much to see. On the Internet there is not so regular news ... we found it great with you and would like to come back!
Your food is great - and everyone is very nice. It was really pleasant.
thank you very much for your feedback! We are glad that you enjoyed it with us. Your suggestion to share more about our dates and the region on social media is great. We will take care to share news and impressions regularly. Glad you liked our food and think our team is nice. That means a lot to us. Hope to see you again soon!
