Body & Mind

At Engel Obertal, being active and slowing down belong together quite naturally. Yoga, qi gong, tai chi, Pilates, meditation and other Body & Mind sessions make room for mindful movement, renewed focus and moments that are entirely yours.

Body & Mind

Between activity and inner calm

Some sessions strengthen and mobilise, others deliberately turn your attention inwards. Our changing Body & Mind programme brings together yoga, qi gong, tai chi, Pilates, breathwork and different forms of meditation. None of it is about performance. It is about becoming more aware of your body, clearing your head and finding your own rhythm. You do not need any previous experience.

All about Body & Mind

Body & Mind

The right session for every moment

Powerful or gentle, focused or flowing. Different methods let you choose exactly the practice that suits your day and your own pace.

Yoga

Calm yin yoga sits alongside more dynamic styles. Each one connects conscious movement with breathing and concentration.

Qi gong & tai chi

Flowing, mindfully guided sequences unite body and breath and invite you to arrive fully in the present moment.

Pilates

Controlled exercises strengthen the core and build stability. With them comes a finer awareness of your own posture.

Time for yourself

A moment that stays with you

Start the day mindfully in the morning, find fresh focus somewhere in between or wind down for a while in the afternoon. Body & Mind creates small islands in the day when nothing matters but your own body, your breath and the present moment.

Body & Mind at Engel Obertal

The session ends, the stillness stays

After yoga, qi gong or meditation, the moment need not end straight away. Perhaps you head on to Wolke 7, go for a swim or simply step out into the Black Forest. That is how a single session becomes part of your break, and mindful time for yourself becomes a feeling that carries you through the day.
