The retreat

Three days for you

A weekend of calm, nature and new energy awaits you, a small break to pause and come back to yourself.

Daily yoga, mindful forest bathing and small moments of self-reflection make room to move your body, quiet your mind and take in nature with all your senses. Shared meals and a tea ceremony round off the weekend. In between there is plenty of time for you: the sauna, writing, an afternoon nap or simply doing nothing. Everything is possible, nothing is required: you decide what you join and when you take time for yourself. Arrive, breathe out and give yourself the time you deserve.

    Six sessions (Hatha & Vinyasa) with Isi, with pranayama breathing exercises.

  • 2xForest bathing

    Two sessions with Elgin, slowing down with mindfulness and perception exercises.

  • 1xTea ceremony

    A meditative moment together, in silence.

  • Sauna

    Soothing warmth after forest bathing.

  • Healthy full board

    Breakfast, a light lunch and dinner on site.

  • 3Nights

    At Kranichhof Mescherin.

Isi & Elgin

  • Yoga teacher and breathing trainer

    I discovered yoga in 2013. What began as a balance to everyday life quickly became a deep connection to movement, breath and inner calm.

  • Anti-stress trainer and forest bathing guide

    I know the feeling of always having to function, at work, in the family or everywhere at once. For over ten years I have supported teams in large organisations as an agile coach and trainer, and I know what pressure feels like in everyday life.

Portrait of Isi

Isi

Yoga teacher and breathing trainer

I discovered yoga in 2013. What began as a balance to everyday life quickly became a deep connection to movement, breath and inner calm.

To deepen my practice, I completed my 200-hour yoga training at Spirit Yoga in Berlin in 2015. Since then it has been my joy to share my enthusiasm and experience with others.

In my classes I combine dynamic, strengthening flows with calm, grounding elements. Breathing exercises and pranayama are an important part of this, to bring body and mind into balance.

On a trip to India in 2026 I deepened my knowledge with additional pranayama training. These experiences still flow into my teaching, and I look forward to sharing them with you in the daily yoga classes on the retreat.

Elgin

Anti-stress trainer and forest bathing guide

I know the feeling of always having to function, at work, in the family or everywhere at once. For over ten years I have supported teams in large organisations as an agile coach and trainer, and I know what pressure feels like in everyday life. I have learned that people above all need clarity and orientation, not more pressure.

Today I pass this experience on as an anti-stress trainer and forest bathing guide, because I am convinced: we can perform well without losing our aliveness. Nature is my personal anchor. In the forest I show you how to slow down: with all your senses, a pinch of humour and simple exercises you can easily take into your everyday life.

The venue

Kranichhof Mescherin

Mescherin, Uckermark

Kranichhof Mescherin lies in the Uckermark, right on the river Oder, at the edge of the Lower Oder Valley National Park. Around the wide grounds you find meadows, water and a deep quiet, and with a little luck you meet the animals of the river meadows. The rooms are cosy and individually furnished, and the new sauna with a view of the green invites you to warm up and relax. You enjoy full board, with meals freshly and lovingly cooked every day by the owner of the house from regional ingredients, vegetarian, vegan or suited to your intolerances on request.

Knochenwinkel 2, 16307 Mescherin

FAQ

Good to know

How do I sign up?

With the form on this page. You choose your room and tell us what to keep in mind. We then send you a personal confirmation. If your room is no longer available, we get in touch and look at alternatives together.

Can I join without staying overnight?

Yes. You can book the retreat with meals only, without staying overnight. Please contact us personally for this.

What is forest bathing?

Forest bathing means walking slowly and mindfully through the forest and taking it in with all your senses, to find calm and recharge. Elgin guides both sessions.

Do I need anything in particular for the yoga and forest bathing?

You need no previous experience, in yoga or in forest bathing. You should bring a basic level of fitness, because even in winter we spend several hours outdoors in the national park, partly on uneven paths. In yoga we offer variations of every exercise, so you can adapt them to your pace and any limitations. If you have health questions, please talk to us beforehand and we will work out together whether the retreat suits you.

When and how do I pay?

You receive all payment details with your confirmation.

What if I have to cancel?

Life cannot always be planned. If you have to cancel, please tell us as early as possible and we will find a fair solution together.

Do I need to bring anything?

A few things make your stay even more pleasant:

  • For the sauna: flip-flops and a bathrobe. If you have no bathrobe, you can borrow one on site for 5 €.
  • For yoga: comfortable clothes you can move well in. Mats and blocks are there. If you prefer your own mat, bring it along.
  • For the forest: warm clothes in layers and sturdy shoes. It is often cooler in the forest, and in forest bathing we move slowly.
  • For you: if you like, a journal or notebook for your thoughts and impressions.

And most important: yourself, with curiosity and a wish for a break. That is all it takes.

How do I get to Kranichhof?

Getting here is easy. The nearest station is Schwedt (Oder). We run a shuttle from there: on arrival we pick up at two fixed times, and on departure we take you back to the station at two fixed times too. So that we can share everyone out across these trips, we agree the times with you before the retreat. Please call us in good time for this. If you come by car, you can use the public car park in the village. From there it is about a 20-minute walk to us, a lovely way to start arriving.
