Spirit Yoga in Berlin
Sophie began practicing yoga 15 years ago. Yoga became then an integral part of her life, to find a better balance. She never found so much strength and inner peace as on her yoga mat and is happy to be able to give this back in her classes. In 2019 she completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Spirit Yoga in Berlin and is about to complete her advanced 500-hour training. Her teaching is influenced by Vinyasa Flow, very precise and always connecting power and relaxation.

"An unforgettable experience in the mountains"
Outside of the amazing location of the mountains, the scenery, the beautiful air, the clear waters and fantastic accomodation the whole team at MoaAlm went out of the their way to create an amazing experience for me.
There is an excellent variety of yoga practices each morning, fantastic food and then amazing hikes all day. Sophie and Toby who run the venue have thought of every detail and are flexible around your plans/ideas. I spent the week learning, growing, meeting new people and left with a heavy heart. Fantastic and I miss it already!

"If you're wondering "Should I book...""
If you're wondering, "Should I book a holiday to MoaAlm?" then the answer is YES.
My visit was at the end of July/start of August and what an amazing week.
If you somehow require any further convincing at all then my recommendation is to answer the following questions:
1. Do you enjoy stunningly spectacular mountain scenery?
2. How about feeling energised and relaxed through expertly crafted yoga sessions?
3. Or invigorating hiking adventures, guided with care and insight to enhance the Alpine experience?
4. Or feeling effortlessly welcomed into calm, cosy and stylishly homely surroundings by a team that clearly love what they do?
5. And last but by no means least, do you like to eat outrageously delicious food and enjoy creative nourishing 3 course meals all prepared by a phenomenally talented chef?
Of course you do!
All of this and more was my wonderful experience during a first time visit to Austria.
A huge thank you to everyone I met across the week and an extra special shout to the whole MoaAlm team.

"Jack’s Review August 2024"
Where to start….the MoaAlm lodge was homely with extraordinary views from a beautiful terrace. The vegan food is delicious. Tobias, Sophie, and the Staff are very friendly and implement a relaxed culture of companionship and selflessness. They are very engaging and knowledgeable with the guests. The hikes are a workout but are well worth it with the picturesque views that aren’t found in too many other places in the world. The yoga is soothing. I really enjoyed my stay and was very sad to leave, but I’ll always smile at the memories :). Hopefully I can return someday

Ich hatte die schönste Zeit auf der Moa Alm. All meine Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Die Landschaft ist traumhaft, die Wanderungen total schön und das Yoga bietet den perfekten Ausgleich dazu. Das Essen ist unglaublich lecker, die geselligen Abende auf der Terrasse sind der genau richtige Ausklang.
Der perfekte Ort für eine unbeschwerte und schöne Woche!
Bis zum nächsten Mal! Jenny

"A week feeding body and mind"
MoaAlm liegt wunderschön, so dass man nicht nur auf den Wanderungen, sondern auch beim Yoga, Kaffee oder im Hottub die Berge genießen kann. Die Erfahung wird abgerundet durch den sehr netten Empfang und das wunderbare Essen. Insgesamt eine gute Balance zwischen Yoga und Wanderungen und etwas Zeit für sich.

"Incredible unspoiled nature! "
I don't ever write reviews, but was so impressed with my experience at MoaAlm that I must share! Everything exceeded my expectations, and I thoroughly recommend this retreat. I have already booked to go again...
The surrounding nature was beautiful, and the hikes were arranged to ensure we experienced a variety of terrains and covered different areas. The yoga was brilliant, Sophie gave excellent prompts and planned classes that suited our group. We also had the opportunity for restorative yoga with Georgia which was super after our hikes!
The breakfasts and dinners prepared by Denise & team were delicious and they are happy to cater to requests/allergies without any fuss.
MoaAlm itself is very cosy, spotlessly clean and the rooms are spacious and quiet. There are areas to socialise or space if you want a little peace & quiet.
Thank you for a brilliant stay and see you again soon! Jenny xxx

"Amazing place and people"
My week in MoaAlm was lovely, amazing location, views, people and delicious and nutritive food.
The yoga classes in the morning or in the afternoon were just what we needed before or after the hikes. Sophie, Toby, Ivana, Georgia and Denisa took really good care of us! I highly recommend staying at MoaAlm and enjoying the breathtaking views.

"Perfect mountain escape to reconnect with self "
The whole experience was incredible. There were different 5ish hour hikes and a 60 minute yoga class each day. The hikes were medium difficulty and absolutely gorgeous!!!!! The food at MoaAlm was delicious and vegan. However, there were many meals at local restaurants which had vegan options but weren't vegan. It was the perfect mix of organized activities but flexibility to spend some time alone if you want. I would recommend this to anyone!

"Apprehension turned to peacefulness"
I honestly could not have asked more from MoaAlm. Everything was so lovely, from the team, the location, the food, everything was more than I could have asked for.
The yoga, was Balanced enough for beginners and those who have been practicing a while. The instructors Sophie, and Georgia were wonderful in both verbal instructions, as well as helping physically. I’ve never experienced some of the peace and relaxation I did while practicing at MoaAlm.
The hiking, guided by Tobias, was fantastic, filled with knowledge, Both of the surrounding area and the wildlife led to some of the most memorable experiences. The views that I saw, while hiking were hands down breath taking.
The food at MoaAlm, I can not praise it enough, from the time you walk in the door you are treated with freshly baked goods, and every day after a hike, a new option will be waiting as well. Breakfast was simple and nice, and allowed a wider variety of diets. But the dinner, always blew my group and I away. Denisa truly is a artist in the kitchen, and she takes great pride in what she is presenting you.
I will be returning, not for any one simple thing, but it all just works together so well, I was truly a little heartbroken when I had to leave.

"Wonderful trip: would highly recommend."
This was a trip of a lifetime. The scenery is breath-taking and completely rejuvenating. The activities are very well-organised and cater for all experience levels. The yoga sessions are led by different teachers on different days which means a varied practice. The food is delicious, with gourmet-level presentation whilst being very healthy. Finally, the people were all wonderful - the hosts were so friendly and willing to help with any and all queries as needed. Would highly recommend as an experience for anyone interested in hiking/ skiing/ yoga and the mountains - and even those who don't think they are, as this experience could change their mind!

"I loved my holidays"
I really enjoyed my one week retreat.
The room was an upgrade from what I was expecting, the views were to die for, yoga was varied with 3 different teachers that week, and every activity we did (skiing, snowshoe hiking) was highly enjoyable with the coziest huts to stop to for lunch. Also, the incredible hot tub!
I'm very grateful for everyone that was part of Moalm during that week. I'm very shy in general but you end up missing the dynamic and the dinners we had all together. Big thanks to Craig for teaching me how to ski and to everyone else that was part of the team. I end up feeling like it's not the last time I'll see the Austrian Alps.

"Amazing week in the Austrian mountains "
A week of fun and adventure in the Austrian mountains with a great group of people. The hosts were amazing and really took everything we threw at them, really kind and attentive. We were challenged every day with a new hike, snowshoe or ski but at the end of the day there was always a home made cake or a hot tub waiting for us! A true mix of great yoga, great food, and a great place with a fantastic attitude…thanks everyone!!

"A beautiful place"
I didn’t knew what to except for this trip, but I am very happy with what I got: a beautiful week in the mountains surrounded by nice people, good food, interesting adventures and welcoming hosts.
Everyday was a new adventure in a new stunning area. We got to hike with snowshoes, try out cross country skiing, normal hikes in lower altitudes, relax in an outdoor hot tub and on the day “off”, we toke the gondola to the top and enjoyed a good lunch with an amazing view.
I can only recommend going, especially if you like being active, enjoying fresh air and a healthy lifestyle.

"Truly wonderful experience "
From start to finish, I had the most amazing time. I had never been on a snow holiday before and the experience at MoaAlm was so good I can’t wait to go back.
Craig, Xania, Sophie and Toby were fantastic hosts, nothing was ever too much trouble. The activities were fantastic, well planned and executed. The food was heavenly. I found that Sophie’s yoga teaching skills and classes coupled with an amazing view of the mountains gave yoga a whole new dimension which gave me so much more of a connection with mind, body, soul and nature!
An incredible retreat. Would recommend to anyone looking for a truly fun filled activity and relaxing experience in the mountains.

"New Year 2024"
Moalm is an idyllic retreat in terms of the location in the beautiful Austrian Alps and the amazing comfort and facilities at the chalet.
The hosts and team are enormously welcoming, taking great care of their guests and serving the most delicious food every day. They’re also great fun to hang out with.
I practiced yoga daily in the lovely yoga studio with all the props with views of the mountains. I also had a wonderful instructor to refresh my very rusty skiing technique as well as learned how to cross country ski and snow trek with the chance to relax in the hot tub at the end of the day.
New Year’s Eve was a real treat with yummy food, a traditional film, bubbles, and lots of dancing.
All in all I’ve had both a relaxing and invigorating week escape and thank all the Moalm team very much.

"Amazing hiking and yoga experience "
I had a wonderful week at MoaAlm - the team were fantastic and their passion and love for the place shine through, and the group on the retreat were also wonderful, which really made it a very special experience. As a solo traveller it’s always a bit nerve wracking going on a retreat but this was a joy, I felt so welcome. The food was excellent, and the hiking was fantastic and the yoga so relaxing, energising and restful - I feel rejuvenated and also like I could have done another week!
Can’t recommend this retreat enough, and thank you so much to Sophie , Tobi and the team.

"A life changing experience!"
MoaAlm is a very special place, and it’s difficult to find the right words to describe how perfect it is but I will try! A gorgeous retreat nestled in the middle of the Austrian alps, MoaAlm has a positive vibe and energy like no other retreat I’ve ever been to. The meals were all delicious, the walks were picturesque and the team was wonderful. Sophie and Tobias are an incredible couple with so much wisdom and grace, it was lovely to hear their beautiful stories and they’re doing an amazing job managing the retreat.
As a solo traveller, I had the privilege of sharing the week with the most wonderful group of people that I can say will truly be friends for life. The experience at MoaAlm is like chicken soup for the soul - it’s the perfect week to reconnect with nature, to breathe in the fresh mountain air and to unwind. I’d recommend this experience to anyone and everyone, it truly is life changing! And I loved it so much I plan on coming back for the winter season 🩷

The hikes were incredible and it felt so good to be in the mountains - they’re absolutely stunning. The food was amazing - hats off to the chef! Not only was it delicious but the presentation was perfect, it felt like I was dining in a Michelin star restaurant. The service / hospitality and company was excellent. This was my first time doing a retreat like this solo and everything exceeded my expectations. The hosts were so welcoming and fun! There was a good balance between the hiking and yoga.

First off, the team members were very nice, helpful and supportive during our stay. I really enjoyed all the activities MoaAlm provided. You’re actually sleeping on the edge of a national park so the hikes you go to are really near and the nature beautiful. I also enjoyed the yoga classes even though I'm not averse to it. Also as a non vegan I was quite surprised that I really enjoyed all vegan meals we had. It’s 10/10 experience!

"Großartige Auszeit in unberührter Natur"
Wer Ruhe, Erholung und Abgeschiedenheit inmitten unberührter Natur sucht, und dabei in einem familiären, liebevollen Umfeld sein will, ist in der MoaAlm richtig. Sophie startet den Tag mit abwechslungsreichen, sensationellen Yoga-Einheiten mit Blick auf die aufgehende Sonne. Danach tolles Frühstück, bevor es mit Schneeschuhen oder Tourenski losgeht. Schneebedeckte Berge, traumhafte Almen und herrliche Stille begleiten einem den ganzen Tag lang. Geplant werden die Ausflüge mit Bedacht, abhängig von Witterung und dem Wunsch der Gäste nach mehr oder weniger Anstrengung, für jeden ist etwas dabei. Danach genoss ich den heißen Bath Tub im Freien bei Schneegestöber und fühlte mich wie ein Kind im Glück. Danke an das internationale, professionelle und stets um mein Wohl besorgte Team. Ich komme wieder, keine Frage ;-)

"Amazing Austrian Adventure!"
I absolutely loved the pace, vibe, yoga, location and structure of the retreat. It was perfect having flown from the US and jumped right into the mountain activities. Sophie and Craigs classes were a perfect complement of morning stretching and strength training... and Craigs nightly inversion and upper body stretching. I wish I could have had another night or two added to my stay. As Craig mentioned... once you settle in its time to pack up!

"Probably the best week of my life!"
I had an amazing time at MoaAlm. The location is at an altitude of 1800 so we had a lot of snow even though the weather got relatively warm (8 degrees on some days).
The food was very tasty and I completely forgot that it was vegan as it was tasteful.
I opted for snowshoe hiking on the first day and cross country ski the second day and then went snowboarding the last 4 days.
Thank you MoaAlm!

Super nette Gastgeber, Urlaub wie bei Freunden.
Nachhaltigkeit ganz groß geschrieben. Einzigartige Verpflegung mit super leckerem veganem 3 Gang Dinner, vegetarischem Frühstück, Verpflegung tagsüber.
Spektakuläre Wandertouren mit tollen Bergführern, Anstrengung individuell auf die Gruppe abgestimmt.
Unterkunft super ruhig gelegen mit bestem Ausblick über die Berge.
Saubere Unterkunft, Schöne Zimmer, Teeküche.
Yogaraum mit tollem Ausblick, etwas zu klein für die Gruppengröße. Hatha und Vinyasa Yogaklassen morgens vor dem Frühstück, eher entspannend als Ausgleich zum mehrstündigen Wandern.
Ich werde wieder kommen , danke für die wunderschöne Woche

"A little paradise in the mountains "
I absolutely enjoyed every minute spent at MoaAlm.
The combination yoga/ hike is great and allowed us to keep active during the day while enjoying beautiful views and landscapes.
The food is an absolute experience - nothing like basic meals as in other yoga retreats. The chefs are extremely professional and experiment with amazing creative vegan dishes.
The hosts Sophie and Tobi are super nice and friendly and they really go the extra mile for their guests - I haven’t seen such attention and care to the customers in any other retreats to be honest.
MoaAlm is truly a wonderful place with wonderful people and I hope I will go back there soon.

"Wonderful week in the mountains! "
MoaAlm is a fabulous place – I loved the house, it's tastefully furnished in a simple Scandinavian style and had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The food was fabulous, even for a non-vegan like me! I was really impressed with our breakfasts and 3-course dinners – so tasty (thank you, Boris!) – and it was lovely chatting around the long table with the other guests every evening, we had lots of fun. Our hosts, Sophie, Tobias & Andrea, looked after us so well and were super lovely and helpful. The hiking was challenging at times – not for the faint-hearted! – but the views were amazing and well worth the tricky climbs. A truly beautiful location. A highlight was relaxing in the hot tub with an Aperol Spritz in hand whilst enjoying the views of the snow-capped mountains and low cloud over the valley below... magical! Thank you for a wonderful holiday xx

In the week we stayed, morning and evening yoga sessions were offered on five days. Perfect way to start and round off the days of outdoor activity. The two instructors, Cat and Sophie, were excellent, balancing energising and restorative practices wonderfully. The yoga studio looks out onto a beautiful mountain panorama.
The staff were amazing: welcoming, fun and great company. They couldn't have done more to give their guests a great holiday experience.
The Moa Alm accommodation is lovely and homely. There are areas to sit back and relax, chat, read or just admire the view, including a great wood-fired hot tub.
Meals were top quality, shared around a big table with good wine and conversation flowing. Delicious afternoon cakes and a great array of pre-dinner cocktails.
We did snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing and day hikes. All were excellently arranged and led. Petra, the local guide, takes joy in educating about the national park's wonders.
A big thanks to all at Moa Alm who helped to make this such a happy and fulfilling holiday.

Moreover the team cares so much about the wellbeing of its guests without being pushy. They re-arrange the hikes and offer more yoga sessions if needed. The hikes were wonderful and the combination with yoga prevents any pain in the muscles. Not to forget the fantastic food the offer. It was a wonderful active and at the same time relaxing holiday.

- Ryan, Lottie and the rest off the staff are really nice, they did everything to make us feel comfortable and they still found their time to sit with us at the table and chat.
- The surroundings are just wonderful. The hikes were not easy, but the amazing views and the delicious food at the mountain huts were worth it ;)
- On our "day off" (no hiking), a lot of other activities were possible and organized by the staff.

Very welcoming staff, absolutely amazing views, super clean rooms (it is modest, but has everything you need), truly professional and very lovely hiking guide Petra (special thank to her!). I think, if I rate from the top to the flop I would say hiking tours guided by Petra were the best, then comes welcoming culture of the hosts, then location and very important food..and the flop is yoga (sorry guys, but there should be something done about it - see the other box with recommendations).

Alles. Vor allem die sehr sehr netten Coaches, Trainer und Inhaber. Jeder Service wurde möglich gemacht. Und das bei sehr abgelegener Lage und 1800 Höhenmetern. Top!

I loved the remoteness of the place and the shuttle service that was provided - no matter where we needed to go.

"just AMAZING!"
It was a memorable vacation. The staff was really nice, very helpful and attentive to details. I discovered plant-based meals with fantastic chefs, who were attentive to my intolerances so that I enjoyed all the menus! The activities were well organized allowing us to discover and enjoy the wonderful mountains, alternating with moments of pure relaxation that made this week fantastic. Despite being a novice in yoga practice, I loved having it every morning! I would go back immediately, I warmly thank all the people who helped make this holiday unforgettable.

"Everything I wished for and more! "
I loved everything about the holiday - from the location in some of the most beautiful Alpine scenery, to the peaceful yoga sessions performed in a studio overlooking snow-capped mountains, to the delicious vegan food, to the stunning night skies and to the amazing company - the staff did everything to really make me feel at home and I would not hesitate to return and hope to again very, very soon! I loved the freedom I had, being able to go and explore the surrounding area alone, being able to summit beautiful peaks and swim in pristine lakes but also having the option to go on the guided hikes, where I met some really great people, tried some local delicacies and learnt so much from Petra, whose knowledge of the surrounding area and wildlife is very impressive! Thank you MoaAlm for an amazing week!

"Wonderful hiking vacation "
The whole experience exceeded my expectation. I loved everything about Moaalm. The cottage is so magical, with the interiors and the backyard views. The team Ryan, Lottie, Lagita, Becca and Sukka are very friendly and fun and does everything to make us feel at home. The hiking guide Petra is a wonderful guide inside and out, and took good care of us throughout the hikes and selected different trails everyday. The yoga classes are wonderful and complement the hiking vacation. The daily cakes, coffee breakfasts and dinners are so good!! I can seriously go on and on about all the details i liked about this vacation. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who want to go on a hiking vacation.

The location is amazing with impressive mountain views and excellent access to a variety of scenic hikes. The hiking guide, Petra, is friendly, positive and very knowledgeable. The plant based meals were delicious and freshly prepared with local herbs and plants where possible.

"An idyllic week in the Alps"
I booked on to this retreat having just finished an extended period of academic study – much in need of a change of scenery and pace – and found an experience that far exceeded my expectations. Right from the beginning of the trip the staff ensured that we felt at home in the picturesque setting of MoaAlm, welcoming us with the first of many evenings of delicious food and good company.
Throughout the week Becca’s morning yoga classes, complete with breath-taking panoramic views of the Alps, provided an invigorating stretch before a day of hiking. During the guided hikes Petra entertained us with her wealth of local knowledge, guiding us to areas where we were able to spot Golden Eagles and Ibex, as well as taking on board the fitness levels of our group to guide us along some of the more challenging, but incredibly rewarding trails.
Even on the ‘day off’ the hosts Lottie and Ryan ensured that we each had the Austrian experience that we had hoped for. While others opted for paragliding I was given a lift to a local lake, enjoying a swim and the opportunity to sit in the sun and read a bit of my book before heading in to the picturesque town of Lienz for lunch.
The whole trip was incredibly well planned and I am very grateful to all of the staff for making the week such a special one.

The amazing food, the homely vibe of the place and the serene surroundings, all the interesting people, the lovely music being played in the lounge, the board games, the opportunity to see and experience the Alpine lifestyle, the relaxing and friendly atmosphere, the hot tub....
It’s a truly unique and memorable holiday experience. The snowy alps is super stunning. I’ll definitely come back during the summer season if possible

"A wonderful retreat"
This was a perfect retreat. The location is gorgeous with amazing views both at MoaAlm and on all the hikes. The accommodations were comfortable with just the right balance between having your own private space and places to hang out with other guests and staff. The food was amazing - I wish I could have them cook for me every night. And the staff were so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire trip. I will definitely be back!

Everything was amazing!
The location of MoaAlm is great, I'll always remember the view. The people, the food, the yoga sessions and hikes were all great. It really felt like a home away from home. We were lucky and had amazing weather the whole time, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely go back again, maybe next time during winter :)

"Geweldige ervaring"
Alles wat beter dan ik had verwacht. We hadden een kleine groep van 6 dames. Een fijne sfeer en het personeel was echt heel aardig en gezellig.
De wandelingen waren echt prachtig. Martin is een fijne gids die veel verteld over de omgeving en natuur. Hij bouwt de wandelingen goed op en we hebben echt zo’n mooie omgeving gezien en wandelingen gedaan.
De yogalessen waren erg fijn en Rosie paste zich goed aan aan de groep. Hele complete lessen.
Het eten wat echt super lekker en er werd echt goed voor ons gezorgd. Heerlijke taart in de middag na de wandeling en heerlijk 3-gangen diner.
Al met al een geweldige ervaring met lieve en leuke mensen.

"Awesome hiking and yoga week"
The location of MoaAlm is stunning, with unbelievable views of the Tyrol Alps, fresh mountain air and icy cold water that springs from the tap. The entire week was memorable for the fantastic hikes, the relaxing yoga, the delicious food and the great company of new friends. Incredible adventure and retreat in just one week!

"Excellent hiking experience"
Hiking - Martin made our holidays! He took good care of the group, that we are properly equipped, planned the hiking tours to be the best for each day and took us to places where we could have never gone without him. The best hiking experience so far, worth going there just for the hiking.
Accommodation - very clean spacious room with fantastic view over the Alps.
Food - especially the secong part of the week. Kersty and Cregg made delicious dinners, Kerstys hospitality stood out. The breakfast is excellent, all fresh and tasty.

"Peace, beauty, fun and food."
Every aspect of this holiday was fabulous. The owners and all the staff made us feel very welcome in their home, sharing mealtimes, joining us in the hot tub and occasionally meeting up for a bit of skiing. Martin, the activity leader, guided us on snow shoe and cross country skiing outings with endless patience and his knowledge of wild life and local customs added further interest. Rosie’s morning yoga sessions were wonderful-her sessions provided just the right balance of challenge and relaxation and she was a warm and lovely person. There was a great deal of flexibility around plans for each day- all preferences and abilities were accommodated. The meals were delicious and plentiful and the daily freshly made cakes were the scrumptious- very welcome after a hard day of exercise. Decorated in a homely Scandi style, the rooms were large and comfortable and mine had a beautiful view from the balcony. Rodelling down to the minibus added an extra element of fun to the mornings.

Sleep down in the valley is just not the same than up in the mountains: these silent, massive rocks where space opens, as if allowing eternity to touch the present moment.

"The Ultimate Winter Getaway! "
I am so pleased that I eschewed conventional yoga breaks in hot climes, in favour of MoaAlm in the stunningly beautiful Austrian Alps. The week I spent here in December was the ultimate relaxing getaway from the daily grind of London life – bringing with it the opportunity to try new winter sports, improve fitness, sample delicious vegetarian and vegan food and make new friends. We were looked after superbly by MoaAlm’s large team and the family vibe was wonderful. I have not laughed so much in ages. After a lovely morning yoga session, we largely chose to do activities as a group – including hiking, snow-shoeing and cross country skiing with Martin. However, we were equally free to do our own thing, supported by the team as desired. I hadn’t downhill skied for 5 years and it was fantastic to spend some time with Polly, Craig and Xania on the slopes over a 2 day period. After returning to scrumptious tea and cake each day, we could relax in our rooms before dinner – or equally flop downstairs with a book or dash outside for the most surreal hot tub experience! All in all, a wonderful, reviving break and I cannot recommend MoaAlm highly enough.

"One of the best vacations we´ve had!"
I and my husband have spent our winter vacation in MoaAlm one week before Christmas and we enjoyed it a lot!
We have been profoundly impressed by the surroundings in the Alps, the accommodation, the way the retreat was organized as well as by the staff.
The rooms were quite big and very cozy and downstairs you got access to a large living-dining room with a bar where you can relax, read a book, play society games, socialize or have dinner.
We loved the combination of different daily snow activities (ski, hiking, cross-country ski, snow shoeing, etc.), "hot-tubing" and yoga. This made the holiday very exciting and relaxing at the same time. We felt totally refreshed, energized and full of motivation when we got back home in Germany.
The food was also awesome, made of wholesome ingredients and vegetarian.
It was also great to meet new people joining the retreat and we totally felt like part of the MoaAlm family, thanks to the great people who are organizing it!
p.s. we as well fully appreciate pet-friendly environment and the help we got with our dog!

"A perfect week"
What to say about MoaAlm. Perfect location. Perfect views. Rooms were amazing great size and everything you need. Food was just the best, far far better than ever expected.
The different activities were amazing, not going to lie I was absolutely shattered but still loved it.
Haven't tried so many new things in ages!
The excursions are planned so perfectly.
One of the best things though is the amazing bunch of people you get to share the experience with. The team at MoaAlm really do make you feel part of the family, it can be nerve wracking doing something like this alone but you certainly don't feel that way. As a novice to everything except yoga I felt comfortably encouraged to try everything.
One of the best weeks ever was so sad to leave.
Thank you everyonr at MoaAlm!
