Morning Routine
Monday-Friday mornings 7-8:30 AM
Start the day with a dynamic yoga practice, inspired by Ashtanga Yoga, but more creative & playful (Rocket Yoga). Designed for participants with yoga experience who are ready to go deeper – in strength, flexibility & body awareness.
Each morning session focuses on a specific theme: arm balances, hip openers, inversions & backbends. Each class stands alone; participants are challenged to explore their own limits, but always have the choice between different variations & intensity levels.
🧘🏻♀️Note: Bring a towel & water bottle, as well as comfortable yoga clothing.
Mats & yoga equipment are provided.
Afternoon Workshop
Monday-Thursday 3-4:30 PM
An accessible introduction to your own yoga practice – no previous experience, no expectations, no "wrong" way to step onto the mat. In 90 minutes, the foundations of the sun salutation will be taught step by step, with time to understand & try it out.
The first part is dynamic (movement, breath, body orientation), the second part completely changes pace: In the Yin Yoga section, simple positions are held longer to experience yoga beyond fitness & flexibility as a practice of mindfulness. The workshop ends with a guided Shavasana.
🧘🏻♀️Note: Bring a towel & water bottle, as well as comfortable yoga clothing.
Mats & yoga equipment will be provided.
Afternoon Workshop
Monday-Thursday 3-4:30 PM
Breathing is one of the most direct pathways to regulation, presence & genuine regeneration. Rolf Duda demonstrates why longevity depends not only on bio-markers, routines, or knowledge, but on whether a person can feel internally safe, connected & adaptable. Breathing thereby becomes a bridge between the nervous system, body & consciousness.
Participants will gain a new perspective on how breathing patterns contribute to stress, exhaustion & dysregulation, and how conscious breathwork can support healing, resilience & sustainable health. A profound impulse for all who want to not just extend longevity, but bring it to life.
Afternoon Workshop
Monday-Thursday 3-4:30 PM
Modern diets are increasingly characterized by ultra-processed foods, isolated nutrients, and a growing distance from traditional preparation methods. This workshop combines traditional nutritional knowledge with modern medical insights and provides practical, realistic approaches for the daily consulting work of doctors and naturopaths.
The workshop presents a practical concept based on two pillars:
Nutrient-Oriented Nutrition: High nutrient density through conscious selection and preparation of grains, fats, and animal, plant-based, and fermented foods; preparation methods to improve bioavailability; everyday, family-friendly strategies.
Relief through Reduction of Antinutrients: Targeted minimization of antinutritive factors such as phytates, lectins, and oxalates through traditional techniques (soaking, fermenting, sourdough leavening, long cooking times), sensible food combinations for blood sugar regulation, and an objective assessment of the clinical relevance of antinutrients.
Optional bookable, paid afternoon workshop
Tuesday & Wednesday 3-4:30 pm

Longevity Retreat 2025 Impressions
For all who live and promote health:
The "Performance Diagnostics in Practice" is not a classic workshop, but an active, individual testing of one's own physical performance capacity.
Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Hans-Georg Predel (German Sport University Cologne), participants undergo various diagnostic procedures and receive concrete medical and performance-physiological parameters regarding their current fitness and health status.
The focus is on personal experience: as a participant, you perform the tests yourself, gaining a direct understanding of your resilience, endurance, strength, and coordination.
Components of the diagnostics:
Based on the results, participants receive individual insights and initial guidance on how training and exercise can be specifically adapted, both for their own health and for working with their patients.
The retreat combines expert lectures, workshops, communal activities, as well as time for exchange and relaxation. A typical day starts with optional morning sessions and ends with workshops in the afternoon, with expert lectures taking place in between.
