Want to get away from it all without actually leaving the city? Here’s a way that will let you stretch your limbs and rejuvenate your muscles: the Urban Yoga Retreat in Nature, a half day session of yin yoga, yoga nidra and meditation that will help you reconnect with your body and get a brief break from busy city life. It’s held in a green retreat of sorts – Treptower Park – which with its waterside meadows and tended flowers is probably as calming as the city gets. Leading the session is mindfulness pro Regina, who also runs the SUP X Yoga: Half-Day Retreat On The Water which combines the tranquility of stand-up paddling with the breath-led postures of yin yoga. Meeting at Langer See, you’ll spend 40 minutes paddling to the perfect spot to do a 90-minute session of slow, restorative yin. We attended one of Regina’s classes and found her clear, subtle teaching style perfect for feeling relaxed and renewed. Both sessions are available to book on online platform Dream Local, where you’ll find lots of other outdoor discoveries in and around Berlin. Your body – and your mind – will thank you.
