A DIFFERENT WAY TO BEGIN THE YEAR

What if the New Year's wasn't about reinvention, but about space to feel yourself again?

NYERÉ is six days to step away from the noise, look back without getting stuck there, return to what is here now, and make space for what comes next.

Yoga. Mindfulness. Reflection. Nourishing food. Nature. Good people.

And enough time to simply be.

More space for what's next.

Explore the Retreat

Six days shaped like a long breath.

  1. 01

    Reflect

    EXHALE, WHAT WAS.

    Space to look back:

    What gave you energy?

    What took it?

    What deserves to stay?

    What can you leave behind?

  2. 02

    Reset

    BE WITH, WHAT IS.

    Come back to the body:

    To movement,

    To breath,

    To where you actually are.

  3. 03

    Rise

    INHALE, WHAT'S NEXT.

    Turn reflection into direction:

    Intentions for the life you actually want to live, instead of New Year' s resolutions for a different version of you.

Daily rhythm

A Rhythm, not a Schedule.

The days have structure, but never pressure.

Morning practice gives the day a beginning. Shared meals create connection. Workshops offer direction.

And long afternoons leave room for swimming, walking, reading, journaling, talking - or doing absolutely nothing.

Nothing here is designed to exhaust you.

Everything is designed to give you space, time, energy.

OLD PRACTICES. NEW UNDERSTANDING.

What Tradition discovered through practice, Science continues to explore.

Yoga, meditation, breathwork and rituals have been practiced across cultures for centuries. 

Contemporary research gives us additional ways to better understand how they can influence attention, body awareness, stress regulation, wellbeing and health. Understanding it doesn't take away the magic – it deepens it.

Here at NYERÉ, science is not a lecture added to the curriculum. It naturally informs how the retreat is designed, how practices are guided and how we assist you to experience your body and mind. From the way breathing, movement and attention can support nervous system regulation, to what traditions include since thousands of years. And space to discover what works for you.

We bring both, modern science and ancient practices, into thoughtful conversation.

Nothing here asks for belief. Your are invited to experience, reflect, and decide what works for you.

  1. 01

    Attention

    Where is your mind - and where do you choose to place it?

  2. 02

    Interoception

    What can you notice when you actually listen to your body?

  3. 03

    Regulation

    How do breath, movement, rest and environment interact with how we feel and respond?

  4. 04

    Reflection

    How can we turn experience into meaningful direction?

When we mention research, we mean techniques and questions that have been investigated with associations that have been observed: not a proof, not a medical treatment, and not a promised outcome. NYERÉ is a retreat, not a health intervention. It is all about your individual experience.

Nourishment

Food that feels like part of the retreat.

Slow breakfasts after morning practice.

Colourful plates.

Fresh ingredients.

Mona Herden, NYERÉ host and facilitator

HOST & FACILITATOR & FOUNDER

Mona Herden

Yoga has been part of my life for more than 20 years.

As neuroscientist and movement scientist, yoga teacher and doctoral researcher I am exploring how movement, especially mindfulness and the nervous system regulate the body, brain and wellbeing.  My fascination with the relationship between mind and body eventually led me from sports science and teaching as groupfitness and personal trainer to further studying human movement and neuroscience, and now doctoral research into human performance, regulation and recovery.

NYERÉ is where those worlds jointly form something new: embodied practice, scientific understanding and space to reflect without pressure. The sessions combine yoga, meditation and breathwork with naturally placed insights into  topics like interoception, attention,  stress- and nervoussystem regulation,  dropping in here and there to deepen your experience, and to take into the new year.

HOST & FACILITATOR & REIKI MASTER

Fabienne Schemmel-Schmähling

Feeling it all, the light and the heavy, makes life vibrant. I want to create space for that.

I am a Reiki master and yoga teacher, based in Hamburg. My path here took a few turns: I studied food management, built startups, led teams and co-founded two apps and a community space. Yoga teacher training in India and a Vipassana silent retreat changed what I wanted to work on. Since 2024, I organize mindfulness events and retreats in Germany and abroad under the name vibrænt.

At NYERÉ, I hold space for the emotions that make us feel alive: joy and grief, courage and vulnerability. Held by restorative practice, breath, quiet and a warm, grounded presence, they can be felt and move through.
