HAUS YOGA VIDYA in Bad Meinberg has a new seminar program.
Moor (natural theraputic mud) is the ideal compliment to a
yoga-wellness weekend. The moor application will take place on Saturday
afternoon, schedule of the rest of the seminar is as usual.
Within 15 minutes walking distance from Yoga Vidya (about 3 minutes by
car) lies the “Stern Gesundheitszentrum” Health
Centre. It offers many various treatments which perfectly comply and
enhance the practice of yoga. For instance you could soak in a mudbath
in the afternoon, experience a carbonate,- bubble,- or drybath, indulge
in a relaxing massage, practice mudwalking, drink the healing waters or
attend a nordic walking lesson. Or how about a swim in the warm thermal
pool or have a go at the sauna? Some treatments (Carbonate bath,
mudbath) would require the advance consultation of a therapist, which
is possible at short notice and expense. Our local therapist would also
be able to advise you as to the best treatment or combination for you.
Please register 4 days in advance so that we can coordinate the dates with the Spa Centre.

Natural moor
The sulphorous springmoor of Bad Meinberg is highly
vitalising, regenerating and is especially benefical for the skin. It
induces a comfortable warmth, increases wellbeing and has an relaxing
effect on joints, muscles, body and mind. Heated up to about 39 or 48
degrees Celsius, it will wrap the body in a soothing warmth and
comfort, induce a feeling of weightlessness and result in smooth,
deeply purified skin, well circulated muscles and flexible joints.
Allow yourself to indulge in this special treat. Let yourself be
pampered and wrapped by mother natures powerful gifts.
The moor, which is being dug right outside Bad Meinberg, is heated
during treatment, so the warmth will suffuse the body slowly and
carefully. The moor´s minerals are infused and will unfold
their astringent quality while vitalising metabolism and circulation.
All kinds of inflammations of joints, rheuma, disease of intervertebral
discs and meniscus are treated and especially persistent tensions will
miracously disappear. There´s hot mud(moor)baths, wrappings
for peculiar treatments, chilled mudwalking and mudmassages.
Carbonate
The natural carbonate acid keeps streaming from Bad Meinbergs local springs (Mofetten). These springs are the largest health springs to be used and found in the world. The water is to be drunk but can also be applied in “hygrotherapy” like baths and other treatments. This may be, according to physical constitution, a carbonate bath or drybath. Carbonate baths in general strengthen heart and circulation, will aid high blood pressure, irregular circulation and are applied in preventive and post-therapeutic medicine. Carbonate baths will also act as an astringent, enhance metabolism, raise spirits and act as a counterdepressant.
Drinking Treatment
Two springs with separate mineral proportions are used for baths and treatment. There´s also three pools with these waters at the thermal spa. Bad Meinberg´s water is rich in calcium – important agent for healthy bones – and magnesium effective agent for healthy muscles and energy. It supplies the organism with all minerals, purifies and supports fasting.
Massages
