"Perfect start to the year! Everything was superb and the care was effortless and perfect! I'm sad to have only stayed for 6 days; I could have enjoyed it much longer! It's truly beautiful there. And morning or evening yoga is just my thing."

"An oasis of tranquility" I particularly enjoyed the peace at Kranichstein Farm. The advantage of the accommodation being in the countryside was that it really allowed me to unwind. Katharina is a wonderfully nice and competent yoga instructor. I appreciated the individual corrections to the asanas. It's also great that the course mainly involved locals from Rügen - it gave everything a very homely feel. Some might say that Kranichstein Farm is difficult to reach. You should definitely have some form of transport. I got around Rügen wonderfully by bike, which has many beautiful bike paths, and I actually enjoyed the seclusion."

"Small and beautiful hotel with loving and individual care. We enjoyed a prolonged yoga weekend at Kranichstein for the second time. Highly recommended, somewhat secluded and quiet, therefore a car is necessary. Centrally located as a starting point for various excursions. The ayurvedic dinner in our yoga package was a delight every day, and the breakfast was diverse and tasty (including fish and sausage). The yoga sessions were individual and of a high standard! (Iyengar)"

Escape the everyday without the hassle of planning and spend a week doing nothing but yoga, breathing in the sea air, enjoying free time, and making new connections both externally and internally. Doesn't that sound enticing? A retreat, by definition, is a withdrawal, and that's exactly what this retreat on Rügen offers! Daily, experienced yoga instructor Katharina will guide you through skillfully sequenced yoga sessions. Outside of yoga sessions, there's plenty of time to shape according to your needs. Take time for an exciting book or simply let the fresh Baltic breeze caress your face. The island also offers many fascinating places of power worth exploring by bike or on foot. Your journey takes you to the northwest of the island, which, with its flat, gentle landscape, provides the perfect base for a hiking holiday. Your view can wander unobstructed over vast meadows with rapeseed, poppies, and cornflowers, and over quiet forests. Naturally, the landscape is an absolute highlight of Rügen, but the numerous seaside resorts also invite you to linger.

Please note that the use of the wellness area is subject to a charge. The cost for one sauna session for two people, including bathrobes and beverages, is 30€ (payable on site).

The idyllic Hof Kranichstein is centrally located on the island of Rügen and consists of a thatched half-timbered house and two other buildings. The buildings are situated on a spacious 6,000 m² garden plot, which invites you to linger. You can let your gaze wander into the endless expanses of the Rügen Nature Park, as the estate is almost secluded.

In the main house, you will find maritime-themed double rooms, and stylish holiday apartments and suites have been set up in the other buildings. Overall, Hof Kranichstein offers a homely, familiar atmosphere. The large garden with a view of a pond around the hotel provides the perfect place to recharge and enjoy the warm sunshine and fresh sea air. Treat yourself to a yoga class on the terrace or relax on the sunny lawn in a comfortable deck chair.

Breakfast and dinner are prepared with sustainability and organic principles, including ayurvedic options, using only regional, fresh, and healthy ingredients, some from our own garden. Meals can also be prepared vegan or free from gluten and lactose upon request.

Discover the enchanting west coast of Rügen - a paradise brimming with natural wonders and maritime charm! The picturesque coastal towns invite you to immerse yourself in the relaxed atmosphere. Here, rugged chalk cliffs blend with soft sandy beaches, while the roaring wind tells a tale of adventures and seafaring romance. The nearest beaches are about 9 miles away. The area is ideal for hiking and cycling.

Nearest airports: Hamburg or Berlin, approximately 186 miles from the accommodation, about a 3-hour drive.
Nearest train station: Bergen auf Rügen, approximately 9 miles from the accommodation, about a 15-minute drive.

The wellness area includes a Finnish sauna with a relaxation area and sensorial shower, as well as a whirlpool and a massage room (charges apply, payable on site).

Our yoga instructors teach Hatha Yoga in the style of BKS Iyengar, one of the greatest yoga masters of our time. This style of yoga offers profound insights into the asanas. The body is aligned in the asana - the posture - strengthening and stretching the muscles, joints, and organs, while penetrating deeper layers of consciousness. Iyengar Yoga typically uses props such as belts, blocks, chairs, wall ropes, and blankets to facilitate or intensify the accurate execution of the asana, tailored to each student's needs. Iyengar Yoga is highly suitable for beginners as well as those experienced in yoga with health issues like back or knee pain. Our dedicated yoga room accommodates 12 participants, and is fully equipped with yoga mats, meditation cushions, blankets, blocks, and belts.
