This year's philosophy workshops are spread over the weekend of 26th and 27th October, each module takes about 3 hours (Japanese interpretation is provided).

Day 1:
A History of Yoga in Pictures - From Beginnings in Ancient India to Modern Postural Yoga

This is a guide through the history of Yoga, using pictures and photos. He will bring the slideshow to life drawing on his long years of experience working, researching and practicing in India and Nepal.

Day 2:
What does it mean 'Modern Yoga' -How does the Yoga practice today differ from earlier classical ones?

This philosophy class goes deeper into the question of identity regarding our practice. We look at the main differences between ancient classical Yoga and the more recent forms that have become popular. In the second half of this presentation, we shall look at how we can make sense of the countless modern schools that offer Yoga, and choose wisely between the options.

Conversations In Yoga 2020 - A Deep Retreat
This nine-day retreat in India combines Emil's deep yogic work with an opportunity to meet extraordinary adepts and artists of the Yogic path.

Morning sessions of classical Indian music, meditation and Pranayama will be followed by an Asana session that is shared by beautiful Yogini Anouk Aoun.
The afternoons are an immersion into Indian philosophy, as well as details of the yogic processes and physiology of breath and contemplation, all guided by Emil.
A pre-dawn Mantra recital and contemplative moment is shared with professional musicians - Vidya Rao, the Indian Thumri singer, plans to join us again. She is a phenomenal musician and artist (see www.vidyaraosinger.com).

Finally, the afternoons and evenings from Friday to Sunday bring us into a conversation with adepts of the yogic world: a group of extraordinary personalities will be presenting their life story, and open up to interaction with us. Besides Vidya Rao the lineage holder of Chöd, Machig Rinpoche, will again grace us with his presence. Several more adepts will join us for this weekend. Please keep in contact for the details!

Retreat and Conversations will be held at the Satsanga Retreat Centre with its magnificent Nataraja Yoga Hall (see www.satsangaretreat.com). The resident chef and her kitchen team will prepare pure yogic meals for us.

To the left of this page is a sample flyer (for the past retreat in 2019). This retreat fills rather quickly, we suggest to book as early as possible to secure a place.


Although this retreat is intensive in the number of hours offered each day, there is no requirement instead of reasonable physical fitness, and a willingness to participate in the daily sharing.

Asanas and Beyond, with Emil Wendel and Anouk Aoun

This 5-day retreat is designed to immerse the practitioners into both a stimulating postural practice, and the magic that lies beyond the physical aspects of Yoga.

We start early with pre-dawn meditation and Pranayama, followed by a 2 hrs Asana sequence. Postures are taught by the lovely Anouk Aoun, and are presented on levels that do justice to both established and developing Hatha practitioners. Also part of it is the practice of Mouna (silence) during the mornings.

The afternoons are dedicated to yogic philosophy. While the Mühle-Retreats in 2018 and 2019 focussed on understanding and practices of the four chapters of the 15th century Hathayoga Pradipika, the 2020 retreat will be tracing the history of Yoga carried through until the present day.

There are also evening presentations in the form of documentaries to the theme of the day, and discussions.
