Courses of the active program at DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & SPA
Types of yoga
What is yoga? The teaching of yoga originated thousands of years ago in India. The aim of yoga is to create a harmonious unity of mind, body and soul. A combination of special body positions, deep stretches and breathing exercises are designed to help achieve this. Controlled breathing is just as important as the physical work to reduce stress and relax.
The interaction between the mind and body was known to the inventors of the Far Eastern teachings. Translated, yoga appropriately means "connection": if the psyche suffers, this can become physically noticeable. Well-being and mood suffer as a result. Yoga exercises therefore strengthen body and mind in equal measure.
- Vinyasa Yoga: "Meditation in motion" - a variation of the Hatha Yoga style: The individual asanas (exercises) are strung together in a flowing and powerful way in the rhythm of the breath. Due to different levels, even the untrained can cope well with this challenging class!
- Yin Yoga: Quiet style of yoga practiced mostly lying down or sitting, passive stretching
Goal: Achieve a meditation-like state and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons - Yoga Nidra: "Sleep of the Yogi" - relaxation of body and mind. Through the spoken Yoga Nidra instruction, you enter a sleep-like state, but remain awake all the time by directing your attention.
- Yogilates: a combination of yoga and Pilates
Aim: to promote suppleness of the body and strengthen deep-seated muscles - Hatha yoga
Hatha yoga follows a holistic approach in which asana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation are practised.
Aim: to experience the energetic effects of the exercises and achieve physical and mental balance - Yin & Yang Yoga
This class combines dynamic & strengthening exercises (Yang) with calm, meditative Yin Yoga
Aim: balance and harmony between activity & rest, tension and relaxation as well as doing & being. - Yin & Restore
Gentle stretches are combined with postures in which no force is used. The body is supported with blankets, cushions and blocks so that it can rest motionless in one posture for up to 20 minutes.
Aim: to activate the body's self-healing powers and restore the nervous system - Slow Flow
Similar to Vinyasa Yoga, the exercises are practiced as "meditation in motion" flowing with the rhythm of the breath. The focus is more on gentle stretching and promoting mobility. - Gentle Yoga: A short and gentle yoga workout - doable even for the completely untrained.
- Standing Yoga: In the summer months in the garden/on the terrace in front of the gym. Perceive nature: Walking meditation and powerful standing exercises (can be done even by the untrained).
Other sports and activity courses:
- Aquafit: dynamic and sporty movement with a lot of fun in the water
- Breath meditation: conscious regulation and deepening of breathing through mindfulness
Aim: to promote the ability to concentrate, strengthen the diaphragm, lung capacity and cleanse the lungs - Abdominal express: exercises to activate and strengthen the abdominal and back muscles
Goal: Upright posture and reduction of the hollow back - Bodyworkout: Effective whole-body training (abdominals-legs-buttocks)
Goal: Strengthening and shaping of the named muscle parts - Embodied Movement: In this class we want to connect with our innate movement intelligence and use it to dance. The aim is to give free rein to movements that arise spontaneously from within and want to happen. The aim of the training is to strengthen our intuition and thus noticeably change our relationship to our body in a positive way.
- Healthy back: Mobilization, strengthening and stretching of the back muscles and adjacent muscle groups such as arms and legs. The entire body is trained and the back is relieved.
- Latin Dance Workout: Sweat-inducing training to rousing music. Basic steps from Latin dance are taught and combined with steps from aerobics, jazz dance and hip hop to create an effective cardio workout. The steps are easy to learn even for the inexperienced.
- Meditation: Mindfulness and concentration exercises to focus the thoughts
Goal: Neutral contemplation of thoughts and finding the way to the inner center - Pilates: systematic whole-body workout to strengthen deep-seated muscles with a focus on pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles
Goal: profound control of muscles with the help of the mind - Back fit: strengthening the abdominal and back muscles and learning concepts for relaxation
Goal: improving posture and teaching back-friendly behavior - Deep relaxation: relaxation method in which specific muscle groups are consciously tensed and relaxed
Goal: state of deep relaxation of the entire body - Walking: fast, steady walking with or without poles
Aim: to train leg and arm muscles and strengthen endurance and coordination

Why exercise is part of a wellness vacation
In addition to relaxation, a healthy diet and social contacts, sufficient exercise is also part of a holistic wellness break. Our new course schedule at DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & SPA is very diverse and offers the right fitness program for every taste. We are sure that you will also find something that suits you in our active program.

The active program offers courses for every taste. Whether you are a sporty (re-)beginner or already fit and trained, you will find what you are looking for with us. Some of our guests like to let off steam with a round of aerobic dance, while others want to learn about deep relaxation methods such as muscle relaxation. Perhaps there are also types of movement that you have heard of and would like to try - with us you have the opportunity to do so.
Fitness courses in Sauerland
Because while the beautiful Sauerland region around Hallenberg invites you to take excursions into nature, many prefer exercise in cozy warm course rooms in fall and winter - especially in bad weather. The new active program therefore takes place mainly in our Haus der Mitte or in the hotel's swimming pool. From here, our guests can enjoy the beautiful view at any time of year - during the activities or during the well-deserved break to relax.
