About NONNA Hof
NONNA Hof has a rich past and a warm, welcoming soul. Originally built in 1934 as a traditional farmhouse with its own cow stable and barn, the property has been lovingly transformed over the decades. When the local farming cooperative (LPG) emerged in the 1960s, the stable was no longer needed for animals and was seamlessly integrated into the farmhouse.

In the late 1990s, the new owners carefully modernized the house: adding windows to flood the rooms with light, installing heating for comfort, and converting the former stable into additional living spaces.

What makes NONNA Hof truly special is the surrounding land. The family planted a small forest, along with fruit trees and berry bushes, creating a vibrant natural oasis that continues to define the charm of the property today.

NONNA Hof is still family-run, carrying forward its history while offering a warm, personal atmosphere—an ideal setting for rest, practice, and reconnection during your retreat.

Guided by Sarah, who has been immersed in Katonah Yoga for over a decade—studying and practicing with some of its leading voices including Abbie Galvin (her weekly teacher), as well as Ty Watson, Antonia Lingemann, and many more—you’ll experience a rich and inspiring daily practice.

This retreat also offers 10 bankable hours toward your official Katonah Yoga certification.
Together we’ll move, breathe, imagine, and explore the metaphors of the practice: the body as a house, the breath as a teacher, and the mind as a tool for orientation and reorientation.

On Saturday, you’ll be guided through a full Katonah-style breathwork session designed to organize your breath, expand lung capacity, and soothe your nervous system. Together, we’ll dive into the anatomy of the breath, learn how to set up the frame for effective practice, and explore ways to integrate breathwork into your home routine.

This dedicated practice builds resilience, presence, and a deeper connection to yourself—tools you can carry with you long after the retreat.

This retreat also offers 10 bankable hours toward your official Katonah Yoga® certification. To pursue the Katonah Yoga® teacher certification, you must already hold a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT). Once you have that foundation, you can accumulate Katonah-specific training hours (such as the ones from this retreat) toward certification.

Curated by Chef Kati from Softer.Servings, our retreat menu is deeply rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and thoughtfully aligned with the Water element. Every dish is designed to nourish your body, support your practice, and harmonize with the season.

Each day you’ll enjoy:

• Adaptogenic tonics & herbal teas to balance and restore

• Ferments, broths & mineral-rich warming dishes to ground and strengthen

• Root vegetables & seasonal grains for deep nourishment

• Soft endings and digestive elixirs to soothe and complete each meal

This way of eating is both healing and delicious, offering a true taste of TCM wisdom on your plate.

Beyond our yoga practice and meals, the retreat also leaves space for rest and exploration. NONNA Hof’s expansive grounds and surrounding landscapes invite you to connect with nature in many ways:

• Scenic hikes and walks through fields, forests, and quiet paths

• Refreshing swims in nearby lakes or ponds, with easy access to the Baltic Sea or a lake within walking distance for a cold dip

• Deep relaxation in the sauna to warm, restore, and rejuvenate

These simple yet profound rituals complement the practice, giving your body and mind time to integrate, reset, and soften.
