Yoga at our hotel in the Black Forest
Amidst fir trees, crisp air, and sweeping views, yoga at our hotel in the Black Forest finds its natural rhythm. It gives you strength and lightness at the same time – for greater body awareness, peace of mind, and a sense of balance that sustains you. At Reppert, you can choose between Yang yoga, Yin yoga, or meditation – all classes are offered separately and are ideal for both beginners and experienced practitioners. In small groups, indoors or outdoors, with personal guidance and plenty of space to set your own pace.
Christine Reppert will personally guide you through the Yin Yoga and meditation sessions. In her "Silence that Moves – Yin Yoga & Meditation" package, she brings together mindful movement, conscious breathing, and moments of quiet to create a wonderfully restorative escape.

Your guides
Claudia Meller-Lies –
yoga for every stage of life
No one is too old to take their first step on the path of yoga. Claudia Meller-Lies knows this from over 30 years of experience. As a social worker, she incorporated yoga and relaxation techniques into her work at an early stage. She has been passing on her knowledge since 1992 – gently, clearly, and with the conviction that everyone can continue to develop, whatever their age.
Her qualifications: relaxation techniques, yoga for all ages, yoga 50+ and 65+, hormone yoga according to Dinah Rodrigues, yoga and relaxation for children, an introduction to meditation with mindfulness exercises, silent meditation, and movement-based meditations from various traditions. Since 2015, she has been working mainly in Hinterzarten – and at Reppert.
Christine Reppert –
Yin yoga & meditation
Do less, feel more. Christine Reppert guides you mindfully through your Yin poses and accompanies you on your journey towards inner peace with guided meditations.
Sometimes the journey home takes you far out into the world first. Christine lived and studied abroad for many years – and learnt how good it feels when everything falls silent now and then. In 2012, she returned to Reppert. Since 2017, she has been in charge of a large part of the hotel: marketing, communications, administration, reception. The practice of silence eventually found its way to her: meditation since 2023, Yin yoga since late 2023 – currently training with Markus Henning Giess (Yin therapy).
Her approach is guided by the Four Immeasurables: Love, Compassion, Joy, Equanimity. Or as she likes to say: “Everything comes. Everything stays. Everything goes.”
The forest is her silent compass; her breath is her rhythm. With her son Carl and her dachshund Archie by her side, she’s reminded every day of what really matters: being there, listening, and softening. This is exactly how she leads her classes at the yoga hotel in the Black Forest: gently, clearly, and with genuine care. No pressure to perform, no grand words – just a space where people can find themselves.
