Matsya Yoga comes to the Danube in the Wachau region
Dear Matsya community,
We have some great news to share with you!
After years of searching, we have finally found the perfect place in Austria for our yoga trainings, our classes and our journey to the soul. I am delighted to announce that our new center is located in the heart of one of Austria’s most beautiful regions – the Wachau, about an hour from Vienna.
More specifically, our new location is just a short walk through the alluvial forest from the banks of the Danube, opposite Dürnstein Castle. This magical region is known for its picturesque hiking trails, idyllic vineyards and its proximity to the site of the Venus of Willendorf – one of the oldest depictions of the goddess.
Focus on yoga philosophy and real tantra
Matsya will always remain a school where classical yoga is practiced and taught. But with our new center, we are focusing even more on teaching yogic philosophy and the Shiva tantra.
This means that we will dive deep into rituals and into the heart of yoga without compromise. This also means a sacrifice; we will consciously not focus on commerce, but on teaching yoga that is special and deep.
In this context, we look forward to imparting the Trika Prajapati – the ritual for the Triune Goddess. The Vijnana Bhairava in all aspects up to the complete recitation – the Shiva Tantra will be the backbone of our journey to the soul.
Of course, we will continue our yoga teacher training courses in Rossatz and also offer regular yoga classes in a new location in Vienna, but our heart beats for the deep immersion in rituals, sound and the spiritual magic of yoga – together with you, in the midst of the breathtaking scenery of the wild Danube.
Yoga teacher training: Continue flexibly
We want to make sure that everyone who has started their yoga training in Vienna can continue seamlessly in the Wachau. We offer two options for this:
– You can come to our new center from March 2025 during the yoga training times and participate on site.
– Alternatively, you can complete your yoga training online – from the comfort of your own home.
In addition, our new center has several beds and two apartments that are available to our yoga students during training times.
Online yoga offer remains as always
For all those who would like to continue using our online services: Don’t worry!
All yoga trainings in the Wachau and classes will continue to be streamed online. As usual, you can also book our classes via Eversports and MyClubs, whether online classes or face-to-face classes.
Starting in September
We will close the doors of Matsya Yoga in Vienna at the end of September. Afterwards, the extensive renovation of the large and beautiful house in Rossatz-Arnsdorf in the Wachau region will begin.
We expect to open our doors for yoga workshops and yoga trainings in the Wachau region from March 2026.
Matsya will continue in other premises
Although we will be giving up our current room in Florianigasse, we will still be opening another room in Vienna for regular classes where yoga can continue to be taught.
It remains to be seen whether yoga trainings will also take place in Vienna from time to time.
We will stream weekly classes online from our new studio and also hold classes in our alternative space in Vienna.
In addition, we will maintain our community meetings: at least once a month we will dedicate ourselves to topics of the Shiva Tantra, diving deep into the “Vijnana Bhairava Tantra“. We look forward to your participation, which is free of charge in these sessions.
You will soon find more detailed information on the community sessions here.
We look forward to starting this new chapter together with you. Let’s discover the magic of yoga and tantra in new depth on the banks of the Danube, between ancient vineyards and mystical landscapes.
We invite you to join us in creating a space for growth, magic and inspiration.
More about us
Take a look at our books
Our books shed light on the philosophy of yoga and delve into the secrets of the cosmos, to which yoga is supposed to be a gateway.
Yoga is a way to explore the unfathomable behind the mind and to improve the existence that lies embedded in it.
Behind the mind, the understanding, the word, the known, and the concept, there is the very being, the magic of existence.
