Centre for
European Ayurveda
In one of the most stunning locations of the
Alps – on the high plateau of the Thiersee
Valley at 900m altitude – a place of unique
harmony and wellbeing awaits. Nestled within
this natural paradise, the Ayurveda Resort
Sonnhof is dedicated to the philosophy of
Ayurveda, integrating it gently and carefully
with European culture. Here, at the heart
of the Tyrolean Alps, guests experience the
power of the holistic Ayurvedic philosophy
– without the need for long haul travel to
the Indian subcontinent, the birthplace of
Ayurveda. Our Ayurveda specialists from
India, Gaurav Sharma and Chef de Cuisine
Balvinder Walia, work closely with Dr (med)
Alaettin Sinop (conventional GP & specialist
in naturopathic medicine), ensuring that
you are looked after with competence and
professionalism, whilst promoting a deeper
understanding between the cultures of east
and west.
As pioneers of European Ayurveda with a
holistic approach, we set new standards and
are prepared to meet the challenging health
issues of today’s western society.
Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof | 3
4 | Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof
Tyrol
meets India
The Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof was reopened
after renovations and extension works in June
2012. Our design concept is based entirely
on the motto ‘Tyrol meets India’. Local timber,
some of which recycled and sourced from
ancient hay barns, and high quality materials
create a harmonious synergy with vibrant
Indian colour schemes. Exquisite handcrafted
sculptures of Buddha and elements of
creative decor define the ambience. The
influence of the subcontinent is clearly
noticeable in our new suites as well as the
refurbished accommodation. The entire resort
was designed on the basis of Vastu Shastra to
enable positive energy to flow freely.
‘I feel good’ is our maxim – it symbolises
everything we do!
Johann Mauracher
with daughters Lisa & Christina
I feel good –
sign by Jwala Gamper
Every one of our guests at the Sonnhof is enveloped by the energy and
devotion permeating our Retreat. We are convinced that to do good,
we need to feel good about ourselves. We see ourselves as the helping
hands opening doors to usher in the change for better. ‘I feel good’ is
our fundamental message. Its positive force affects our thoughts and
emotions, opens the way to pure being and stands for the start of the
transformation we seek, be this consciously or unconsciously.
The Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof offers a
comprehensive programme including short
AyurDetox breaks, intensive detoxification
programmes, rejuvenation weeks and
Rasayana treatments. However, the queen of
Ayurvedic treatments is Panchakarma: a twopart therapy plan including preparation as
well as central treatment. Ayurvedic specialist
Gaurav Sharma, physician Dr Sinop and
Christina Mauracher assist with advice and
guidance throughout your stay.
Ayurvedic beauty treatments based on
products by PHARMOS NATUR® GREEN LUXURY
complement our comprehensive treatment
range.
A range of skills and expertise characterise
the Yoga programmes of the Ayurveda
Resort where guests come to understand
that this holistic approach is imminently more
than merely an effective body workout. Like
Ayurveda, Yoga deals with the psyche as well
as the body.

overview
Accommodation
AyurvedaCentre
30 rooms & suites
• Sonnhof single room
• Tirol standard double room
• OM Spirit superior double room
• Tirol junior suite
• Alpienne junior suite
• Harmonie junior suite
• Sonnhof Spirit junior suite
• Veda Spirit suite
In Ayurvedic philosophy, our body is a temple
housing our spirit. The various spaces in the
AyurvedaCentre are designed to live up to
this ideal. This is where the senses are soothed
in a relaxed, positive atmosphere whilst gently
stimulated with exhilarating fragrances,
peaceful sounds and an encounter with the
elements. The names of Indian gods were
chosen for the treatment rooms, for instance
that of Lakshmi – the goddess of beauty.
Public rooms & restaurants
• Spirit lounge
Dedicated to the planets and elements,
the Spirit lounge is a retreat presenting itself
altered each day, addressing different body
chakras. This is where our guests enjoy various
Ayurvedic teas at the tea bar and delight in
the all-embracing sense of healing harmony.
The oak floor made of reclaimed wood from
ancient barns creates a pleasant, down-toearth contrast to the joyful multi-coloured
Indian theme.
• Anapurna buffet
This is where breakfast and afternoon tea are
served.
• Buddha’s Place
The restaurant has also been fitted with a solid
oak floor and connects to the Spirit lounge,
thus creating a unity with the Indra Garden, a
conservatory dedicated to the Indian god of
war, thunder and rain.
Our three themed saunas also follow Ayurvedic
principles: the Kapha (earth/water) detoxifying
steam bath, Pitta (fire/water) herbal clay
sauna, and the Vata (air/ether) gemstone
saltwater therapy room. Before and after
the treatment, the Swasthya (‘inner settling’)
peace room provides an ideal environment
for rest and relaxation. The jewel in the crown
of the AyurvedaCentre is the panoramic
indoor pool with direct access to gardens and
energy fountain. The OM meditation room
and the Shakti (power) fitness room invite to
experience a focused encounter with the
energies of body and spirit.

Resort
overview
The garden of five elements
The Sonnhof is in itself a place of spiritual
energy. Similar to acupuncture points on a
human body, places of spiritual energy are
exceptional locations where strong forces
concentrate. The Shiva Shakti energy garden
was hence designed in accordance with the
ancient Indian Vastu Shasta teachings, and is
aligned on the principle of the five elements.
Within this tranquil garden are several places
where the flow of spiritual energy is particularly
effective, bringing energy to the fore. People
who enter these places with sensibility and
respect are rewarded by their concentrated
energy:
• The rose garden – portal to the path of the heart:
the roses growing across this area represent
unconditional love – the space is all about
supporting pain relief and expanding our
consciousness of love.
• Ganesha (elephant god) and Buddha:
in order to experience heaven in the energy
garden, we must first pass the statues of
Ganesha (son of Shiva & Parvati) and
Buddha.
• Shakti fire space:
this is where the female aspects of creation
make themselves felt in all their intensity. It is
a place of transformation that is dedicated
to meditation and letting go. The fire in
the copper bowl creates the backdrop for
powerful Yoga experiences.
• Chakra spaces:
the seven Chakra spaces are arranged
around the fire bowl in ascending order, all
the way from Root Chakra to Lotus Chakra.
When we enter these spaces, we access
the energy of the chakras, allowing it to flow
without restraint.
• Place of bliss:
this place of spiritual energy unites all that is
intended to be joined. Awareness of divine
perfection in creation brings about a state of
bliss. Inner peace is found during mountain
meditation sessions against the stunning
backdrop of the peaks of the Wilder Kaiser.
• Place of the Buddha and compassion:
this deeply tranquil space at the centre of the
energy garden helps to establish inner harmony.
Regional herb garden
When it comes to food, the Sonnhof really lives
up to its ‘Tyrol meets India’ motto. We grow
and tend regional herbs in our herb garden
and use them in the kitchen to season our
Ayurvedic dishes.
Bird table
In the Ayurvedic teachings there is space for
all of God’s creatures. Guests can let their
thoughts roam and enjoy the magnificent
natural setting as they watch the birds and
listen to their song.
Natural pond
This water feature provides a natural habitat
for wildlife – as a source of life where guests
can find inner peace.
Retreats of quiet meditation
Spacious areas for rest or Yoga practice are
dotted throughout the garden of elements,
they invite you to find relaxation and
restoration.

Healing
& philosophy
Ayur Veda – the science of life ...
Ayurvedic treatments aim to consolidate
good health and gently remedy disorders,
while at all times focusing on the uniqueness
of the person. Following a thorough diagnostic
test, an individual treatment and nutrition
programme to suit your constitutional type is
compiled and supervised by our experienced
team.
‘Instead of focusing on fighting
symptoms, Ayurvedic medicine
applies a holistic concept that
treats the roots of imbalances
for long term healing and
equilibrium.’
Ayurveda differentiates between three types
of constitution, allocating different treatment
methods to each type. These regulatory
principles are also referred to as the three
Doshas and determine our physical, spiritual
and mental characteristics. According to
Ayurvedic teachings, we are healthy and
happy when the Doshas are in harmony with
each other.
VATA. People who are slender, flexible,
have a low body mass index, and tend to be
constantly on the move are the Vata type.
Although they are quick thinkers, they also
tend to forget things quickly and are prone to
anxiety.
PITTA. Pitta types are of medium build,
agile and good at decision-making. They are
born leaders who, however, easily lose their
temper and are prone to anger.
KAPHA. Kapha types are heavyset and
take things calmly. They keep their head in
stressful situations, are easy going and have a
tendency towards idleness. Their outstanding
characteristics are patience, fortitude and
gentleness.
Your individual constitution type results from
the ratio between these three Doshas in your
body, it is at the centre of your nutritional
and treatment plan. The goal is to balance
the three forces, thereby enhancing health,
performance and happiness.
To find out more about your Doshas,
please download a questionnaire from our
homepage.
The three pillars
of health
Ayurveda is much more than merely a healing
method or a culinary trend – it is a veritable
way of life! Ayurveda means embracing
new happiness, improving our health and
developing a profound understanding of
self, our personal development and inner
peace. In the Ayurvedic view of the world
there is a correspondence between body
and nature. Health is a state of dynamic
balance amongst body elements – illness
indicates an imbalance. Based on the three
pillars of Ayurvedic nutrition, Diagnosis &
treatment and Yoga, we can counteract such
imbalances by taking a holistic approach to
health. This means that in addition to looking
at the symptoms of illnesses, we also consider
their causes – hence an effective method for
restoring harmony between body, mind and
spirit.
Diagnosis
&
treatment
Ayurveda
competence;
complementary,

& medical
diagnostics
The pace and stress characterising our
world today constitutes a major challenge
for our society and leaves many of us
feeling depressed and unable to cope.
Consequences are lifestyle conditions such
as burnout, metabolic disorders, allergies &
food intolerances, cardiovascular diseases,
migraines etc.
At the Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof, we offer our
guests the opportunity of taking a medically
supervised Ayurveda break which is in tune
with western requirements. Illnesses are not
simply treated superficially, but rather the
balance of the Doshas is restored by means
of targeted treatments and cures. Profound
regeneration, renewed energy and inner
balance can thus become the new life
companions.

The journey
towards self
Pioneer of European Ayurveda
The mastermind and pioneer behind all of this is Brigitte Mauracher. Brought up in a
nature-loving family, her interest in native medicinal herbs and their effects began
when she was just a child. Over 15 years ago she came across Ayurveda and
embarked on a thorough study of the subject, eventually becoming a devotee of this
holistic art of healing. Brigitte Mauracher was of the opinion that, ‘there is a reason
why we have been born in Europe, and we should work with the local treasures that
nature has given us’. Her determination, relentless energy and spiritual affinity made
her a pioneer in the development of European Ayurveda and the founder of the
Sonnhof’s AyurvedaCentre.
Authenticity
& expertise
Due to our robust knowledge, our specialists
from India, the experienced physician and
the Sonnhof team of experts, we are able to
integrate Ayurveda’s holistic approach into
our way of life. The result is a unique blend of
Ayurvedic philosophy and European culture,
which we call ‘European Ayurveda’.
Our lounge exudes a special energy –
the colour scheme coordinates with the seven planets.

Pulse diagnosis by Ayurveda
specialist Gaurav Sharma
•
•
Trained as an Ayurveda specialist
physician (Bachelor of Ayurveda,
Medicine & Surgery)
State certified Ayurvedic practitioner
Pulse diagnosis is an essential component and
the foundation of many of our treatments.
Here at the Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof, this
highly sophisticated diagnostic method is only
carried out by our Ayurvedic specialist Gaurav
Sharma. His years of experience have taught
him to interpret the pulse beat on the wrists
and gain valuable information on the overall
energetic condition of the body. To do this, he
applies his index, middle and ring fingers to
the inside of the guest’s wrist, feeling the pulse
by applying different amounts of pressure. In
addition to pulse diagnosis, Gaurav Sharma
also asks detailed questions about nutrition
and digestion, sleeping habits and about
life in general. This information enables him
to categorise a person as a Vata, Pitta or
Kapha constitutional type and to draw up
appropriate individual treatment and nutrition
programmes.
Ayurveda Specialist Gaurav Sharma is
happy to communicate with our guests in
German or English.

Ayurvedic nutrition –
the foundation of a healthy life
Nutrition plays a prominent role in Ayurvedic medicine, which is why it is considered one of the
three pillars of health. Vegetarian Ayurvedic food has a beneficial effect on the body and can
prevent disease. The Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof’s vegetarian diet dispenses with meat for ethical
reasons, but also for reasons of health and nutritional psychology. Ayurvedic vegetarian food is
easily digestible and promotes recovery.
‘Ayurvedic cooking is not dogmatic, hence nothing is forbidden and
there are no strict rules. Although it is mostly plant-based, it is not a
purely vegetarian cuisine.’
European
Ayurvedic cuisine
as a culinary brand
With European Ayurvedic cuisine, we have
taken the principles of Indian healing and
adapted them to suit western tastebuds, thus
creating our very own culinary brand. It takes
into account the principles and recipes of
Ayurveda for restoring vital energy balance
whilst appealing to European tastes by using
first-class products, locally sourced from the
region’s markets and farms. In addition to
classic Indian ingredients such as coriander,
ginger, cardamom and cinnamon, European
herbs including thyme, basil and fennel are
given the opportunity to unfold their healing
powers.
‘The combination of herbs, spices
and other ingredients has a
balancing and cleansing effect
and stimulates the metabolism.’
Each of us is individual and we all have
different requirements. Therefore Ayurvedic
cuisine takes into account the three
constitution types of Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
We recommend the appropriate menu
for your constitutional type in line with the
package of your choice. Our Ayurvedic
menu is tridoshic and therefore suitable for all
constitutional types.
Your day begins ... with a generous breakfast
buffet combining regional and Ayurvedic
specialities.
For lunch ... we invite you to sample our Pitta
buffet, which is served from 12 noon until 1.30pm.
Help yourself to delicious soups, salads,
appetisers and desserts.
In the afternoon ... let us treat you to a Vata
teatime, complete with a tea ceremony and
healthy snack.
In the evening ... we offer you a choice of
three menus: the Panchakarma & detox menu,
the Ayurvedic rejuvenation menu, and the
classic Sonnhof menu.
The meals
Our Ayurveda specialist Gaurav Sharma
will provide guests on an Ayurvedic
treatment programme with detailed
instructions regarding meals. During detox
or Panchakarma treatments, we only serve
vegetarian food. We will also prescribe
valuable and effective medicinal plants to
any guests with health problems.
Guests on the Panchakarma treatment
programme take their main meal at
noon – they enjoy a 3-course meal and
then restrict their evening meal to a
light snack.
Guests on the intense Rasayana build-up
programme are placed on a restorative
Ayurvedic diet.
Most of the produce used
in our cooking is regionally
sourced and organic. All meals are included in the Sonnhof
Signature Cuisine full board and are served in
the Buddha’s Place restaurant and in Indra’s
garden.

Ayurvedic cookery classes
with Johannes Baumgartner
‘It isn’t just the recipe that
counts. It is the art and devotion
that goes into the preparation
that makes all the difference
when creating a delicious
Ayurvedic meal.’
Ayurvedic cooking is a timeless wisdom
combining food and spices for a harmonising
effect and unforgettable flavour. Ayurvedic
spices together with select ingredients help
our system maintain inner balance, a healthy
immune system and a wonderful sense of
wellbeing.
The cookery course is for 3.5 hours per
day, spanning three days. It begins with
a theoretical module and is followed by
practical cookery lessons. Our lessons are
easy to understand, the dishes are simple and
fun to prepare. Naturally, you will also learn
how to deal with spices in the right order, how
to make your own samosas as well as other
traditional snacks and sweets. This is followed
by a shared meal as we enjoy the delicious
Ayurvedic dishes we have prepared. There is
plenty of time to answer any questions after
the meal.
Class times: Friday from 5-8pm, Saturday & Sunday from
10am-1pm. 2 day cookery courses take place
on Saturday & Sunday from 10am-1pm.
Classes are held at Haus Hubertus am See in
Vorderthiersee
Class details:
On day one – Friday – you are given an insight
into the origin and philosophy of Ayurvedic
cooking and there will be an introduction
to Ayurvedic curative spices, herbs and
ingredients. We will then prepare spicy dishes,
Indian desserts and drinks for you to enjoy
later in the evening.
On day two – Saturday – you will learn about
the effects of sattvas, rajas and tamas on your
health as well as the theory of harmony and
fundamental principles of Ayurvedic food.
Then we will cook sattvic dishes that promote
good health, vitality and inner harmony.
On day three – Sunday – we present a synopsis
of ingredients and their nutritional properties,
and provide you with an understanding of
rasa theory and of the six tastes of food.
To conclude the course, we will create an
Ayurvedic feast of divine delicacies. This feast
will be enjoyed at lunchtime when there will
be another opportunity to ask questions.
About the
course instructor: Johannes Baumgartner was born in
Switzerland in 1976. His spiritual quest led
him to the Indian Himalayas and then to
the country’s mystical east where he spent
many years cooking for monks in temples.
During this time he collected hundreds of
authentic recipes. Johannes Baumgartner
gives vegetarian cookery classes, lectures on
eastern philosophy, provides special event
catering services and organises trips to India.
Yoga & spirituality
Gentle physical exercise equals relaxation
and regeneration for the spirit. Yoga can
support you on your way towards inner peace,
equilibrium and sustainable health.
We have made a conscious choice to
include Yoga practice in our programme to
complement the treatments and therapies
we offer. Yoga means union or yoking and
includes physical and breathing exercises
supported by the practice of meditation. Yoga
works holistically, affecting body, mind and
spirit; it can ease disorders such as insomnia
and migraines as well as alleviate mood
swings and anxiety.
Yoga can harmonise all of the body’s
processes and organ functions, it can relax
the nerves and ensures supple muscles and
joints. Yoga calms the mind by stilling the flow
of thought and stabilising emotions. Our Yoga
practice also shows us what our limits are,
which brings about greater mindfulness and
awareness. From a spiritual point of view, Yoga
leads to higher consciousness and greater
gentleness towards our environment and
ourselves.
All guests are welcome to attend our twicedaily Yoga classes. Teachers are also available
for individual tuition, which is the best way to
address individual needs and goals.
Fee € 75/class
Good to know:

beauty.’

Panchakarma –
the queen of
Ayurveda treatments
Cleanse & detoxify
Start afresh & grow
Encounter your true self –
observe your inner light
Panchakarma, the ‘five therapeutic measures’,
encompasses all five pillars of Ayurvedic
purification and is the most effective and
profound detoxification method on a
physical and spiritual level. Of all available
detox treatments, this is the most effective in
releasing toxins and waste products from the
body, because it deals not only with watersoluble waste, but also with the much more
significant fat-soluble toxins. This restores the
body’s self-healing powers to full capacity,
thereby improving our ability to perform –
even as we grow older.
Panchakarma is unique in its healing and
preventative health benefits.
It enhances physical and spiritual wellbeing,
promotes mental clarity, has a generally
rejuvenating effect, increases vitality,
strengthens the immune system and helps
prevent disease. Your vital energies are
balanced.
The treatment is particularly recommended
for chronic disorders such as rheumatism,
gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic disorders,
insomnia, headaches, migraines, vegetative
or psychosomatic disorders, unspecific
pain, allergies and to reduce the level of
environmental toxins in the body.
All Panchakarma treatments begin with
a diagnosis and are conducted in two
parts. The preparatory treatment provides
the basis for the detoxification process. Its
deeply harmonising effects unfold during
the main treatment, which is supported by
soothing Ayurvedic massages, heat therapy,
Ushnodaka therapy, herbal medicine, Yoga,
qigong and meditation are further elements of
Panchakarma, which is available as a 7, 10, 14
or 21-day package.

Ayurveda
for a strong and
healthy back
When the back is weak, it soon gets out of
shape. The main cause of back problems is
said to be our sedentary lifestyle combined
with a lack of physical activity such as Yoga,
core training or aerobic exercise. Mental
strains like stress, difficult life events, personal
strife and professional conflicts can also play
an important role in chronic pain, as can an
unhealthy diet.
This intensive programme is specifically
designed to benefit the spine and ensure
a strong and healthy back. By improving
posture and body awareness the programme
helps you to stand upright and live your life
free of pain. Reposition yourself and give
yourself and your body a well-deserved treat;
your back will thank you.

musculoskeletal system and prevent a smooth
progression of movement – thereby causing
pain, poor posture and misalignments,
hindering the elimination of fluid and resulting
in nerve conduction blockages. Trigger point
massage is especially recommended to
provide relief from chronic muscle tension and
stiffness.

Workshop
with Swami Sacinandana –
Tree of Life Retreat
Recharge, find yourself and gain strength
for whatever lies ahead – at the Tree of Life
Retreat.
The weekend is an invitation to all who seek
new impulses for a holistic life and wish to
learn how to draw from their own internal
energy source or bhakti (devotion). A
robust ‘tree of life’ is needed to find happy
repose at the centre of the daily upheavals
confronting us in the shape of time pressure,
stress and countless obligations. Creating
such robustness is the aim of our Tree of Life
Retreat.
The ‘Tree of Life’ concept is based on
ancient Indian teachings and has been
practised for millennia. They include the
Vedic scriptures forming the starting point for
various other Indian traditions and fields of
knowledge.
The retreat offers a stimulating mix of
theory and practice. During theory sessions,
participants learn how to strengthen the four
main elements of the Tree of Life, namely
body, mind, spirituality and compassion. Our
activities will include meditation, mantra
chanting and working in small groups –
with Yoga sessions in between to energise
and relax us. When the tree of life is strong,
balance, peace and happiness can be
found at any time and anywhere – even in
our busy daily routines.
Sacinandana Swami has been a monk of
the bhakti tradition for 42 years. He is a
well-known contributor to the practice of
meditation and contemplation of modern
bhakti practitioners.
