Join us for a transformative summer yoga retreat with Dylan Bernstein in August 2025 at Tauhaus, Czech Republic.
Step away from the noise and into the stillness of nature. This August, experience a week of deep renewal and powerful practice with KPJAYI/SYC authorised teacher Dylan Bernstein at the serene and luxurious Tauhaus, nestled just 1,5 hour west of Prague.
Surrounded by forests and far from the demands of city life, Tauhaus offers the perfect sanctuary for diving into the heart of your yoga journey. Dylan will guide you through the discovery of spacious, reflective and liberating ways of being. Ashtanga Sadhana, Sanskrit mantra, pranayama, sunsets, sunrises, delicious food, time for embodied healing and restoration and a great company of likeminded people. Outside of our daily yoga practices, there will be time for deep rest and embodied healing through indoor and outdoor sauna.
Whether you're seeking to refine your practice, reconnect with your breath, or find clarity through stillness, this retreat is designed to support a deep and lasting transformation - both on and off the mat.
Spaces are limited. Come and nourish your body, mind, and spirit in one of Europe's hidden gems.

TAUHAUS
Nestled in the charming village of Rabštejn nad Střelou, Tauhaus is a serene and soulful space designed to support deep rest, inner exploration, and connection with nature. Often called the smallest town in Europe, Rabštejn sits atop a forested hill, surrounded by rolling landscapes, quiet trails, and the gentle Střela river - an ideal setting for yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.
Tauhaus itself is a beautifully restored stone house with warm, minimalist interiors, cozy communal spaces, and a stunning practice room filled with natural light. The energy of the house and the surrounding village creates a peaceful, grounding atmosphere that invites you to slow down and reconnect.
Whether you're stepping onto your mat for morning practice, enjoying nourishing vegetarian meals, or simply wandering through the forest paths, this retreat will offer a unique blend of rejuvenation, inspiration, and stillness.

DYLAN BERNSTEIN
Dylan is delighted to reach out to yoga practitioners across the globe. He has helped to build bustling, supportive and ongoing Mysore communities in Hong Kong, Istanbul and Bali. In addition to running stable Ashtanga programs, he has taught workshops and high-level immersions in dozens of locations worldwide.
Dylan had the good fortune to be introduced to yoga and zazen meditation in 1988, at the ripe age of 14. Since then, he has called upon the practices to engage the body, still the mind and seek more subtle expressions of self. Though the soil and conditions around him are often shifting, the practices keep him grounded internally, allowing for stability even when in the midst of change.
A lifelong interest in Asian philosophy, culture and poetics brought him to reside throughout Asia, where he has maintained his home base since 2001. He has learned immensely both by travelling widely and by living in Vietnam, India, Bali and Hong Kong. In addition to time spent in Mysore with Shri K Pattabhi Jois, Saraswati and Sharath Jois, Dylan has been blessed to connect with many other dear senior teachers. Time spent working and residing in the monasteries of Venerable Thích Huyền Diệu has also proven immensely insightful.
Dylan holds a Master’s Degree in Buddhist Studies, has been authorised to teach Ashtanga by the Shri K Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute and even has the highest certification available from Yoga Alliance stashed away in a drawer somewhere.
A student of teaching techniques, Dylan has a background in pedagogy and cognitive development. His classes are designed to put students into direct contact with their own true internal teachers. Yoga has never been limited to āsana for Dylan and yet, he values the critical role that the physical practice can play in bringing light to one’s whole being.
Essentially, Dylan remains a pluralist, believing in many kinds of truth and many manners of realisation. Though entertainment is not his focus in teaching, there is always room for laughter in his classroom. Ashtanga Vinyasa coupled with pranayama and other sitting practices continue to be the foundations of his understanding and teachings.
