If you’re a new parent living in Stuttgart—or you’re about to become one—you might be feeling a mix of joy, exhaustion, and a hundred questions you didn’t even know you had. Add being far from family and your usual support network into the mix, and yeah… it’s a lot.
So when I heard about this upcoming Postnatal Retreat hosted by Westality on May 3rd at the Marriott in Sindelfingen, from my friend Martina, who will contribute as a breath work teacher, it really caught my eye.
What is Westality’s Postnatal Retreat all about?
It’s a one-day event designed for both new and expecting parents. Think gentle yoga, breathing techniques, workshops on things like nutrition, mental health, parenting, and even a space specifically for dads to connect. There’s no pressure to have it all together—just a chance to breathe, move your body a bit, and talk to people who get what you’re going through.
The timeline in a nutshell
The Westality Postnatal Retreat begins with a welcoming session, followed by a morning on postnatal health, nutrition, mental well-being, special relaxing massageand introductions.
Midday brings expert-led workshops on cooking workshops, breathwork and fitness with baby with lunch and casual networking in between.
The afternoon includes special breakout sessions—like one just for dads—and opportunities to connect with local wellness providers. The day wraps up with a group reflection and grounding practice.
The vibe seems very down-to-earth. It’s not about being the “perfect” parent, but rather about taking a day to check in with yourself and maybe connect with others going through similar things.
Why it is a treat for Expat parents in and around Stuttgart
When you’re parenting in a foreign country, it’s easy to feel like you’re doing it all on your own. This retreat can be a gentle way to find a bit of community, learn something useful, and just have a few hours to focus on you.
