Yoga in the Mountains

My perfect holiday involves practicing yoga in the mountains, in beautifully stunning settings with like-minded people, spending as much time as possible outdoors, celebrating the rising sun as the delicate rays shimmer through the dew still fresh on the grass.  Yoga in the mountains is absolute bliss.

To breath in the beauty of the place, to stretch and expand thru the asanas and then — fully energized, relaxed and ready to go — to hike, swim, climb, explore, shop, taste (reeeally taste) the local foods, nap, sing, read, observe, whistle, skip, laugh — all the while staying connected to that gorgeous center within that just grows and grows with the practice of yoga.

And then, to reserve enough time to just do absolutely nothing — except for soaking in the prana, the incredible energy of the mountain air.  I feel such gratitude to be able to combine all these aspects of the best of life at home — but even more so when we’ve arrived at our destination of choice — this time, the yoga hiking retreat in the Swiss Italian Alps.

Vacation musts: Mountains, lakes for swimming, hiking trails, colorful blossoms along the way, enormous trees, good food, fun shops, room for new friends with time alone too, and spectacular trees for shade, reading, napping, picnicking, admiring and, yes, even hugging. What is your idea of a perfect holiday?

We still have several spaces left for our upcoming trip, August 23 - 29 2009, and we look forward to welcoming you on this fantastic and relaxing adventure. Visit our other yoga site and sign up for more information on our yoga and hiking retreat  in Soglio.  It was a great yoga in the mountains of the Swiss and Italian Alps.
