Program
About the Program
Your body needs time out in order to recharge and come back to life, regardless of the life situations. Daily work, stress, and other outside influences cause reactions and cost strength. When your body shows the signals, give it the rest it deserves. Hot baths, Ayurvedic treatments, massages with essential oils, healthy food, and nutrition help to bring maximum relaxation and well-being to your body.
Yoga is not just a sport, it is a science, a philosophy, an art form, as well as a way to indulge in life and happiness from within. Traumhotel Alpina offers you yoga that will inspire and motivate you. There are natural lakes, smooth mountain streams, forests, meadows, fields and mountains surrounding you, trees, wild deer, long walks and hikes, and yoga in nature.
All of those and more are available to you here at the Traumhotel Alpina. Their qualified yoga teachers will guide you through your yoga holiday experience and help you regain some of your inner balance. They provide you with a holistic experience; Ayurvedic cuisine, yoga lessons in their very own yoga shala or yoga garden, hikes in nature accompanied by yoga lessons in the mountains, and magical, mysterious, and peaceful surroundings.
Yoga in natural surroundings and in a peaceful environment gives you strength for the daily routine. Deep and inward relaxation through your environment promotes the recovery process. In this retreat, you walk and hike to special places that Traumhotel Alpina knows to contain a certain higher vibration to recharge your batteries in nature.
Find your balance in nature, just let go, and come back to being wholesome again. Yet at the same time, you are completely safe in the hands of a professional guide. You will always be guided by a professional, so you can actually let go. Your check-in can happen from about 15:00 onwards.
Yoga refers to a set of physical exercises, known as asanas or postures, and sequences of asanas designed to align your skin, muscles, and bones. The postures are also designed to open the many channels of the body, especially the main channel; the spine, so that energy can flow freely. This refers to the balance of masculine aspects; active, hot, sun, and feminine aspects; receptive, cool, and moon within all of you.
Yoga is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites. In your physical body, you develop a balance of strength and flexibility.
You also learn to balance your effort and surrender in each pose. Yoga is a powerful tool for self-transformation. It asks you to bring your attention to your breath, which helps you to still the fluctuations of the mind and be more present in the unfolding of each moment.
It aims at gaining a balance between the flexibility of your joints and your muscular density and strength. This is the reason for some of the very challenging exercises because the body can then fully relax after engaging in strenuous asanas.

- 1 workshop with an Ayurvedic therapist (3 Doshas, 5 Elements, Marma Vidya)
