Explore YOGA & HIKING Weekend

Experience Life in its simplest terms... re-connect to yourself & to nature, really "take a break?!

Join  myself & the lovely Celine Kahn (Touringmonkeys.com) our mountain  leader, for this Yoga & Hiking experience in the quiet &  authentic surroundings of Alp Partnun (St. Antönien), nestled in the  heart of  the Swiss Graubunden region, with views of the towering  mountains, a place that stands  still in time with its authentic  mountain houses, rocky mountains, lush greenery, fresh water streams and  plenty of time to just Be and forget about  time...

Our  home for the weekend is the historic Berghaus Sulzfluh, an authentic  mountain hotel built in 1875 as a guesthouse, which retains its original character and atmosphere with romantic candlelight, furniture  from the old days, creaking floorboards and wash bowls with fresh  mountain water. Petroleum lamps light up the guest rooms in  the main house and a  wood-burning stove provides cosy warmth  throughout. The cozy vibes are everywhere, plus a not-to-be-missed  opportunity to go for a dip in the Hot Pod!

We  rise with the sun, we wake up with an energizing morning Vinyasa Yoga  practice and welcome the day (yes! these are our sun salutations).

After  a delicious hearty breakfast we join Celine for an amazing day-hike  through the mountains in Engelberg, embracing the challenge as we   immerse ourselves in nature, drinking it in and recharging our   batteries.

Pic nic lunch with amazing panoramas included!

Late  afternoons are for restorative yoga practice to explore the deep  relaxation benefits of Yin Yoga asanas & pranayama breathing  exercises as well as a candlelight meditation.

Food  will be vegetarian & delicious, a chance to delight in gathering  around the table to enjoy our meals showered with a  healthy dose of  laughs.

So join us, take a   break, reconnect to the slower pace of Life, enjoy the beauty of the   mountains, gaze at the stars, share new experiences, move the Energy  around and relax knowing that nothing is in a rush.
