Yoga Gaia and Hiking Retreat in the Italian Alps
We will develop new relationships with your body through David’s morning Asana classes crafted to awaken you for a day. Each morning session will be unique and inspired by what the day’s activities are. Some days will be for hiking to tall peaks and others just across the meadow.
After morning practice, we will share breakfast together and then decide on which way to venture, with several options offered each day with the help of local friends and guides. We reconvene in the early evening for some gentle yoga and family style dinners with music, events, and fun.
Every day, will also partake in the mind expanding 'Story of the Cosmos' as Hasita guides us chapter by chapter through the creation of Earth and life on it with Yoga Gaia. This story of creation, as told through your body, will have profound results as we deepen out connection to nature next to pristine lakes, high rocky peaks, and glacial valleys.
This retreat is open to all levels and styles of yoga practioners. Families are welcomed and encouraged to participate and we request that children be 7 or older.
