awake & alive ✺ yoga & hiking retreat in ticino
life is meant to feel — the warmth of the sun on your skin, the ground beneath your feet, the fresh mountain air in your lungs, the joy of moving your body and the quiet magic of simply being alive. sometimes, all we need is to step away from our daily routines to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.
this retreat is an invitation to move, explore and recharge in the beautiful nature of ticino. through yoga, mountain hikes, refreshing river swims, meditation and moments of stillness, you will have space to reconnect with your body, clear your mind and feel your energy come alive again. a weekend to find balance between movement and rest, adventure and ease, connection and time for yourself.
we will start our mornings with meditation, breathwork and an energising yoga practice to awaken the body and mind. during the day, we will explore the surrounding mountains, discover beautiful trails and make time to pause, breathe and take in the views. there will also be moments to swim, relax and simply enjoy the beauty of being outdoors. in the afternoon or evening, a gentle yin practice will invite you to slow down, soften and integrate the day.
expect a weekend filled with movement, fresh air, nourishing food, meaningful connection and the simple pleasures of life. leave feeling refreshed, grounded and reconnected with the energy that lives within you.
a space to move, to breathe, to explore — and to feel truly alive.
