STORIES FROM STAUDACHERHOF
Hiking in Bavaria is the yogi’s joy!
It's almost that time again! Starting in June, the sports offerings at the Hotel Staudacherhof, the luxury hotel in Garmisch Partenkirchen, will be expanded to include a very special nature experience: hiking yoga.
Why hiking yoga?
Hiking is good for mental balance, metabolism, and the cardiovascular system. And also Yoga, the millennia-old Indian teaching, has many positive effects on body and mind. The practice promotes blood circulation and strengthens muscle resilience. It reduces stress. The combination of the two sports in the form of hiking yoga relaxes and revitalizes in harmony with nature. This is entirely in keeping with the holistic recovery concept of the Staudacherhof, the wellness hotel in Bavaria, which is rooted in the unique philosophy of life. BAYURVIDA® culminates.
In hiking yoga, the journey is the destination
Cristian Zanfir, the hotel's yoga instructor, leads the spiritual, mental, and physical journey into nature. The hike begins at the foot of Garmisch-Partenkirchen's "local mountain." The destination: a clearing high up on the mountain, amidst the verdant nature of the Bavarian Alps. The hike is also manageable for beginners and serves as preparation for the subsequent yoga practice. The ascent up the mountain is accompanied by the chirping of birds. Flowers line the path. This is where the meaning of hiking becomes apparent: movement. Simply "being in nature." Feeling at ease in the midst of nature. Enjoying the silence, letting go of stress, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This is wellness for the soul!
The journey to the inner self
Arriving at a bright clearing, the actual practice begins. Aranja Yoga, practiced in hiking yoga, is characterized by gentle and mindful movements. Various meditations and breathing exercises are an important part of the practice. What's particularly nice about outdoor yoga is the abundance of space and low noise levels. The thin mat connects the body to the ground. The earth's energy is palpable. The mind can let go. An experience for all the senses.
The yoga session is followed by a light refreshment. Relaxed and refreshed, we return to the valley together.
