Program
A breather from everyday life. During the retreat, we’ll explore various elements of yoga together.
Breath and its effects will be a central focus:

- Pranayama Yoga, a flowing and powerful yoga practice centered on the body.
- Hatha Yoga: stabilizing movement sequences and strengthening poses combined with mindful breathing.
- Yin Yoga: a very gentle and meditative form of yoga that works on the fascia.
- Breathing exercises & meditation: mental clarity and inner balance through mindfulness practices.

The program will be varied and spread out over the course of the retreat. The schedule may change slightly depending on the weather, group dynamics, and individual needs.

Between yoga sessions, you’ll have plenty of free time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Schwägalp. Whether it’s a walk through the idyllic Weidwald, relaxing hours in the wellness area, or a hike up the Säntis—take time for yourself and recharge your energy at the Schwägalp, a place of healing.


Instructor
Melanie Stalder will guide you through the retreat. A certified yoga teacher (E-RYT® 500), she teaches Yin Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, and Aerial Yoga. I prefer classical asanas from Hatha Yoga and enjoy incorporating elements such as pranayama, meditation, mantras, music, and flowing Vinyasa sequences.
