Hiking & Yoga at AVIVA is not only an active holiday, but also an opportunity to make new friends and experience unforgettable moments. Join us and discover the perfect balance between activity and relaxation!’
Enjoy yoga on green meadows at the edge of the forest with a marvellous view over the Mühlviertel. Explore the Bohemian Forest on group hikes. Whether you are experienced or inexperienced, everyone can take part in our yoga sessions. The hikes lead through the gentle hilly landscape and are therefore suitable for all fitness levels.
The combination of yoga and hiking allows participants to enjoy the benefits of both activities.Yoga can be practised before or after a hike to warm up the muscles, increase flexibility and promote relaxation. This can help to alleviate possible tension or muscle fatigue after hiking. At the same time, hiking can heighten the senses, increase awareness and provide an ideal setting for mindful practices, which in turn deepen the yoga experience.
The combination of physical exercise, experiencing nature and inner contemplation makes the combination of yoga and hiking an enriching and holistic experience for body and mind.
