“Discover the perfect combination of hiking and yoga at the AVIVA! Here you have the opportunity not only to explore the beautiful nature, but also to make like-minded friends and have fun.”
Our hikes take you through breathtaking landscapes where you can enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of the surroundings. The yoga sessions offer you the opportunity to harmonise body and mind and relax.
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.
Trainer: Petra Köhler
