Yoga fusion and “yogawalking”: Villa Eden’s paths to longevity

A programme focused on longevity and holistic wellbeing. This is how Villa Eden The Private Retreat in Merano is celebrating International Yoga Day. Under the guidance of Paola Dal Farra, yoga trainer and coach, guests can experience innovative disciplines such as Yoga Fusion, a blend of various styles of Hatha Yoga that uses props such as balls, sticks and belts to promote postural realignment of the spine. The retreat, managed by Angelika Schmid, also offers ‘Yogawalking’, a practice that combines Nordic walking with poles and traditional asanas (postures), stimulating coordination, muscular endurance and postural stability amidst the South Tyrolean countryside. What sets the Longevity Retreat apart is its holistic approach, which integrates the essential disciplines to offer guests a transformative experience, ranging from cutting-edge treatments to personalised nutrition programmes.
