Join us for a gentle hike and yoga retreat in the Swiss Alps. We will practice outdoor yoga and meditation between mountains and lake. This secret spot I’ll take you to is just one hour from Zürich. Sometimes, you don’t have to travel far to feel like you’re in another world. The scenery is lovely, with the mountains plunging into the turquoise lake. We’ll hike through vineyards and apple orchards, and even end the day with a boat ride on the lake. It’s the perfect get-away to begin your summer with some dolce vita in the mountains of Switzerland!
