This holiday is something for you if you are looking for a relaxing and healthy start of the new year, if you love nature, or if you are simply looking for a special winter holiday in a beautiful place. This retreat is all about self-care, taking time for you! We have designed a program to feed body, mind and soul with delicious Italian food, daily yoga & meditation sessions and outdoor activities to enjoy nature but also relax at the spa and enjoy the view. The yoga classes and other activities will be tailored to the individuals in the group and previous experience is not needed. All activities are optional, so if you rather stay in and enjoy the comfortable lounge room or the spa you're welcome to do so!

The Pineta Nature Resort

4* Hotel in Trentino. 880 meters above sea level at the famous area of Val di Non. A place where the scent of wood is combined with that of essential oils, good food, and active life in the open air. Every space at the hotel is designed for relaxation. The Pineta is not the usual hotel, but a familiar mountain resort consisting of three small houses and four Trentino-style chalets spread over the meadows.

During our Retreat we will also enjoy the wellness center Hedonè, where you can enjoy the beneficial effect of water immersed in the Jacuzzi, regenerate your whole body by breathing the balsamic air of the Finnish sauna and steam baths. You can also enjoy treatments inspired by nature. They have designed and manufactured cosmetics with active ingredients based on apple, queen of the Val di Non, and fragrant creams like the flowers of the mountains.

Yoga and Meditation

During the retreat, you'll experience daily yoga and meditation sessions with Aviv, designed to align body and mind. Each morning, we'll begin with an invigorating yet mindful vinyasa flow, incorporating breathwork, detox practices, Qigong, face yoga and meditation. During Shavasana, you'll be treated to a soothing head massage with Lakshmi essential oils, followed by a healing sound bath.

In the evenings, we’ll explore restorative yoga, yoga Nidra, and yin yoga, or dive into movement and dancing meditation. Depending on the weather and group preferences, additional classes or a special Tantric ceremony may be offered.

All sessions are thoughtfully tailored to each participant’s level, allowing everyone to engage at their own pace. My aim is to create classes that empower you, deepen the connection between mind and body, and foster the perfect energy for each moment of the day. Every class has a theme, with a strong emphasis on the breath as our guide.


SNOW SHOE HIKING

Snow-covered mountains are a quiet winter wonderland that is best explored by foot. The Retreat will take you on guided mountain walks to soak up the peace and beauty nature has to offer. We might see wildlife too. Do you prefer to go out on your own or joing a ski class? No problem.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

In addition to yoga classes and guided hikes, there’s so much more to experience! We’ll immerse ourselves in a traditional Trentino cuisine cooking class, enjoy a guided sauna session, learn about local herbs through a tea ceremony, and relax with Tibetan sound bath healing in the spa, as well as a unique Watsu with  sound healing session. Wine tasting and other special activities will also be part of the retreat.

For those who love skiing, the nearby slopes offer both downhill and cross-country skiing.
