Yoga lovers have a charming new home: the mountains of Valle d’Aosta. The Yoga Mountain Festival takes place from June 17 through July 8, 2018. Numerous events are planned in some of the most evocative, historical places in the Alpine region. An ideal place to find yourself and get in tune with the truly extraordinary mother nature of Valle d’Aosta. The events are not only for enthusiasts, but also for beginners who want to discover this discipline that combines body, mind and spirit, and contributes to well-being and quality of life.
“The Valle d’Aosta is an ideal place to live thanks to its nature, untouched landscapes, its appreciated tranquility; these characteristics are well matched with the practice of Yoga and the Yoga Mountain Festival was born with the intent to make the Valle d’Aosta known as an ideal place for this millenary practice – commented the Regional Tourism Councilor, Aurelio Marguerettaz -. A “healthy” way to be able to appreciate nearby special places in the region and enjoy the benefits of Yoga.”
The theme of this edition of the Festival is “United in beauty”, to signify the magical encounter between the beauty of the Valle d’Aosta landscapes and its relaxing atmospheres with all the benefits of yoga.
