A country full of beauty and diversity, it invites you to take a deep breath and arrive. From the animal-rich plains of the east to the plant paradise of the west, this multi-faceted expanse offers a unique setting for the perfect combination of yoga, hiking and mindfulness.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The trip combines up to two outdoor yoga sessions a day with the breathtaking nature of South Africa. The intensity and length of the yoga practice depends on the respective daily programme and is perfectly coordinated. In the morning, for example, you will start with a dynamic, activating yoga session (Hatha or Flows), while gentle Yin Yoga, stretching and mobility exercises in the evening will ensure that you feel powerful, energised and relaxed at the same time. Breathing techniques (pranayama) strengthen the lungs and bring fresh energy, while meditation helps you to arrive in the moment, find inner peace and clarity and reflect on what you have experienced.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Yoga and hiking complement each other perfectly: while yoga centres the body and mind, strengthens the muscles and promotes flexibility, hiking in the vastness of nature opens up space for clarity and grounding.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The South African landscape is a constant companion to this unique experience.
