Breathe in. Breathe out. Let it go.
Immerse yourself in nature. Our Mountain Yoga Retreat in the pristine mountain world of Vals is a mindful break. The pure spring water, the good mountain air, many hours of sunshine and calming asanas touch all five senses. Everyday life? Far away. The feeling? Enriching.
You will exercise a lot, eat healthy food, laugh a lot and refresh your body, soul and spirit. Take time to really look after yourself again.
Reset and connect in Vals, 27 – 30 June 2024
Intense yoga, balancing pranayama, silent meditation, but also guided tours through the alpine world of the Grisons, gourmet ‘clean eating’, and time spent together in a wonderful group – all of these will give you ample opportunity to pamper yourself on all levels. Our teacher Jan Leys knows how to create direct connections between yoga, meditation and day-to-day life.
The body and the way it functions have always fascinated Jan Leys, a former dancer from Antwerp. He studied movement under Loyd Williamson. It marked a fresh start on his journey, whose theme had so far been the question: “How do I develop the body into a tool that supports my life?” Working with Loyd Williamson changed the question to: “How do I develop the body into a tool that actually helps me live?”
The subtle, yet significant, difference prompted Jan to familiarise himself with yoga, meditation, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. The philosophies underlying these types of movement greatly influence the Hatha yoga he practices. Jan Leys has been living in Switzerland since 2011, teaching in Herrliberg and Zumikon.
The 7132 Hotel in Vals treats you to the amenities of a 5-star luxury hotel, whereas the 7132 House of Architects offers you inspiring rooms designed by world-class architects, and the thermal baths make you feel like an explorer discovering a mysterious world of stone and water. Even urbanites who are hard to impress tend to be filled with awe when entering the monolithic building by Peter Zumthor that consists of 60,000 slabs of Vals quartzite.
Boiling things down to their essence, and investing each piece of furnishing with the spirit of the whole. At the 7132 Hotel and the 7132 House of Architects, each room is an aesthetic treat for design aficionados, and the architectural theme runs like a thread through the entire hotel complex.
