FOREST BATHING

Experience the pleasant atmosphere of the forest. Smell it. Feel it. Listen to the secret language of the trees and feel the healing power of the green giants. “Shinrinyoku“ or “Forest bathing“ has become a recognized stress management method in Japan. Forest bathing is a very slow, attentive and enjoyable experience in nature. There is no goal in forest bathing, one is guided by one‘s senses. Forest bathing is particularly liberating and calming. Please bring along: water bottle, jacket or something similar to sit on and solid shoes.

Our Monika:


My yoga journey began when I was 14 years old. Perhaps inspired by the books “Siddhartha” and “Autobiography of a Yogi”, I went in search of the meaning of life. So I bought a book on yoga and tried to learn the various asanas on my own, as described in the book. It was only many years later that yoga was also teached in South Tyrol. I gladly took up this opportunity.

After only a few meetings, through the conscious practice, the mindful holding of the asanas and the deep relaxation, I felt the beneficial effect of these yoga sessions on my body, my soul and my spirit: I felt how my body became more flexible from hour to hour, both physical and emotional blockages dissolved, I felt more energetic, more balanced, calmer and clearer in my mind.

Impressed by the effect of this practice, the desire arose in me to pass on these experiences to other interested people. So in 2005 I began my training as a yoga teacher. Now I have been teaching yoga for 18 years and feel more than ever that I have only completed one step of an inexhaustible, diverse and mysterious path.

In my classes I try to meet my students’ needs and place great emphasis on self-awareness, breathing and body awareness. My classes are sometimes powerful and flowing, sometimes calm and introspective. The aim of each session is to arrive at one’s inner self, to experience feelings of inner peace, lightness and expansiveness.

Our Melanie:


Passionate yoga teacher, human design coach, raw vegan nutritionist and mum of my little sunshine.

My path to myself began in 2016 when I travelled to India for the first time and was allowed to immerse myself in the yoga teachings in the north of the Himalayas on the Ganges.

After the first yoga training according to the teachings of Swami Sivananda, my journey continued to Bali and I did various further trainings and yoga teacher trainings in Yin Yoga and Jivamukti-open Ashtanga Yoga.

All my learning and experience was allowed to flow together and so the yoga style Lavenja Yoga came into place, which I have now been sharing and practising with my students for years.

Flowing, gentle, mindful, dynamic, empowering and grounding. In my classes I take you on a journey to yourself. Framed with the knowledge that I was allowed to absorb in a Human Design Coaching training.

We practise free of beliefs and pressure, with ease and from inner strength you recognise who you really are and what you need for yourself.
