Yoga and sailing on Lake Garda: a summer weekend that feels like a real holiday

What to do over the weekend to find your inner rhythm

Do you feel the need to slow down?
A weekend on Lake Garda, between yoga and sailing in a small group, is the simplest way to find your rhythm again.

Lake Garda is the home of the wind: in the morning it blows from the north, in the afternoon from the south.
This same rhythm will guide your days, between yoga, sailing, moments of rest, and shared meals on board, prepared with care.

Your day begins with a yoga practice in the morning. Then you board a sailing boat to explore Lake Garda and its small villages, set against the mountains, from an exclusive perspective, far from the crowds.

There is time for a swim, to listen to the wind, and lose yourself in the views.
Watch the lake change colour, live in the present moment, and truly slow down.

At sunset, a meditation session on a lakeside meadow closes the day.

On Friday and Saturday nights, if you wish, you can sleep on the boat.

If you are drawn to this experience, don’t wait too long.

Why right here at Lake Garda?

Lake Garda amazes with the variety of its landscapes: vertical cliffs plunging into the water, gentle hills with a Mediterranean flavour, small villages by the lake, silent but alive.

It is the most Mediterranean of the Alpine lakes. In the north, the lake is narrow, squeezed between mountains; further south it widens, and the hills soften the landscape.
And that’s exactly why the wind blows so regularly here: fresh and sharp from the north in the morning, warmer and more constant from the south in the afternoon. That’s why they say Garda is the home of the wind.

Living Lake Garda by sailing boat, slowly, among small villages, gravel beaches, terraces of olive trees, lemons, and oleanders, will make you feel good. Practising yoga in this landscape helps you breathe better and feel part of the environment around you.

This weekend is an opportunity to reclaim your time, let go, and rediscover your balance.

Here you can recharge and realign body and mind with the rhythms of nature.

Aboard the sailing boat La Perla

La Perla is an Irwin54 sailing boat, with two masts and two headsails. A masterpiece of American nautical craftsmanship: fast, safe, with large spaces, wooden interiors, and elegant details.

Gli spazi sono generosi, anche in navigazione. Puoi rilassarti sul ponte, provare a timonare, partecipare alle manovre con Massimo –  il tuo skipper, istruttore di vela, di yoga e organizzatore di questa esperienza – o semplicemente goderti gli scorci gardesani e la compagnia di un piccolo gruppo di persone.There is plenty of space, even while sailing.
You can relax on deck, try your hand at steering, help with maneuvers with Massimo – your skipper, sailing instructor, yoga teacher, and organiser of this experience – or simply enjoy the Garda landscapes and the company of a small group.

Meals are prepared on board and shared on deck, in an informal and friendly atmosphere. The menu is simple, healthy, and in line with the spirit of the experience.

“It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced sailor or a yoga expert.
When you live this experience, the result is always the same: a regenerating psycho-physical reset, equivalent to a week-long vacation, whether you join for the weekend or just for one day.
I still don’t know why this ‘magic’ happens, but it happens to me every time, for the past four years, even though I’m the organiser and leader.”
Massimo

If you want to sleep on board, you can choose between:

• Single cabin with shared bathroom, €300 for the entire weekend
• Double cabin with shared reserved bathroom, €330 for the entire weekend
• Owner’s cabin with private bathroom, €370 for the entire weekend

If you prefer to join for just one day, including morning and evening practices, the cost is €120.

Yoga and meditation with a lake view

The practices take place on the lawn of the Rocca of Riva del Garda, overlooking the lake.
Every day, two sessions are scheduled: hatha yoga or meditation, guided by Massimo.

Massimo’s classes combine strength and lightness, sound and movement, and sometimes a shamanic drum will accompany your breathing.

Yoga practice will be an opportunity to reconnect with your inner world and what you truly need.

“This experience is for you if you are looking for authenticity and real time just for yourself.If you feel the need to slow down and observe yourself without filters: in your gestures, your habits, the way you move and live within the space.The boat welcomes you like a home on the water: it asks for attention, respect, presence.You will feel in the right place if you love the wind, the water, the slow movement of sailing; if you are curious to learn something new or simply want to let yourself be cradled. If you enjoy meeting others with openness and sharing the practice of yoga in nature, here you will feel part of its simple rhythms and be reminded of how much beauty surrounds you.Together, without forcing anything. Simply living the lake, the wind, and your breath.”
