Following its inception in the United Nations General Assembly in 2014, the International Day of Yoga has been celebrated annually on 21 June. Recognizing the benefits of this ancient Indian practice, hotels around the world created amazing yoga settings and spaces for guests to invigorate themselves in peaceful surroundings and enjoy yoga classes and sessions at some of the most breathtaking locations.
Tschuggen Grand Hotel
Located in the Alpine region of Arosa, a member of Swiss Deluxe Hotels, the Tschuggen Grand Hotel and its uniquely designed Tschuggen Bergoase Spa are famous for the various wellness experiences they offer, including yoga classes. Taking place both at the spa overlooking the spectacular Alps and outside in a secluded spot on the Tschuggen Mountain, guests can start their day or unwind after spending the daytime on the hiking and biking trails by becoming one with nature and taking in their peaceful and stunning surroundings. Directly following their yoga class, they can enjoy a relaxing spa treatment or take a dip in one of the Tschuggen Bergoase’s indoor or outdoor pools.
FORESTIS
Tucked away in the remote Italian Dolomites, FORESTIS is a five-star mountain retreat surrounded by the four elements of pure spring water, pristine mountain air, endless sunshine, and mild climate. Yogis can enjoy a true yoga experience this International Day of Yoga in the style of the Celtic Druids, who once wandered the surrounding forests and believed in the healing power of nature to unite humankind. Wyda, the yoga of the Celts, brings additional energy, flexibility, and inner centering through the movement exercises and mediation. At FORESTIS, this practice teaches in the Traditional European Medicine to relax the mind, train concentration and perception, release blockages, and harmonize the flow of energy.

The carefully curated lush and secret Mediterranean garden of the hotel also provides pure scents as it includes a lavender field, orange and lemon trees, and an herb garden along with large outdoor art installations. The hotel features grand emerald green swimming pool, spacious terrace and the hotel’s three houses, where yogis can meditate and practice yoga also.
