PLOSE/ Berlin, March 2025 In a hectic world full of appointments and digital distractions, family yoga offers a special opportunity to consciously take time for each other as a family. AKI Family Resort PLOSE has developed concepts that combine this shared experience with the health benefits of yoga practice. Family yoga thus creates a deep connection between parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren - in the midst of a magical mountain world and undisturbed by everyday duties.
Family yoga strengthens physical fitness, promotes concentration and helps both parents and children to reduce stress. At the same time, it supports children's emotional development by giving them self-confidence and teaching them to be mindful of their bodies. In addition to the health benefits, family yoga aims to create a conscious, loving and playful connection. The exercises are designed to be child-friendly and invite intuitive movements, gentle stretches and breathing exercises. Families learn to support each other, practise patience and inspire each other. This creates a feeling of security and belonging - important foundations for a harmonious family atmosphere.
Laugh, learn, let go: Family yoga at the AKI Family Resort
With the yoga pavilion, the AKI Family Resort PLOSE provides a special place of peace and meditation for a shared yoga experience. In addition to regular yoga classes for parents and children, the resort offers special courses for expectant mothers and fitness and wellbeing activities for different age groups. Here, families experience yoga in the midst of nature, in an environment that harmoniously combines relaxation and activity. Yoga teacher Katharina Stifter describes the special power of this intergenerational practice as follows: "Family yoga is a wonderful way for parents and children to reconnect with each other - beyond the daily grind, without distractions, completely in the moment. It's not about mastering perfect poses, but about feeling each other in a light-hearted way, building trust and experiencing the joy of movement together. When parents practise yoga together with their children, a deep and healing connection of mindfulness, closeness and genuine togetherness can develop."
Unique family yoga retreat
From April 13 to 17, 2025, AKI Family Resort PLOSE is teaming up with Monkey Yoga for a special family yoga retreat - a unique combination of relaxation, exercise and nature experience for parents and children. The retreat is designed to give adults valuable time out for themselves, while children are immersed in the world of yoga in a fun and engaging way. For parents, there are daily yoga sessions ranging from relaxed flow units to more intensive core training. Grounding yin yoga techniques help you to let go and recharge your batteries during 'deep release'.
Forest spirit adventures and "Happy Neck"
Imaginative yoga experiences await the kids, such as a journey into space or a forest spirit adventure, complemented by dream journeys and child-friendly mindfulness exercises. For families, there are special family yoga sessions in which parents and children playfully stand together on the mat - a wonderful opportunity for closeness and relaxation together! The morning begins with the "Good morning flow" for an energetic start to the day, while the afternoon is dedicated to creative children's yoga sessions. And the evening is all about gentle regeneration with "Happy Neck" for shoulders and neck or "Rise & Shine Yoga" with a focus on backbends and twists.
