As we all know, the best things in life start with the letter S: S for summer vacation, S for chocolate ice cream or S for Shavasana, probably the most gmiadly and relaxing yoga pose ever. And while we’re on the subject of yoga, of course we also have to talk about S for Suranga, because our yoga teacher and relaxation guru from Sri Lanka is finally in the S for spotlight today.

In fact, it’s hard to imagine the Dorfhotel Glückschmiede without him: It’s been five years since our dear Suranga won us over with his very special way, and now he’s THE person to talk to when it comes to relaxation. As our Ayurveda masseur, he has a real knack for relaxation – but more on that another time – and anyone who has ever attended one of his yoga classes will feel reborn afterwards. Do you want that too? Then grab your yoga mat and stay tuned, because now you’ll find out everything you need to know about Suranga and his yoga classes:

Favorite yoga pose? Lucky devil!
Yoga is all about balancing body and mind through targeted exercises – and with us, you’ll be in luck for free, because thanks to Suranga’s many specializations and certifications, you can choose exactly the right type of yoga for you.

• Hatha Yoga: Balance, baby! This type of yoga combines physical movement, also known as asana, with breathing, pranayama and meditation. You will become more aware of your body, strengthen your muscles, release tension, effectively reduce stress and bring your body and mind back into balance.
• Vinyasa Yoga: It’s all about the flow! The yoga sequences in this type of yoga are more flowing and dynamic than in hatha yoga. You move in harmony with your breath and enter a state of moving meditation. This allows you to mobilize your whole body with ease.
• Quantum Yoga: Yoga meets quantum physics? This type of yoga is strongly tailored to your individual needs and focuses first on your personal Ayurvedic constitution type (your Dosha). The perfect sequence of movements for maximum relaxation is based on this. Enjoy!

Do you fancy trying it all out? Then pack your yoga mat and book a yoga class with Suranga right away.

At the peak of relaxation
Want even more relaxation? Then do as Suranga does and head for the mountains. When his magical hands are not at work in our spa and the yoga mat deserves a break, Suranga loves to be out in nature and take in the incredible mountain scenery. Try it out. Treat yourself to a moment just for you, enjoy the view and let your thoughts simply drift away. The perfect setting for this is right on our doorstep. So, what are you waiting for? Make the most of your summer in S for Saalbach Hinterglemm and book one of our super gourmet rooms now. See you very soon!
