Proposed experience
"Regenerating above the spring" · Hatha yoga in the walled garden
An hour of hatha yoga on the grass of the walled garden, beside the outdoor pool at 31 degrees, with Elena, a teacher at Hotel Boffenigo – The Golden Hour. Around you, the silence of the 17th-century courtyard; beneath, the hottest hyperthermal spring ever found near Verona. Afterwards, a warm herbal tea in the ground-floor relaxation room.
Calendar

In case of bad weather:
Confirmed. In fine weather the practice takes place in the walled garden, by the outdoor pool; if the weather turns, in the ground-floor relaxation room. Elena decides on the morning itself.
Duration
La mattina
11:00 - 12:00
Why choose this experience
A) Practise inside a 17th-century walled garden. Not an open park: a garden closed by walls, with the old basins on the wall and the paved courtyard a few steps away. The restoration that saved it earned the villa the Premio Villa Veneta 2018 and 5 Leoni, the Veneto Region’s highest grade.
B) Know what lies beneath you. Under the grass where you lay your mat runs the hottest hyperthermal spring ever found in the province of Verona: 52.9 degrees. Its heat, stepped down, warms the pool beside you and the water of the house. Nothing is burned to obtain it, nothing is lost. Its energy gets to you.
C) Two houses of the same family, one practice. Elena teaches at Hotel Boffenigo in Costermano del Garda (http://www.boffenigo.com), a four-star superior hotel, and for one day she brings her work here. There are twelve places: no loudspeakers, no queues.
Price per person: 10,00 €
Facilitation: Mats are provided by the villa: just bring a towel.
What includes: The sixty minutes of practice with Elena, a teacher at Hotel Boffenigo, the mat, and a warm herbal tea in the ground-floor relaxation room afterwards.
What it doesn't include: It does not include access to the pools and the thermal bath, nor to the suites, which are reserved for guests staying at the villa.
Cancellation conditions: Until the day before, by phone or email: there are twelve places, and freeing one allows someone else to come.
Additional payment notes: On site before starting the yoga session. Cash and card payments are accepted.

Technical notes
The experience is held together with Hotel Boffenigo in Costermano del Garda, a four-star superior hotel belonging to the same family. Meeting point in front of the main gate of Villa Padovani, via Piovezzano Vecchia 48 in Piovezzano di Pastrengo (VR), at 11:50 a.m. There is no parking in front of the villa: we recommend leaving your car near the church of Piovezzano and walking to the gate.
Accessibility
The walled garden is at ground level, with no stairs, but the ground is grass and old paving: it can be reached in a wheelchair with someone to help. The practice can be followed seated.
