Our Yoga Instructors
Frequently Asked Questions from Our Guests
Is yoga strenuous?
It all depends on the style of yoga: The more dynamic the style, the more strenuous—or even “sweat-inducing”—the yoga class will be. However, keep in mind that even passive styles of yoga, which focus on stretching, relaxation, and holding asanas, still challenge our bodies. Sweat is not the be-all and end-all, nor is it a measure of success in yoga!
Can anyone practice yoga?
Yoga is so diverse that there is essentially a style to suit every need and every physical constitution. Pranayama—breathing exercises—can be practiced by anyone and serves as an important foundation. However, it doesn’t hurt to have a doctor assess your physical constitution beforehand.
What wellness options are available at the Sporthotel Alpenblick?

Can I combine yoga with hiking or other sports?

What do I need to bring for a yoga vacation—are mats provided?
All you need for your yoga vacation is comfortable workout clothes. Yoga mats and all the necessary equipment are, of course, available at the Alpenblick Sports Resort.
Do I need to meet certain requirements or be in good physical shape to participate in the yoga classes?
Yoga is very personalized; the exercises can be adapted to any fitness level. This means you can start practicing yoga at any time. Special classes for beginners gently guide you through the very first steps. Don’t be afraid to give it a try! 😊
Do you need a spiritual approach to yoga?
Yoga doesn't have to lead everyone down the “divine path.” It simply helps us live more in the here & now, become more aware of our needs and our surroundings, find our inner balance—and, last but not least, keep our bodies fit and healthy.
What styles of yoga are offered (Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa)?
At the Alpenblick Sports Resort, you’ll find a diverse range of yoga classes with different focuses. Depending on the program, the sessions emphasize either relaxation or invigoration, bringing body and mind into harmony.
How often are yoga classes held, and are they included in the room rate?
Regular yoga classes are part of the activity program and are often already included for hotel guests. You can find the current schedule in the weekly program for the Alpenblick Sports Resort.
Is yoga also practiced outdoors—by the lake or in the mountains?
Weather permitting, select yoga sessions will also take place outdoors. The unique natural setting of Zell am See creates a particularly relaxing atmosphere for your yoga practice.
Are there any Pilates classes or Pilates retreats?
In addition to yoga, Pilates classes are also a regular part of the hotel’s activity program. Pilates is ideal for strengthening the core and perfectly complements an active wellness vacation in the Salzburg region.
How long does a typical yoga weekend last, and how much does it cost?
A yoga weekend typically includes two to four nights' lodging, several yoga sessions, and additional included amenities. Prices vary depending on the season, room category, and scope of the program, and can be requested directly from the Alpenblick Sports Resort.
