Franziska Diepold
8. - 24. February 2025
Franziska started out skeptical but soon developed a deep love for yoga. In 2021, she began her first Liquid Flow Yoga training, followed by numerous others. Her holistic classes nurture the body, mind, and soul equally. Through her flows, she aims to cultivate space, relaxation, tension, calm, connection, energy, and trust. She often provides participants with thought-provoking impulses to carry the experiences from the mat into their "real" lives.

Shine Your Light Yoga Special
Brené Brown defines authenticity as “the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” This yoga class invites you to reconnect with your fullest, brightest, most radiant self—and release anything that holds you back.
Through a Full Body Clearing, we’ll use dynamic movements to stimulate lymphatic flow and detoxification, shedding unnecessary mental and physical baggage we don’t need for our practice. Gentle sun salutations will prepare the body for a heart-opening flow.
Let’s SHINE!

Yoga Retreats
In need of an energy boost? This package offers you five days at Schwarzschmied filled with stimulating activities. To give you fresh energy for everyday life, we’ll awaken your vitality with a program of yoga, fitness, and massages. Challenge yourself with a class of Power Vinyasa Yoga led by Hanni Thönni, and build your fitness with Samantha’s Functional Fitness Training. An invigorating massage with a kidney wrap will revitalize your entire body. This package transforms your vacation into sustainable relaxation, allowing you to return refreshed and energized.
Included is breakfast and an "Arise light" menu at our Slow Food restaurant "La Fucina," which delights your palate with fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. Daily yoga classes, bicycle rental, and guided hiking tours are also available, as well as our spa and wellness area.
Return to your daily life revitalized and full of new energy.
We sit in the office, we sit in the car, and we sit on the couch. A sedentary lifestyle is not natural for us and can easily leave us feeling sluggish, tired, and downcast. Our energy dims, we tense up, and start feeling tight within. We long for movement, for space, for the vibrant thrill of life and flowing energy.
Indulge yourself:
Power Vinyasa with Hanni
Powerful, flowing movement sequences for an alert, lively day.
Functional Fitness Training with Samantha
Actively connect with your body and challenge yourself.
Invigorating massage and kidney wrap
Enjoy the revitalizing effects on both body and mind.
Arise light menu
A healthy, balanced diet that contains all essential vitamins and micronutrients. The ingredients in our menus come from our Arnica Acker and selected local suppliers in the surrounding area.
Tension and relaxation. This duality is central to yoga and should also have its place in everyday life. Guided by this principle, this package offers both challenging activities that allow you to feel your body - whether through an extended hike or a demanding yoga session - and moments of pure relaxation - with a massage, by the pool, or in one of our relaxation rooms.
Let our mountain guide take you on a journey through green valleys, rugged peaks, and crystal-clear alpine lakes. In the fresh mountain air you can breathe deeply, finding peace with each step. Your gaze wanders over the peaks and across the valleys.
At the same time our yoga offerings with sessions across all yoga styles bring you closer to yourself. Focus on your breath and let our yoga instructors challenge, ground, and center you. Your stay is accompanied by culinary delights from our Slow Food restaurant, where fresh, regional ingredients are used daily to delight your palate.
Embark on a journey to yourself and find your center through South Tyrol’s beautiful nature. Create space for your inner balance.
Tension brings relaxation – learn to let go, ground yourself, and find your center. Our yoga instructors will guide you on this journey of self-discovery. Let your body and mind equally benefit from this time away. Focus on yourself during nine intensive yoga sessions, deepening the connection between body and mind, and feeling at home within yourself.
Our chefs will indulge you with fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients, carefully prepared in our Slow Food kitchen. With the wellness voucher you can enjoy some pampering in the spa, and the Schwarzschmied Activity Program invites you to explore the surroundings through guided hikes or bike tours.
We offer you space: to challenge yourself, to let go, and to rediscover who you are.
