Yoga with... Thais de la Paz
Thais de la Paz is an experienced yoga teacher who has been offering retreats at Hotel Schwarzschmied regularly for many years. These retreats are strategically scheduled in spring and autumn to celebrate the transition of the seasons. She creates a space for participants to release the old and embrace changes in both nature and life and guides you toward mindful self-awareness and compassionate reflection. Her retreats cultivate love, patience, and self-care, allowing these qualities to accompany you in your daily life.
What role does yoga play in your life?
Yoga has become indispensable for me. I personally use yoga and meditation primarily as tools for greater well-being. They help me to experience each moment with awareness and to consciously welcome both the good and the challenging. For me, yoga is an essential part of a mindful lifestyle in harmony with nature, and I particularly appreciate the diversity that different styles of yoga offer.
What do you hope to share with your students in your yoga classes?
I want to encourage people to treat themselves with love and compassion. Each participant in my classes should feel empowered to practice mindful self-awareness and reflection. Ideally, they will leave with a greater sense of calm, patience, and balance in their everyday lives. By cultivating these values in each individual, I hope to bring more peace, patience, and compassion into the world, step by step.
What would you describe as the core of your philosophy?
Of course, my philosophy consists of many elements, but I always return to the belief that the power of transformation lies within each individual. We have access to this power ourselves, and through my yoga teaching, I aim to cultivate it in every participant. Change - both small and large - begins with self-awareness. I believe yoga and meditation are the best ways to foster this inner transformation.

Thais de la Paz will guide you through three days of relaxing yoga sessions, combining yoga practices with meditation and breathing techniques to bring greater well-being and clarity. Each session is dedicated to one element - Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. In this way, we draw upon the healing qualities of the elements and find inspiration for our yoga and meditation practice, cultivating balance in both body and mind.
Yoga can have a profound impact on many levels of our being. While stretches and asanas keep the body supple, pranayama and meditation help the mind find peace. Thais will guide you toward a deeper dimension of yourself, enriching your life experience in many ways. Enjoy a retreat that will leave you re-energized and full of new perspectives.
