Join Heidi and Lucy of Greener Postures Yoga for 6 nights / 7 days of wellness, mountain air, and restoration in the Dolomites of Northern Italy.
Your retreat will be based at Hotel Das Paradies in the village of Latsch, perched at the entrance of Stelvio National Park—the largest protected area in Italy. With 315 days of sun per year, the Vinschgau Valley sits at the border between Alpine and Mediterranean regions, creating a unique dry, sunny microclimate.
This family-run, 5‑star retreat center is surrounded by apple orchards, organic farms, and panoramic mountain views, offering a peaceful backdrop to be in nature, practice daily yoga classes with Heidi and Lucy, and enjoy time with like‑minded people.
During your week, you’ll enjoy spacious wellness facilities, three types of sauna (including traditional aufguss experiences), heated indoor pools, and beautifully prepared local food true to the Alpine region. Included excursions will take you into the surrounding mountains and to the historic spa town of Merano, and finish off with a winery tour and tasting at a local vineyard.
We’ve also built in free time so you can retreat in your own way—whether that means additional spa treatments, exploring nearby villages, or cycling and hiking in the mountains.
Breakfast and dinner are included daily, along with most lunches, and the kitchen can accommodate most dietary preferences. The food is nourishing, seasonal, and locally sourced so you can experience authentic South Tyrolean fare.
ALL PRICES LISTED ARE PER PERSON and a €500 per person non-refundable deposit is due to reserve your spot on the trip. Trip balances are due 120 days prior to departure, and a three installment payment plan will be set up for you upon registration. If you'd like to inquire about alternative payment plan options or have retreat related questions, please email the registrations team at info@solseedretreats.com.

The purchase of travel insurance is required for this trip.
Most travel insurance policies can help protect you in the event of unexpected trip delays or cancellations due to airline disruptions, family emergencies, illness, or injury. Coverage can also help demonstrate to the host country that you are financially prepared to cover emergency services that may be needed during your stay.
SolSeed does not sell or provide travel insurance. Any insurance offers you may see during checkout are provided by third-party providers, and you are free to choose the policy and provider that best fit your needs.
If you’d like a convenient place to compare options, we’ve found InsureMyTrip to be a helpful online marketplace. We’ve also had excellent experiences with Trawick International and their customer service, and have heard consistently positive feedback from AAA and American Express members who have purchased travel insurance through those organizations. Additionally, some travel-focused credit cards—such as the Chase Sapphire® cards—may include built-in travel insurance benefits when trip-related expenses are paid with the card. Coverage and eligibility vary by card and issuer, so we recommend reviewing your card’s benefits guide or contacting the card issuer directly to confirm what protections apply.
We strongly encourage you to speak directly with a travel insurance agent to discuss your specific coverage needs and to make sure you understand what your policy does—and does not—cover.
