Tuscan spa resort Grotta Giusti has launched yoga in a millennial thermal cave with natural therapeutic steam baths – perhaps one of the world’s most unusual yoga offerings?
Grotta Giusti is a historic Tuscan spa retreat, home to an ancient Grotto – a millennial thermal cave and a thermal underground hot spring lake – which famed composer, Giuseppe Verdi, regarded as the eighth wonder of the world.
The hotel is offering thermal yoga classes in this ancient wonder. The warmth of the underground labyrinth amplifies sensations, aids concentration and raises body temperature whilst guests benefit from the therapeutic effects of the cave’s thermal vapours.
The water running through the Grotto is rich in salt, sulphate, and alkaline earth and comes out of the ground at around 34°C. Its vapours generate a steam bath that provides effective treatment for respiratory, circulatory, osteo-muscular, nervous, and skin complaints.
The hotel is also introducing a two-night spa package which includes floating therapy or scuba diving in the grotto’s underground thermal lake, alongside the thermal yoga and topped off with an Ayurvedic Massage.
