Yoga & Breakfast on Lake Maggiore: Start Your Saturday the Right Way
Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning in Brissago, on the shores of Lake Maggiore. The air is fresh, the water is still, and the mountains of Ticino are reflected in the calm surface of the lake. Before the day begins, before the world wakes up — there is one hour just for you.
This is the spirit behind Yoga & Breakfast, our Saturday morning ritual at Garden Hotel Primavera, Ticino’s first plant-based hotel on Lake Maggiore.
What is Yoga & Breakfast?
Every Saturday morning at 8:00 AM, certified yoga instructor Kallu Diamante leads a one-hour Hatha Yoga session on our panoramic terrace overlooking Lake Maggiore on in our Magnolia Room. The session is designed for all levels — whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner, you will find your rhythm in this peaceful setting.
After the class, at 9:00 AM, participants are invited to stay and enjoy our vegan organic breakfast buffet — homemade cakes, fresh seasonal fruits, plant-based spreads, savoury specialities and local organic products, all prepared fresh by Isabella and Maurizio every morning.
It is more than a yoga class. It is a complete Saturday morning experience that nourishes body and mind.
Who is Kallu Diamante?
Kallu Diamante has been practising yoga for over 16 years and has been a certified instructor since 2016. Her approach to yoga is accessible, warm and deeply personal. As she says:
“Yoga entered my life during a time of high stress, leading me to choose a path of mindfulness and presence.”
Her Saturday classes reflect this philosophy — an invitation to slow down, breathe and reconnect with yourself, surrounded by the natural beauty of Lake Maggiore and the Swiss Alps.

Why Brissago is the Perfect Place for a Yoga Retreat
Brissago is one of the warmest and most sheltered villages on Lake Maggiore, sitting at the southernmost tip of the Swiss canton of Ticino. With its Mediterranean microclimate, lush gardens and breathtaking views over the lake and the Brissago Islands, it offers a natural setting that is hard to match anywhere in Switzerland.
As one of our guests recently wrote on TripAdvisor: “The early mornings are perfect for yoga and a view. Also the lake is super close!” 
At Garden Hotel Primavera, we have built our entire philosophy around this idea — that wellbeing starts with the right environment. The lake, the mountains, the garden, the silence of a Saturday morning. All of this is waiting for you.
How to Join
You do not need to be a hotel guest to attend our Saturday Yoga & Breakfast. The session is open to everyone — locals, visitors, travellers passing through Ticino.
