Quando qualcuno inizia a muoversi, è importante che il corpo non sia un avversario da sconfiggere ma un alleato. Siamo abituati all’atteggiamento secondo il quale più ci impegniamo e più velocemente otteniamo il successo. Nello yoga questo non è del tutto vero. Se costringi il corpo in posizioni alle quali non è ancora pronto, si difenderà da tali impulsi: i muscoli si accorceranno e si induriranno per proteggersi dallo strappo. Inoltre, la natura meditativa della lezione si perde se l’attenzione è distratta da un effetto intenso. È proprio l’accettazione o la non accettazione della situazione attuale che fa la differenza.…

Summer is about to tell the last pages of its exciting story. Ahead of us lies one month of sunshine, of swimming in the sea or in the pool, of shows and entertainment, of strolling and discovering the area by bike. But then, just when we think we have experienced all the warmth of this splendid territory, new and wonderful opportunities present themselves before us. Because Cavallino-Treporti goes beyond the concept of a beach holiday: this is a strip of Veneto to be experienced at any time of the year for the richness of its land, its landscapes, its flora…
When someone starts to move, it is important that the body is not seen as an opponent to be defeated but an ally. We are accustomed to the attitude that the harder we try, the faster we achieve success. In yoga this is not entirely true. If you force the body into positions for which it is not yet ready, it will defend itself against such impulses: the muscles will shorten and harden to protect itself from being pulled. Furthermore, the meditative nature of the lesson is lost if the attention is distracted by an intense effect. It is the…
Let’s discover the marvellous alpine basin that hosts the largest lake in the Veneto region, Lake Santa Croce, and offers breathtaking views at an altitude of over 2000 metres. For hundreds of years the beech trees of Cansiglio donated precious wood for oars to the Serenissima Republic of Venice. Now that forest offers unique emotions for those who love walking or cycling among the greenery and karst cavities. The Alpago manages to offer the splendour of a natural landscape, but also some artefacts that tell the story of the communities that have inhabited it for thousands of years. Just inside…
Thanks to their great decorative versatility and their ‘lack’ of a pot, Tillandsias are populating our homes. But what are they and how do these fascinating grey-green clumps live? Tillandsias are epiphytic plants that grow on trees in tropical forests. They have very few roots, that they use to attach themselves to other trees. To care for it at home, use an orchid fertiliser diluted to 25% once every two months. Water it very day in summer and every 4 to 7 days in winter, depending on the humidity inside the house. You can simply spray it or, if it…
The greatest scourge the Serenissima experienced over the centuries was the bubonic plague. The two deadliest epidemics were in 1570 and in 1630. How did the Venetians counter this terrible disease? With lazarettos. When the plague appeared in the city, it was decided to isolate all plague victims by confining them to the island of the old lazaretto, opposite the Lido, to isolate them from the rest of the population. It was later decided that all those arriving in Venice from abroad, before entering the city, should spend forty days on the island of the New Lazzaretto, near Sant’Erasmo, together…

During summer it’s important to protect oneself from mosquitoes: their bites are not only annoying, but could also transmit serious diseases called arboviruses. The most common symptoms of these diseases are fever and general malaise, with possible serious complications for the elderly and the frail and debilitated. Skin repellents help protect us from their stings, but it is important to use suitable products with proper application. Apply the repellent after sunscreen to avoid impairing its protective action and intensify repellent application on evening outings: the common mosquito, Culex Pipiens, bites mainly from dusk to dawn. SAFETY FOR TOURISTS AND RESIDENTS…
Dogs have several mechanisms for regulating their body temperature and dissipating heat. The skin, which is the body’s largest organ, plays a key role in this function because it regulates body temperature and acts as a protective barrier against pathogens and infectious agents. The fingertips in particular are the first place dogs sweat through. In addition, dogs use its mouth and airways to dissipate body heat. Panting is a mechanism by which air from the lungs is evaporated through the dog’s tongue and nose. Another method used is ‘vasodilation’, which helps cooling down through the face’ and ears’ blood vessels.
Finally, on July 20th, the most eagerly awaited film of the year came out in cinemas: Barbie. Thanks to the many expectations that have been created around this production, a trend has developed that makes us see the world all in pink. Barbie has invaded all social platforms and awoke in everyone the desire to adopt the style of “real fiction”, eccentric, glittery and excessively fake. But there is more. What the film wants to highlight is an interpretation of Barbie that no longer sees her as an unattainable and perfect icon, but as the representation of all women, without…
