SNOW.YOGA.FUN retreat
9-16 march 2013
have you ever thought about SNOW-YOGA?
With the adrenaline rush of riding through fresh powder combined with mountain air, sunshine and the chance to completely let go, it's no wonder the addictiveness of skiing and snowboarding appeal to so many.
The slow and thoughtful practice of yoga in contrast seems very far removed from the high-energy, fast paced action of the slopes. Yet their differences make them totaly complimentary to each other.
The last thing you want to happen when you come on holiday is to injure yourself. Especially if the sun is shining and there's a fresh blanket of snow. So by using your daily yoga practice to strengthen and improve your stamina and then stretch out tired muscles at the end of the day, you're not only looking after your body but giving yourself a good chance. Instead of a hot toddy, try yoga after a day on the mountain.
