1st weekend 15-16th dec #mountains
Whether you are looking to supercharge your fitness or try something new in the mountains our winter ski fit retreats give you the opportunity to grasp ski touring techniques in a fun and sociable environment, explore Verbier in a new way and test your body with some innovative outdoor fitness sessions. Not only that a weekend spent in the beautiful Swiss alps will restore your mind as well as your body.
NATURE - reap the benefits
Working out in nature is the ultimate antidote to modern life. Scarily modern life and chronic stress is having a detrimental effect on our brains. Amazingly working out in nature has been proven to reverse this effect so you can save yourself and reap some positive mood benefits too. Is life stressing you out? The long term build up of cortisol in your brain is associated with numerous health problems as well as physiological changes in the brain. There is a disruption to synaptic regulation and chronic stress can lead to the shrinking of the prefrontal cortex the area responsible for learning and memory. Don't worry neuroplasticity means we can reverse these changes to neural pathways.
Boost your body, mind and brain !

We all know exercise is good for your body in numerous ways. A sweaty workout can reduce anxiety, depression and increase self esteem and sex drive. You get the feel good factor with a boost to your dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitters too. Evidence says aerobic exercise preserves memory, brain volume and executive functioning. The effect is magnified when you work out in nature. Ideally this is untouched wilderness but even being surrounded by trees and green space will do your brain a favour. Gardens have long been known for their therapeutic benefits and have been conscientiously built in urban areas to diffuse the madness. ‘The art of healing comes from nature not from the physician’ Paracelsus.
ALTITUDE - reap the BENEFITS
Whatever you are training for the benefits of working at altitude are unequivocal it has been done for decades by professionals to give them the edge and now normal people are coming to the mountains to get a boost in their fitness levels.

This view. There is nothing like escaping to the mountains to give your mind, body and soul a wellbeing boost. We are hosting ski fit weekends throughout this winter designed around outdoor fitness.
Spend the morning with a guide learning ski touring techniques and getting some serious elevation gain. You will use 4 times more energy than downhill skiing and get to experience the mountain in a new way.
The afternoon is a mix of classes from high altitude circuits to yoga. Think hill sprints at 2200m then deep systematic stretches to ensure optimal recovery.
All levels are welcome; from beginners to seasoned pros our small group sizes ensure the training is tailored and individual goals are met.
We also organise bespoke ski touring days for private groups of friends wanting to create a unique experience. Think overnight cabin stays, exploring the wilderness and most of all fun with your friends.

Aerial yoga what is it?
More than anything is a unique feeling. A weightlessness that you get when floating in water combined with the feeling of flying. The hammock allows you to get into positions you otherwise wouldn’t reach and you can literally move like a monkey working on your strength, agility, coordination, balance and of course flexibility.
It’s a playful and fun restorative practice which can reverse the effects of gravity helping to decompress the spine, reduce muscle tension and improve blood circulation. You can use the hammock as a tool to practice inversions; getting used to being upside down and building strength for handstands etc.
Hanging upside down massively helps your awareness of body alignment and all those inversions take the blood away from your feet and aid restoration of your legs as well as providing fresh blood to your brain 👍🏼. If you run, hike or ski what is better than pure elevation of the legs as your body is supported upside down.
The mental benefits cannot be underestimated. Your focus on the moment will be sharpened as you are forced to concentrate in these poses. You can increase your range of movement, refine your alignment and go really deep into the pose while being completely supported by a hammock. The feeling you get from being enveloped in a hammock during shavasana is pure bliss. Come and learn to fly with us on our retreats next year #fightorflight #theartofflight #inversions #play #stretch #learn #aerialyoga #swingtherapy
