Yoga Ski Retreat
Alta, Utah
Come enjoy the "greatest snow on earth" skiing and yoga adventure in the beautiful Wasatch mountains. This program combines yoga instruction with both resort and backcountry ski outings. We use the principles of alignment and self awareness taught in yoga and integrate them into our skiing. We will strive to increase our self awareness and our connection to our surroundings thus maximizing our fun and enjoyment.
We will spend one day playing in the resort and two days of exploring in the backcountry. We will indulge in 5 yoga sessions throughout the three days, enjoy wonderful meals at the Alta lodge, and soak in the hot tub in the evenings. The guides will teach you about backcountry travel and safety while taking you on an amazing adventure in the Wasatch.
Lodging and Meals:
We will stay at the rustic Alta Lodge where we will eat a delicious sit down meals for breakfast and dinner. We will take prepared sack lunches for our ski tours, and eat on the mountain while skiing at Alta.
Why do this trip?
“I have found yoga and skiing to be two of may favorite activities. Yoga has helped me to heal and avoid injuries in my life. Not only does it feel great to be stronger, more flexible, and more balanced, it has also been a powerful learning tool in increasing my performance, concentration, and enjoyment in all of the activities in which I participate. I am looking forward to skiing and practicing yoga with you all!” Winslow
