This winter Yoyosno have teamed up with Prestige Mountain Chalets to offer you a unique and mindful mountain experience. Our week long ski and yoga retreats are designed to develop your technical ski performance and deepen the connection with your body and mind.
 
Come as you are, with friends, a partner or flying solo, and dedicate an entire week to reconnecting with yourself, exploring the wilderness, stretching, strengthening and nourishing your body high in a luxury mountain hideaway.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

WHAT LEVEL DO I NEED TO BE?

Yoga: Whether you are an advanced yogi or brand new to the practice, each session will be tailored to your needs. Join Lauren on the yoga mat for energizing and inspiring Vinyasa style practices, workshops and candle lit meditations in the snow. She will also guide you through gentle restorative Yin style practices, helping to calm the mind and restore the body after long days of skiing.

Skiing: In order to maximise your time on skis with Amy, we will split our team of 10 into two groups according to ability. It’s really important that you can fulfil the following pre-requisites on skis in order that everyone in our groups can develop together during the week. If you have any queries as to whether the ski course will work for you, Amy will be happy to discuss it with you.

Minimum pre-requisites:

• Comfortable skiing on blue runs
• Can ski easy red runs linking turns
• Can make short side slips
• Have used chairlifts and button lifts before

ABOUT YOUR TEACHERS

Amy Marwick
Amy is a fully certified ski instructor in both the French and British systems holding her BASI Level 4 ISTD and Carte Professionelle, and is currently studying Sport Psychology. She has been teaching skiing for 8 years, working with all ages and abilities. Sponsored by Nordica and Panda Optics, Amy skis and coaches for British Freeride. She practises yoga and mindfulness regularly and is a RYS 200 hour certified yoga teacher.
 
“At Yoyosno we aim to strengthen that connection between body and mind in order to overcome blockages, but most of all to have fun and truly enjoy our ski experience. Our retreats are ideal for people looking for a fresh approach to developing their ski performance by exploring the link between difficulties we might experience in our daily lives, on the mat and on the snow.”

Lauren Bryden
Lauren began her education in movement at the Royal Ballet School, London. Throughout her professional career as a ballet dancer she performed with the Royal Ballet, Scottish Ballet, English National Ballet and other companies around Europe.
Since hanging up her pointe shoes due to an injury, Lauren qualified as a 200 hour RYT Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow and Power Yoga teacher, in India, and is registered by the Yoga Alliance. She is also a registered STOTT Pilates advanced matwork instructor, and enjoys combining her diverse knowledge of movement to help clients improve strength, flexibility and enhance the connection between the body and mind.
“The mental and physical constraints and pressures of life as a classical ballet dancer opened my eyes to the balancing and comforting effects of yoga and having a mindfulness practice. I believe that movement is a medicine for creating a better balance and understanding of a persons physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.”

FOOD

We have created a healthy and energizing vegetarian menu with our chefs to give you the fuel for a full day out on the mountain and on the mat. Combining fresh and colourful ingredients, our menu is creative but most importantly it tastes delicious!
 
Why vegetarian? We wanted to create a different ski chalet experience, so although we don't provide heavy indulgent dinners, you can guarantee you will feel full and satisfied. A vegetarian diet is also in line with yogic tradition and it's a great opportunity to learn about inventive ways of using vegetables to create delicious and substantial meals.  We can cater for all dietary requirements including vegan and gluten free.
