COLLAB W/ MOUNT WASHINGTON BACKCOUNTRY SKI FESTIVAL
Mount Washington Backcountry Ski Festival is a four-day immersive experience in the White Mountains in North Conway, New Hampshire. We're thrilled to partner with them and bring yoga to festival participants.
This day-long yoga and ski course will be offered on Saturday, February 11th & and Sunday, February 12th.
If you’re looking to connect more deeply with YOUR true nature, IN nature, look no further! Fully integrating our experience in the backcountry, we’ll start our day with morning meditation and gentle yoga stretches to awaken the body and mind for a day on the hill. Expect to loosen up and stretch the key parts of the body used for skinning and skiing including shoulders, back, quads, and hamstrings. Along with the physical yoga practice, we’ll incorporate mindful meditation to bring us more fully into the present moment while exploring the beauty and serenity of the backcountry.
This day-long workshop with yoga, mindfulness, and skiing is offered on each day of the festival.
