The secret to empowering your skiing is individualized guiding through understanding what has to happen for the skies to do their job, and then seeing, feeling and understanding the things to focus on and to apply or improve in your skiing pattern. We will do a lot of this throughout the week while enjoying ourselfves and listening to our body...- also when it says "enough" :).
The Qi gong sessions gently wake up your body, with fluid movements, and also invigorate your vital energy. You enter into the full awareness of your body and the refocusing of the mind, to prepare yourself for a beautiful day in the mountains. The practice of qi gong will bring you balance, flexibility, unlock your joints... and will strengthen your balance. You approach each day on the slopes with more flexibility, serenity and concentration!
In the afternoon, Do In sessions await you to stretch your muscles and improve energy circulation. Thanks to self-massage and targeted stretching, you release the tensions accumulated on a daily basis and during the day's efforts. Isabelle will guide you to reconnect with your body and relax your mind.
