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. Hanne will guide you to reconnect with your body and relax your mind.

Montgenevre skiresort and the Monts de la Lune
Montgenevre is located in the sunny southern French Alps on the border with Italy. The area is known for its skiing among larch trees and for its relaxed atmosphere and hospitality.
The Montgenevre ski area is the oldest of the French ski resorts, started in 1907, and has both a south and a north facing ski area, which ensures sun and at the same time cold and delicious snow. The pistes wind between 1800 m and 2590 m in a mostly wooded terrain.
They offer different degrees of difficulty and landscapes, and regardless of whether you are a beginner, expert or experienced skier, you will find skiing that suits your level.
Montgenevre is part of the Milky Way system, a network of ski resorts connected by a total of 410 km of pistes.

Charlotte Markus - Shiatsuterapeut, Skiinstruktør og International bjergfører
Charlotte bor sammen med mand og to voksne stedsønner i Briançon i de sydfranske alper og lever af skiløb om vinteren og af trekking i alperne om sommeren.
Hun har 25 års erfaring med organisation af adventure ferier, trekking ophold, randonnée ture, teambuilding, skiundervisning, skisafarier etc. og blev i 2009 uddannet som shiatsu terapeut efter 4 års studie ved Ecole Esprit du Tao.
At være nysgerrig og at lytte til og følge sin intuition er en af grundstenene i Charlottes livs-filosofi. Sammen med tillid og respekt. Til og overfor andre, men endnu mere til sig selv og til tilværelsen. Vi skal tro paa det gode, finde en mening med det vi laver og lever, behandle andre og naturen med respekt og hver dag arbejde på at få mere af det gode ind i samfundet og i vores eget liv.
Ideen med ski-yoga retreat’en er at blande to i høj grad livsbekræftende aktiviteter som supplerer og komplementerer hinanden til noget helt himmelsk… til en mega-luksus- forkælelses ferie som et super boost efter et par lange vintermåneder og som optakt til et kommende forår med ny energi.
« Jeg glæder mig helt vildt til at opleve en skøn uge på ski og dele ud af det jeg er bedst til, udveksle erfaringer med I som kommer og til at dele sne, sol og skioplevelser med jer allesammen. På forhåbentlig snarligt gensyn ».
Enjoyable, delightful, creative skiing is the goal.
