A company called Soulshine Retreats, which specialises in holistic yoga retreats in Ibiza and France, has made a move in to the snow travel market, launching a collection of online Snow Yoga Classes that are free to access, and running ski holiday packages this winter with a strong yoga and holistic living element to them.

"Preparing the body for the slopes with yoga not only warms up muscles but it can also prevent strain or injury by strengthening key muscle groups and improving balance. After a day of skiing yoga's restorative aspects come into play and help soothe away any après-ski aches and loosen well-worked muscles," a statement from the company states.
The Snow Yoga retreats that Soulshine are organising this season aim to improve both wellbeing and health by combining the restorative benefits of yoga, meditation and massage, with the cardio and excitement of skiing or snowboarding, leaving participants refreshed, revitalized and motivated.
The seven-night Soulshine Snow Yoga and Ski Adventure retreat costs is based in Chalet Montperron, 12 minutes drive from the La Rosiere ski area in France.
Days at the retreat begin with a 60-minute dynamic vinyasa flow Yoga class to warm up muscles to make the body less prone to strain or injury once out on the slopes. At the end of the ski day well-worked muscles are stretched and any après-ski aches are soothed away in a session of healing and restorative Yin Yoga in front of the log fire in the new wellness space located on the top floor of the chalet with stunning views overlooking the snowcapped mountains. The evening session also incorporates some deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra meditation to ensure a good night's sleep for all.
Chalet Montperron has a private sauna and outdoor hot-tub and the menu is wholesome alpine fare with a healthy twist of superfoods and with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options available.
Packages, starting on Sundays, cost from £1,190pp and include half-board accommodation plus tea and cake every afternoon, a daily 60-minute morning yoga session, a daily 75-minute yoga, a meditation and relaxation evening session, 1x 30-minute massage, a complimentary airport transfer and a daily morning and evening shuttle service to and from the chalet to the ski lifts.
