צריכים פסק זמן מהשגרה העמוסה שלכם? בואו לחופשה קצת אחרת, כזו שמנקה את הראש ומחדשת כוחות. תטיילו במקומות קסומים, תנשמו אוויר הרים צלול, תאכלו מזון בריא ומגוון, תתרגלו יוגה מול נופים עוצמתיים ותתחברו לטבע.

אחרי נסיעה קצרה של עשר דקות מהבית, הגעתי לכאן לפגוש חברות שגרות בכפרים הסמוכים. הקדמתי בכמה דקות ועצרתי לרגע מול המראה הזה.
ענן נמוך עוטף את המים כמו שמיכה של שקט, שקט שמזמין להקשיב פנימה.
רגעים כאלה מזכירים לי כמה יופי יש בפשטות.

The seasons are more intermingled in the Alps than you may expect.
One flows to the other so you hardly know it happened.
However, the actual weather is more significant. Because it can change from sunshine, to rain, to snow, to sunshine in the same day.
But the air will always be nature’s fresh baked everywhere you go.
Choose the season that takes your fancy most.
You can return another day at a different time, and be pleasantly surprised all over again!

A wellness retreat in the mountains, is an opportunity to holiday away from technology and noise.
Cosy chalets and lodges in the Alps nestle among peaks, valleys, trees, and birds.
Calm your mind in an atmosphere of gentleness, with people who see the world the same way you do.

Goodbye summer mood 🙃

I never liked hiking. Some 6-7 years ago I would rather do shopping in Berlin or visit a design exhibition in London.
After moving to the mountains I tried some hiking and it was awful. Catching up with my breathing was so hard. Leg muscles were burning.
I can’t remember when exactly I started loving it. But what changed everything for me was - slowing down and letting go of any expectations.
I miss my walks and hikes so much, since becoming a mom and I hope to do some this summer 🤞🏽

Summertime in the Alps, what is it like?
So many people around the world are surprised when I tell them that my favourite season in the Alps is… summer!
I mean, city people, that I meet when I’m away from my mountain home.
No matter if you live locally in the Alps or travelling from afar, there’s always so much to discover during the warmer months!

“When practiced to its fullest, mindful eating turns a simple meal into a spiritual experience, giving us a deep appreciation of all that went into the meal’s creation as well a deep understanding of the relationship between the food on our table, our own health, and our planet’s health.” -

The powerful alpine views and crisp air allow us the opportunity to take a moment, breathe in, take in the surroundings and reunite with nature.

Healthy eating is not about strict dietary limitations or depriving yourself of the foods you love 😋 but it’s also about enjoying the food.
The process of eating begins when we just smell and observe the food on our plate, before even tasting it.
This is the first step of a mindful eating, which is actually yoga too.
This delicious rhubarb tart was made by on a retreat in Samoens village in the French Alps.
Bon Appetit everyone!

The best things in life are worth waiting for 🤣 Agree? 👇🏻
Little did we know, when two years ago in February, just before the pandemic started, we were SO LUCKY to host a yoga & snowshoeing retreat here in the French Alps.
Since then Yoga in the Alps was on hold, without really knowing what’s next. A lot has changed in travel industry and in our life 👶🏼
Yoga in the Alps is finally coming back to life, introducing the best mindful retreats in the mountains, where you can re-change, relax and get inspired ✨
I’m truly excited about it and can’t wait to share more with you soon.

Hello! We’re Polly and Reuben, a couple living in the town of Morzine in the French Alps. We both work in photography, which is how we first met; however, yoga & meditation practice was what truly connected us on the first date.
Soon after joining forces to create several businesses in photography, video and web development, we found ourselves working from morning to night. Amid our ever-busy schedules, practicing yoga is what has helped us maintain balance. The lessons, independent practice and meditation, have become part of our daily routine, as well as our source of joy and fun. We haven’t become hippies and left modern life, not at all. In fact, our professional life is thriving, but alongside this we have found a way to maintain harmony in our lives.
Polly is a yoga teacher and student. Her training as an instructor began with Eyal Shifroni, before qualifying as a Dharma yoga teacher through Anat Zahor, and gaining certification as an Indiv yoga teacher in Switzerland. Reuben practices Hatha yoga, mindfulness meditation, joins sanghas (meditation meet-ups), and takes part in Vipassana retreats.
After moving to the mountains in 2016, we soon discovered what a powerful and unique environment the Alps are for yoga practice. We wanted to share this place with fellow yoga students, whilst providing a space where hard-working folk can re-connect with themselves and escape their busy lives for a while. We now work with yoga & meditation teachers from around Europe and have created a network of highly-skilled and passionate instructors.
With us, you can breathe fresh mountain air and be at one with nature; practice yoga with experienced teachers in front of majestic mountain vistas; cleanse your body with delicious natural meals; learn how to integrate yoga & meditation into your daily life; and enjoy a unique holiday that is different to any you’ve experienced before. Relax, re-charge and return home with a clear head and renewed appreciation of life.
