Alta, Utah - Winslow Passey, lead guide for Utah Mountain Adventures, is bringing a yoga and skiing retreat to Alta from March 3-7, 2010. The retreat combines yoga instruction with both resort and backcountry ski outings. Participants will learn about and use the principles of body alignment and self awareness taught in yoga and then integrate them into skiing. In Passey's words, "I strive to increase self awareness among participants to help them establish a connection to their surroundings so they can maximize their fun and enjoyment."
The retreat includes one day of skiing at Alta Ski Area and two days skiing the surrounding backcountry, as well as five yoga sessions. Four nights of lodging and meals are included. Interested participants should have good fitness, enjoy hiking and have intermediate to expert level skiing skills. Yoga experience and backcountry skiing experience are not required.
