A single watchword in Samoëns this winter: relaxation
Our daily lives don’t leave much time for relaxing and finding yourself. We’re always on the go, with family, work and bedtime, so it’s essential at the start of 2021 to refocus on our inner selves and take a few moments to ourselves. Samoëns and its partner Quintessence are offering you the chance to discover or improve your yoga skills. Whether you’re looking for physical and spiritual balance, flexibility or muscular and nervous relaxation, this all-round activity is sure to bring out the best in you.
Yoga for relaxation or toning up
Yoga is often thought of as a relaxing exercise, but when practised in a more sporty way, it can also be a great way to tone up. In fact, although this activity focuses on balancing yourself and your inner self, it is a real way of working on your posture, your deep muscles and your general tone. So this winter in Samoëns, don’t hesitate, come and relax in the heart of the mountains thanks to yoga and its many benefits.

Come and discover Cold Yoga, with Quintessence
Sounds a bit barbaric when you put it like that…
Have you ever heard of cold yoga? This activity, which is still little known in France, was originally developed by Tibetans in the Himalayas in very ‘hostile’ conditions. In Samoëns, we’re not offering you anything barbaric, just a walk on snowshoes, in the heart of the magnificent landscapes of the Alps, during which breathing exercises, muscle activation and activation of internal heat will punctuate your steps. It’s a walk like no other, and one that’s sure to bring you all the serenity you’re looking for in our snow-covered mountains.
Yoga du Froid, an invigorating activity
Your breath will be your awareness tool on this snowshoe hike. Accompanied by our mountain guide and well-being specialist, Quintessence, you’ll evolve in a magical setting in pursuit of your inner well-being. Your guide for the day will give you plenty of advice on how to refocus on yourself and your surroundings, while learning how to combat the cold. So come and spend a timeless moment in the mountains of the Samoëns domains, for a moment of absolute tranquillity.
