The workshops will take place early in the morning.

We will go outside as lightly dressed as possible (shorts or a swimsuit for men; a two-piece swimsuit, or shorts and a sports bra for women). In Zinal, we will expose ourselves to the freshness of the pure air and to the wind descending from the glaciers and flowing down the mountain toward us.

We will practice in a seated position, using pranayama techniques to support the morning meditation. Depending on conditions, we may also immerse ourselves in the crystal-clear waters of the mountain stream, the Navizence.

We will provide the necessary recommendations throughout the week.

Recommended Equipment
• Appropriate clothing (swimsuit or equivalent)
• A yoga block or meditation cushion
• An insulating layer (approximately 1 m² of plastic sheet or other insulating material)

Tummo Yoga – Awakening the Inner Fire 

Tummo Yoga is the awakening of the inner strength — the inner fire that allows us to adapt to harsh external conditions, and by extension, to the changing circumstances of life.

Through this practice, we will explore how to face challenges with awareness and calm, observing the emotions that naturally arise. In this case, the challenge will be meditation in the cold and gentle exposure of the skin to cold — an experience that helps us understand, rather than resist, our emotional and physiological responses.

Reconnecting human beings to their inner resources is also a way of protecting the environment.
When we cultivate resilience and inner balance, we reduce our dependency on external comfort and energy, aligning ourselves with more sustainable living.

Nature is a silent mirror of our emotions. The song of birds awakens a simple and luminous joy within us. In the face of the vastness of seas and oceans, or the grandeur of mountains, we experience a deep serenity. Nature teaches us to listen, to feel, and to live each moment fully. It invites us to feel united with this greater Whole, to become one with it.
