Description:

Join us for a refreshing spring morning with Ice and Yoga and in Collaboration with Casa St.Moritz. A half-day experience that blends yoga, cold immersion, and community. A powerful invitation to reconnect with yourself as the season blooms.

We’ll guide you through a yoga practice, breathwork, a revitalizing cold plunge, and mindful integration. A space to move inward, meet challenge with softness, and find your rhythm between effort and ease. All while welcoming the energy of spring.

What Awaits You:

Grounding Yoga Flow
We start at 08:30 on the Rentenwiese with a 75-minute yoga session to stretch, awaken, and energize your body — getting your mind ready for a refreshing cold plunge. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to allow time to settle in.

Guided Cold Plunge
After yoga, we’ll take a 2-3 minute plunge together into Lake Zurich! Supported by breathwork and gentle encouragement, you’ll experience the invigorating boost and joyful clarity that come from meeting the cold with presence.

Integration, Nourishment & Community
Around 10:30, we walk together to the Pop-Up Casa St. Moritz to wind down in good company with matcha or coffee from Rosa Mammut — a perfect way to celebrate the morning and connect in community.

We will share the exact location on the Rentenwiese with you shortly before the event, which will only take place in good weather. 

Why This Journey?

  • Wake up your body and mind, and recharge with spring energy
  • Grow inner resilience while having fun and moving with purpose
  • Feel the invigorating joy of a cold plunge
  • Breathe deeply, flow freely, and savor the moment
  • Celebrate the morning together in community, warmth, and connection

What to Bring

Please bring your own yoga mat, along with comfortable clothes for the practice, a towel, swimwear, and a water bottle. After the plunge, you’ll want warm, cozy layers — to stay comfortable and enjoy the post-plunge relaxation.

Payment: We’ll take care of payment on-site — simply bring cash or pay via Twint.
