Description:

Join us for a transformative half-day retreat that weaves together yoga, cold exposure, and community. The Ice & Yoga Journey is a powerful invitation to reconnect—with yourself. We’ll guide you through a yoga practice, breathwork session, cold immersion, and mindful integration.

A space to move inward, to meet challenge with softness, and to find your rhythm between effort and ease.

What Awaits You:

  • Grounding Yoga Flow
    We begin with a flowing yoga practice led by Fabienne to open the body, focus the mind, and prepare your nervous system for the cold.
  • Guided Cold Plunge in Lake Zürich
    Together, we’ll walk to the lake for a guided cold immersion with Nives. Supported by breathwork and gentle encouragement, you’ll experience the invigorating clarity and strength that come from meeting the cold with presence and intention.
  • Integration, Nourishment & Stillness
    We close in community and calm—with warm drinks, wholesome snacks, and a serene group experience designed to anchor the journey.

Why This Journey?

  • Recharge your energy and nervous system
  • Build inner resilience and outer strength
  • Enjoy the benefits of cold exposure
  • Move with purpose, breathe with intention, and rest with presence
  • Be held in a beautiful setting and supported by community

What to Bring

Please bring warm, cozy clothes for after the plunge (we recommend easy slip-on shoes like UGG-style boots, thick socks, loose pants, warm layers, a hat, and gloves), along with your yoga clothes, towel, swimwear, and a water bottle.

The Ice & Yoga Philosophy

At Ice & Yoga, we live by the principle of Effort and Ease:

  • Effort reflects our commitment to quality, creativity, and care in everything we do.
  • Ease speaks to the peaceful, nurturing environments we create to support your well-being.

Our aim is to offer experiences that are both enriching and restorative, helping you carry this balance into your everyday life.

Disclaimer:

We kindly remind you, as with any health practice, to ensure you feel healthy and well before participating. The cold plunge is not recommended for pregnant women or individuals with heart conditions. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Nives

Eventmanager and Founder of Ice and Yoga Retreats

I have always loved the feeling after a good yoga session and the invigorating sensation of a dip in icy water. These experiences bring me immense joy and satisfaction.

My journey began with a degree in Hotel Management in Lucerne, Switzerland. For many years, I worked as an event manager, organizing a wide range of events and attending many retreats myself.

This year, I also started as a "safe-space" holder at Keen Wellbeing, where I help participants get into the ice bath. Combining my personal passions with my professional expertise, I am dedicated to creating unforgettable retreats.

Using my background in hospitality and event management, I design experiences that leave participants feeling recharged and inspired.

It gives me great joy to see people happy and fulfilled, whether it's after an invigorating ice bath or a delicious meal.
I can't wait to meet you! Love, Nives

Corinne

Head Chef

I'm Corinne, a passionate chef with a heart and a love for wild herbs.

My cooking is inspired by nature, characterised by curiosity and driven by a deep love of detail. I love cooking over an open fire and experimenting with different ingredients.

In autumn 2025, I will be immersing myself further in the world of wild flavours with an internship at Stefan Wiesner's restaurant in Entlebuch.
To me, cooking is about more than just food. It's a form of expression and an experience. It's also an invitation to pause for a moment.
