Description:

The Valentine’s Ice & Yoga Journey – Love Starts Within

Celebrate Valentine’s Day in a different way. This special half-day retreat is an invitation to reconnect with yourself, meet like-minded people, and celebrate the beauty of being exactly where you are.

Through yoga, breathwork, cold immersion, and mindful integration, we’ll create space to slow down, step outside your comfort zone, and open yourself to new connections.

Whether you’re happily single, embracing a new chapter, or simply curious to meet new people, come as you are. No dates, no expectations — just movement, meaningful encounters, and a little courage to try something new.

Because the most meaningful connection starts with yourself.

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 at Utoquai Seebad
    Together, we’ll head to Seebad Utoquai on the shores of Lake Zurich for a guided cold immersion with Nives. Supported by breathwork and gentle encouragement, you’ll experience the invigorating clarity and inner strength that come from embracing 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.

Johana

Yoga Teacher

She discovered yoga in 2017 through a close friend while working in the financial sector. Seeking a more meaningful path, she completed her yoga teacher training in India, immersing herself in philosophy, asana, and meditation.

In 2021, she became a certified LYT Method teacher and began combining traditional yoga with functional movement. Her passion for movement later expanded into fitness, guided by her belief that movement is medicine: building resilience, restoring balance, and enhancing quality of life.

During her travels, she experienced different styles of yoga and immersed herself more deeply in various meditation techniques.

With several years of experience, she provides group classes, retreats, ceremonies, and workshops. For her, yoga is much more than a physical practice. It is a holistic journey, a gateway to self-awareness and inner growth. It is not only a physical experience; the practice goes beyond the mat and invites practitioners to cultivate a more conscious way of living.

Barbara

Retreat Chef

I am Barbara, a private chef and the founder of Chuchi Potpourri.

I believe that great food brings people together, which is why I love creating fresh, seasonal dishes that nourish both body and soul. For the Azure Horizon Retreat, I'm excited to prepare colourful, wholesome meals inspired by local ingredients, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy every moment around the table.

Madlen

TCM-therapist and holist healthcoach

Growing up surrounded by nature, I developed a deep appreciation for movement, health, and mindful living. My passion has always been to help people reconnect with their bodies and discover the balance that allows them to feel their best.

My journey began with twelve years of karate, where I learned discipline, respect, and the importance of the connection between body, mind, and spirit. Today, I continue practising Kung Fu, whose philosophy has become a way of life for me. I believe that true strength is quiet, grounded, and built through consistency, humility, and compassion. Living in harmony with nature, embracing simplicity, and finding balance in everyday life are values that continue to guide me both personally and professionally.

My path led me from working as a chef to becoming a holistic health and nutrition consultant, and today I practise as an acupressure therapist while continuing my studies in acupuncture and Tui Na. Along my own journey, I have experienced both physical injuries and personal challenges, which deepened my understanding of healing and recovery.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has had the greatest impact on my life. Its holistic approach—seeing every person as unique and treating the root cause rather than only the symptoms—is the foundation of how I support others today.

At the retreat, my intention is to create a calm and welcoming space where you can slow down, restore your energy, and reconnect with yourself. I look forward to sharing my knowledge, experience, and passion for holistic health with you.

Inga

Traditional Lithuanian Sauna Master

Inga is a passionate sauna master from Lithuania, dedicated to preserving and sharing the ancient Baltic sauna tradition known as Pirtis. A holistic ritual that nurtures the body, mind and spirit in harmony with nature.

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.
