Mountain Yoga
19th to 26th September 2026
Our Yoga week is in the high mountain meadows and forests of Vieux Crest, above the alpine village of Champoluc.
We offer daily ashtanga, hatha and restorative yoga classes taught by an experienced yoga teacher and daily meditation sessions. There are daily walking and hiking outings for those who wish to exercise more, or you can simply sit and rest in nature.
The Yoga will be led by a highly experienced teacher. The teaching is down- to-earth and practical, so that those participating will acquire a set of take-home skills to apply in their daily lives.
The meditation is led by John Arnold, a mindfulness teacher and great fan of the outdoors and nature to help restore the body and minds balance. See here for more information about John.
Accommodation
You will stay for 7 nights at the mountain refuge Vieux Crest The Refuge is in the hamlet of Crest situated at almost 2000 metres above the village of Champoluc in the valley D’Ayas, 40 kilometres from Aosta in the northwest Italian Alps. Vieux Crest web site is here and further photographs of the Refuge and surrounding area can be viewed in our Vieux Crest Gallery.
Access to the Refuge from Champoluc is by four-wheel drive vehicle via a 20-minute drive on a forest track. As mountain refuges go the Vieux Crest is very comfortable and cosy. Each room, of twin, 3 or 4-person occupancy, has its own bathroom. All linen and towels are provided. Although it is expected that most of the physical practice will be taught outdoors there is an indoor teaching area.
The Refuge’s restaurant is relaxing and highly recommended and caters for all dietary requirements. There will be traditional regional food and some delicious fusions. The menu can be modified each day to suit the tastes of everyone.
