Experience cold-water yoga in the mountain village of Le Grand-Bornand in southeastern France. Learn to embrace the chilling bath and find a fire within.
Cold-water yoga, lunches strewn with flowers – and lots of cows. The mountain village of Le Grand-Bornand in southeastern France is full of natural delights“Take off your shoes,” says Alexia. It has been raining and mud oozes across a forest floor paved in pine needles, beech leaves and rocks. It doesn’t look inviting, but we are here to swim in the icy river rushing through the valley base and presumably need to acquaint ourselves with nature and the cold.
So we cautiously tread on springy carpets of semi-rotted leaves and needles with mud squelching up through our toes. Alexia’s cold-water toumo yoga is designed to train your head and breath to do something most minds scream “no” to. I assume there will be a special trick or that we’ll do such heavy-duty yoga beside the river that our spiking body heat will cry out for the cooling waters. But no. Apart from some warrior and sun-saluting poses, Alexia’s cool-prep yoga involves enabling me and my co-dipper to embrace the chilling bath by altering our perception and finding a fire within. “Don’t fight the river,” she say
