SkiFit with YogaTonic UK
Our online programme provides over 6 hours of video content to stream, to helping you get fit for a season of skiing. Whether you are skiing regularly throughout the season, or looking to make the most of a week's holiday in the mountains, the videos help you to get SkiFit.
If you are skiing regularly throughout the season, you can fit in the sessions in between each trip to the slopes. Alternatively, if you have booked a week's holiday, then you can use programme to build your SkiFitness before your holiday. Either way, we believe that the cardio conditioning, yoga and meditation will help you get the most out of your time on the slopes.
No equipment is needed. You may want a mat but towel is fine.
