Pascal Tournaire has been practicing mountaineering for over thirty years and yoga more recently.
For several years, he accompanied the yogi Hubert de Tourris in the mountains. Their partnership renews the representation of yoga in nature: no longer in the gentleness of seaside settings, but in the cold and harshness of dawns and dusks at altitude.
Or how to find fulfillment in spite of everything. The locations and the positions resonate with each other and invite meditation. Hubert de Tourris guides practitioners through short texts to bring reality to the moments of the shoot, and to open windows onto spirituality and philosophy.
In addition, discover the accounts of fifteen athletes who practice yoga alongside their mountain activities (climbing, skiing, mountaineering…): Lynn Hill, the first to free climb the Nose; Martina Cufar-Potard, former world climbing champion; Jean-Baptiste Charlet, freerider; Christophe Dumarest, mountaineer… Preceded by a preface by Stéphanie Bodet, former world climbing champion.
