Realign Health Ski Retreat
Ski. Recover. Experience Japan.
The Realign Health Ski Retreat is a small-group ski and snowboard trip led by chiropractor, Dr Jess, designed for people who love the snow and want to feel good doing it. Our first retreat takes place in Nagano, Japan and is built around three things: skiing, recovery and experiencing Japanese culture.
This retreat is intentionally accessible. You don’t need to be an elite skier or snowboarder. You just need to enjoy being on the mountain and be open to moving your body, recovering well and sharing the experience with a supportive group.
In the lead-up to the trip, everyone completes the 8-week Snow Fit program to build strength, mobility and confidence before hitting the slopes. While in Japan, the rhythm is simple and balanced. Daily stretch and mobility sessions, full days skiing, and evenings focused on recovery with saunas and cold plunges.
It’s adventure without burnout. Strong days on the mountain followed by proper recovery, good food and time to soak up the culture.

Snow Fit Training Program
Every skier and snowboarder joining the Realign Health Ski Retreat completes the Snow Fit program before the trip.
Snow Fit is an 8-week strength and mobility program created by Dr Jess and Personal Trainer Meggan Hastings to prepare your body for the demands of skiing and snowboarding. The goal is simple: get to the slopes feeling strong, confident and ready to go!
If you’re not joining the retreat, Snow Fit is still available as a standalone program and can be completed anywhere.
