Elevate Your Game, Elevate Your Mind: Pulse & Play in the Alps

An Invitation from our Retreat Founders

A mutual love for tennis and life itself is what brought us together.

Sports and mindfulness is a beautiful combination for a holistic approach to mind, body and soul.
It is the reason we created Pulse & Play as a wellness event series.

This gets to be our very first multi-day retreat — AUSTRIA EDITION.

Spend four days with us in discrete luxury alpine lodges in southern Austria, near Regina’s origins, with the most stunning views at 1400m.

Surrounded by beautiful nature in the Austrian Alps, you will learn to take care of your heart health through guided tennis, breathwork, heat & cold exposure and yoga sessions — welcoming all levels.

Get spoiled with wellness amenities exclusively for us, like infinity whirlpool, rustic Finnish wood-burning sauna, cold plunge and delicious food exquisitely prepared by our local retreat chef Gottlieb.

So, are you ready to Pulse & Play with us?

With love,
Regina & Jenny🌸

THE PULSE & PLAY TEAM

Meet the Dream Team

Regina Sertschnigg
PTI, Founder & Director

Regina’s love for tennis started at the age of 10 in her home country of Austria, where she played competitive junior tennis. Her junior career was followed by playing college tennis in the USA. After gaining her first coaching qualification in 2006, she has coached all over the world including the USA, England, Scotland, the UAE, Austria, and Switzerland.

She started her entrepreneurial dream in 2013 and three years later Peak Tennis International was founded. Ever since it has been Regina’s mission to make a difference in this world and to bring people together. To promote community and a healthy lifestyle, physically and mentally, through tennis and many other activities in all the PTI programs.

Jenny Quénard
Wim Hof Method Instructor, Ex-Tennis Player

Growing up as a semi-professional tennis player, tennis and travel were Jenny’s biggest teachers until her early twenties. What she has learned since is that her biggest teacher all along on this life path is not external but internal– right within herself.

Her discovery of the Wim Hof Method in 2018 allowed her to deepen this inward connection in subtle and profound ways. This has since become an extraordinary mind-body-soul practice — one that continuously reminds her to listen, to allow, and to simply be happy, strong, and healthy.

After leaving the fast-paced tech and startup world behind, Jenny is now committed to guiding people back to themselves through the breath, the cold, the mind, and Mother Nature. Tennis is an added bonus ;)

Regina and Jenny will adapt the tennis and Wim Hof Method activities to all levels in order to have everyone progress in a safe way and enjoy themselves at their own comfort levels.
It is a simple, powerful and 100% natural way to be happy, strong, and healthy.
