More about the Yoga....

The Yoga practices will be suitable for all levels. Mornings will be a nice strong, slow flow. The early evening classes will be variable depending on the group (and the energy level of the group). 

If you are new to Pranayama and/or Meditation this might be the perfect place to start.

If you are an absolute Yoga beginner (never done Yoga before) you will probably find the classes  quite challenging. If this is the case, write to me and we can set up a few classes to help you prepare so it is more enjoyable. (In person or online)

In your registration (if I don´t know you personally) please include a brief description of your Yoga experience (Asana/Meditation/Pranayama) , and any injuries or conditions that may affect your practice.

The retreat center has both indoor and outdoor Yoga spaces. Equipment is available including mats, but of course if you have a travel mat it is always nice to bring your own.

And about the food....

The food is wholesome, homemade, unique, locally sourced and organic where possible.  Most important it is made with love, passion and dedication. The menu will be predominantly vegetarian.

Vegan and specific dietary requests are available when organized ahead of the retreat. Please make any requests on the registration form.
