A wonderful opportunity to expand and rest in the energy of Midsummer when nature is pulsating with life! The retreat will be based at a peaceful and serene centre at Vårdnäs on the banks of a lake in Östergötland, Sweden.

These are all threads we will use to weave a beautiful thriving tapestry of inner peace, energy and balance. There will be daily yoga & meditation classes, daily workshops, daily experiences in nature whether it be hikes, swims, canoeing and experiencing Swedish culture. We have our own Yoga and gong space at the venue and an option of doing yoga outdoors too. We will be sharing classes with Kundalini yoga, Mindful yoga, Yinyoga, Restorative yoga & Yoga Nidra as well as daily Gong & Sound baths.
