"Reset" Yoga retreat in Sweden
 

Yoga and relaxation in nature

Join us on weekend retreats in Denmark and Sweden.

We are at, among other places, "The Forest Calls" and in my own Swedish house for small groups. Here it is possible to get away from the stress and hustle of everyday life, recharge, and do a "reset".

Through yoga and ayurveda you will get inspiration for a more meaningful and holistic lifestyle - small steps in the "good direction" that you can use in your everyday life afterwards. We practice lots of yoga, bathe, go for walks and eat delicious sattvic food (vegetarian "high prana" food/Indian). You will be introduced to exciting philosophical/yogic themes, and not least we will do an exciting Fire ceremony also called a Fire Puja. A Vedic practice that is transformative and healing.

If you gather your own group , you can choose between three retreat models:

Yoga and meditation weekend

is a weekend of deep practices that release the mental layer called manomaya kosha. Yoga, pranayama and meditation are the path to inner peace and clarity. We do this through the cleansing effect of yoga. We challenge ourselves with kriyas which are breathing techniques that release grief, stress and trauma on deep levels. I give a lecture on a yogic topic either: The eight limbs of yoga or The five koshas We cook Vedic food in groups.

Price: 2,800,- per person (8 people)

Yoga & Ayurveda Weekend

is a weekend focusing on Ayurveda, health and balance.

We will do a Workshop where you will find your dosha and what it means for you in terms of diet, lifestyle, etc. We will go into the many health and detox routines of Ayurveda, dinacharya, ojas, etc. You will receive recipes/brochures/papers to take home. We will cook delicious Vedic food in groups.

Price: 3250,- (for 8 people)

Yoga, Ayurveda & Beauty Weekend

is a super delicious self-pampering weekend for women with a focus on beauty, vitality and natural body care. We do a dosha quiz so you can find your body's constellation. Tips for dosha oils, fragrances, baths, yoga, exercise, diet etc. We make our own Ayurvedic Skin Food. Everything we use for the body is made from natural ingredients without synthetics, which you can easily mix together on a weekly basis and keep in the fridge.

We make lotions, cleaners, tonics, aroma oil blends, anti-aging oils, - everything to suit your skin/your dosha.

We apply face masks/packs. We undergo an anti-age Marmapoint massage (self-massage) and also give each other hand and/or facial massage. You will receive: brochure with recipes, glass bottles and jars with your products to take home.

Price: 3,500,- (for 8 people)

High Prana food

At all my retreats, Vedic cooking is part of the experience. We make delicious Vedic food with high prana (energy) content. Vedic food is easy to digest, vegetarian and contains warming spices that optimize digestion. We make delicious stews, chutneys, sauces and salads. For breakfast we make bircher muesli and porridge with homemade almond milk, berries, honey and sprinkles - and it all tastes heavenly!

Holistic Yoga & Ayurveda

I teach holistic yoga, which means that I introduce philosophical/yogic themes that provide material for self-reflection and personal growth. This part of yoga belongs to Patanjali's yoga system: The Eight Limbs of Yoga. I have completed a postgraduate course as an Ayurvedic counselor and the principles of Ayurveda are included in the basic principles of my yoga teaching.

Ayurveda is referred to as the sister science of yoga.

Prices

Prices vary depending on the type of tournament and where it is held. Please contact me for info.

You provide your own transport and live in a shared room.

A little yoga nerdiness about Fire Pudjaén

An Indian Fire Ceremony is a thousand year old Vedic practice that is considered very sacred, transformative and healing. As we sit around the fire and contemplate the five elements represented by herbs and oil/ghee which are transformed by the powerful fire and air. This results in smoke (essence/fragrance) rising and becoming one with the atmosphere.

This represents all forms of universal transformation and also the transformative process that occurs through the Tapas (burning enthusiasm) and Sadhana (one's spiritual discipline/path) of yoga. The ceremony symbolizes everything being transformed and becoming formless as Brahman - the transcendent reality - the divine creator of all matter. Here is alchemy and energies: the vibrating energy.

The sun/heat - Syria.

The quality of light - Jyoti.

Electrical energy - Indra,

When we chant mantras we become grounded and calm, and the heat from the fire helps us to relax further. Watching the flames is very meditative, and we can be inspired to feel that the fire burns/cleanses away all suffering, worries and anxiety, so that powerful healing processes can take shape in both body and mind.

You can have different themes, you give extra focus and when we do a fire ceremony in Sweden we offer "letting go" notes and notes with "wishes/prayers" which we take turns offering to the fire while we chant Gayatri and the healing mantra. We end the ceremony by sitting and meditating and listening to the crackling of the fire.

OM - OMM - OOOMMMMMMMM...

We chant the Gayatri mantra for the fire ceremony

You can see the text here and possibly find a Gayatri chant on youtube with Deva Premal and practice a little before the retreat if you want! When you chant, the brain frequency is lowered, we relax and the vibrations of the voice activate the parasympathetic nervous system....

Rest and repair response...

What's not to like! ! OM!!!
