Strength through warmth, calm through cold – a weekend for body, mind, and soul

In the stillness of Arctic winter, when the land is hushed under snow and the river breathes cold, we invite you to pause. This retreat is a chance to return to your center through breath, warmth, and the invigorating embrace of ice.

The retreat is led by Petra Nilsson, founder of Master Yoga Sweden and a highly experienced yoga and breathwork guide, the program blends ancient traditions and modern techniques. You’ll move gently, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the quiet strength within.
