deep nourishment for body, mind & heart
YIN · SOUND · NIDRA
A retreat for you to rest and re-connect with the source of wellbeing and vitality within.
Our natural state of being is one of equilibrium and inner peace.
This 4-day retreat is an invitation for you to remember and return to that place within yourself.
Health, defined through yoga, is not only an absence of disease, but a perfect balance of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of our being.
We believe that for most of us, coming back to balance is not so much a practice of learning something new and adding new tasks on our already full to-do lists, but rather an act of unlearning and unbecoming - releasing the urge to perform and achieve.
We invite you to slow down and give yourself the permission to simply be. This is what we believe is the recipe for recharging and regulating the nervous system from the hyper stimulation of our modern day lifestyles.
It is when we return to the state of homeostasis, a sense of inner spaciousness and calm, that we are reminded of ourselves as part of nature and can connect to ourselves, those around us and all of life with kindness and compassion. From this space we can adapt to change and respond to life’s challenges with greater confidence and ease.
Let’s come together in community and in practice to meet ourselves and live life in full color and vibrancy, open ourselves to receiving the gift of life wholly and thoroughly.
Throughout this 4-day retreat we will explore the deeply nourishing practices of yin yoga, yoga nidra and sound healing. You will also be introduced to traditional tantric hatha yoga and yoga’s concepts on how to keep your cup full with healing food, rest and play time.
Located at Villa Saga, you will experience nature’s abundance at its finest: Finnish forests only a few steps away, a nearby lake to take a dip or enjoy an evening of sauna and woodfired tub in the backyard.
THE VENUE & THE ROOMS
We will gather at Villa Saga located in Kirkkonummi - just a short 30 min drive from the city center of Helsinki, Finland.
Villa Saga is a modern and light-filled space that offers everything and more we need for our retreat:
bright rooms, a fireplace, a windoswill lounge to relax, a sauna and a woodfired tub, a large kitchen and beautiful dining room and of course the heart piece: a spacious Yoga Shala.
Nature is present all around the Villa. The serene views of the landscape pour right in from the windows and turn this space into an oasis of calm and tranquility. The beautiful Finnish forests are just a few steps outside Villa Saga and allow for the most grounding walks under the trees, as well as walks into the deep forest.
Expect to rest deeply, be among nature and sacred community.
You will be sleeping in a bedroom with either 3 or 4 individual beds. Each bed has has a curtain for privacy and a futon of all natural materials for your comfort. There is multiple shared bathrooms on all floors.
