WHY WE CREATED THIs Retreat
Designed for artic adventures
We created this yoga and wild swimming retreat in Norway to offer a unique blend of deep inner connection and wild, soul-stirring adventure. Set on Senja Island, a remote gem in Scandinavia’s Arctic Circle, this experience invites you to slow down and reconnect through daily yoga, mindfulness, and plant-based nourishment, while also embracing the thrill of the outdoors. From cold water dips to exploring dramatic fjords, mountains, and Arctic beaches, every moment is designed to awaken your senses and restore your balance. This is more than a yoga retreat in Norway, it’s a journey into nature, presence, and your most vibrant self.
UNIQUE YOGA RETREATS
Set in the Arctic Circle, our midnight sun yoga retreat offers a unique experience. Practice yoga under the endless golden light, surrounded by rugged fjords, snow-capped mountains, and wild beaches. Enjoy cold water dips, nourishing plant-based meals, and guided yoga sessions to reset your body and mind. One highlight is the midnight kayak adventure, where you’ll paddle beneath the magical northern sky. With a small group and a focus on connection, this Norway yoga holiday blends adventure and stillness for a truly rejuvenating experience.

Daily yoga practices will energise and restore your body, with morning vinyasa flow sessions to awaken and evening restorative yoga to relax.

Sauna & Hot tub
Throughout your retreat, you’ll also have the opportunity to unwind with two hot tub and sauna sessions, ensuring you feel restored after each adventure.
We all know how beneficial a sauna is to our health and wellbeing, which is why we offer these therapies as part of our relaxation time on this retreat.
Held in stunning Norway
Our destination is the north west coast Senja island, an incredibly beautiful part of Norway where steep, majestic mountains dive straight into the sea and pearly white beaches line a small archipelago of uninhabited islands.
Fly to Tromso, then it's a beautiful hours boat journey through the fjords to Finnsnes.
BARBARA, LIVERPOOL
Loved this retreat, Leo was an amazing yoga teacher and very inspiring. I was very apprehensive about the cold water dip in the waterfall, but with the breath work and mind reset I achieved it!
I wanted to relax on the retreat but came away feeling both exhilarated and relaxed. I would go every month if I could.

Everything about your retreats is well planned and incredibly nurturing so it's honestly hard to say what my favourite part was!
The activities are scheduled to maximise an introspective experience within a truly safe and caring environment. The location is stunning and I loved the cold water dips even more this time. I returned home rested, and inspired to further my self practices and to incorporate more mindfulness into my daily life.

JON, MID WALES
This retreat greatly exceeded my expectations. Going vegan, abstaining from alcohol ("detoxing") and enjoying the company of a very friendly and enthusiastic group has certainly been refreshing and re-energising. Many thanks to Laura, Leo, Katy and Aimee for a first class yoga, gastronomic and outdoor water experience.
