Yoga & Wild Swimming
WHY WE CREATED THIs Retreat
Designed for simple spring days
This yoga and adventure retreat in Sweden is designed to showcase the beauty of spring in the Stockholm Archipelago, a season where light returns and long days invite exploration.
Blending daily yoga with outdoor experiences, this Sweden yoga holiday offers the chance to try something new in a truly unique setting. Swim in clear waters, explore the islands by kayak, and experience life in rhythm with nature.
It’s a time to slow down and rest, while still feeling energised, to move, explore, and immerse yourself in the landscape. A refined balance of yoga, nature, and adventure, creating space to reconnect and experience spring at its best.
UNIQUE YOGA RETREATS
Each day begins with a morning swim, a gentle awakening in nature. From there, the rhythm unfolds with ease: yoga, nourishing food, time outdoors, daily sauna and deep rest.
Glide by kayak between islands, swim at your will and visit nearby larger islands to experience local culture and archipelago life.
Our home is a secluded island, peaceful, grounding, and beautifully removed from the noise of everyday life.
A place to reset, breathe deeply, and return to what feels essential.
Dates
May 23 - 28
May the light returns in full, stretching into long, unhurried days that draw you outside from early morning into soft, evenings. There’s a clarity to May in Sweden, fresh air and open skies. Cool enough to awaken the senses, yet bright and expansive, it creates the perfect conditions for movement, water, and time outdoors.
ACCOMMODATION
5 luxury nights
Our retreat is set on a private island. We have our own dedicated accommodation in a mixture of cottages, with comfortable, thoughtfully designed rooms set close to the water and immersed in nature. Each space offers a peaceful place to rest.
We have a private dining area where we gather for meals, and a dedicated fully equipped yoga space overlooking the sea, offering a serene setting.
Food
All meals included
This retreat features a plant-based menu designed to support recovery, boost immunity, and nourish your body after each cold water immersion. Packed with energising and healing nutrients, it helps restore balance, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being. And, of course, it’s delicious, fuelling your journey to renewal with every meal. All our retreats are alcohol free.
Activities
Kayak & Swim
The Stockholm Archipelago Trail, a network of paddling routes that wind through the magnificent archipelago. Enjoy a day trip by kayak, flowing between the islands and pausing at natural harbours, cliffs, and quiet sandy beaches along the way.
Alongside this, take part in guided swimming experiences, that invite you into the water with confidence, exploring some of the archipelago’s most secluded swim spots.
Activities
Yoga
Daily yoga practices will energise and restore your body, with morning vinyasa flow sessions to awaken and evening restorative yoga to relax. Each session is designed to complement the physical benefits of wild swimming, focusing on breath work, alignment, and deep relaxation. This holistic approach enhances your overall health and well-being, making it the perfect complement to your wellness retreat experience.
Activities
Hike & Explore
Enjoy hiking along the Stockholm Archipelago Trail, with time to take in the landscape, pause by the water for a picnic, and settle into the rhythm of the islands.
Visit the glorious island of Bullerö, at the heart of the new national park in Nämdöskärgården. This fully guided excursion offers a glimpse into local culture, history, and life within the archipelago.
Held in stunning Sweden
Our destination is an incredibly beautiful private island in the Stockholm Archipelago where pine forest meets the sea and a scattering of islands creates a calm, expansive seascape.
Fly to Stockholm, then journey by boat through the archipelago, gliding between islands before arriving at this secluded island sanctuary.
