Yoga & Wild Swimming

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.
