We are excited to welcome you into this immersion of the winter. Winter is the time for the earth to rest, and so will we. We will use yoga to down-regulate the nervous system, move away from rigid goal-oriented living, and land safely in quiet contemplation. Welcome to grounding practices, movements of joy on the yoga mat and deep rest with the beautiful backdrop of the Norwegian nature.
Embrace the crisp, cold Telemark landscape in the warmth of the sauna, plunge in the icebath, enjoy the view from the outside jacuzzi and enjoy a swim in the pool. Take time to reflect and rest with grounding relaxation techniques. Enjoy nourishing, traditional meals, with a creative plant-based twist. Welcome to yoga, self-care and wintering at beautiful Morgedal Spa and Resort.
Even though a short retreat, the highlights are many!
