Wintering Yoga – rest and reflection as the darker season approaches, with Wanderlust Yoga
Welcome to the beautiful Norwegian mountains, where the pace slows and a sense of calm settles in. This retreat is an opportunity to prepare for the rhythm of winter – a weekend dedicated to quiet moments, connection with nature and genuine presence.
We invite you to experience what we call Fjellvære – where the mountains and wellbeing come together. It is about being close to nature: feeling the crisp, fresh air against your cheeks, breathing in the scent of spruce forest and sensing the first hint of snow in the air. Let your gaze rest on the landscape and notice how the light changes throughout the day. Follow nature’s own rhythm – slow, calm and authentic.
This is a pause from the pace of everyday life, with time to focus on yourself, meaningful moments and deep rest. The weekend offers a balanced combination of movement, active recovery and stillness, with elements of strength, mobility and balance – while creating space to be fully present.
We embrace the energy of autumn and turn our attention towards letting go, just as the leaves fall without resistance. We welcome the approaching darkness and winter as an invitation: a time to slow down, reflect and recover. A time to turn inward, find a deeper sense of calm and allow ourselves to enter a kind of inner hibernation.
The weekend includes:
-
Morning Vinyasa with elements of traditional Hatha yoga
A gentle, flowing practice combining breath, movement and stillness. Build strength, flexibility and balance while challenging both body and mind, with space for playfulness and a sense of achievement. Two teachers will be present to provide individual guidance and support.
-
Gentle evening yoga
Calming sessions with subtle movements and longer holds, focusing on mobility, breathing, deep relaxation and stress reduction.
-
Relaxation and recovery
Guided relaxation designed to cultivate gratitude, calm and presence, giving you the opportunity to settle deeply into the body.
Sound bath
Experience the vibrations of traditional Tibetan singing bowls – an inward journey into stillness and presence.
-
Yoga philosophy
An introduction to yoga philosophy and breathing techniques that can help calm both body and mind – tools you can also bring into everyday life.
-
Free time and Fjellvære
Throughout the weekend, you are invited to explore Fjellvære in your own way. Let nature engage your senses and follow wherever you feel drawn – perhaps towards a mountain summit, along the water’s edge, across the open moorland or into the stillness of the forest. This is not about achievement, but about experience: simply being, noticing and taking in nature exactly as it is.
-
Wellness area
The wellness area is located on the hotel’s lower floor, with large windows overlooking Gaustatoppen. Here, peaceful surroundings include a swimming pool, hot tub, lounge area and terrace – a place to slow down and unwind. Each changing room also has its own sauna, and the floating saunas on Kvitåvatn are just a short walk away.
-
Sauna and cold-water bathing
At idyllic Kvitåvatn, we have two floating saunas exclusively to ourselves for an hour. Move between the warmth of the sauna and the cold mountain water, allowing the contrast to awaken the body and leave you with a deep sense of wellbeing – and perhaps an especially good night’s sleep.
-
Nourishing meals
Every meal reflects the flavours of the mountains surrounding us. Executive Chef Jimmy Øien brings the finishing touch to each dish served throughout the weekend.
The weekend is suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced yoga practitioners. Different variations will be offered throughout the sessions, allowing you to find a practice that suits your body and your level. We always encourage you to listen inwardly – some days the body needs movement, while on others it needs rest.
Most importantly, give yourself the space to enjoy your time on the mat and in nature.
