About us

We are a couple of yoga and nature loving, plant based lifelovers and forever students of regenerative lifestyle practices.We both have a big passion for environment conservation and we strive to live in coherence with nature. This is reflected in the yoga retreats we offer in our little learning center in Norway, the yoga and trekking adventures in Nepal, and our other offerings. Our love and passion for yoga, mother nature, community and regenerative living is the fuel of creating 'Hagabrekka Wanderland'. 

Hagabrekka is our regenerative lifestyle learning center & community. Our off-grid home in Norway is our space to connect with people from around the world in a community of exploring how to live a sustainable happy life. This space is also our center for yoga retreats, immersed in the beautiful Norwegian wilderness. We bought the land in 2019, and it is a continuous journey of learning, which we are so happy to share with people from around the world, either as guests in our retreats or as volunteers in our learning project.

 

So, who are we? Here comes a short summary. Myself, Marita, grew up in Norway, but I have lived around the globe, I left Norway when I was 18. My master’s is in sustainable development, and my yoga teacher training courses from India. After teaching around the world since 2014 it is a dream coming true to be able to share yoga in our own place. I am very passionate about sustainable living and permaculture, something that goes hand in hand with developing my yoga practice. The passion for trekking has taken me around the world as well as my love for eco development projects.

Sabin, my significant other, is from Nepal, but has been exploring the world with me since 2016. After studying IT in uni, he went a different direction and built a guesthouse in Pokhara, the trekking hub of Nepal. Eventually, the passion for the mountains and yoga developed and he completed his mountain guide license in 2018 as well as his TTCs. With a big passion for sustainable living, mushroom foraging, building and creating, trekking, the yogic lifestyle and the continuous learning journey of life, he is for sure the most goodhearted man I have ever met! Always coming up with new ideas and solutions to the challenges we face with living off grid, he is the Mr. fix it at Hagabrekka Wanderland. When we are not at our learning center in Norway, you can find us leading yoga and trekking in Nepal or learning and sharing more about life somewhere else on this beautiful planet.
