Forest Retreat
Friday 3 pm – Saturday 11 am
A wonderful overnight stay filled with yoga, meditation, fresh air, food & nature. Our yoga instructor Ingela Holgersson guides you in this Forest Retreat where well-being and health are in focus.
Located in a beautiful natural setting where barren rocks of Bohus granite coexist with forest and invite you to open your body, mind and soul. Simplicity and back to nature. Meditate, yoga and eat outdoors!
Your guide and yoga teacher: Ingela Holgersson
Yoga form: Hatha yoga with elements of Yin yoga
For whom? The Forest Retreat is aimed for the small group and everyone regardless of previous yoga knowledge. You will be challenged at the level you are at.
