The pace of the class is deliberately slow and gentle, allowing you to move with ease and to focus on your breath and body sensations. We stay close to the ground, with none or few standing poses. All poses can be changed and adapted if you, for example, need to stay off your hands or your knees.

By slowing down we get a chance to really feel what is going on and focus on alignment which allows for a safer and more comfortable practice. It helps improve our body awareness which has benefits extending far into our normal life off the yoga mat as well.

These classes are perfect for anyone who wants to balance strength and flexibility. Whether you feel limited by your body or are active somewhere else and want more holistic movement aimed at recovery and wellbeing.

For this class bring your own mat and yoga block (if you don't have your own, email me and I will bring it for you)

Suitable for all levels & age groups – especially beginners & anyone with anxiety or physical obstacles
Great for improving mobility and joint health

The restorative yoga classes focuses on relaxation, rest, and rejuvenation. Unlike other forms of yoga, which may involve dynamic movement and strenuous poses, restorative yoga emphasises slowing down and letting go of tension in the body and mind. We hold the positions for several minutes to maximise restoration.

During a restorative yoga class, we typically use props such as bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps to support our bodies in comfortable and passive positions. The poses are designed to promote deep relaxation, release muscle tension, and quiet the mind.

I, Ylva, may guide you through breathing exercises and meditation throughout the class to help you deepen your relaxation. The pace of the class is slow and steady, and the emphasis is on being present in the moment and tuning into the body's sensations.

Restorative yoga classes are suitable for all levels of experience, including beginners, as the poses are gentle and accessible. They can be especially helpful for those experiencing stress, anxiety, or physical discomfort, as they offer a space for relaxation and restoration.

For this class bring your mat, a blanket and a pillow or bolster (if you don't have your own, email me and I will bring it for you).

The pace of this class will be a little bit more energising than the other gentle classes as it is nice to feel a little bit invigorated for the afternoon.
However the class will still be gentle, with a focus to move with ease and to focus on the breath and body sensations. We stay close to the ground, with none or few standing poses. All poses can be changed and adapted if you, for example, need to stay off your hands or your knees.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a dynamic and physically more challenging style of yoga that emphasises on fluid movement and breath control. In a typical Vinyasa Flow class, we will move through a sequence of movements in a continuous, flowing way, synchronised to the breath.

The word "vinyasa" comes from the Sanskrit term nyasa, meaning "to place," and the prefix vi, meaning "in a special way." Vinyasa Flows then emphasises on the connection between breath and movement, with each inhale or exhale initiating a particular movement or sequence of movements, to place the body in a specific way with each breath.

Each class will be different and the focus can lie on different body parts, such as hips or shoulders, or a particular movement, like circles or backbends. The focus can also be to keep a mindset of fluidity or stability. But in each class we will move through a variety of poses, including sun salutations, standing and balancing poses aiming to get the whole body involved and energised.

Moving faster and having to work a little bit harder with the body can both be really fun and a great way to calm the mind down. Vinyasa yoga can offer a great respite or act as a balancing tonic if we are living a life where there is a lot of focus on thinking and less on physical movement.

This class is designed to help you connect with your body, breath, and mind in a gentle and nurturing way. The class will begin with a brief centering meditation to help you let go of any distractions and fully arrive in the present moment. You will then move through a series of gentle yoga postures, linking your movement with your breath in a flowing sequence.

A special focus will be placed on undoing tension that easily occurs from modern life. Meaning we will work on mobilising the spine, open the chest and improve blood flow to the hips and legs.

Moving in a way that feels good in the body, stretching out commonly tight muscles and preparing us for the meditation part by making sure the body feels as comfortable as possible.

The yoga postures will be accessible and adaptable for all levels. You will be encouraged to move at your own pace and to listen to your body's needs throughout the practice.

After the flow, you will be guided through a seated or lying-down meditation, bring a blanket to sit on or to wrap around you to stay warm and comfortable.

The meditation will focus on cultivating awareness, presence, and relaxation in the body and mind. We will use various techniques to help you deepen your meditation practice, such as breath awareness, visualisation, or body scan.

The class will end with a brief period of reflection, allowing you to notice any shifts or insights that arose during the practice. You will leave feeling more centered, grounded, and connected to yourself and the present moment.

We’ll enjoy warming and nurturing lunch (included in the price) together.

The afternoon includes a soothing sauna, wild spa and the option to cool down with a wild swim or cold shower. Finishing the day off with restorative yoga, and a deeply restful yoga nidra session to let go of what no longer serves us. Through ritual and intention-setting, we’ll invite in what feels light and meaningful for the coming season.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, brighter, and full of life, with insights into moving well, unwinding deeply, and embracing a healthy, joyful way of being. This day is suitable for all levels, from beginners to seasoned yogis, with individual support throughout.

Spaces are limited to ensure plenty of personal attention. This is a fully inclusive day—simply show up for yourself, ready to relax and renew. Lunch, snacks, tea, and all activities are provided, so you can fully enjoy each moment of this restorative retreat.
