Sea, Gong & ManaYoga® in Lucia

This time, the theme is "Sea, Gong & ManaYoga in Lucia," and we'll be doing functional medicine yoga sessions with breathing exercises, relaxation, gentle movements, and meditation that everyone can join in on.  The yoga sessions and meditations strengthen us in winter and transform any tension into energy that creates flow, calm, and creativity that lasts long after this retreat. The yoga is simple, gentle, and comfortable. We practice and learn many yogic tools that research shows have clear and measurable effects on stress levels, blood pressure, hormone balance, pain, etc.

We listen to a lecture by gong master Mattias Sundman on sound therapy and the beneficial effects of the gong. During the weekend, you are also allowed to participate in two gong relaxation sessions where you rest on yoga mats and let sound waves wash through your body to ground, balance, and release tension. Mattias also talks about his journey from working in IT to transitioning full-time to helping people find greater peace with the help of the gong instrument.

During these three days, there will be plenty of opportunity for personal time, rest, walks, and recovery. During the retreat, you can swim in the sea after warming up in the newly built large sauna with magnificent views. During these days, we will also have complete silence for a number of hours to deepen our presence within ourselves. We are served high-quality homemade vegetarian food (free from milk, gluten, and sugar). It is also possible to book relaxing massage treatments on site.
