Winter Yoga Retreat with Ulle & Jennifer

During this retreat, we want you to leave everyday life behind and focus solely on yourself. Enjoy yoga, good food, wonderful people, a warm sauna, and perhaps a cold dip(!) – all in a sparkling winter setting on one of the archipelago's most beautiful islands.

You can easily reach Idöborg by taking the Vaxholm boat from Stavsnäs. We leave on Friday evening, so you don't even need a semester!

Yoga

We fill our days with dynamic yoga flows interspersed with calm Yin yoga and meditation, all with the aim of relaxing and recharging our batteries. The yoga we do is suitable for both experienced practitioners and beginners. We practice yoga in the beautiful hall at Ögonblicket, with wonderful views over Nämdöfjärden.

Sauna

Idöborg has a wonderful sauna that we usually heat up on Saturday afternoons. It's lovely to crawl in there after a long walk around the island. Those who dare to take a dip usually come back into the warmth snorting and declaring, "This is the life!"

The food

The food we eat is vegetarian and prepared with love and care in the small kitchen of the turn-of-the-century house Vita villan. We usually have freshly baked bread, porridge, and flavorful stews and soups.

Yoga instructor

We, Ulle Rylow and Jennifer Key, are the organizers of this retreat. We are both certified by Yoga Alliance and teach yoga classes in Stockholm on a daily basis. Since there are two of us, we can offer a slightly more comprehensive program. You participate in as much as you feel like and are able to.

The following classes are offered during the weekend

• Gentle Hatha Yoga 1
• Pranayama (breathing exercises) 2
• Dynamic Yoga Vinyasa 1st
• Ashtanga yoga 1
• Yin Yoga 1st
• Guided meditation 3 sessions
• Sankalpa 1st

The rooms

Accommodation is provided in two different villas on the island. The house has showers and toilets that you share with other guests. The rooms have been carefully renovated and the beds are very comfortable.
