Yoga weekend with Åsa Gustavsson

Recovery is the theme for these three days.

With the help of yoga, meditation, beautiful archipelago nature, kayaking, sauna bathing, and delicious vegetarian food, these days provide an opportunity for what you need! You decide for yourself if there is something you don't want to participate in and would rather sit on a cliff and philosophize on your own or socialize in the glass veranda of the turn-of-the-century villa.

We arrive on the small, beautiful island of Idöborg on Friday morning and return to the mainland late on Sunday afternoon. The boat departs from Stavsnäs on Värmdö, which can be reached by bus from Slussen. The crossing takes half an hour. Accommodation is available in single and double rooms. The food is vegetarian.

An important reason why so many people have been returning to this retreat year after year for over 15 years is probably the simplicity of the social interaction and the space to be alone, if that is what you need. And, of course, everything that yoga has to offer. And the good food.

Kundalini yoga and Mediyoga/Medical yogaare the types of yoga we will be using. A type of yoga that everyone can participate in based on their own abilities. You can be a beginner or an experienced yoga practitioner. If you have previously done Mediyoga-Medical yoga, this is a similar type of yoga. And vice versa. The instructors are experienced, with more than 10 years of experience in teaching yoga, and this popular archipelago retreat is being organized for the 14th year in a row! The first day begins with a longer yoga session before lunch and another session later in the evening, and in that spirit it continues with a mixture of yoga, meditation, sauna, and kayaking. If there is something you do not want to participate in, that is no problem.

Kayaking is a trip out into the wonderful little island world just outside Idöborg, located in the outer archipelago. Its proximity to the outer archipelago makes for a very beautiful paddling experience. Over the years, many people who have never paddled before have found it to be both safe and a wonderful experience! The trip goes out to the small archipelago just outside Idöborg, and if you don't want to paddle, you can skip it.

The saunais wood-fired and located right by the water. Every evening, there will also be an opportunity to participate inGong Meditation, which is powerfully healing and strengthening! And if you don't want to participate in any of the activities on offer, you can simply enjoy "just being" in nature or socialize and drink tea in the fantastic turn-of-the-century Kruger villa. For more information, please email or call. No previous experience of yoga is necessary; everyone participates according to their own abilities.

Åsa Gustavsson is a Kundalini yoga and meditation teacher, medical yoga therapist, and breathing instructor. She has been running the Yoga Nu yoga center in Nacka since 2008, and this year marks her eighteenth year organizing yoga retreats at Idöborg.
