THE FIVE ELEMENTS RETREAT 2025

Welcome to a retreat that might transform the way you see the world, yourself and your relationships, through the perspectives of the five elements. The elements play an integral part of yoga and life and when we get to know them better they become great tools for how we can live, plan, parent and relate.
THE FIVE ELEMENTS RETREAT
Four days of Asanas, Yin, Meditation, Philosophy and self-inquiry.
In this retreat you get to experience the five elements, the most fundamental building bricks of which everything is made of – including ourselves. Discover how earth, water, fire, air and ether show up in nature, your behaviors, in your body and in life.
The elements plays in integral part of yoga and is the foundation for Asanas, Mudras, the Chakra system, Pranayama and Ayurveda. But often, we learn these disciplines separately, without looking at the elements that form the fundament for these teachings and techniques.
This weekend we will honor and explore the elements. What element are you comfortable with? Or less comfortable with? Learn if you’ve developed different relationships to the other qualities. What happens when different elements meet? And how can you shift a pattern you might have with someone close to you, just by applying what you know about the elements? How can you guide someone who is lacking motivation or is agitated? This workshop sheds light on the world, your patterns, offers insights and laughter. Through embodiment we learn so much more than we do when we only read.
This is a weekend for you who want to come away into nature, rest, move, have fun, gain aha-moments, discover new insights and bring completely new qualities into your sun salutation. Come with an open mind and lets explore together!
Retreat will be taught in English if English speaking participants book. If there are only Swedish participants, naturally, retreat will be taught in Swedish.

WORDS FROM SOME PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS:
“Super fun and important topic, and the one that has stayed with me the most in my revery day life. I draw on what I learned when resolving conflicts with my children, with my husband, and I remind myself to break my own patterns. I even use it in work situations to reach solutions where there used to be only stagnation.” –Eva
“I feel like I woke up, for real, to what the world is made up of. This retreat has given me great insights, good laughs, but also a new humbleness. Hanna is a very attentive and safe space holder who shares truth from the core, and does it with a voice that is wonderful to listen to.” – Christopher
