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. A great retreat to understand what lays behind the yogic and Ayurvedic systems, as well as for you who want to understand yourself and others better.
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 sheds light on the world, your patterns and offers insights and laughter.
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 as well as when you get back into the office. Come with an open mind and let's 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.
“Super fun and important topic, and one that has stayed with me in my every day life. I draw on what I learned when resolving conflicts 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
