Retreat experience
Eat well, sleep well, practice alot.
Join us for a 5 day retreat in southern Sweden on the beautiful Österlen. Together we nestle into a winter cocoon and really take our time to settle in. 4 daily session, amazing food and people, followed by evenings soaking in the jacuzzi under the starlit sky.
You will be held together with the group in a weaving of somatic experience as we explore authentic expression through yoga, movement, sound, stillness & non-dual tantrik philosophy.
As we both hold love for the spontaneity of life, there won't be a very specific content schedule for this retreat experience.
Our intention is to create a unique and loving atmosphere where we can connect as a community to sense, feel, practice and experience the true beauty of effortless being and the feeling of rejuvenation and elation.

“Having fallen out of many facets of Yoga, I feel ecstatic to have found a teacher who speaks my innate language; Soma-Soul-Psyche in a cyclical yoking. Reflections from our time together continue to reverberate through my days. Thank you for your guidance, Satu, and for showing up human and real. I can’t wait to join another training.”
