Pause & Breathe: a Weekend for Body, Mind and Soul
With Tiia Sorjonen and Riina Sommarberg. Give yourself permission to stop, breathe and settle into your own wellbeing. Taught in Finnish.
Overview
Give yourself permission to stop, breathe and settle into your own wellbeing. Pause & Breathe is a retreat that invites you back to your body, mind and soul, held by the beautiful Norwegian mountains. In the calm of the mountains, under an open sky, you have room to slow down, breathe and hear your own inner voice again. Through yoga, nourishing food and moments of silence, you can recover, grow stronger and remind yourself of what matters to you. Stop and breathe. Here you can feel the wisdom and calm of the surrounding mountains flow through you.
The programme includes energising morning yoga and relaxing evening yoga. You can also join nature activities that take you out to enjoy the calm and beauty of the mountains. The teaching is in Finnish.
