A restorative, nourishing and energizing gathering for women...

As winter loosens its hold and the first hints of spring begin to stir beneath the surface, we invite you to step into a sanctuary designed entirely for women—a space to soften, reconnect, remember who you are, and rise renewed.

Nestled in the serene mountains of Nøsen Fjellhotell, our 5-day Spring Equinox Retreat weaves together the healing power of nature, the sacredness of women’s circles and ceremony, as well as the revitalizing practices of yoga, rest, and ritual. This experience is crafted to feel good in every possible way: for your body, your energy, your emotions, and your spirit.

Over the course of this retreat, you can look forward to a harmonious blend of practices to both awaken and soothe - Dharma Yoga and Vinyasa to energize the body, Somatic “Shake the Dust” movement to release what winter has held, Yin and Restorative to guide you into deep rest, Pranayama to clear and balance your inner landscape, and Yoga Nidra and meditation to settle you gently into stillness.

Our women’s circles and ceremonies invite honest connection, shared wisdom, laughter, and the kind of soft feminine presence that only emerges when women gather intentionally. We’ll honor the Spring Equinox together - balancing light and dark, calling in new beginnings, planting seeds, and celebrating the reawakening of life.

Between sessions, you’ll enjoy nourishing vegetarian meals prepared with love, time to wander the surrounding hiking trails, and breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. You’ll have access to the sauna, cold plunge, and the option to join a communal cold dip in the lake - a powerful elemental ritual to cleanse, invigorate, and welcome the season ahead.

This retreat is for women longing to:

• Restore and refill their inner well

• Feel held in community and sisterhood

• Move their bodies with intention and joy

• Receive both energizing practices and deep rest

• Connect with nature and the cyclical wisdom of the seasons

• Celebrate the Spring Equinox as a portal into renewal

Come as you are. Leave feeling inspired, grounded, spacious, and gently transformed.

Let this be your soft landing - and your inspired new beginning.

On the mat and most importantly: off the mat.

Choosing to offer Dharma Yoga inspired and supported by Feminine Wisdom, Restorative, Nidra & Ceremony has allowed her to draw a full and interconnected circle of practices.

About Kristina Mac Lennan

Kristina Mac Lennan underviser yoga med fokus på pust, tilstedeværelse og helhetlig, funksjonell bevegelse. Hun er kjent for å skape trygge rom der mennesker kan lande, puste ut og komme i kontakt med seg selv – uten prestasjon og uten hastverk. For Kristina handler yoga først og fremst om relasjon: relasjonen til kroppen, pusten, øyeblikket og menneskene rundt oss.

Bevegelse og uttrykk har alltid vært en naturlig del av Kristinas liv. Hun sang i kor fra hun var barn og langt inn i ungdomsårene, spilte piano fra ung alder og danset både selskapsdans og jazzballett. Denne nærheten til musikk, rytme og kroppslig uttrykk lever videre i måten hun underviser på i dag – gjennom flyt, timing, pauser og nøye utvalgt musikk. Hun har erfart både fysiske og roligere perioder i livet, og verdsetter å møte kroppen slik den er, ikke slik man tror den burde være.

Kristina fant yoga rundt 2013, men det var først i møte med Ida Engerud i 2017 at praksisen virkelig falt på plass. Her opplevde hun yoga som en vei hjem – ikke som noe som skulle fikses eller forbedres, men som et rom for å være. Dette ble starten på en dypere forankring i yoga som livspraksis.

Hun har bakgrunn fra Asker Kunstskole, er utdannet gartner og har jobbet mange år i servicebransjen – blant annet hos Stockfleth og som butikksjef for Life. Den røde tråden gjennom arbeidslivet har vært mennesker og menneskemøter. Kristina har alltid vært mer opptatt av nærvær enn av salg, av å lytte fremfor å overbevise, og av å gjøre en forskjell – i det små så vel som i det større.

Som mor til to barn, født i ulike livsfaser, har hun erfart både styrke og sårbarhet tett på. Hun finner ro i naturen og liker å være barbeint ute. Hun beveger seg daglig, bader og tar badstue året rundt, strikker, lager mat og verdsetter kvalitet, ærlighet og den gode, dype samtalen. Med amerikansk far og norsk mor har hun bodd i Norge siden hun var liten, men bærer også med seg et åpent blikk for ulike perspektiver.

Kristina er utdannet yogalærer innen Power Vinyasa (200t), Embodied Yin og Shake the Dust (Authentic Flow), Gravid Yoga og Mamma/Baby Yoga, og fullførte en 500t Advanced FAMO Fascia Movement Teacher-utdanning ved Art of Motion høsten 2025. Hun har også fordypning i Dharma Yoga (140t) og Heart – sadhana & meditasjonspraksiser (100t). Hun har holdt kurs i gravidyoga, mamma/baby-yoga og nybegynner vinyasa, og underviser blant annet Vinyasa, Yin, Shake the Dust og FAMO. For tiden underviser hun fast ved Kjernekraft og har tidligere undervist ved Glød Yoga, Bare Flyt, Yogeriet, Sio Athletica, The Sage, Studio Ma og Oslo Helsestudio.

I undervisningen sin vever Kristina sammen faglig kunnskap, erfaring, intuisjon og menneskelig varme. Hun lar seg inspirere på tvers av tradisjoner og bevegelsesformer, og møter hver gruppe med åpenhet og nysgjerrighet. Hennes ønske er ikke at noen skal prestere yoga – men å erfare hva som kan skje når man møter opp, akkurat slik man er.

About BITR – Back in the Ring

Some of our volunteers join us through Back in the Ring (BITR) – a transformative program that supports people in rebuilding confidence, resilience, and purpose after life’s challenges. They take part in daily operations while developing practical skills, building community connections, and engaging in personal growth activities.

Enjoy the Easter holiday with yoga that actually gives something back

Nøsen invites you, together with Alexander Medin, to a Sadhana Intensive over Easter:
27.03.2026 – 01.04.2026 or 01.04.2026 – 06.04.2026

This is an in-depth immersion suitable both for enthusiastic beginners and experienced practitioners who wish to strengthen and clarify their own practice.

A practice you can carry forward – into everyday life
Through five calm and focused days, you will have the opportunity to go deeply into yoga together with Alexander, who has several decades of practice, study, and teaching behind him. The focus is not on performance or external form, but on building a sustainable personal practice – with tools you can actually continue to use in life.

Alexander will shed light on:

• what classical yoga truly points toward

• how yoga has developed in different directions in modern times

• what various styles and methods have in common

• how technique, breath, concentration, and understanding are connected

The aim is to give you a clearer, more holistic understanding of yoga – and help you find your own way into the practice, regardless of level.

A structure that allows for depth
The course is adapted to the participants’ experience. The group is divided into two levels so that everyone receives relevant guidance and safe progression.

The days include, among other things:

• early morning meditation / japa

• guided practice or Mysore-style practice

• pranayama and technique

• an introduction to classical yoga texts and basic philosophy

• calmer afternoon sessions focusing on integration, breath, and understanding

The pace is thoughtful and balanced – enough structure to go deep, and enough space to settle.

Nature, stillness, and simple luxury
Nøsen is located in the middle of magnificent, undisturbed nature. Every day there is plenty of time to be outdoors – whether you want to go for a walk, go skiing, or simply let the silence do its work. Cross-country ski trails with panoramic views start right outside the door. Alpine skiing is 10 minutes away at Vaset and about 30 minutes to Hemsedal. Skis can be borrowed on site.

If you prefer stillness, it is also perfectly possible to retreat with a book, sit by the fireplace, or simply rest.

Food and accommodation
We serve tasty, nourishing vegetarian food, prepared to support the practice.
Three meals daily, as well as accommodation, are included in the price.

This is for you if you:

• want to understand yoga more deeply – not just do exercises

• want to build a practice that actually works in everyday life

• want a beautiful holiday

• seek stillness, clarity, and direction

• are new to yoga but curious

• or have practiced for a long time and wish to return to the essence

Welcome to an Easter filled with meaning, depth, and space to breathe.
A warm welcome to Nøsen.

We invite you to embrace the spirit of patience, openness, and shared humanity that makes our community special.

A new season is arriving. The snow begins to melt, the earth softens, and a gentle pulse of life stirs beneath the surface. Spring is the season of awakening — an invitation to open, to breathe, and to begin again.

As nature shifts from yin to yang, from stillness to expansion, we too are invited to rise with her rhythm.

This retreat is a sacred pause — a time to reconnect with your vitality, your body, and the quiet wisdom of your heart.

Join us for six transformative days in the Norwegian mountains — a place of raw beauty, silence, and breathtaking views.

Here, surrounded by nature’s purity, you’ll explore a blend of practices designed to awaken body, mind, and spirit.

What’s Included?

• Conscious Breathwork — Learn powerful techniques to energize, release tension, and return to your natural flow.

• Cold Exposure Training — Build resilience and vitality through guided cold immersion and ice baths.

• Nature Immersion — Spend time in stillness, fresh air, and connection with the elements.

• Playful Movement — Reclaim joy and presence through intuitive, embodied movement.

• Yoga Nidra — Deeply restorative guided meditations for rest and renewal.

• Ecstatic Dance — Express, release, and celebrate life through free movement.

• Sacred Cacao Ceremony — Open your heart and set intentions in a warm, ceremonial space.

Why Join?

This retreat is for anyone ready to let go of winter’s heaviness and step into a new rhythm — lighter, brighter, more connected.

You’ll leave feeling recharged, grounded, and inspired, with practical tools to bring mindfulness, resilience, and joy into daily life.

And beyond the practices, you’ll share this journey with a community of open-hearted souls — each on their own path of awakening, all connected through nature, breath, and presence.

This retreat is suitable for most people in good general health.

All practices are optional, and you're encouraged to listen to your own body and boundaries at all times.

Cold exposure should be avoided if you are pregnant, have epilepsy, or Raynaud's type 2.
If you have cardiovascular conditions or other serious health concerns, please consult your doctor before joining.

Your body, your pace.

Sessions are guided in English.

Personal and small circle

This retreat is intentionally kept small to create depth, connection, and a safe container for everyone.
We welcome a maximum of 14 participants.
Registration closes on March 1st, 2026, or earlier if all spots are taken.
If you feel the call, don't wait too long to secure your place.

Life asks us to express ourselves every day - in conversations, in decisions, and in the moments when honesty feels both important and difficult. Sometimes we hold back. This retreat offers a space to explore how we communicate, how we listen, and how we connect.

Over the weekend, we combine practical tools, group coaching and personal journaling with vinyasa and yin yoga practices. In the group coaching sessions, we focus on speaking up even when it feels uncomfortable, expressing ourselves with clarity, and navigating the silence we sometimes avoid. We will also explore intuitive listening - learning to recognise our inner signals before we respond to the world around us. We have morning and evening yoga sessions. Elina leads the Vinyasa practices. They are dynamic, and they bring energy and playfulness. The Yin Yoga with Ronit helps us slow down, tune in, and create space to listen to the body more clearly.

This retreat is for anyone who wants to communicate with more clarity, listen with more awareness, and feel more connected to themselves and others.

We are Ronit and Elina. We are both experienced yoga teachers and we have background as professional coaches in different fields.

Our approach brings together three effective tools: yoga for connecting with the body, group coaching for clarity and growth, and creative art to help insights become truly personal.

Our concept “The Art of…” is a series of retreats designed to offer structured, supportive practices that strengthen different parts of our lives by combining these approaches.

This spring we combine the outer and inner skills and we are focusing on communication, self-awareness, and everyday wellbeing.

Hello, I’m Elina. I am a certified Executive and Leadership Coach and Team Coach, PCC level by ICF  International Coaching Federation. I work as master trainer with groups and individuals in corporate settings to overcome group dynamics and personal patterns. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with psychology, people development, counselling and coaching in helping people navigate career and personal life. I also hold certification as Health and Wellbeing Coach (NHS UK),  specialising in emotional resilience, burnout prevention and work-life balance. 

As a yoga and meditation teacher, my teaching style is lighthearted and nurturing, always with a touch of humour because I believe we learn best when we feel at ease. I have over 600+ RYT training and 10+ years teaching in Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative Yoga, Hot Yoga, and Yin Yoga. I also love combining creative concepts like Kids Yoga, Kids Yoga For Adults and Inside Flow. I also have experience as a certified massage therapist and aromatherapy specialist. Read more about Elina.

About Ronit

Hi, my name is Ronit - an experienced yoga instructor, Gestalt coach, and an education specialist with a background in the international aid sector and in refugee education. I combine my teaching with my background in coaching, exploring the various teaching styles and pedagogical methods as we continuously learn, explore and grow together. A life without yoga is hard to imagine. When I first stepped onto the mat nearly 15 years ago, I had no idea what kind of journey I was beginning. Over the years, I’ve deepened my practice and completed certifications in Vinyasa Flow (Yoga Union, 200h), Yin Yoga (Arhanta Yoga), and Mindful Restorative Yoga Therapy, along with additional training. And yet, yoga continues to be an endless path of learning and self-discovery. 

For me, yoga is not just about movement - it is about listening, connecting to what evolves in the moment and finding space to grow. I love creating spaces where we can explore what emerges using breath and awareness as our guides. Read more about Ronit.

About Lotta and Andrew

Lotta Sebzda is a 59 years old hairdresser-ashtangalover - mother of two adult children and two grandchildren.  

Ever since Lotta was a child, she was mostly upside down, doing handstands, cartwheel or other gymnastic.

When she found AshtangaYoga in the late 90s it was like coming home, she says - she was immediately drawn to the practice.

Since that day it’s a big part of her life - with dedication, love, curiosity, energy and gratefulness, she follows the traditional Mysore style. It was taught by late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and now his grandson, R. Sharath Jois. 

Andrew also started his AshtangaYoga-journey in the same time as Lotta. With a background as a basketball-player, he had many old injuries to deal with. Ashtanga yoga helped him to strengthen the weak and injured parts of his body, and today yoga is the only thing that keeps him strong, both in body and mind.

INTEGRATE Norway

INTEGRATE Norway is a six-day immersion in the Norwegian mountains bringing together Mysore-style yoga, strength training, and recovery practices.

Mornings begin with traditional Mysore-style Ashtanga practice. Late mornings and afternoons include strength and mobility workshops in Nøsen’s new gym, with practical tools to support resilience and longevity in your practice.

There is also space built into each day to be outdoors. You’ll have time to hike in the mountains, swim in the lake, or simply rest. Some of this time will be guided as group activities, while other moments are left free for you to recharge on your own. All of it is supported by nourishing meals, ideal sleep conditions, and sauna recovery.

Ashtanga builds presence and discipline. Strength training builds resilience and longevity. When we integrate them intelligently, together with recovery and time in nature, the result is a system you can practice implementing in real time, learning how these elements merge to support your life beyond the retreat.

Evenings are simple: shared meals, quiet reflection, and optional conversations about practice, recovery, and integration.

We invite you to embrace the spirit of patience, openness, and shared humanity that makes our community special.

Set in the quiet, expansive landscape of Nøsen, this retreat is an invitation to slow down and listen - to your body, your breath, and the subtle signals that are often missed in everyday life.

Over the weekend, we move through a carefully structured yet fluid program combining flow-based classes and focused workshops. Practices progress from grounding and gentle landing sessions into deeper work with spinal mobility, active flexibility, backbends, inversions, and hip work, always with an emphasis on safety, clarity, and embodiment.

Workshops offer time to explore technique, strength, and breath, helping you understand how to move more efficiently and with less effort. Inversions are approached step by step and integrated with practices that support circulation, lymphatic flow, and nervous system regulation, with space for rest and integration.

This retreat is suitable for practitioners with some movement or yoga experience who are looking to deepen their practice in a supportive, non-competitive environment.

You’ll leave feeling more open and stable in your body, clearer in your movement, and deeply reconnected to yourself.

Francesca Golfetto

Hey, I am Francesca, Italian, based in Norway, and movement has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I spent most of my early life as a professional ballet dancer, where discipline, structure, and precision shaped both my body and the way I related to movement.

After ballet, I found my way into Ashtanga yoga and was certified by Manju Jois to teach both the Primary and Intermediate series. For many years, that strong and structured practice supported me deeply.

During my first pregnancy, though, Ashtanga no longer fit my body or my nervous system in the same way. That moment became a turning point. I began bringing elements of my dance background back into my practice - fluidity, transitions, softness, curiosity - and slowly started shaping a style that felt more responsive, embodied, and alive.

Today, my practice and teaching are rooted in fluid movement, mobility, active flexibility, and deep embodiment. I want movement to be a conversation - something that teaches me, helps me release what I’m holding, and supports what my body actually needs in that moment. The practices I create are not about forcing shapes, but about exploring movement in a way that feels personal, intelligent, and supportive of each individual body.

I believe deeply in structure and alignment - they give us safety and clarity - but I also believe we can sometimes become too rigid in them. I love playing with variations, pathways, and different expressions of a pose so that the practice adapts to the body, rather than the body adapting to the pose.

Creating a lighthearted, open, and playful atmosphere in my classes is very important to me. I want people to feel free to explore, to listen, and to move with curiosity rather than pressure.

I’ve been incredibly lucky to share this work internationally, through retreats, festivals, and events around the world, as well as online. I run an online studio and wellness platform where yoga is combined with tools for nervous system regulation, lymphatic release, cortisol balance, and restorative practices - because for me, movement is not separate from overall wellbeing.

At the heart of everything I teach is this: movement as a way to feel, to regulate, to release, and to come back home to yourself.

Take this opportunity to dance, connect, and be inspired.

Forest Dance is a growing series of gatherings in Oslo where we explore movement as a way to deepen our connection with nature.

Through this retreat, professional dancer and guide Gard Lervang leads participants through a series of tasks and exercises based on various dance practices, meditation practices and forest bathing. Forest bathing is a Japanese preventive health practice focused on immersing oneself in nature, consciously and with all the senses, to promote wellbeing and presence. Every task and exercise is an invitation to connect deeper to what nature is, and to our own human relation to nature.

Forest Dancing

In Forest Dance, we use nature as a starting point for movement.

We begin by tuning our senses to listening. We let go of thoughts and start to receive information from our surroundings. For example: “How does the ground feel beneath us?”, or “How does the air feel around us?”, or “How does the light fall through the leaves?”, or “What does the forest actually sound like?”

Dancing can be used as a tool to listen and understand nature on a deeper level. Dance lets you pay attention to the intricacies and details, creates personal relationships with different parts of the forest, as well as it challenges your perspective on what nature can be.

And also important: the dance already exists inside you and nature is a tool to bring it forth. Every tree has an essence and energy it is radiating. Once you listen deeply, you allow its essence and energy to become part of your own movement nature.

The moss never worries if it’s doing it right or wrong, it simply is. In Forest Dance, we do the same: no judgment, just being fully human.

About Gard Lervang

Gard Lervang is a professional dancer based in Oslo. He has a strong connection towards contemporary dance, butoh, and hiphop freestyle. His dance art often revolves around different themes in nature. He has created the Forest Dance gatherings as a way for people to engage with nature in a different way. As well as dancing, he has a strong interest in yoga and Japanese zen meditation.

Nøsen Yoga og Fjellhotell is a mountain retreat center in the heart of Valdres, Norway, surrounded by breathtaking nature and peaceful hiking trails. We host yoga retreats, workshops, and events year-round, offering guests a chance to slow down, connect with themselves, and enjoy nourishing vegetarian meals in a warm and welcoming community.

About BITR – Back in the Ring
Our hotel is run by a dedicated mix of staff and volunteers, creating a unique and vibrant atmosphere. Some of our volunteers join us through Back in the Ring (BITR) – a transformative program that supports people in rebuilding confidence, resilience, and purpose after life’s challenges. They take part in daily operations while developing practical skills, building community connections, and engaging in personal growth activities. This means you may meet people from all walks of life, each contributing in their own way to the Nøsen experience. We invite you to embrace the spirit of patience, openness, and shared humanity that makes our community special.
