Find the Golden Present

Step into a transformative retreat designed to help you discover the golden present—the precious gift of being fully present and at peace—through the timeless practices of Integral Yoga, as taught by Sri Swami Satchidananda.

This year’s retreat is guided by two dedicated teachers from Norway and Sweden, Brother Arjuna and Pernilla Halldin, who bring decades of experience, heartfelt presence, and a shared devotion to Integral Yoga. Whether you are deepening an existing practice or exploring new ways to nurture your mind and body, this retreat offers a supportive and enriching environment for growth.

Highlights During the Retreat

Experience the core Integral Yoga practices, including our signature Hatha Yoga sessions—renowned worldwide for their powerful approach to cultivating inner peace and joy while effectively managing stress and promoting holistic wellness. You will also explore pranayama (breathing practices), dhyana (meditation), and the restorative practice of Yoga Nidra, all integral parts of the Integral Yoga tradition. Connect deeply with nature during guided hikes accompanied by a friendly husky, inviting moments of calm and presence in the great outdoors.

Delve into profound teachings from Sri Swami Satchidananda, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and the Bhagavad Gita, enriching your understanding and inspiring personal growth. We will also explore Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound), deepening our experience of inner harmony through sound and music. On Saturday, we embrace silence as a collective practice—creating space to deepen inner stillness and renew our commitment to living with awareness and courage, before joyfully breaking the silence with a lively kirtan party.

Your Guides

This retreat will be guided by Brother Arjuna and Pernilla Halldin, two dedicated Integral Yoga teachers from Norway and Sweden. Together, they bring decades of experience, heartfelt presence, and a shared devotion to Integral Yoga.

Their combined backgrounds—in yoga, stress management, mindfulness, and holistic well-being—create a compassionate and balanced space for personal transformation, where each participant is invited to explore the path toward inner peace and joy.

Brother Arjuna

Brother Arjuna is a certified Yoga Teacher trained at the Integral Yoga Academy, internationally registered through Yoga Alliance as both an E-RYT 200 and RYT 500, and a certified Stress Management Educator.

His journey into yoga and meditation began nearly 26 years ago—first through meditation, and later expanding into the physical practice of yoga in 2011. This lifelong path has been filled with both challenges and insights, ultimately leading to a dedicated daily practice and a heartfelt commitment to guiding others toward inner peace.

He has had the honor of studying under respected Swamis and teachers at the Integral Yoga Academy in Yogaville, San Francisco, and New York. This comprehensive training, combined with his Yoga Alliance certifications, has provided him with a deep understanding of yoga philosophy, practice, and stress management.

Over the years, Brother Arjuna has guided many individuals on their unique journeys toward balance and well-being. His teaching blends personal experience, professional expertise, and a research-informed approach to create a holistic, grounded, and compassionate path to yoga and stress management.

Drawing on his background in Arctic Outdoor Education from UiT Campus Alta, he has seen firsthand how connecting with nature can cultivate inner peace and joy, complementing and deepening the practice of yoga. He also holds a deep love for music, kirtan, and Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound). Through these practices, he explores how sound vibration can open the heart and bring harmony to the whole being.

Pernilla Halldin

Pernilla Halldin is a certified Integral Yoga Teacher with a passion for making yoga accessible to everyone. She has taught yoga in a wide variety of settings, reaching people who might not otherwise come to a yoga studio—from women in prison in Hong Kong to children with special needs, from corporate environments to retreats across Europe. Her lifelong mission is to make yoga available to everybody and every body.

She is especially devoted to Raja Yoga—the yoga of the mind—and to the philosophy and practices that help us live in alignment with our values and respond to life with awareness. These teachings are naturally woven into her Hatha Yoga classes, where calm steadiness, mindful breathing, and gentle yet meaningful challenges invite students to listen inward and discover their own inner resources.

Pernilla has trained and studied extensively in Hong Kong, India, Portugal, Germany, and the United States, and is qualified in Integral Hatha Yoga (Basic and Intermediate), Raja Yoga, Accessible Yoga, Hormone Yoga, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, and Dance. For more than ten years, she has also been a certified Yoga for the Special Child practitioner. In recent years, she has delved deeply into the power of the breath and the transformative wisdom of menopause, adding even greater depth and authenticity to her teaching.
