About Lotta and Andrew

Lotta Sebzda is a 56 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.

MOTTO: Yes it is for you. Everyone can do and enjoy acroyoga. It is a spiritual community practice

Embark on this weekend summer retreat at Nøsen Yoga and mountain lodge. Through the worksho you will experience the joy and delight of playing and having fun together, immersing yourself in thestrengthening practice of Acroyoga.

Acroyoga is a community- based practice that encourages personal transformation. You will experience the full spectrum of your being through opportunities to: give and receive, support and be supported, experience strength and sensitivity. It is a systematic approach to health and healing designed to be accessible to every practioner. The best part is that it is fun to do and fun to watch.

The retreat focuses on the refinement of sensitivity of contact, on deepening communication skills and on increasing awareness about the capacity to trust and support within the practice. It will support the feeling of belonging to the community as well.

You will get the chance to slow down, taking the time to connect to yourself, at beautiful Nøsen mesmerized by the sound and beauty of nature, healthy food, indoor and outdoor practices and tranquility.

OBS: The acroworkshop will be taught in Norwegian. BUT we both speak English and can teach it in English if most participants speak English.

Content:

Through the practice you will get an introduction to the basics of acroyoga, such as keeping the shape, when to round and when to arch, how to breathe, where to focus, how to communicate and practice safely and more. During the workshop everyone will get to try both flying, basing and spotting.

For the beginner level we will practice basic acroyoga poses and flows like – bird, throne, foot to shin, whale and how to combine them into a flow. You will also be introduced to poses like star and sidestar and start to practice washing machines like Ninjastar

If you are at an intermediate level and this is easy for you, you can progress to washing machines like Ninjastar and fourstep more quickly and we can also try some pops from bird to seated and back

In the end of the workshop you will have one or more acroyoga washing machines under your belt that you can continue to practice in your community.

We are born so full of life and yet conditioned by society, it's institutions and through the passage of time we can lose touch with this very life that we are.

Religious teachings and spiritual practices can sometimes reinforce this separation from ourselves with their emphasis on good and bad, right and wrong, should and shouldn't.

The intention behind this retreat is to provide relief from these structures of belief, to give space for a rediscovery of who we are and what life is.

While together we will engage in practices of yoga through movement, breathing and chanting, as we explore these we will see that the point of is not to turn us into some kind of imagined yogi, is not to make us some better version of ourselves.

Instead, we will see that, fundamentally, these teachings point us back to the gift of who we already are.

Daily Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga

Each morning classes of Ashtanga Yoga will be offered in the Mysore-style method. In this unique style of practice we work through a learned sequence of postures in the manner it was developed by Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India.

By following this method, practitioners have the opportunity to experience deeply their own embodiment by paying attention to the breath and internal sensations.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience sharing this method, Luke will offer insight into approach and alignment giving both verbal and physical assistance individually to support a deepening unfolding in the yoga experience.

Ultimately, with continued practice and attention the body's innate intelligence is awoken and guides from within.

Vedic chanting

Yoga has deep roots in the ancient wisdom traditions of India. As it has travelled to the West this connection has been somewhat weakened as the focus has moved more towards the physical performance aspect of the yoga postures.

The sages of old contemplated deeply important existential questions such as, 'who am I?' and 'what is life?'. Their answers are revealed in the ecstatic utterances of the Vedas and the Upanishads.

Through chanting these mantras we engage in their vibratory essence and have the opportunity to engage with the teachings that the ancient seers transmit to us through time immemorial. Their message is today as relevant as it ever was.

• 13.00 - 14.00 Lunch

• Session 1 – Practical Samkhya

The ideas of yoga as they appear in the Yoga Sutras text come from a foundational philosophical system called Samkhya. In this session we will learn the essence of its pointers through a series of exercises developed by a modern sage, Douglas Harding, that may provide insight into the ancient inquiry of our true identity!

• 09.00-10.00 Breakfast

• Free time

• 13.00-14.00 Lunch

• Session 2 – Practical Yoga Sutras

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras don't talk much about yoga postures! Instead they are primarily concerned with seeing through the persistant turings of the mind, leading the mind back to the quietude of its own source. In this class, after looking at what Patanjali has to say about how our mind works, we will play with practical forms of inquiry that reveal the mind and its stories leading in the process to a greater self-understanding

• Session 3 – Walking Meditation

So often in our actions we are simply not there! The automatic conditioning of our lives robotocises us as and we miss our lives in the moment as we are busy making other plans and acting towards our goals. Along the way we forget to stop and smell the roses, to be aware of our environment, the gifts of nature as they manifest around us. Inspired by Zen practice, this walking mediation will help us experience the bounty of Nosen's natural abundance, connecting with the outside nature as we connect simultaneously with our inner nature and awareness.

• 13.00-14.00 Lunch

• Session 4 – Dynamic Moving Mediation

While our yoga practices constitute a disciplined way of getting in touch with our bodies, breath and internal sensations, sometimes we can best connect with out inner aliveness by shaking everything out and moving freely without thought, judgement or a plan as to how that movement should be. This session will provide an opportunity to do so! Through shaking off the cobwebs of discipline and giving the body an opportunity express itself freely we will then quietly observe the awoken energy and sensations.

Pleasure is our natural state, yet we have been told the opposite. It’s time to upgrade our mindset and return back to our naturalness.

When we slow down, soften and feel, we open the door to the new way of being where pleasure is re-defined. Accessible to us at all times, calming the nervous system, nourishing the body, making us feel our essence.

Our bodies love to be felt, explored, moved and listened to. Our bodies love joy and pleasure. When we are in a state of pleasure, we heal.

Delicious Yoga, energizing cold bath, beautiful nature and nourishing high quality cacao will be the tools helping us to connect with the pure presence and enjoy it more than ever.

Pleasure and spirituality are two sides of the same golden coin, and the biggest treasure lies right inside of us. 

May your energized body, softened heart and relaxed mind be a gateway to your true self.

Welcome!

Hjertelig og Transformativ
Sommer workshop på Nøsen Yoga Fjellhotell

Vi lever i en meget urolig tid, uroen kan legge sterke føringer på hvordan vi forholde oss til virkeligheten.
Hvordan kan vi bruke uro som en ressurs?

Når livet er vanskelig blir en uro merkbar, hvis vi kjenner etter. De aller fleste av oss tror at ubehaget skyldes at det er noe galt, enten med oss selv, med omgivelsene, eller begge deler. Instinktivt reagerer vi med å korrigere det vi tror er årsaken til vårt ubehag. Denne måten å forholde seg til uroen/ubehaget på, kaller vi et reaktivt mønster. Vi gjentar slike mønstre uten å se at slike reaktive handlinger ikke fører til frihet og balanse, men bare til nye omganger med reaktive korrigeringer (irritasjon, sine, kollaps, sjalusi, aggresjon, angst, vold, manipulasjon, avhengighet av substanser, mm.)

I dette kurset vil vi sammen åpne døren, inn til vårt laboratorium, og undersøke hvor i kroppen uroen blir aktivisert og hvordan vi kan bruke den som inngang til våre ressurser. Du vil lære deg konkrete verktøy, som vil hjelpe deg til å få økt bevissthet rundt det som driver mønstrene dine.

For å få ett lite innblikk i hva uro metoden er, kan du lese boken «Kampen mot uroen» Gyldendal forlag eller høre på uroskolen sin podkast: Guro og Guru.

Nøsen Yoga Fjellhotell er omgitt av fantastisk natur, og vi vil sørge for at du får rikelig med tid til å utforske den.
Workshopen er skreddersydd for alle som ønsker å forbedre relasjonene til sine nærmeste eller de som jobber i team med andre. Enten du er leder, ansatt, coach eller veileder for selvutviklingsgrupper, vil denne workshopen gi deg innsikt og større forståelse av hva som skal til for å skape varig endring.

Vi gleder oss til å dele denne transformative opplevelsen sammen med deg og støtte deg på din reise mot personlig vekst og dypere forbindelser med deg selv og andre.

Helgen var for meg utrolig intens, vakker og rørende. Livsendrende. Jeg er helt utslitt og samtidig veldig glad. Jeg føler det er en gave som jeg vil ta med meg resten av livet. Det var utrolig sterke møter som ga meg muligheten til å se meg selv bedre. Ro, tid til å kjenne etter hvordan jeg egentlig har det.

Hilsen Gunhild 

Sårbar, ekte og ydmyk.

Jeg er veldig takknemlig og glad for at jeg fikk mulighet til å komme til Nøsen en gang til. Det var for meg en magisk helg, med meg selv i fokus. Tårene triller nå når jeg tenker tilbake på alle de fine oppdagelsene jeg gjorde med meg selv, samt alle de flotte menneskene jeg fikk møte. Jeg har klart å ta det med meg inn i hverdagen, lukke øynene, gi meg selv kjærlighet, barna mine og Fredrik, gå saktere, gjøre alt sakte og bare være. Det er en nydelig følelse. Jeg er sliten i kroppen, samtidig klar i hodet. Uro har selvfølgelig dukket opp, men det er bare helt perfekt og akkurat sånn det skal være.

Takk for at jeg har fått mulighet til å bli kjent med deg og denne måten å jobbe med meg selv på. Du deler så mye fint og nært, du er en nydelig guide i mitt univers.

Klem fra Anne 

Noen ord om urometoden:

Jeg har forsøkt vanlig terapi i to ulikevarianter før jeg kom borti urometoden. For meg har urometoden først og fremst hjulpet meg til å bli en god familiefar, og den har gjort det letter å håndtere temperamentet mitt. Dette har gjort at jeg har kunne bryte et generasjonsmønster og gjort at jeg har kunnet gi mine barn en større trygghet enn det jeg selv fikk. Videre har den hjulpet meg å takle livets utfordringer på en en bedre måte enn tidligere. 

Urometoden er for meg et verktøy som gjør det litt enklere å leve. 

Jeg anbefaler alle foreldre å teste ut dette, og skulle gjerne sett det som obligatorisk. 

Hilsen Jan 

Om Bernard Bøhmer

SOFT SOMMER RESET 

Bindevevsyoga, gongbad, pust, kakao og bålseremoni, og gode naturopplevelser.

v. Nanne Emelie Andersen: Kroppsterapeut, musiker, yoga- og meditasjonslærer

Hjertelig velkommen til en sommerhelg hvor vi skal mykne kroppen og balansere nervesystemet. Vi tillater oss å synke inn i hjertet, i nærvær og indre kontakt. Vi gir slipp på stress og nyter sommeren sammen på vakre Nøsen.

Denne helgen inviteres du til en deilig kombinasjon med flow yoga, myk yoga, pust og meditasjon. I kombinasjon med Lydbad, kakao og bålseremoni. Alt sammen for å invitere oss inn i en dypere indre kontakt med oss selv, omringet av det vakre naturlandskapet Nøsen inviterer til.

Som kraniosakralterapeut og yogalærer er Nanne Emelie lidenskapelig opptatt av å arbeide med bindevevet og integrerer denne kunnskapen i yogaen. Hun har gradvis beveget seg mot en myk og innfølende tilnærming til kroppen, der fokuset ligger på å myke opp bindevevet og bringe balanse til nervesystemet. I tillegg til denne tilnærming, bruker hun også syngeboller, gonger og lydbad for å berike undervisningen og skape en helhetlig opplevelse.

Fredag kveld blir det myk yoga, gongbad og lydreise. Vi lander i kroppen og hviler etter reisen til Nøsen.

Lørdag kveld gjør vi en kakaoseremoni rundt bålet. Seremoniell kakao øker hjertefrekvensen og styrker dermed kontakten med hjertet og inviterer til et dypt nærvær med oss selv. Ved bålet holder vi en enkel bålseremoni som symbol på å gi slipp på det vi ikke lengre trenger, og invitere inn det nye.  

Gjennom hele helgen benytter vi flowyoga og restorativ yoga til å styrke kroppen om morgenen og balansere nervesystemet og roe oss ned på ettermiddagen. Yogaøktene vil fokusere på å mykne opp bindevevet. Vi tar oss tid til å virkelig lande i stillingene, for å skape den myke indre kontakt med oss selv.

Lørdag Formiddag inviteres du på gåtur til en gammel samisk leirplass nær Nøsen, der vi vil gjøre en nærværsmeditasjon. 

Hjertelig velkommen til en helg hvor vi skal ha det skikkelig hyggelig sammen!

Morgenflyt (yoga): Lørdag/Søndag

Om morgenen vekker vi kroppen og skaper bevegelse med en myk, men aktiv, yogapraksis. Vi starter mykt med solhilsener. I denne praksisen fokuserer vi på å lande i posisjonene, slik at vi kan bringe den myke bindevevstilnærmingen inn i de aktive posisjonene.

Restorativ bindevevsyoga (yogasomatics): lørdag

I denne økten finner vi velvære i kroppen. Vi hviler inn i rolige øvelser med god tid i de restorative posisjonene. Vi forbinder oss enda dypere til det myke i kroppen og gir slipp på gamle spenninger. Dette er en øvelse som mykner opp bindevevet og hjelper oss til en skånsom, men effektiv, frigjøring av blokkeringer. Mange som opplever spenninger i korsrygg og nakke har stor effekt av denne praksisen. Har du drevet med yoga lenge kan du oppleve at øvelsene på en sunn måte bringer deg enda dypere inn i stillingene, slik at din vanlige praksis blir enklere og dypere.

Lydreise: Fredag

I et lydbad vil frekvensene fra lydbølgene, gongen, stemmen og syngebollene bringe kroppen i dyp ro og avspenning. Lydbadet virker som massasje på bindevevet og gir deg en behagelig sanseopplevelse på cellenivå. For å skape et bilde av hvordan lydmassasjen virker i bindevevet og cellene kan du forestille deg de små bølgene som oppstår i vann når det utsettes for vibrasjoner. Denne lydmassasjen kan gå veldig dypt i kroppen. Den virker regenererende, behagelig, subtil, og avslappende. Under selve lydreisen ligger du på en yogamatte med lukkede øyne og bare slapper av.

Kakao- og bålseremoni: Lørdag 

Kakao-seremonien finner sted på terrassen bak hovedhuset, med utsikt over fjellet. Vi drikker seremoniell kakao fra Guatemala, som styrker forbindelsen til hjertet. Vi mediterer over intensjonene våre, hva vi ønsker å frigjøre oss fra og hva vi beveger oss mot. Deretter holder vi en bålseremoni med joik og tromming. Har du en tromme kan du ta den med, eller du er velkommen til å lytte og meditere.

Avbalansering av nervesystemet (pust): 

Gjennom helgen vil vi lære noen enkle pusteøvelser som balanserer nervesystemet. De vi bruker er spesielt utvalgt blant mange, da de er enkle å gjøre, huske og ta med hjem.

Escape the heat of high summer and retreat to the cool, enchanting land of Norway, where the rivers are cold and the sky is clear. This retreat is all about rediscovering the yogic practices of asana, pranayama, and chanting through deep, rhythmic breath. We begin with an exploration of the five prānas or "vital airs." We learn how these work together to cycle energy through the body, and how we can support this cycle with the somatic practices of yoga. More specifically, we learn how to support the internal process of Hatha Pāka, or "sudden absorption" that is so central to traditional Hatha Yoga. This is the process that gradually releases us from the clutches of conditioned thought. When we understand how the process works, we can use our yoga practices to engage the process consciously, pointedly, and with loving attention. With assiduous practice, we can begin to connect to the inherent bliss of deep, conscious breath.

Program

Our mornings begin with Mysore-style asana practice, from 7am to 10am, followed by brunch. From 12 to 2pm, we have an afternoon workshop on philosophy and technique. We leave the mid-afternoons free for exploring the breathtaking surroundings. Before the evening meal, we gather again for pranayama and chanting.

Please note that asana practices will be assisted but self-directed (not guided). Ashtanga Vinyasa will be the predominating style, but related styles are also welcome, and adaptive variations on the Ashtanga theme are fully supported.

About Ty

Ty has an unwavering love for this unique somatic discipline, which he began practicing back in 2005. Drawing on his formal background in philosophy (PhD University of Virginia), Ty has an unusual power for illuminating the internal dynamics of yoga. He sees yoga as conscious participation in archetypal patterns of human development, which he is ever drawn to explore.

Many inspiring people taught Ty about yoga, but the deepest and most lasting imprints have been made by Jennifer Eliot (his first teacher), David Garrigues (his second), Mary Taylor and Richard Freeman (his most recent), to all of whom he is forever grateful. These teachers all did something remarkable, which is to disappear and allow the spirit of yoga to stand forth from within.

Ty now shares his love of yoga in studios and retreat centers around the world. His passion is to share the brilliance of yoga with anyone who wants to learn.

About Nøsen

The center has a warm and spacious shala, with amazing views of the mountains and lake, full of natural light. It also has a broad spectrum of accommodations, and amazing food (mostly organic, often local, always vegetarian). This is a perfect place for us to explore the sweetness of the yogic breath.

A workshop about friendship, love & peace of mind

This week you will get a solid introduction to all aspects of yoga. You will learn basic technique in the physical positions that ensure a safe yoga practice. You will also be introduced to classical meditation and breathing exercises that strengthen the mind and nervous system. The main focus this week is the many joys of everyday life and how the classic Indian texts relate to the many challenges everyday life presents.

It is demanding to live. It is an art to take care of the good relationships, the small moments and see the beauty of everything that is rather than burying oneself in the negative. Life is sometimes a balancing act between the small and large challenges of everyday life.

This workshop focuses on inner and outer joy. What strengthens us, enriches us and makes us a better version of ourselves. The personal responsibility we have as humans in finding inner stability, peace of mind, and a lasting joy.

Welcome to Norges Yogafestival at Nøsen!

For the 10th year in a row, we are organizing Norway's Yoga Festival in the heart of the Norwegian mountain wilderness. This festival, from July 21st to 28th, is a tribute to the growing yoga community in Norway. Here, you will meet some of Norway's foremost yoga instructors as well as international teachers in yoga, Buddhism, and philosophy.

We invite everyone to come and experience a varied selection of classes, lectures, workshops, debates, and group discussions. We wish all our participants a delightful stay. Here, you can relax, delve into different aspects of yoga, meet new friends, and enhance your own yoga practice.

During these days, you will meet over 20 teachers and be able to choose from over 100 classes and lectures that can inspire you in your further development in yoga. We have a varied selection of classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced practitioners. The classes will take place simultaneously in four different yoga rooms from morning to evening.

Every day, you will be able to enjoy three nutritious vegetarian meals prepared by our fantastic chefs. Between classes, you can swim in the Storfjorden, jump in the waterfall, lie in the grass and relax, or hike on beautiful trails in the magnificent mountain wilderness. We also offer rental of SUP boards and canoes.

Join John and Julia Scott for 4-days of intensive immersion into Transcendental Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, a system and method of yoga that will introduce you to your Own Voice, Your Own Sovereignty or metaphorically your own inner Guru/Teacher.

Each morning there will be a Dynamic Movement Meditation Practice - initially presented as a Transcendental Sanskrit Counted Class progressing to Assisted Guided Self-Practice, with each class finishing with a soothing sound journey. All guests will be Held in a Container of Love and guided Into Self-Practice and Self-Knowledge by John and Julia. This Intensive will be both an amazing group journey plus an inner personal journey of self-discovery and development and all this set in the beauty of Natural Nosen.

The afternoon/evening workshops will expand in the unpacking of Selfless-Self through deep discussion of the principles and methodology of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, plus journeying into subtleties of Pranayama, Meditation, Mantra and Sound Meditation.

Take this time, a time to receive a gift, to take home with you - inspiration, motivation and a key to unlock the doors of Inner perception. To realise how unique you are and that you are the Creator of your Own Universe. This retreat is appropriate for all levels.

We are honored to host once again a retreat with Ven Dhammadipa, a meditation master with more than 40 years of experience. This year he will instruct us in meditation on the four elements, which form an indispensable basis for understanding our bodies, health, and material reality. Thus, this is the basis for both Sutra and Tantra teachings

The four elements are central to the Asian understanding of reality: they are found as Tattvas in the Indian Samkhya System, Dhatus in Buddhism, and Tibeto -Chinese medicine they relate to bodily organs and meridians. The Buddha taught in several of his discourses how the material world, including our bodies, is made up of these four primary elements — earth, water, fire, and wind — and how, through meditation, one can practice mindfulness and develop the right wisdom to see reality as it is.

An antidote to Narcissistic attachment

As we tend to cling to materiality, and in particular to our physical body, many narcissistic tendencies or disturbing emotions derive from the attachment and the identification with our material form. Meditation on the elements is an antidote to our attachment to our physical bodies and attachment/aversion towards sensations.

 “In this body what is hard or rough is the earth-element, what is flowing or cohesion is the water-element, what is maturing (ripening) or heat is the fire-element, what is pushing or supporting is the air-element,” and he should advert and give attention to it and review it again and again as “earth-element, water-element, fire-element, air-element,” that is
to say, as mere elements, not a being, and soulless.

Visuddhimagga

Promoting balance of mind

Through meditation, we come to understand that the reality we cling to is nothing but the elements in various combinations: the “pain” in my back, for instance, maybe a combination of tightness (earth) and a burning (fire).  Thus, these are not my “pain” but simply constituents of reality. When material elements are seen in this light, the practitioner is gradually freed from illusions and thus his/her mind is liberated so that pleasant and unpleasant stimuli do not disturb.

Thereby, one is unafflicted by pairs of opposites
Yoga sutras 2.48

The elements in Buddhist Tantra

The elements are also central to Buddhist Tantric practice in that they are connected with negative emotions like desire, attachment anger, pride, and jealousy. To transform the four negative emotions into the five kinds of wisdom, we need to understand the elements

 The retreat will also include sharing the wisdom of menstrual cycle awareness and how this practice can be integrated with yoga and be a powerful sadhana in itself.

The retreat is open to women of all ages and may be of particular interest to mothers, women in peri-menopause/menopause, those wanting a deeper connection between their cycle and yoga practice, or any women seeking a retreat experience combining both Ashtanga yoga and gentle, restful practices.

In the late seventies, Venerable began his Buddhist studies in Berlin, where he had immigrated as a refugee after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. In 1977 he received a master’s degree in Chinese literature and philosophy at the University of Paris. In 1979, he enrolled at Nalanda University in India (where he also taught French and German) to study Sanskrit and Buddhist Philosophy. After receiving a degree at Nalanda in 1984, he returned to Berlin University and served there as the Associate Librarian. In 1986, Venerable Dhammadipa went to Japan and studied under Zen Master Harada Serrei Roshi of the Caodong school practice. He was given a Dharma name as Xing-Kong (meaning Nature of Emptiness).

In 1987, with the encouragement of Venerable Athurugiriye Nyanavimala Mahathera, Venerable Wijayasoma Mahathera, and Venerable Dikwelle Mahinda, he was ordained as a monk in Meetirigala and was given a Dharma name as Dhammadipa (island of Buddhism or Dharma).

In 1989, he received the Three Fold ordination as a Mahayana Monk in Hsi Lai Temple, Los Angeles, and began Dharma teaching in US, Germany, and Taiwan.

In 1996, Venerable went to Myanmar to practice meditation with the contemporary master Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw and was recognized by the Sayadaw to be the first of the Sayadaw’s Western disciples qualified to teach meditation.

We are very happy to welcome Diana Shangguan back at Nøsen in 2024 and host this unique opportunity to study with her for 5 days!

This retreat will provide a rich context for each individual with a diverse level of practice. The interconnectedness among different traditions, the philosophical and contemplative background of the tradition, and its intelligent application to real-world practice will be emphasized. We will start the day with morning meditation.

The asana practices will be based on the Ashtanga vinyasa style, with full support for practitioners from other styles. The philosophy session will focus on the highlights in the Yoga Sutra and Bhagavad Gita, about other sutras and classic stories. Adaptive variations, hands-on adjustments, pranayama explication, sound healing, etc. will be integrated and explored, especially during the afternoon-themed workshops.
