Easter Yoga Retreat with Johan Svanborg and Jenny Solberg

Description

[row label=”Intro text”]

[col span__sm=”12″]

Shambala in spring is a little piece of magic. Peaceful and quiet with birds chirping and the sun rays warming. You can snuggle yourself in with a blanket and a book in the sun, warm up in the floating sauna and even bathe in the lake if you feel up for it!

We have your wellbeing in mind and wish to make you feel safe during the current circumstances. This retreat will be held with high hygiene standards and a limited number of participants to ensure there is enough distance between yoga mats in the sala. We are only offering single rooms for extra convenience. For more information on how we are handling Covid, please click here.

Everything is taken care of for you, three yummy Vegan meals, a hot cup of tea is always available, and you will have plenty of sweet, loving company.

We love the springtime here at Shambala as it holds such a peaceful awakening. We will focus on inspiring practices to spring-clean the mind, open the heart, and welcome back the sun with an open heart.

THE YOGA

Nordic Light Yoga is oriented towards slow and deep movements, which allows your body and mind to relax, thereby releasing deep inner tension. The healing aspect of our classes happens through moments of rest and being present with yourself. The foundation of our yoga is to be soft and mindful as you move your body, allowing you to be more present to what is happening inside and coming to know yourself and your inner processes deeper.

We have experienced that this kind of mindful yoga practice can be deeply healing and a beautiful tool towards becoming more aware of yourself and patterns that create stress and tension in your daily life. With the ability to practice strength with a caring and gentle attitude, one can handle challenges with more ease.

EXPRESSION

Vedic art is a way to explore your inner world of visions, longings and emotions on a canvas. You don’t have to have any previous experience with painting. On the contrary, the less you know about how to paint the better. You will be gently guided into expressing whatever wants to flow from your heart onto the canvas.

YOGA NIDRA

Yoga Nidra is a sleep based meditation technique that activates your body’s self-healing capacity.

It does not only relax the body profoundly, it also slows down the mind into brain states that are deeper than the sleep state. This is where deep healing happens and you can experience profound states of peace and wellbeing.

Yoga Nidra is designed to disconnect you from the thinking mind and reconnect you with your feeling body, where you will discover a pure presence of love and safety.

The need to come back to a sense of safety and trust in life is what we need in these difficult times.

COMMUNITY LIFE

Shambala is a joint effort. From the residential community and core staff, to the volunteers, to the teachers and guests that visit us every year. Since the beginning, our central focus has been to create a place where people can live together in harmony.
