Our Yoga

What I love about Yoga is that it can be joyous, playful and empowering as well as soothing, healing and inward.

Having two classes a day will allow us to dive deeper into our practice, breaking down certain moves and focussing on the correct alignment in postures. We will learn to be comfortable sitting still whilst meditating for longer periods of time. This will be an opportunity to nurture ourselves and build a reservoir of calm that can be drawn from later in the year.

Our morning practices will be energising and invigorating whilst our afternoon practices will be more restorative with aromatherapy and massage assists incorporated throughout.

All ability and experience levels are welcome.

We will be practicing outside on the large wooden decking area overlooking the lake, with an option to practice under the marquee if we are in need of shelter.

A typical day will look something like this:

8 am: Morning Yoga and Meditation

10 am: Breakfast

11 am: Walk in the woods / Free time

2 pm: Lunch

3 pm: Sauna + Swim / Free time

5 pm: Afternoon Restorative Yoga + Meditation

7:30 pm: Dinner

9 pm: Hot tub under the stars

The routine of a retreat can be a really brilliant way of switching off and surrendering to the structure of your surroundings.

It’s a joy to let go of any plans and to-do-lists!

There will be plenty of time to explore and beautiful tranquil spots to sit, read, write, draw and reflect outside in nature.

I encourage you to unplug as much as possible this weekend and enjoy a device free time!

Romina

I have been practicing Yoga for 15 years and teaching for 8. I was so lucky to grow up with The Yoga Garden in my back garden and my beautiful mum Nina as my guru and guide.

As well as taking inspiration from all of the incredible teachers that have come through The Yoga Garden over the years. I hope to always teach from a place of authenticity as I believe that fosters the strongest connection between teacher and student.

I am by no means a perfect Yogi but whenever I have drifted, I always find my way back to my practice. It’s a ‘home’ you can take with you wherever you go and I’m so grateful that it’s part of my life.

With gentle guidance, I like to help others find that same connection with their body and mind, a feeling of being grounded and present.

Your Personal Chef

Meet your personal chef and my wonderful fiancé: Peter!

Peter is a brilliant cook with lots of professional experience and has always loved food and cooking for others.

Expect delicious, healthy, home cooked vegetarian food - made with love!

Meal times during this retreat will be a lovely time to gather together, make new friends and enjoy delicious flavours cooked up by Peter.

This is a bespoke retreat so please let us know any dietary requirements and we will do our very best to accommodate!

The Location

Évika Boutique Hotel, Landvetter, Gothenburg, Sweden.

The hotel and grounds are a short 20 minute drive from the airport, yet are surrounded by woodland and lakes.

June is a beautiful time of year in Sweden and the days are at their longest with 18 hours of daylight! So there should be plenty of sunshine and warmth with temperatures as high of 20 degrees.

The Accomodation

Exclusive use of a boutique hotel by a beautiful peaceful lake and surrounded by woodland.

Sweet, Scandinavian cabin style rooms. Each with their own kitchenette and private bathroom.

The site features a Scandinavian sauna and hot tub.

Lots of beautiful reading and meditation spots within the grounds of Évika.

Surrounded by forests there are plenty of routes for beautiful walks through the woods or even runs!

The Lake - we have a private jetty for as much wild swimming as you want! We will also have a boat trip to a small uninhabited island that we can explore on foot.

There are also kayak canoes to enjoy on the lake if you wish.

TESTIMONIALS

The Sweden retreat was a really lovely and peaceful long weekend. The setting on the lake was stunning, with beautiful walks in the surrounding areas. The yoga was at a pace suitable to all levels, and Romina listened to any concerns with regards to my ability and then made great suggestions to support my practice. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful throughout the weekend.

Retreat Guest

Romina was a warm and supportive guide, gently suggesting adjustments to movements without ever breaking the relaxing flow of the class. She encouraged our mixed group to connect with the class on a spiritual level, without anyone feeling out of their depth. I didn’t want this workshop to end, and I went away feeling light and present, with the resolution to deepen my own practice.
