Yoga From the heart

we teach the path of love

We guide our yogis through a transition from fear and attachment into heart-centered living, presence and authentic engagement with the world.

Our mission at Yogi Living is to bring more hugs, laughter and love into everyday life.

Without love, the acquisition of knowledge only increases conflict and leads to self-destruction.

The teaching at Yogi Living Retreat Center is based on awakening the heart and grounded on the principle of integrating mind and body.

We teach forms of yoga learned directly from Indian yogis and Tibetan monks and supported by modern scientific research. We believe love has the power to heal and transform peoples lives and that authentic love is the key component missing from most peoples lives.

Our approach to yoga supports optimal brain function and harmony between mind and body. As a result, Yogi Living students have more ability to handle stress and a deeper, richer experience of life. We also see a noticeable increase in expressions of happiness, love, and compassion.

Welcome To Yogi Living

Moonlight over green meadows,
Summerlight over fields of corn,
Scent of flowers from garden meads,
And in the forest singing of birds

Yoga Alliance International

I created Yogi Living Retreat Center as a place for laughter and the company of good friends as much as an center for creating balance in heart, mind and body.

I believe in science and in the unifying force of love. And I believe in happiness and that personal growth does not need a guru or a master. Change happens within and flows out into the world like ripples on a lake.

frequently asked questions

Following the Path of Love means taking control of your vital energy. Unblocking energetic pathways and activating kundalini creates the flow state and is achieved through three approaches:

  1. Classical Tantra Yoga uses methods for merging with universal energy, often using the mirror of another person.
  2. Yoga for Kundalini Awakening teaches you how to activate your chakra and Kundalini energy and go deep into yourself.
  3. Prana Yoga is for deep stress release, energy healing and emotional release. Release the past!

Classical Tantra Yoga emphasizes the union of opposites, such as male and female energies, through various practices including meditation, yoga, ritual, and mantra recitation. These practices are often aimed at achieving spiritual liberation or enlightenment, as well as worldly goals such as health, prosperity, and power.
It uses teachings and practices that involve the cultivation of shakti, or vital energy, within the body. This focuses on the subtle energy channels known as nadis and the awakening of the dormant spiritual energy known as Kundalini.

Kundalini Yoga is powerful and transformative, with the potential for intense emotional and energetic experiences. The practices involve a combination of physical postures (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), chanting (mantra), meditation, and other methods designed to awaken and harness the energy of Kundalini.
Kundalini Yoga emphasises the use of specific sequences of movements, called kriyas, which are intended to produce specific effects on the body, mind, and spirit. These kriyas typically involve repetitive movements, dynamic breathing patterns, and focused meditation.

Prana Yoga is a practice designed to harness and manipulate prana, the vital life force energy, with the goal of enhancing physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
The practice combines various elements, including breathing techniques, meditation, and physical postures, to cleanse and balance the body’s energy centers.

All classes at Yogi Living are taught in English. Yogi Living Ashram resident yoga teacher Winnie Winnetu also speaks Swedish, French, German and Danish so basic translation can be provided.

Not at all. Anyone can join in our courses. We do not teach complicated asanas at Yogi Living and always adjust to the needs of students.
Students with more experience are encouraged to focus their attention inward and use more meditative or energetic techniques.

Yes! Partners are always welcome at Yogi Living Ashram, if space permits. There is a small extra price to cover our costs if your partner does not wish to participate in the retreat.

Yogi Living Retreat Center is located in Skåne, South Sweden close to the vibrant city of Malmö. The closest international airports are Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup  (75 km) and Malmö airport, Sturup (30 km) with good rail connections to Malmö and on to Trelleborg (our closest town). You can also come by car through Germany and take the ferry from Rostock to Trelleborg. There are 3 sailings (6 hours duration) per day.

We can pick you up by car from Malmö or Trelleborg, but please ask for this in advance.

You are welcome to stay if we have no retreats or guests.  Keep in mind we are quite small and have limited capacity.
Yogi Living Retreat Center offers different forms of accommodation: caravans, glamping (summer only) and AirBnB rooms.

The surrounding countryside is picture-postcard Sweden. There are many small picturesque villages and a mixture of open farmland, woodland, and lakes. The wonderful coastline of the Swedish Riviera is only 5km away. When the weather allows we can arrange an excursion to places like the Ales Stones (the “Swedish Stonehenge”) and local castles.
You can also hang in the garden where we have a treehouse meditation platform and a jacuzzi.  There is a small ICA supermarket 5 minutes walk from the ashram.

Awakening To Love

Yoga can change your life. I know because it happened to me. I had a prestigious career in political science, but I wanted more freedom, love and joy in my life. So, I took a huge risk. I put my career behind me and left for India to study yoga.

I hope Awakening To Love inspires you to practice yoga and one day come see us here at Yogi Living or one of our retreats.
