Renew Body And Soul
yoga wellness retreat in sweden
Are you feeling the weight of stress, anxiety, lack of sleep or just the everyday aches and pains that come from sitting too much or being constantly on the go? You’re not alone. Many of us deal with low energy, back pain, and always feeling irritable or too wound up.
A Nordic Yoga Wellness Retreat could be just what you need to hit the reset button.
Imagine walking along pristine white sand beaches, where the gentle ebb and flow of the waves soothes your mind and the soft sand under your feet grounds you in the present moment. Diving into the refreshing waters of the Baltic Sea, you feel the loving embrace of the ocean as it washes away all the stress of daily life. Picture yourself sitting among the branches of our treehouse meditation platform, taking a few precious moments to release troublesome thoughts.
a complete reset
The Yogi Living Nordic Yoga Wellness Retreat is designed to nourish your soul and revitalize your body. More than a chance to relieve stress, stretch out those tired muscles, and focus on your well-being: it can change your life.
Your life should be more than simply coping and never having time for yourself. You deserve a real break from it all. Not just a few days escape but some time for yourself that is deeply healing and gets your life back on track.
On a Yoga Wellness Retreat each day begins with a healing yoga session. Your body will love your for it! From there, the program is adjusted according to your personal preference. It does not need to be challenging. Classes are typically a blend of breathwork, sun salutations, yoga asanas, and yoga nidra (deeply relaxing). When the weather is fine we practice on the beach.

Personal Treatment
creating a new you
A Yoga Wellness Retreat is all about you. We personalize every aspect of the retreat according to your needs and wishes.
We have a range of yoga practices, a hot-tub, an ice-water dip, cold swimming in the Baltic Sea, a meditation platform and a private yoga practice area at Yogi Living. And a quiet space completely to yourself.
You can choose from the following:
1. Breathwork (Pranayama) | core practice
Pranayamas used include alternate nostril breathing, bellows breath, and Kapalabhati. These calm the mind, balance the nervous system, and improve breathing. These practices release deeply held emotions.
2. Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutation) | core practice
A powerful yoga practice to promote complete inner wellbeing. The practice aims to activate the solar plexus, raising the samat prana, or solar heat, within the body.
3. Asanas (Postures)
The calm practice of yoga coupled with deep breath awareness activates the vagus nerve to help you relax. Perfect for easing depression, anxiety and letting go of stress in the body.
4. Yoga Nidra (Sleep Yoga)
A state of conscious relaxation and meditation that guides practitioners into deep physical, mental, and emotional rest. Heals unhealthy mental patterns, increases confidence, releases anger and renews energy.
5. Meditation | Core Practice
Mindfulness practice to reduce anxiety, and depression, and create inner peace. We do not ask clients to do long sitting meditations, rather, we make use of the time between other practices.
6. Contrast Bath Therapy
Alternating immersion of the body in warm and cold water to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. Stimulate blood flow and quickens healing.
7. Hot Tub
A hot tub promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and soothes sore muscles and joints through the combination of warm water and hydrotherapy jets. It can also improve sleep quality.
8. Personal Masseur | extra option
The benefits of massage on both body and mind hardly need to be described. We do not have a permanent in-house masseur but we can call in a local therapist if you would like to add this treatment to your schedule.
9. Emotional Release (3-Step Process) | Core Practice
Clients are freed from stuck emotions from hurtful past relationships and life traumas. We can then create a new positive energy frequency. The 3 step process is a complete emotional and physical reset and an invaluable part of our Wellness Retreats.
10. Time In Nature
Time in nature reduces stress, lifts mood, and improves overall mental health by fostering a sense of calm and well-being.
11. Cold Swimming
Take a dip in the Baltic Sea! Cold swimming improves circulation, boosts the immune system, and improves mood through the release of endorphins. It can also increase resilience to stress.
12. Cacao Ceremony
Cacao is said to enhance intuition and promote clarity of thought. If you are struggling with difficult decisions, or unresolved conflicts, this practice can be incredibly healing and empowering. Discover for yourself the benefits of drinking ceremonial cacao.
Yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; it is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; it cares about the person you are becoming.

Yoga On The Beach
the best kept secret in Skåne
Skåne is known for its serene, spacious landscapes which offer space to breath, and live a little more slowly. There is time to enjoy the passing moments. Fewer pressures and expectations. This part of Skåne is often called the Swedish Riviera, due to its mild climate and spectacular white sand beaches. It is an environment perfectly suited for the mindful practice of prana yoga.
Stay at our Yoga Bed And Breakfast and you get to experience beach yoga. It can be a special experience, especially for those used to yoga at home or in a city-based yoga studio.
Can you imagine sitting under a clear blue sky, the sea-breeze whispering through the sand dunes, and the murmur of waves behind you? The connection to nature adds depth and power to your yoga practice. It’s why we like to practice on the beach whenever the weather allows it!
There are few places as beautiful and as quiet as Skåne, anywhere in Europe. It’s an experience you will always remember and likely want to know again. Come to Skåne! Experience beach yoga by the Baltic Sea. You too might find a little Swedish magic to take home with you.
rich history and vibrant culture
places in skåne you must see
Skåne is known as the Swedish Riviera for its white sand beaches, broad sunny skies, pretty towns and villages, ancient sites and many historic buildings.
There are medieval churches and historic buildings within 1 hours drive from Klagstorp. Skåne is a paradise for hikers, with trails that pass through a variety of landscapes from dark, dense primeval forests, megalithic monuments, to the gorgeous gold of the rapeseed fields, and an almost endless shoreline. The best known is the Skåneleden Trail, which has 1,600 kilometres of marked pathways.
Originally part of Denmark, Skåne is a captivating patchwork of farmland, lush forests, and clear blue lakes with over 400 kilometers of coastline. The rural areas and quaint fishing villages are dotted with castles, manors, museums, numerous medieval churches and magnificent gardens. The half-timbered, brightly colored houses make it a delight for photographers.
Ystad is set in a rural environment and the surrounding landscape is the characteristic Skåne scenery and atmosphere often portrayed in films, most famously the TV Crime Series Wallander. Its narrow cobblestone streets and brightly colored half-timbered houses create a welcoming atmosphere.
The Ale’s Stones are perched on a hill overlooking the sea close to the fishing village of Kåseberga, near Ystad. Built around 1,400 years ago during the Nordic Iron Age, this site is one of Sweden’s most enigmatic megalithic monuments.
The pristine white sands of Sandhammaren are said to be a match for the best beaches of the Caribbean. It’s been voted as Sweden’s best beach multiple times. Relax on the fine white sand, take a dip in the sea, or enjoy a stroll along beaches that continue for miles.
Malmö is more than a city. It is a hub for meetings, culinary delights, and joyous moments. Ideas flow in Malmö and you can feel it when you visit. The energy is evident in its art, music, and food, as well as in its diverse population. It is a place where people come to realize their dreams.
