Upward Spiral Kundalini retreat
Activate Your inner life force
Kundalini awakening is a dynamic journey that touches every level: body, mind, and soul.
To support your inner transformation you will learn time tested kundalini techniques to activate your chakra energy and open the flow of life within you. When this energy rises, you begin to live more from your heart: free from past fears and with increased clarity.
You will learn powerful yogic practices – chakra opening pranayamas, chakra meditations, and kundalini yoga kriyas – that tap into your deepest being. These help you to release old patterns, emotional blockages, and realize your inner potential.
Kundalini awakening does not happen overnight. But with patience and everyday practice you are likely to experience small miracles in your everyday life.
A Kundalini Yoga Retreat can be challenging, but it can plant a seed that changes your life.
A Kundalini Awakening Retreat is an opportunity to heal, reflect, and emerge stronger, more connected to the essence of who you truly are.

3 Reasons to activate Your Kundalini
1. Become a Better Version of Yourself
This is a journey for heightened self-awareness. Kundalini Kriya yoga helps to discover a sense of purpose, inner peace, and vitality. A Kundalini Activation Retreat provides tools to integrate a higher state of consciousness into everyday life. For many, a this experience is a catalyst for long-term growth.
2. Rise Beyond Limitations
You will be guided through powerful yogic practices—pranayamas, chakra meditations, and kundalini yoga kriyas. Together these help you tap into your deepest being, release old patterns, emotional blockages, and achieve your highest potential.
3. Open your Chakras and Kundalini Energy
Awakening the chakras is like shifting from still water to sparkling — suddenly, life has more aliveness, more movement. Energy flows where there was once stagnation, and your inner world is light up with clarity and connection.
Kundalini energy rises like a wave of light, a shimmering sensation that moves through the body, subtle yet electric, like northern lights moving through your body.
Yet, true Kundalini awakening goes deeper than sensations. It’s the moment you stop living from fear, and start living from the heart — fully, courageously, and in tune with your inner self.
Kundalini Awakening Retreat Program
activate your chakras and shine your Light
There are chakra opening pranayama, asana and Kriya classes on each day of the Kundalini Activation Retreat. Typically, each day consists of a 2-hour chakra awakening yoga class in the morning and a Kundalini Kriya class again in the afternoon. We have a tantric meditation class every second evening, plus time for personal practice and quite reflection.
We adjust the program together. We are very open for your personal wishes (eg. maybe you want to learn Tibetan or Kashmiri Kundalini tantra). A normal day on the Kundalini Activation Retreat day might look something like this:

FAQ: Retreat and Kundalini Activation
Is this a silent retreat?
The communication level of the Kundalini Activation Retreat is entirely up to you. There are many forceful practices to learn and in the beginning you may have many questions, which may require communication.
However, we do advise maintaining silence two days at the end of your retreat. Noble silence, or mauna, has been used for centuries as a means to both deepen your meditation and to catalyze personal insight.
We are there if you need support in your process. Should you need support, emotional or otherwise, on the Kundalini Activation Retreat please feel free to talk with the teacher at the Retreat Center.
Is Kundalini Awakening Yoga Dangerous?
Kundalini Awakening is not a one-time event, but, an ongoing process requiring dedication and patience. It is a personal and very subjective experience that may vary greatly from person to person. Some may get a gradual and gentle energy awakening, while others may have intense and overwhelming sensations. A Kundalini Activation Retreat will teach you practices that work, and give you the tools to manage your awakening process.
You will find many posts online that talk of dramatic experiences with Kundalini awakening. These kinds of experiences are very rare with correct preparation and guided practice (see The 3 Stages Of Kundalini Awakening on the Kundalini Awakening page). They can, however, happen spontaneously. This is why guidance from an experienced teacher is essential. We belive in the power of time tested techniques to create change without the need of divine intervention of a God or a Guru.
Is Kundalini Yoga Tantric?
Kundalini Yoga has its roots in the tantric tradition. When tantra was suppressed during the Moghul invasions, many of its inner practices were preserved in what later became known as Kundalini Yoga.
Both traditions share the understanding that we can awaken through the energy body, using breath, mantra, kundalini kriyas and activating internal energy channels, ida and pingela.
Yet, Kundalini Yoga took a more ascetic turn. It focusses on the individual transformation without working with relational practices and energies. The lifestyle is also sattvic — avoiding hot spices or stimulating foods that might stir sexual energy — keeping the focus on purity and subtle inner awakening in the individual.
What we teach is the ancient form of Kundalini Yoga. It is not the more modern version invented by Yogi Bajan, which has little to do with the tantric tradition.
What's included on a Kundalini Activation Retreat?
Your booking includes accommodation, meals and basic facilities plus teachings in traditional Kundalini Tantra Yoga. Please be aware, these teaching are in no way connected with the Kundalini Yoga of Yogi Bhajan. They are taken directly from source: the traditional unadulterated Yoga Tantras of India and Tibet.
Kundalini Awakening Retreat vs Kundalini Tantra Yoga Retreat
What form of meditation is taught?
Teaching on the Kundalini Activation Retreat is based on Indian and Tibetan forms of kundalini tantra yoga, and is non-denominational. This includes various forms of tantric and kundalini yoga meditations, chakra activating asanas and chakra opening pranayamas. In addition we do supportive practices such as active or dynamic meditations, emotional release work. During and in between practices we discuss tantra and yoga philosophy.
Do I need yoga experience?
Not at all. Yoga classes are optional and tailored to individual needs, without the complicated postures you may see online. If you would rather meditate sitting on a chair or a meditation pillow that is perfectly fine.
Are classes held in English?
Yogi Living Retreat Center resident yoga teacher Winnie Winnetu speaks English, Swedish, Danish, French and German so don’t worry if you cannot speak Swedish!
How do I get to Yogi Living Retreat Center?
Yogi Living Retreat Center is located in Skåne, South Sweden close to the vibrant city of Malmö.

What is the local area like?
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.
