Yoga On The Beach
the best kept secret in Skåne
Skåne County 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 a peaceful environment perfectly suited for mindful practice of yoga in nature.
On the BNB Retreat 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 yoga 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 have again. Come to our Nordic BnB in Skåne! Experience beach yoga by the Baltic Sea. You too might find a little Swedish magic to take home with you.

exploring a rich history and vibrant culture
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.
For those who prefer urban experiences, Skåne offers the cities of Malmö with a view of the Öresunds bridge, the old university town Lund and the picturesque charm of Ystad. Each city provides a unique dining experience and vibrant cultural scene.
The following are just some of the attractions within easy reach of our BNB Retreat.
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.
Foteviken Museum is listed by Lonely Planet’s editorial team as one of the 500 tourist destinations you must see before you die. During the summer, the village is populated by individuals reenacting the lives Vikings. Traditional tasks on show Include crafting jewelry, dyeing thread and fabric, and cheese making.
Malmö is more than a city. It is a hub of 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. Famous from the netflix series ‘the bridge’.
Skåne is known for its white sand beaches, and broad sunny skies. There are pretty towns and villages, ancient sites and many historic buildings and churches within 1 hours drive from Klagstorp, where the BNB Retreat is located. 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.
If you are looking to explore on foot, there is hiking along lanes and paths local to Yogi Living Retreat Center. We have a relatively easy Medieval Churches Walk and a more challenging all day Four Beach Hike. Ask us for directions when you are here.
