Yogi Living
nordic yoga retreat center
Yogi Living is a family-run Scandinavian yoga retreat center set in a quiet rural village, beneath the wide-open skies of Skåne in south Sweden, close to the Baltic Sea.
The Yoga Retreat Center has a peaceful and grounded feel, but it’s also part of the rhythm of local village life. We are located on a road, so you will sometimes hear the rumble of passing traffic or neighbors going about their day—and sometimes be approached by a friendly cat in the garden!
This is not a place for total withdrawal or complete silence but rather a space to explore practical yoga methods that are meant to integrate into everyday life. At Yogi Living, you’ll experience the beauty of yoga in harmony with the gentle hum of life around you, creating a balance between inner peace and the outside world.
More Than Yoga
The teachings at Yogi Living are based on the traditional yoga of India and Tibet, and awakening the heart center—but you will find more than just a simple Yoga Retreat Center here.
Relax in the warmth of our hot tub under the night sky. The ultimate way to unwind and relax tired muscles at the end of the day.
The best kept secret in Skåne! Feel the sand under your feet and practice yoga to the soothing rhythm of gentle waves as the sun rises over the Baltic Sea.
A sanctuary within a sanctuary. Meditate within the gentle sway of the branches, the sound of birds chirping, and wind whispering in the leaves.
More than yoga instruction—our guidance comes from the heart. We believe that love has the power to heal and transform lives. Every lesson is a bridge to deeper connection, joy, and peace.
Skåne is a place where history lingers under every stone, on every pathway and on the distant horizon. It is a place where the past and present merge, and has a serenity that perfectly matches the journey inward.

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.
