Renew Body, Mind and Heart
prana yoga in sweden
When did you last take the time to focus on your healing? In you are 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 an occational irritable feeling or just too wound up.
A Prana Yoga Retreat could be just what you need to hit the reset button.
So, what does a prana healing retreat look like? Imagine practising yoga on 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. Dive into the refreshing waters of the Baltic Sea, and 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.
Try a complete reset
Your life should be more than simply coping and never having time for yourself. You deserve a real break from it all. More than a few days escape, a Prana Yoga Retreat is deeply healing and gets your life back on track.
The Prana Yoga 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.
On a Prana Yoga Retreat each day begins with relaxing and energising Prana Yoga. 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 Wellness
creating a new you
A Prana Yoga 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, Nordic cold swimming in the Baltic Sea, a meditation platform and a private yoga practice area at Yogi Living Retreat Center. And quiet space completely to yourself.
The Prana Yoga Retreat is more than just taking extra rest. It involves resetting your routine, recalibrating energy, connecting inner and outer worlds and purifying the body using the breath.
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 and unblock the flow of prana and are a core practice on our Prana Yoga Retreat.
2. Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutation) | core practice
A powerful yoga practice to promote complete inner wellbeing and prana healing. 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 healing 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) | core practice
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. Reducing mental turbulence is a core element of our Prana Yoga Retreat.
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 | optional extra
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 the Prana Yoga Retreat schedule.
9. Emotional Healing (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 the Prana Yoga Retreat.
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.
Prana Healing

Yoga is more than physical exercise, it improves your spiritual and mental well-being. A Prana Yoga Retreat is an opportunity to rest, rejuvenate and heal while also enjoying the Nordic beauty of Skåne.
Here are some of the benefits you get from a Prana Yoga Retreat (click for comments):
1. Detox Body And Mind
A break from schedules and responsibilities to others is refreshing and restful for body and mind. Physically, yoga poses improve the immune system and detox the body, mindfulness practices promote overall well-being and mental clarity.

3. Surround Yourself With Positive Energy
Prana Yoga Retreats exude positive energy, helping you release negativity and stress. The welcoming atmosphere promotes relaxation and reduces overthinking.
4. Re-evaluate Your Life Purpose

frequently asked questions
What is classical tantra yoga?
Classical Tantra Yoga is a spiritual tradition that began in India and thrived between the 5th and 12th centuries. During this time, thousands of texts known as “Tantras” were written. The texts detailed various Tantric practices and included many long commentaries. The primary aim of these yogic practices and beliefs was to elevate consciousness, explore the nature of reality, and achieve spiritual liberation.
What is neo-tantra?
Neo-Tantra and Classical Tantra differ significantly in their focus and practices. Neo-Tantra primarily emphasizes sexual liberation and the concept of sacred sex. In Classical Tantra, sexuality is seen as only one aspect of the human experience that can serve a spiritual practice.
Neo-Tantra and Classical Tantra share little beyond their name and the belief that sexuality doesn’t have to be separate from spirituality.
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.
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. 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).

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. When the weather allows we can arrange an excursion to places like the Ales Stones (the “Swedish Stonehenge”) and local castles and silent lakes.
