About This Event

Immerse yourself in the magic of Finnish lake country with seven days of yoga, nature, and unforgettable experiences at the stunning Hotel & Spa Resort Järvisydän on Lake Saimaa.

Morning Hatha Yoga energizes the body while evening Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and meditation bring balance and stillness.

Between sessions, explore ancient forests, cruise through a national park, search for the rare Saimaa ringed seal, and cast a line on a fishing safari. A fire menu dinner in the wine cellar rounds out this extraordinary week.

All levels welcome.
