Join Amy Baxter in Sweden for a winter escape to get cosy, rest, restore and unwind in nature.
Escape to a cozy winter retreat near Stockholm, nestled on an eco farm surrounded by a serene lake and forest. This peaceful sanctuary offers an opportunity to unwind and immerse yourself in nature. Embrace the Scandi lifestyle with an on-site sauna, and wild swimming right at your doorstep for the adventurous souls! Our retreat embodies the concept of 'Hygge,' a feeling of coziness and contentment found by cherishing the little things during winter. Surrounded by the lake, enjoy the calm and peaceful atmosphere with relaxing walks available from your doorstep. Let's unwind, reconnect, and "retreat" together. We love yoga, travel, and creating magic that can only happen on a retreat!
The Destination
The retreat centre is located in Sweden close to Stockholm surrounded by lakes and forests
Lindeborgs Eco Retreat offers a serene escape surrounded by a stunning lake and forest, outside of Nyköping. The retreat centre boasts a breathtaking view of Lake Hallbosjön and is located 120 kilometres from Stockholm.
Immerse yourself in nature while enjoying innovative agriculture and vegetable gardens, beekeeping, and flower meadows. The venue aims to prioritise the well-being of all life by utilising on-site biochar production and biological water treatment systems to create a healthy and thriving environment. A hundred-year-old barn, called the Eco Barn, is at the centre of the farm and has been renovated using sustainable and natural materials with a conscious design idea. The Eco Barn offers nine bedrooms, each equipped with an ensuite. There is a yoga space that overlooks the beautiful Lake Hallbosjön, an onsite sauna, and a conservatory glass dining room to fully immerse yourself in the surrounding scenery. You will feel at home, comfortable, and completely immersed in the moment while unwinding in this peaceful, beautiful, and sustainable environment.

Find Balance
The yoga shala is surrounded by nature to dive deep into the practice and find serenity
Our yoga studio provides a bright and airy atmosphere, with wooden flooring and a magnificent floor-to-ceiling window that offers a breathtaking view of nature's beauty. The peaceful and tranquil setting will help you enter a state of deep relaxation, allowing you to escape the stresses of daily life and unwind amid nature. We are all about balance on retreat, starting the day with an energising morning flow and winding down with restorative evening practices that will revitalise your body, mind, and spirit from the inside out.
Yoga Styles
Morning Flow
A strong, alignment-based vinyasa practice. Through intelligent sequencing, informed alignment, and yogic wisdom, students are encouraged to slow down and experience every moment of their lives. Our morning practices will be challenging and awakening, yet accessible for all levels.
Evening Mellow
Long, slow, and deep to bring balance, ease, and wholeness back into your practice. A combination of yin and restorative yoga. Postures are low to the ground and are held for longer periods to bring stillness and restoration to the body and mind. These practices give you time to rest and digest and drop into a state of deep relaxation.
Sound Healing
Sound healing is the practice of using different sounds and instruments to create a deep connection with yourself, and your intuition and improve your emotional well-being. Amy will guide you through sound healing sessions using pure quartz crystal singing bowls, incorporating mediation techniques, and using mantra and intention setting to allow you to dive deep into relaxation. Sound healing baths will be practised lying down using props to support the body, offering a space to rest, unwind and heal through the frequency of sound.
Gimme More
Throughout the retreat, there will be special yoga workshops as well as sprinkle-in pranayama and meditation experiences for a complete practice.
Feed the Soul
Just like yoga, a good meal nourishes all the senses and brings people together
We believe a retreat is only as good as the food! Our talented Chef Cecilia will be creating plant-based dishes that will revitalize your body and soul. Together, we have carefully curated a menu that will leave you feeling wholesome and rejuvenated. Our meals are designed to nourish your mind and body, with a focus on plant-based options.
We will begin our day with a delicious breakfast after yoga, followed by a light lunch, and end with a conscious feast in the evening. Our menu features locally-sourced ingredients and delicacies that are sure to delight your taste buds.
Yasuragi Spa Life
We love an experience on retreat, where we can immerse ourselves in local culture and lifestyle. This retreat is designed to help you embrace the Scandi way of life and recharge your batteries. With ample space for rest and seclusion, you can unwind and relax in a peaceful setting. This time, we're offering a day trip as an added extra, so you can continue to live the retreat life. When you check out on the 14th, you can choose to extend your retreat experience at Yasuragi, Sweden's premier Spa and Wellness centre. The Spa is a unique fusion where Japanese bathhouse meets Nordic living. The spa seamlessly integrates with the serene Nordic forests and archipelagos, creating a perfect ambience for profound relaxation. Your day at the spa includes a shuttle from the Lindeborg’s Eco retreat to Yasuragi, dinner at the onsite restaurant, full access to the sauna, steam rooms, ice baths, salt steam rooms, meditation spaces, and even a yoga studio with a variety of classes. The wellness centre offers everything from yin yoga to sound healing, providing the ultimate self-care experience. Please note that this is an additional cost and can be booked as an extra feature. The day trip covers your transfer to Yasuragi and access to the spa until 10pm, but you will need to make your own arrangements for your onward journey to your next destination. Stockholm Arlanda Airport is a (55-minute drive) and Stockholm City is a (25-minute drive). We are of course happy to assist you and can help you arrange for a taxi from Yasuragi. Please note that this is an additional cost and can be booked as an extra feature.
