New Beginnings Winter Retreat


 
sweden winter retreat

Join Amy and Janet in Sweden for a New Year’s winter escape to remember.

Escape to a cozy winter retreat near Stockholm, celebrate the closure of one year and venture into new beginnings 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 an ice dip 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.

Immerse yourself in nature while enjoying innovative agriculture and vegetable gardens, beekeeping, and flower meadows. The venue prioritises 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. 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.


Your Teachers & Hosts

Amy and Janet are yogis, teachers, wanderlusters, and lovers of life.

These two are dedicated teachers, students and world travellers. When they aren’t planning yoga classes, they are planning their next holiday.

When it comes to yoga, their practices are strong, creative, and always a bit cheeky! Both of these experienced teachers ooze kindness in every conversation and interaction they have with the people around them. They are inclusive and believe every student and person in the room deserves to be seen. You will feel at home in their presence and inspired to live your life to the fullest.

They are also passionate about travelling, and exploring the world and believe the best escape is all about balance on and off the mat. Expect to be fully immersed, escape the daily hustle, and feel balanced and nourished with a spice of adventure!

We can’t wait to hang out with you!

Amy’s Bio

Janet’s Bio

 

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 Yin

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.

And yes, we’ll be having a special New Year’s Eve feast. We can’t wait to gather around the table with you, eat our hearts out and celebrate! We can accommodate all dietary requests and are curating a menu with Cecilia so please let us know what’s up in your booking form!
