Nøsen Yoga Retreat is a high-mountain lodge, surrounded by pristine lakes, meadows and waterfalls. The region offers exciting opportunities for both adults and children, all year around. Around Nøsen, there are several mountain tops reaching 1700 meters above sea level and great opportunities for skiing, cycling, paddling and fishing. The hotel has rich history, receiving its first guests as far back as in 1888.

Alexander Medin took over the management of the hotel in 2015, with a dream of turning it into Norway (and Europe's) premier Yoga retreat destination.

An experienced yoga instructor, Alexander focuses on yoga's potential for personal development.

He has driven initiatives such as Gangsteryoga, a project to bring yoga to inmates in prison, and Back in the ring, leveraging yoga as a practice to fight drug addiction. Together with participants to the "Back in the Ring" project, he has restructured the hotel and created a place for everyone and anyone to come and strengthen their body, mind and soul, relax their shoulders, take in the nature and practice yoga in a warm and generous environment.

In 2016, Nøsen served as a Syrian Refugee Camp. We posted a few pictures from that time below.
