Welcome to the mountains - let go and receive.

The main focus throughout the weekend is yoga, breathing and paying attention to your own everyday life.

How about a real Time Out? An opportunity to get a foot on the ground and feel how you feel?

What are you grateful for and satisfied with in life? What would you like to change, do differently or have more of in your everyday life? We explore the possibilities of letting go of old patterns - what do you want to let go of?

We invite you to an energizing weekend filled with beautiful nature and fresh air, delicious food, yoga, breathing exercises and meditation. We explore how we create and enter into patterns in everyday life, and smell how we do it when we are in the "default mode network". With a friendly presence, we explore stress and how we come into contact with other people, so that by being aware you can make good choices in your everyday life.

You will learn a simple, tailored yoga sequence for your daily practice and a couple of good breathing techniques that reduce stress. We also look at how you can take care of yourself and your needs in the face of a busy everyday life. The weekend gives you a "first aid kit" of good techniques that you take back with you, but also a weekend where you can rest and recover in the safe and nurturing surroundings.

Join us for a lovely weekend filled with

  yoga - meditation - tranquility - nature - stress management

Join us for a transformative weekend dedicated to mastering the Fluid Flexibility method—a unique approach that integrates active flexibility, movement fluidity, and strength-building within traditional yoga asana. This retreat is designed for yogis who are eager to deepen their practice by honing their body awareness, improving strength, and moving with greater confidence and intuition.

Throughout the weekend, you will immerse yourself in a series of expertly guided sessions that focus on activating core muscle groups while safely and effectively deepening your postures. The Fluid Flexibility method emphasizes the importance of mindful engagement, ensuring that each movement is both supportive and sustainable for your body. Through this approach, you’ll learn to move with a newfound grace and fluidity that enhances your overall yoga experience.

Each session is carefully crafted to build upon the last, allowing you to progressively refine your technique and embody the principles of Fluid Flexibility. You’ll explore dynamic sequences that challenge your strength and flexibility while cultivating a deeper connection to your body’s natural rhythm. The method encourages a mindful approach to movement, helping you stretch further and move more intuitively with each practice.

What to Expect

• Active Flexibility: Learn to safely deepen your stretches by engaging the muscles that support your joints, leading to increased flexibility and mobility.

• Movement Fluidity: Develop a seamless flow in your practice, moving with grace and precision through each posture.

• Strength-Building: Strengthen core muscle groups to support your flexibility, preventing injury and enhancing your overall physical resilience.

• Embodied Awareness: Cultivate a deeper understanding of your body’s movements, allowing for more confident and intuitive practice.

The Results

By the end of the weekend, you’ll notice significant improvements in your practice. The Fluid Flexibility method accelerates progress, helping you develop greater body awareness, strength, and a deeper connection to your movements. Expect to leave with not only a stronger, more flexible body but also a renewed sense of confidence and ease in your practice.

Whether you’re an experienced yogi or new to the practice, this weekend offers a powerful opportunity to transform the way you move and connect with your body. Join us and discover the profound benefits of Fluid Flexibility.

About Francesca Golfetto

Hey! I am Francesca Golfetto, professional ballet dancer, certified yoga instructor and mum of 2. My interest towards yoga started as a hobby, to keep my body healthy while releasing physical and mental tensions created from the strenuous ballet regime.

However, it was through injury that yoga became my healing resource and my passion. Yoga has quickly given me many new dimensions to the already extensive experience with physical and mental exercises. I truly love sharing my experience and knowledge while remaining a student in my quest for new knowledge.

My style is based on fluidity of movements, using a combination of active flexibility and mobility to create strength without building tension. My classes are recognized for a high level of energy, a bit of laughter and a wide range of natural sequences aiming to benefit body and mind for all levels.

I teach daily classes in Oslo, online with @naardic and my own platform as well as international yoga organised events. On IG I am @francescagolfetto - www.francescagolfetto.com

You will learn how to stop self-sabotage and how to effectively get closer to manifesting the life you are dreaming of. Here is how:

“There is no contradiction between using basic knowledge of anatomy and working intuitively and deeply in yoga.”

Join us for an intensive retreat designed for Ashtanga practitioners of all levels. Whether you’re just beginning or have years of experience, this retreat will help you build a healthy practice rooted in an understanding of movement. It’s especially useful if you teach or plan to teach yoga.

During our time together, you’ll explore the basic principles of movement as the relate to your Ashtanga practice: we’ll dive into how your muscles and joints function in forward bends, twists, backbends, and more. All asanas (yoga poses) contain a combination of these movements, and They will look different in each body according to a person’s range of motion and habitual patterns.

By understanding how your body moves, you’ll be able to adapt and do various asanas with or without modifications- and develop your practice constructively over time. On a deeper level you are working with breath and movement to unlock your body and mind from unconscious patterns and experience greater freedom and ease!

Come join us in Nøsen’s supportive and friendly environment to deepen your practice and knowledge!

Velkommen til en vinterferie litt utenom det vanlige.
I vakre omgivelser på Nøsen.

Are you curious about yoga or eager to advance your practice? Do you want to deepen your understanding of both the physical yoga poses (asanas) and yoga philosophy? Would you like to establish solid, steady routines in your daily life that you can carry with you wherever you go, whether out into the world or at home on your living room floor? Then these days are for you!

Here at Nøsen, we believe that the best days are the ones that start early. That's why we begin each day with morning meditation and physical yoga poses, while the mountains gradually come into view outside the windows as the day comes to life. Afterward, we enjoy a nourishing, hearty, and delicious breakfast, taking the time to soak in the peace and tranquility that surrounds us on all sides.

This course is suitable for all levels, and we will help you find depth according to your abilities and capacity. During the week, you'll gain valuable tools to enrich your personal yoga practice and, hopefully, your life as a whole.

This week’s philosophy classes will focus on what it means to integrate yoga into daily life. How can yoga help us find steadier footing in challenging situations? We’ll explore what the ancient yoga texts have to say on the subject and discuss how to interpret them in a modern context.

Intimate Concert with Jannike Kruse

Jannike Kruse is a name familiar to many of us. She is a singer and actress from Oslo, known for her roles in numerous acclaimed musicals (including As It Is in Heaven, Hair, Fame, and The Phantom of the Opera), theater productions (Rain Man), and films (Diana's Wedding, A Somewhat Gentle Man, among others). She frequently performs concerts and lends her voice to audiobooks and animated films. This fall, she will play the lead role in the musical Next to Normal, which will be staged at the new Hjorten Theater in Trondheim.

We are proud and thrilled that Jannike will be spending the winter holiday with us at Nøsen. On Saturday evening, she will perform a concert! We are already looking forward to it.

P.S. There’s a good chance for some surprise musical moments throughout the week as well.

Nøsen is located in magnificent, untouched natural surroundings, and plenty of time is set aside each day to enjoy the tranquility and go for walks, either with or without skis. If conditions allow, we’re happy to create a hole in the ice for a refreshing ice bath.

We serve exquisite vegetarian food, and three meals per day are included in the price, along with accommodation in double or triple rooms. If you prefer a single room, there is a small additional charge.

Welcome to enjoy the winter days with us!

Do you want to gain greater awareness of how you move in your practice?

Or do you want to take your teaching to another level?

This workshop is for those who want to gain a better understanding of the physical postures. How do I move, what happens in the body, what do I want to achieve with the posture and what is a good adjustment?

You will learn how to apply effective adjustments and gain confidence with more tools to help your students succeed in their practice. And not only that, because by learning how to make adjustments you will gain greater awareness on how you move in your own practice.

• Why should we make adjustment in the first place?

• What makes a good fit? Where should our body be placed?

• What setting is appropriate for each student?

• Is it okay to put your hands on them?

• How much pressure should I apply?

These are some of the topics we will cover during the workshop.

This retreat is not only for teachers, but for everyone who would like to learn and dive a little deeper into your asanas practice.

Nøsen is surrounded by beautiful nature and towering mountain peaks. There is ample time for hiking, bathing in Storfjorden, or simply relaxing. Three delicious, nutritious meals are served each day. The food is vegetarian, prepared with local ingredients and an eastern touch.
