This is a unique opportunity to study deeply the classical sources of Ashtanga Yoga according to Patanjali and the devotional text Uddhava Gita. The prior text is known to be the source of Classical Yoga and the former is a beautiful text on devotion, spirituality and how to embody the ultimate consciousness in the body.
Nøsen is situated in magnificent undisturbed natural surroundings and there will be plenty of time each day to go hiking, enjoy the tranquility, bathe in mountain lakes, cycle, paddle or just lie in the grass to relax.
We serve an exquisite vegetarian food and three meals a day are included in the price together with accommodation in a double room. If you want a single room, there is a small extra charge.
This course is suitable for those seeking a deeper peace of mind, greater clarity of being, meaning and connection with life. We welcome you to Nøsen. Please enjoy our tranquility
of the mountains, enjoy great yoga and indulge in wholesome taste experiences that provide a lightness of the body and peace of mind.
