Do you want to start the year with a new spark and glow? Be forward and ready after Christmas and New Year's celebrations? Yes? Then you should come to Nøsen and breathe new life into the new year.
We warmly welcome everyone to a five-day space Christmas weekend at Nøsen for immersion in Yoga, healthy food, nature experiences and well-being.
This retreat is for you who want to go deeper into your yoga practice, calm down the old year and find surplus and strength for the new. The days begin with early morning meditation/japa, followed by practice, breathing exercises, technique, study and introduction to classical scriptures. The main focus of this course is the text Bhagavad Gita.
Nøsen is located in magnificent surroundings only 30 minutes from Hemsedal and Fagernes. There are good ski tracks in the area and great nature experiences as far as the eye can see.
Welcome to everyone who wants a great start to the new year!
