This retreat aims at helping you better understand the fluctuations of your nervous system and its signals and how it affects your body (i.e., physical pain, injuries) and your emotions (e.g., trauma resurfacing, panic attacks). 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:

• Physically intense, yet powerfully therapeutic, Forrest Yoga sequences which will create harmony in your body. Accessible for all levels.

We are meant to use such learning experiences as a call for action to discover our own, unique gifts and put them into good use and be of service to humanity. I strongly believe that we are here for a higher purpose. Let me help you get more clarity on what’s yours!

Come and learn a unique system: Taijiwuxigong

It will be a varied weekend with theory and exercises: the origins of Qigong and Taiji, why unnecessary stress and poor posture make us ill, breathing techniques, meditation, as well as standing, seated, and lying exercises. The exercises make us strong and focused, yet light and playful, and are based on the very essence of yin and yang.

The course is suitable for both beginners and those who already have experience with Qigong and Taiji.

After a Highly Successful Course in the Fall, Jim Returns to Share More Knowledge About Taijiwuxigong

A complete system developed directly from Taijiquan by Dr. Shen Hongxun to combat the strains and health issues associated with modern lifestyles. The system is easy to learn, serves as a safe and effective self-healing method for physical and emotional challenges, and also provides the foundational principles for healing others.

Many people talk about or study Qi for years, but few actually feel Qi as a living, flowing experience in their own bodies. The Qigong taught here can give you this direct experience and positively impact your health by optimizing the body's inherent healing abilities. An element of this practice can also awaken latent innate functions often described in Eastern literature.

TaijiWuxiGong/Wuxi Daoyin

Daoyin consists of controlled movements and semi-spontaneous exercises targeting specific areas of the body. These exercises are part of the Qigong system Taijiwuxigong, which translates directly to "Five-Joint Breathing." Through Daoyin, we focus on five different body areas (head/neck, arms/shoulders, chest, abdomen/hips, and feet/heels) and work with all the joints in the body, allowing them to "breathe" and renew themselves by removing stagnation. This practice also stimulates the circulation of joint fluids, replacing old fluid with new and thereby bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the joints.

Spontaneous Movements

Spontaneous movement is a vital part of our Qigong and Taiji practice. Only when Qi is in motion can stagnation and blockages be removed. Spontaneous movement is a natural phenomenon in life, as the human body is constantly active through various physiological processes without conscious involvement. From an Eastern perspective, energy also moves at different frequencies.

Specialized spontaneous exercises have been developed to regulate, normalize, and optimize frequencies, mobility, and physiological processes. Mastering these exercises can significantly accelerate progress in one’s practice.

Dr. Shen Hongxun

Founder of the Systems: Dr. Shen, a physician trained in both Western and Chinese medicine, a lama in Tibetan Buddhism, and one of the most knowledgeable Tai Chi instructors in the world, combined "secret" knowledge from Chinese martial arts with insights from modern medicine. Through this synthesis, he developed entirely unique systems to help people navigate the challenges of modern life.

Jim Klarp

Jim Klarp is a co-owner of Qigongsenteret – Oslo’s largest center for Taiji and Qigong instruction. He has studied and practiced Qigong, Taiji, and meditation since 2006. He has earned certifications as a Taijiwuxigong instructor and in Buqi (energy healing) under Dr. Shen Hongxun and his daughter, Shen Jin. Additionally, Jim has gained expertise in several of Dr. Shen’s disciplines, including E-mei, YiJin Jing Daoyin, Pushing Hands, and meditation.

Before focusing on Qigong and Taiji, Jim trained in Wado Karate for 12 years, achieving a 2nd Dan black belt. He competed on the Wado national team and taught children, youth, and adults for 10 years.

In his teaching, Jim is committed to preserving Dr. Shen’s knowledge so it is not lost. He focuses on sharing his deep understanding and insight, placing great emphasis on personal guidance and follow-up with his students.

Bli med på en nærende Pilates-helg på vakre Nøsen Yoga Hotell, hvor vi vil dykke
dypt inn i Pilates i dens klassiske ånd.
Uansett om du er nybegynner eller har erfaring, vil denne helgen være en perfekt anledning til å koble av fra hverdagens mas og få ny energi

Vi vil utfordre oss med ulike Pilates-små utstyr som Magic Circle og strikk, noe som gir en ekstra dimensjon til øvelsene. Øktene vil foregå på matte, hvor vi fokuserer på å styrke, mobilisere og tøye kroppen. Du vil få grundig opplæring i Pilates’ grunnprinsipper og lære å anvende dem i praksis gjennom en rekke mobiliserings- og styrkeøvelser. Under helgen er det også satt av tid til de som ønsker å dra på tur. Ta med fjellski eller langrennsski for å utforske fjellet fra skiløypene og få en enda rikere naturopplevelse. Denne helgen er en flott mulighet til å møte nye mennesker, finne roen i naturskjønne omgivelser, og forynge både kropp og sinn. Kom alene eller ta med en venn!

Velkommen til en helg fylt med bevegelse, velvære og inspirasjon på Nøsen Yoga Hotell!

Pilates er en unik treningsmetode som kombinerer styrke, fleksibilitet og kontroll gjennom spesifikke øvelser. Utviklet av Joseph Pilates tidlig på 1900-tallet, fokuserer Pilates på å styrke kjernemuskulaturen og forbedre kroppens balanse. Pilates som en Body&Mind metode hjelper med å finne sin "her og nå" i bevegelse. Tre fordeler med Pilates inkluderer forbedret kroppsholdning, økt fleksibilitet og styrket kjernemuskulatur. I tillegg kan Pilates bidra til å redusere stress og forebygge skader. Regelmessig praksis kan føre til bedre kroppskontroll og generell fysisk velvære.

Hvem kan delta: Dette er Pilates helg som passer for alle. Alle, uavhengig av erfaringsnivå, er velkomne! Dette er en flott mulighet til å komme bort fra hverdagens stress, møte nye mennesker og forfriske kroppen din med pilates i fjellheimen.

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

Asker Yoga Shala med Tina arrangerer to yoga-retreats på Nøsen yoga og fjellhotell i året, vår og høst. Vårt mål med dette oppholdet er å tilby gode yogatimer, fysiske og myke/rolige klasser som vil gi en opplevelse av indre ro samtidig som du vil styrke kroppen på en skånsom måte. Vi jobber fysisk så vel som mentalt og har derfor satt av god tid til teori både lørdag og søndag. Spørsmål mottas med takk og både de fysiske yogatimene og teoretiske bolkene vil inkludere alle, uansett forkunnskaper. Programmet er satt men innholdet kan tilpasses deltagerne, erfaringsmessig skaper drevne utøvere og de som er nye til yoga sammen en spennende og god dynamikk.

Nøsen er en perfekt ramme for en Retreat som dette, med naturen tilgjengelig for turer eller bare for å nyte den flotte utsikten fra hotellet. Det settes av tid på lørdagen for tur, lesing, strikking mm. Det serveres tre vegetariske måltider om dagen, frokost og varm-lunsj og middag.

Om Tina

Tina Ørbeck-Nilssen eier og driver Asker Yoga Shala, hun har mange års erfaring som yogalærer og egen praksis. Tina underviser mange ulike grupper, Ashtanga yoga ledet og Mysore (1`ste og 2`dreserien) i tillegg til et bredt spekter andre yogaklasser. Hun holder i tillegg workshops og kurs. Ved siden av yogaundervisningen jobber hun som Ayurvedisk yogamassasje-terapeut, en behandlingsform som de siste årene har blitt veldig populært i yogastudioet i Asker. Ayurveda er som Yoga et helhetlig system som både virker forebyggende og behandlende. Det Ayurvediske systemet eller tenkningen vil presenteres i kombinasjon med yoga teori/filosofi og kan på denne måten bidra til et mer balansert helhetlig bilde hvor personlighet og livssituasjon blir tatt hensyn til. Nå Tina på hei@askeryogashala.no

Noe av det vi vil se nærmere på:

• Hvordan integrere yoga i hverdagen?

• Hvordan bygge opp en sunn og helsebringende yogapraksis

En weekend som dette vil gi rom for å rette fokuset på seg selv, opplevelsen av ro og konsentrert tilstedeværelse over en lengre periode. Dette kan i større grad bidra til at denne gode følelsen integreres i kroppen også en god stund i etterkant av oppholdet. Det blir presentert øvelser og teknikker som kan benyttes på egenhånd etter litt øvelse, inkludert både fysiske- og puste øvelser. Dette oppholdet passer godt for deg som ønsker en helg for deg selv men også som en tur sammen med venner/venninner. Det er god tid til sosialisering og egentid respekteres.

Hjertelig velkommen!

Enjoy the Easter holidays at Nøsen!

Our own Alexander and Nøsen invite you to the Sadhana intensive 11 - 16 April or 16 - 21 April. Suitable for beginners as well as advanced students.

These five days provide a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in yoga with Alexander Medin, who has decades of yoga practice, study and teaching behind him. Throughout the course, he will help you develop a solid personal practice and routines that strengthen both body and mind in everyday life (see schedule below).

Alexander will focus on what classical yoga really is, and how it has developed in different directions in our modern era. We explore different styles and techniques, look at what they have in common, and how they interpret yoga in different ways. By delving into the basic principles and the connection between techniques and exercises, we want to give a clearer picture of what yoga is - and how it can be integrated on a personal level.

The course is adapted to both beginners and advanced students. Participants will be divided into two groups based on experience and skill level. Each morning starts with early meditation/japa, followed by a guided class or Mysore practice, as well as breathing exercises, technique, study and introduction to classical yoga texts. In the afternoons, there will be light yoga practice, philosophy, breathing exercises or technique classes with a focus on mastering the positions.

Nøsen is located in the middle of magnificent, undisturbed natural surroundings, and every day there is plenty of time to explore the area. Here you can go hiking, strap on your skis, or just enjoy the silence. The ski slopes with panoramic views start right outside the door, and for alpine lovers it is only 10 minutes to Vaset and 30 minutes to Hemsedal. Both cross-country and alpine skis are available for loan. If you prefer peace and relaxation, there are also plenty of opportunities to retreat in front of the fireplace.

We serve tasty, nutritious vegetarian food, and three meals a day are included in the price, along with accommodation.

Welcome to Nøsen!

Enjoy the Easter holidays at Nøsen!

Our own Alexander and Nøsen invite you to the Sadhana intensive 11 - 16 April or 16 - 21 April. Suitable for beginners as well as advanced students.

These five days provide a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in yoga with Alexander Medin, who has decades of yoga practice, study and teaching behind him. Throughout the course, he will help you develop a solid personal practice and routines that strengthen both body and mind in everyday life (see schedule below).

Alexander will focus on what classical yoga really is, and how it has developed in different directions in our modern era. We explore different styles and techniques, look at what they have in common, and how they interpret yoga in different ways. By delving into the basic principles and the connection between techniques and exercises, we want to give a clearer picture of what yoga is - and how it can be integrated on a personal level.

The course is adapted to both beginners and advanced students. Participants will be divided into two groups based on experience and skill level. Each morning starts with early meditation/japa, followed by a guided class or Mysore practice, as well as breathing exercises, technique, study and introduction to classical yoga texts. In the afternoons, there will be light yoga practice, philosophy, breathing exercises or technique classes with a focus on mastering the positions.

Nøsen is located in the middle of magnificent, undisturbed natural surroundings, and every day there is plenty of time to explore the area. Here you can go hiking, strap on your skis, or just enjoy the silence. The ski slopes with panoramic views start right outside the door, and for alpine lovers it is only 10 minutes to Vaset and 30 minutes to Hemsedal. Both cross-country and alpine skis are available for loan. If you prefer peace and relaxation, there are also plenty of opportunities to retreat in front of the fireplace.

We serve tasty, nutritious vegetarian food, and three meals a day are included in the price, along with accommodation.

Welcome to Nøsen!

Join either half retreat 9th - 12th of May or the full retreat 9th - 14th of May 2025

Healing your soul, emotions, past experiences will bring peace and satisfaction to your life. In order to achieve that mission, it is important to train ourselves to activate our body with yoga, purify our nervous system with a good lifestyle, observe our mental habits with meditation, connect into the depth of our heart with unconditional love and let it go!

Deep meditation Retreat (3 or 5 days) is a process of dealing with our own story of life to face our personal challenges: like painful memories, traumas, feeling stuck in a certain difficult situation, grief, separations, anger, panic attacks, accidents, depressions, fears and specially all kind of addictions…. Looking deeply at ourselves “in the meditative mirror” to make changes in our mental habits to grow as a person and to be happy through a process of deep meditation and yoga. 

Through this process we invite you to rebuild yourself from the bottom up. It will bring focus to your personal histories, ancestors, conception, pregnancy, childhood, teenage years and family relationships. Then it frees you from unnecessary burdens of the past. In this way we can work out with what prevents us from moving forward and prospering in life... It’s time for us to be happy, to leave our fears, our traumas and our sensations of panic behind.  

This therapeutic workshop contributes to the deep transformation of the Self, thanks to the internal work through the technology that Kundalini Yoga teaches us, building a connection at that very moment, with the heart and the inner self. And above all, this process will take us, at a subconscious level, to the mental, physical and spiritual space of “cleaning the house” from any sensation of pain, traumas, weakening of emotions which have not been adequately assimilated, frustrations, fear that dwells in us, anger that result from all these undigested feelings, depressions and “heart ́s illnesses”.  

All of which hinder literally the awareness of the present moment, because of the anxieties we experience all the time, and separate us from the sensation of the divine presence of ourselves. We will explore together our liberation through a process of rebirthing and personal healing, thanks to this ancient technology of healing our “Self”. 

Anybody who wants to commit to his/her personal development and growth may participate, even with no experience in yoga and meditation, although having some experience helps a lot to go deeper.
