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!
