WINTER BLISS
Cultural and Yoga Journey in Finland

This 5-day journey transforms your dark and cold winter days into warm connections between souls and the beautiful winter wonderland nature of the North. We will dive deep into Finnish traditions and cultural practices that usually take place in these freezing months. All throughout we will keep warm with a famous wooden sauna, sweaty pilates and heart-opening yoga classes. You will share this experience with 6 other souls with whom you can practice love and compassion.
What is a visit into the north without the Northern lights?
Of course we will take an evening walk to chase this natural spectacle.
You will leave grounded, loved and filled with a bucket full of new tools to lighten up your darker months. Several cultural practices like heat-cold-exposure (yes, I am talking about sauna and ice!) and other tools like different breathing techniques, yoga and pilates will support you to detoxify body and mind. The local vegan nourishment 3 times a day will underline your detox from the inside and leave you happy and nurtured.
Let us get together for this lifetime experience when the trees are full of snow and the sky is sark with beautiful lights. Learn more about your body and its ability to move, breathe and enjoy time in nature and its healing power. A time where it seems like time is standing still.
We would be honored to guide you through a one of a kind experience in our home, Finland!
