Ashtanga Yoga Summer Retreat

Introducing our retreat on the beautiful Houtskar island in the Archipelago of Southern Finland
YOGA PROGRAM
Our retreat offers range of daily yoga activities that will help you elevate your yoga practice including philosophy of Yoga Sutras, pranayama and meditation.

The weekly retreat program includes morning Ashtanga practice in Mysore-style, guided beginner’s classes, or a beginner’s course for those new to Ashtanga.

Afternoons are filled with thorough technical analysis, in-depth discussions, pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), and yoga philosophy.
