Re-Wilding Yourself Yoga Retreat 27 - 30th October 2022 - SOLD OUT. (Please email www.info@alchemiseyogastudio.com if you would like to go on our waiting list or sign up for our next five day retreat to Sweden)
Alchemise Yoga Studio owner Wendy invites you to her Re-Wilding Yourself Yoga Retreat to the dense Swedish Forest, right on the edge of a mystical fresh water lake.
Are you feeling called to return to nature, your true nature, commune deeply with her and immerse yourself in the abundant flora and fauna?
Does the idea of spotting wildlife such as wolves, bears, lynx and owls or the magnificent ”king of the Swedish forest”, moose – otherwise known as elk – ignite your senses alive?
Perhaps a dip in the lake and sauna will inspire your creativity.
Join Wendy for three days of untamable, wildness living in natural habitat and exploring all things divinely feminine.
Located just two hours from Stockholm the dense forests of Bergslagen around Skinnskatteberg, are a fantastic place to encounter the very best of Sweden’s wildlife.
Outside of yoga practices there is a wood burning floating sauna on the lake for you to enjoy or perhaps you’d love to indulge in a personal healing treatment suchas, Craniosacral therapy, Balaniese massage or Shamanic womb awakening. Try the sense deprivation tank for deep release, dive into a book from the library, explore well-signed walks, gather around a bonfire, as it will be around Samhain time.
Accomodation is clean and simple, cared for with love, bathroom and showers will be shared.

Yoga:
There will be two practices offered daily both of workshop quality:
A Morning Solar Radiance Practice to embody the energy of mother nature and sunlight into the body. These practices will be dynamic, at a playful growth edge, themed, journalling, fun and insightful. Expect a warm, balanced glow before breakfast.
A late afternoon/sunset Sublime Nectar Practice to capture the golden hours of magic within your body and senses. These practices will consist of: movement meditations, somatic release, restorative yoga, yoga nidra, moon wisdom & Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls guided deep rest.
All levels are most welcome, although, Alchemise Yoga Studio recommends complete beginners begin by practicing at the studio (or elsewhere) before the retreat. As a marker, the afternoon sessions will be suitable for beginners, the morning sessions will require some previous yoga embodiment. Some experience is preferable and recommended to gain the most out of this retreat offering.

You are investing in your future self.
