Varberg Winter Retreat – Ett Unikt yogaretreat i Varberg

Choose a mat and lie down. Then release, let go, and dissolve into stillness. Rest deeply into the quiet arms of winter; the sacred pause before rebirth. Through the healing frequencies of Holly’s alchemy crystal bowls, you’ll be guided to release what is ready to fall away: old stories, energies, and layers no longer needed. Nothing to do but surrender.

In Holly’s second session, the focus shifts from endings to the fertile space of becoming. Lie down and close your eyes. Within the resonant field of the crystal bowls, you’ll be guided to connect with your inner light and the seed of new life stirring beneath the surface. We’ll share an intention to awaken the heart and solar plexus, so that you leave feeling full of love, inspiration and a gentle power.

This closing sound journey celebrates renewal – stepping forward with clarity, purpose, and light. The pure crystalline frequencies from Holly’s alchemy bowls will lift your energy from root to crown, leaving you feeling rested but uplifted, spacious, and ready to bloom into the next chapter of your life.

There are plenty of ways to shortcut your way into a pose, or at least something that looks like the pose on quick inspection, but here we’ll be focusing on integrity over aesthetics. Backbends have countless benefits, if done mindfully, but have lots of less-than-desirable outcomes if you are ‘chasing the shape’. Here, through a controlled vinyasa practice, we’ll be especially looking at; finding evenness, enhancing technique, building strength and finding comfort, in your backbends. We’ll strengthen your over- loose bits and open your over-tight bits. 

Instead of making pretty, dramatic shapes, we’ll be moving and exploring our hips with control, strength and integrity. Though  a magic combination of dynamic movements, range-of-motion exploration, static poses and theory, we will give the hips 60 minutes of the stuff they need, in all directions; not the stuff they necessarily want! They’ll be plenty of thoughts and considerations for you to take away to your regular practice.

Every 21st-century body loves and needs some twists. We’ll begin by touching base on the mechanics of what’s happening in your body when you twist with integrity, then via a controlled vinyasa practice, we’ll gradually explore the core-muscles required for non-levered twist and then begin to add some leavers, gradually getting deeper into our opening and closing twists. We’ll explore adding our new found twists to increasingly challenging balancing poses and arm balances like grasshopper, side crow, koundinyasana A and revolved bird of paradise

If there is one thing that I know breathwork is able to support us with, it’s with helping build a more resilient nervous system so that we can face life’s challenges with less reactivity and more stability. The practice offers us a space to both process and purge as well as a space to land into a more meditative, neutral and regenerative state. Life challenges are a necessary part of our personal and collective evolution and breathwork is the best medicine I know to help us prepare to meet and move through them.

We’ll begin class in circle with an introduction to the breath and an (optional) communal conversation around the theme before diving into the main ingredient, the breath. We’ll close our time together in circle in quite or open conversation.

If you’ve been to breathwork with me before, you know that, in one way or another, this practice is always and ever heartwork. As one of the 13 indigenous grandmothers says, ‘the longest path you’ll ever travel is the half meter it takes you to get from your head to your heart.’ Tending to the heart is tending to the Spirit. Tending to the Spirit can deeply transform your ability to open to and embrace love (inwardly and outwardly).  In some wisdom traditions, the back of the heart is referred to as the sea of forgiveness, so alongside exploring the quadrants, tendrils and wisdom of the heart, we’ll tap into those deep water reservoirs to explore the art of forgiveness.

We’ll begin class in circle with an introduction to the breath and an (optional) communal conversation around the theme before diving into the main ingredient, the breath. We’ll close our time together in circle in quite or open conversation.

Yin Yoga is one of my favorite ways to lean into the body’s essential elemental nature and Winter (in TCM) is governed by the Water element. This combination of Yin & Pranayama is designed to support you with replenishing your ancient, internal waters — the most nourishing and essential substance for life. While also tend to the organs of the seasons: the kidneys and bladder, which store and govern your vitality (Qi) and your essence (Jing).

My hope is that you leave this two hour class with a feeling rejuvenated, embodied and restored.

The workshop will end with a short class where you will experience how these pillars can be applied to individualize your practice and find balance.

Välkommen till en upplevelse som väcker kroppen, skärper sinnet och öppnar dörren till din inre styrka. Den här klassen är för dig som vill utforska kraften i både andetaget och kylan. 

Under trygg och närvarande guidning av Wim Hof-instruktören Johan Landahl från Coastal Yoga får du möjlighet att steg för steg omfamna kylan med lugn, fokus och mod.

Vi börjar med Wim Hof Breathwork som centrerar kroppen, bygger värme och skapar den mentala klarhet som hjälper dig att möta det kalla vattnet. Därefter går vi igenom processen inför ett kortare kallbad samt några av de effekter som kallbad kan ge både kropp och sinne.
När du känner dig grundad och redo ger vi oss tillsammans ut i det uppfriskande badet.

Observera: För att delta behöver du vara fullt frisk. Undvik klassen om du är gravid, har epilepsi, Raynauds syndrom typ 2, nyligen genomgått operation eller har kardiovaskulär sjukdom. Vid minsta tvekan — rådgör med din läkare innan du deltar.

Längtar du efter att kunna bemästra huvudståendet på ett tryggt och hållbart sätt? I denna workshop guidar Jennie och Johan Landahl från Coastal Yoga dig genom den ikoniska positionen Sirsasana, även känd som The King of Asanas.

Our brains and nervous system work together with the hormonal system, where hormones regulate all processes in the body. For us to feel good, experience calmness, and feel content in life, hormonal balance is essential! Your hormonal balance is also important for your overall well-being and for feeling vital and full of energy.

HormonyYoga is a holistic form of Medical Yoga for women. It is a gentle and meditative body–mind practice that soothes the mind, supports recovery, improves body awareness, and balances the body’s nervous- and hormonal systems. Through calm, mindful movements and breathing we also increase mobility, flexibility, and endurance. HormonyYoga is suitable for women of all ages, as our hormones shift throughout life, and the practice can easily be adapted for most people’s needs.

A calm and grounding Yin class where you settle into long, gently held postures that release tension in the hips, legs, and lower back. With a focus on breath and presence, the body softens, the mind quiets, and the nervous system unwinds. The class ends with a deep, nourishing rest that leaves you centered, steady, and grounded within yourself.

We meet in silent stillness and slowly move ourselves into flowing Samayoga movements to softly land, centered in our own body. From there we ground ourselves deeper with shakings, to support further release and relax.
Then we invite the body to move freely, as it likes and needs in the present moment. Music from all over the world, with different rhythms and vibrations will be presented as a possible inspiration. With curiousity and playfullness we explore from the inside, allowing the inner movements of the body to naturally rise and express outward. In this simple, profound and compassionate practice you will be given the opportunity to a deeper access and availability of your own life force energy.

Sensing yoga is a gentle form of yoga that suits everyone. We return to our natural way of moving, let go of performance, and listen inward. When we live in a world that wants to make us fit into various narrow frames, this class allowes you to explore the opposite. Its calm and gentle movements help you shift from a stressed state to one of peace and relaxation. Sensing yoga is a wonderful tool for releasing pain and tension. You never need to have practiced any type of yoga before to join this class.

Ett djupt återhämtande pass där vi kombinerar akupressur med gongens läkande vibrationer. Akupressur är en uråldrig teknik från kinesisk medicin där specifika energipunkter stimuleras för att främja avslappning och balans. Passet inleds med en lugn andning och en mjuk guidning genom ett urval av akupressurpunkter som hjälper kroppen att släppa på spänningar, stilla sinnet och öppna energiflödet.

Efter akupressuren får du ligga vilande medan du omsluts av gongens harmoniska ljudvågor. Gongen skapar en djup meditativ upplevelse där vibrationerna masserar kroppens celler, lugnar nervsystemet och hjälper dig att släppa tankar och inre spänningar. Många upplever en känsla av tidlöshet, klarhet och djup avspänning.

Detta är en session för dig som vill stressa ner, hitta ett inre lugn och återställa kroppens naturliga balans oavsett om du är nybörjare eller van utövare.

This class invites you into a deepening of the feminine. Blending elements of yoga, Tantra, Shamanism, Feminine Embodiment, and Taoism, the practice guides you back into your inner landscape. You are welcomed exactly as you are, with whatever is alive in you in each moment. Through breath, intuitive movement, connection, and energy work, we will journey through the theme of grounding back to yourself — returning to your body, your truth, and the quiet power of the feminine within.
