The info below is from the retreat 2021. This year will most likely look similar. We’ll update any changes closer to summer.

Taken care of by experienced teachers and loving staff, you will definitely unwind, feel fresh and healthy and learn more about yoga. ” If you’ve never taken a Samayoga class or retreat with Sky, then this will be a welcome gift.  “He sensed my needs and delivered just what I wanted” is a common feeling among Sky’s students.  Samayoga is a wonderful middle way and closest to Hatha yoga flow style, that offers clear guidance through all aspects of yoga and each session is tailored to meet the students where they are at.  Some classes will be primarily focused on relaxation poses withspecial guidance on how to feel and release holding patterns.  Other classes will be more invigorating and challenging, but with Sky’s help it can be highly enjoyable, flow easily and very accessible to all levels of experience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_media_grid element_width=”2″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1632922719190-25ec372a-de7a-7″ include=”4385,4386,4387,4383,4380,6464″][vc_media_grid element_width=”2″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1632922719192-df2c14ee-375e-1″ include=”5175,5173,5170,5171,5172,6460,6461″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1525072952232{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

“What a glorious week full of relaxing yet deeply working yoga sessions, forest walks, swimming in the lake, laughing, singing and smiling. A beautiful group led by a sincere and inspiring teacher – combined with the perfect location to enjoy nature and delicious food. I felt nourished in every way afterwards! Thank you.”

“En fantastisk vacker och avslappnad vecka på en vacker plats med sjön och skogen. Den goda nyttiga maten och de fina mötena. En fantastisk yoga som Sky leder oss genom mantran och asanas med stor värme, kärlek och med en stor humor. Sanna som ger från hjärtat och delar sin stora passion och kunskap i Vedantan. Jag kan varmt rekommendera alla att deltaga på detta fantastiska event. Längtar till nästa år. I will be back”

“I am truly hooked on Sky. Not for his unique and very balanced yoga. Not for his way to get a group of people that dont know each other to show so much love and compassion. Not for his wisdom, not for his playful and funny way of expressing things and not for getting people to find the best in them selves. I am hooked on him because he knows how to do it all.”

“När jag summerar mitt år 2016 Då är Yoga veckan med Sky och Sanna på Borntorpet ett av de absolut härligaste av minnen. Veckan var full av Kärlek och Närvaro. Härliga Yoga pass varvat med meditationer och härliga skogspromenader. Lek och improvisation. Jag har inte skrattat så mycket på väldigt länge som jag gjorde under denna veckan. Hela mitt hjärta min kropp och min själ fick bli ordentligt påfylld av all härlig Kärlek. Underbart boende, fantastisk mat som var både vacker, god och nyttig. Härliga morgon och kvällsbad i den vackra sjön ibland även bastubad. Sky och Sanna är verkligen ett helt underbart par som får mig att verkligen få kontakt med mitt innersta hjärta. Jag kommer tillbaks till sommaren!”

“Sky’s classes were beautiful and deep. He gave the space to everyone to just be themselves and I think that is his greatest strength. I felt I can just be totally me, no need to be different. I am fine the way I am. WOW. What a teaching!” /Teacher training student, 2015
