Welcome to our wilderness yoga retreat in Finnish Lapland!

The retreat is led by long-time Ashtanga yogis Pia Wichmann (doctor, psychotherapist) and Marja Köngäs (owner of Aakenuspirtti) who both are experienced yoga teachers. The retreat is also suitable for beginners and gives an opportunity to focus on rest, recovery and healing for those who feel burnt out.

In addition to gentle Ashtanga yoga and other yogic exercises adapted to indvidual needs, we will learn about wild herbs and get tools for well-being in everyday life. We will have traditional Finnish sauna every day and take a refreshing dip in the Aakenus River, and go for a day trek to the nearby Aakenus Fell. Healthy vegetarian food is served 3 times a day, made mainly from local ingredients.

The retreat will be held in atmospheric lumberjack cabins at Aakenuspirtti in Kittilä. Check out Instagram:
