The theme this time is "Sea, Gong & ManaYoga in Lucia" and we do functional medicine yoga sessions consisting of breathing training,  relaxation, gentle movements and meditation that everyone can participate in.  The yoga sessions and meditations strengthen us in the winter and transform us  any tensions to an energy that creates flow, calm and  creativity that stays long after this retreat. Yoga is simple, soft  and comfortable. We practice and learn many yogic tools such as research  shows clear and measurable effects on stress levels, blood pressure,  hormone balance, pain etc.

We listen to a lecture with gong masters  Mattias Sundman on sound therapy and the beneficial effects of gong. During  the weekend you are also allowed to participate in two gong relaxations where you  resting on yoga mats and letting sound waves wash through the body to  found, balance and release tensions. Mattias also talks about his  travel from having a job in IT to moving full-time to giving  people an increased calm with the help of the gong instrument.

During these three days there is plenty of opportunity for  own time, rest, walks and recovery. During the retreat you can swim  in  the sea after warming up in the newly built large sauna with  magnificent views. During these days we will also have complete  silence for a number of hours to deepen the presence in ourselves.  We are served high quality homemade vegetarian food (free from milk, gluten  and sugar). It is also possible to book wonderful massage treatments  in place.
