In an everyday life that is often characterized by stress and must, a need is awakened to unwind and find inner peace and quiet. The vision of Äspögården is an concept where, in a beautiful environment, offer the opportunity for recovery and reflection. For us, it is important to attend to both spirit, body and soul. Therefore we serve a healthy and tasty vegetarian/vegan diet, prepared with loving care.
At the CrossYoga retreat, you get the opportunity to practice different types of yoga. You can come as s beginner or as an experienced yoga practitioner. The yoga sessions are interspersed with reflection time /private time. At the retreat, Rie Frilund Skårhøj, Danmark, will teach Christian yoga and she teaches with respect for anyone who may have a different outlook on life than a Christian one. So, feel welcome regardless of faith or belief. The yoga sessions are held in English and all nationalities are welcome!
To give the opportunity to focus on recovery and reflection we offer a silent retreat, except for the group reflection on Saturday. See the program for more details.
