Ananda Mandala Retreats

A retreat enables you to recharge both physically and psychically. Through yoga and meditation, the senses are sharpened and, after the retreat, you will return home with greater clarity and energy.

Apart from the intensive practise of yoga and meditation, there is plenty of time for other activities, such as horseback riding in the forest on our Norwegian Fjord horses, swimming or canoe paddling on the lake, going into the sauna, going for a walk or just to lazy in the hammock at the waterside. Sometimes we go for a ride with the horse wagon or the sledge.

At the longer retreats we also have a daily period of 1 to 1½ hours of Karma Yoga. Karma Yoga is practical work - for example to help preparing the food, to clean, to work in the garden or with the horses. Here we are following the old tradition where, after yoga and meditation, you engage in practical work in order to transform the energy into daily life.

A course day can look like this:

7.00 am Morning yoga class - 8.30 am Light breakfast - Karma Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Ajapa Jap meditation - 12.30 am Lunch - Time for individual activities - 4.30 pm Afternoon yoga class and the meditation Inner Silence - 6.00 pm Dinner - 8.00 pm Evening program with dance and music, lectures, deeksha or meditation.

The Ananda Mandala retreats hold groups of max. 20 participants. The teaching can therefore include a greater deal of individual advice and guidance. The longer retreats are most often international, and the teaching will then be held in English.

The course fees include teaching, food and accommodation.
