ASHTANGA YOGA CITY RETREAT - Kickoff 2026

The weekend of January 10-11th 2026, we invite you to a city-retreat at our shala in Malmö, Värnhem For two whole days, we practice yoga together, go through some basic principles of Ashtanga yoga such as breath technique and bandha application; vinyasa (coordinated breathing and movement); explore mobility and strength through physical exercises and drills followed by slowing down with yin yoga, meditation and mindfulness. At lunch time, we have brown bag lunch together with Q&A where the teachers answer your questions (bring your lunch and prepared questions). Let's start 2026 as a community and lay a good foundation for the coming year.
The weekend is open to all levels of practitioners but requires some foundational experience of Ashtanga yoga (beginners are expected to have taken a beginner’s course and be familiar with sun salutations as well as the standing sequence in Ashtanga yoga). It is possible to participate on one or both days. The full program description is below. If you have any questions, you are welcome to email us.
