Embracing Transitions: Flowing Through Change
|
Both yoga and life are full of transitions, and sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is pause, reflect and take them in. This retreat is designed to support us in embracing those moments of change - both on and off the mat. Join us for a transformative weekend that blends dynamic movement, deep stillness and interactive coaching workshops, as we connect with the art of transitioning mindfully. Each practice will be a chance to explore how we move through change - sometimes with ease, sometimes with resistance. But always with the possibility of reflection and growth. We will blend dynamic Vinyasa classes with Elina, that combine energy, fun and playfulness and help us find strength in fluidity. With Ronit’s Yin practice, we will slow down and open our bodies and hearts and create space for deep release and flexibility. And as the evening comes, we will close with Yoga Nidra, bringing stillness to our hearts and our minds. This retreat is for anyone navigating change, whether big or small. It is an opportunity to explore your practice with curiosity, awareness and ease. Come reflect, move, and create space for new beginnings. The retreat is both in English and Norwegian. |

Hello, I’m Elina and my experience - both personal and professional - has always revolved around people, connection, and the art of holding space. For over 20 years, I’ve worked across psychology, wellbeing, yoga, and mindfulness, helping others navigate the balance between movement and stillness, ambition and rest, mind and heart. As a yoga and meditation teacher, my teaching style is lighthearted and nurturing, always with a touch of humour - because I believe we learn best when we feel at ease. With over 600+ RYT training and 10+ years teaching in Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative Yoga, Hot Yoga, and Yin Yoga. I also love combining creative concepts like Kids Yoga, Kids Yoga For Adults and Inside Flow. My background as a certified massage therapist and aromatherapy specialist helps me to create some magic in savasana. I work as a certified Health and Wellbeing Coach (NHS UK) specialising in emotional intelligence and work-life balance. I work with groups and individuals to identify emotions and beliefs. |

Hi, my name is Ronit - an experienced yoga instructor, Gestalt coach, and an education specialist with a background in the international aid sector and in refugee education. I combine my teaching with my background in coaching, exploring the various teaching styles and pedagogical methods as we continuously learn, explore and grow together. A life without yoga is hard to imagine. When I first stepped onto the mat nearly 15 years ago, I had no idea what kind of journey I was beginning. Over the years, I’ve deepened my practice and completed certifications in Vinyasa Flow (Yoga Union, 200h), Yin Yoga (Arhanta Yoga), and Mindful Restorative Yoga Therapy, along with additional training. And yet, yoga continues to be an endless path of learning and self-discovery. Read more about Ronit. For me, yoga is not just about movement—it is about listening, connecting to what evolves in the moment and finding space to grow. I love creating spaces where we can explore what emerges using breath and awareness as our guides. |
