Inspiration Iceland

This retreat combined yoga, hiking, and sightseeing together wonderfully. The meals included were really special….great food mostly in places you would not get to experience on your own. The accommodations were comfortable and the bus we were transported in was great. Andreas is a knowledgeable guide as well…really explaining Iceland….its land, its society, what it means to be an Icelander. But the best thing? The people. Yoga with Ulrica, hiking and nature experiences with Andreas, and the connections with the other yogi/hikers that happened so easily and quickly in this beautiful place.

The planning and execution of our daily activities was wonderful . I feel that I was really able to appreciate the essence of Iceland in the few days we were there . Everything ran very smoothly and we spent just the right amount of time hiking, doing yoga, and sight seeing.

I loved everything about this retreat. The yoga, the hiking, the different locations we visited, the food , the passion and knowledge of the guide and yoga instructor and Iceland overall.

Ich bin überwältigt von der Wahrhaftigkeit, mit der uns Yoga gelehrt wurde. So durchdringt die yogische Haltung nicht nur unsere Yogasequenzen, sondern jeden Schritt, den wir auf dieser unglaublich kraftvollen Insel machen dürfen. Achtsamkeit, Präsenz im Jetzt, liebevolles Öffnen Land und Leuten gegenüber. Magie wird spürbar bei jedem Schritt. Und dies mit großer Authentizität. Ich bin unendlich dankbar für die tollen Elebnisse, für all die Freundlichkeit und Professionalität von Ulrica und Andreas, die meinen Islandurlaub perfekt gemacht haben. Ich kann ihn aus tiefstem Herzen empfehlen, auch wenn all diese Worte nicht ausreichen, um ihn zu beschreiben.

Ulrica and Andreas pour their hearts and souls into making this experience magical, full, and once-in-a-lifetime. They are kind, compassionate, and full of life. The hikes and excursions far exceeded my expectations!

I loved every part of this amazing journey! Andreas and ulricha are so loving and kind and they do they can to make our experience unforgettable! And it is definetely an experience I won’t forget. Thank you for this deep transformational week together

I enjoyed the group, the leaders, the excursions, the places we were taken for food, and especially the nature was incredible. We got to do so much in the week we were there and really get to know the culture and experience the of the beautiful country. The yoga center was absolutely beautiful. The leaders were very supportive and knowledgeable about the land and culture and very passionate about their calling to share their love with others. The living accommodation was wonderful and very close to the town in case anyone wanted to walk in. We were driven around to the excursions in a beautiful safe van and we got to do beyond what I would have imagined. I am considering taking the tour in the summer too to see how beautiful everything is at that time and to experience this beautiful country in another season. I’m so glad to have embarked upon this experience and I do recommend it.

Amazing experience of a lifetime . So much nature and authentic Icelandic experiences planned that I would have never been able to see or have on my own. Definitely challenging hikes I didn’t expect that pushed my body to places I didn’t know I could go. This was a spiritual and breathtaking retreat and the food in amazing restaurants catered to the group were indescribable . Food was delicious, people were I credible and this will stand out as an adventure I will always remember.

Tout.

Un séjour hors du temps organisé par deux passionnés du pays qui transmettent leur positivité et parviennent à créer une émulsion de groupe. Je n'avais pas d'attente spéciale quant à ce séjour, juste faire du yoga et découvrir un peu de l'Islande. J'ai eu bien plus que cela et le prix que je trouvais un peu élevé est complètement justifié par la qualité des activités et de l'accompagnement des participants.

We hiked. We did yoga. We did yoga in nature, visited wonderful places, ate great food, sat in hot springs, dipped in the sea, and made new friends from all over the world. Ulrica and Andreas created an experience through which we were immersed in the beauty and magic of Iceland. Loved every minute of it!

This was a great retreat, you can tell there was a lot of thought put into the structure and layout of the program and that they have taken previous feedback and made changes to provide an even better experience. Andreas and Ulrika were very welcoming with great energy; such fantastic hosts. The yoga was accessible to all levels and the yoga center was beautiful. I loved doing yoga in nature, on top a mountain, in a valley, on a black sand beach. The places we visited were beautiful and I thought the hikes were well selected for a group of varied experience levels. The selected restaurants were delicious and unique locations that I wouldn't have stumbled upon myself. I loved going in the fall but would love to go back in the winter and go dog sledding and have a better chance of seeing the northern lights. I definitely recommend this retreat!

Andreas was an amazing tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and very informative. The excursions were unreal! Amazing spots to hike and explore. I felt like we went to places that I would not have found if I was just venturing out on my own. This was also true about the delicious meals. It was a truly special experience that really explored all of Akureyri and the surrounding area. This was my fourth visit to Iceland and I would highly recommend this trip!

Everything! Ulrica and Andreas are wonderful hosts, yoga teacher and guide and this was the perfect combination to unwind, have time for myself, do yoga and get to know this beautiful country! Really: you will visit, see and hear things tourist don’t get to! I’d go back a thousand times!

Thank you for this amazing experience! Love, Melissa (Michelle ;) )

Mon séjour en Islande s'est avéré magique.

L'accueil d'Andreas et Ulrica était sensible, ouvert et extrêmement généreux.

Nous étions un tout petit groupe s'étant soudé très rapidement.

Les installations étaient irréprochables, la qualité des tours guidés en nature fantastiques.

Spirituel, magique et inoubliable!

Icelandic Adventures!!!

This retreat by far exceeded my expectations. Andreas, Ulrika and their team had so much energy and enthusiasm in introducing us and welcoming us to Iceland! The yoga classes were varied and I enjoyed the morning routine which set us up for the day. The options for daily excursions and activities including husky dog sledding, spa days, exploring and hiking the local sites and the food were all wonderful! We had a great group and I was very sad to leave...but this trip has definitely made me want to come back to Iceland very soon! Thank you for an amazing week:)

Loved the area and the people who participated

Eine tolle Woche mit vielen Highlights. Das Programm war super, diesen Retreat werde ich nicht mehr vergessen - eine wunderschöne Erfahrung. Ein grosses Dankeschön an Ulrica und Andreas.

The group leaders were very friendly and welcoming. The yoga room was enviable and scenery spectacular.
