Sometimes a week away from your everyday surroundings works wonders. It can put you in touch with who you are, and what you want from your life and provide insights, inspiration, and support to start moving things in a fresh direction. The week at Marika's arts and wellness center allows you to explore your passions and connect to your purpose while enjoying a most pleasurable time with blissful yoga, delicious wholesome meals, luxurious massages, breath walks, and soothing meditations.
Guests will be housed in the former storehouse, which has four chambers with one, two, four, and five beds. There is also one room with a double bed in the studio building, where yoga classes take place. An additional bedroom with a double bed is located in the loft of the dining house.
This will begin with lunch on August 10 and end with breakfast on August 16.
Kundalini yoga is based on Yogi Bhajan’s teachings. A dynamic form of yoga, combining postures, stretching, movement, meditation, breathing, and chanting, it stimulates the glands, strengthens the nervous system, opens meridians, and balances chakras.
The practice of Kundalini yoga brings with it a sense of well-being that is immediately tangible. After a yoga session, one feels grounded, energized and uplifted. It helps to relax the body and calm the mind, increasing your capacity for concentration, creativity, and intuition. Ultimately, it brings you to a deeper understanding of your potential and yourself and allows for a harmonious merging of body, mind, and soul with the universal energy surrounding you.
You are invited to delve in and immerse yourself into a holistic way of being and living, where body, mind and spirit are integrated and deeply cared for.
This ancient practice is a stimulating workout for your body, mind, and spirit. In the morning, yoga is followed by an hour of chanting to clear your subconscious mind of negativity, of thoughts that hold you back or cast a shadow on your divine inner being.
A safe and easy workout that keeps your body and heart fit while increasing oxygen levels in your blood, helping to fire up your metabolism and optimize calorie-burning capacity while at the same time clearing your mind and expanding your awareness of the here and now.
At the end of the day ground yourself and calm your mind in preparation for a restful and deep sleep.
On August 13, there will be a day trip to Kihnu Island where we will explore its rich cultural heritage still alive today.
This summer, you will visit Kihnu, a small island in the Baltic Sea, home to a close-knit community of about 700 inhabitants, who value their cultural traditions in clothing, language, music, and handicrafts.
In 2003 Kihnu culture was recognized as a UNESCO Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
Throughout the centuries, the men of Kihnu have spent most of their time at sea, while the women have run the island and become the keepers of their cultural heritage. To this day, the women wear traditional, handwoven striped skirts and colorful printed blouses. Kihnu has been featured in the New York Times.
