Program
Start your day with Pranayama (breathwork) and Vinyasa (flow yoga) in the morning and prepare to go short hiking or sightseeing after breakfast. You will have various activities each day and it will depend on the weather, physical conditions, and personal preferences. Sightseeing at the Norwegian scenic area, immersed in surrounding mountains with a stunning view over the valley.
Vivian will share two traditional Chinese dumplings recipes that will make the best homemade dumplings and are surprisingly easy, and just a little time-consuming. You will learn PNF stretching that is designed to relax muscles and increase tone or activity.
Yin yoga will be practiced in the evening, to soften the muscle and help regulate the flow of energy in the body, as a good recovery in the middle of the itinerary. Restorative yoga involves only five or six poses, supported by props that allow you to completely relax and rest after a long day of travel.
Included excursions
- Kniven viewpoint sightseeing
- Godøya lighthouse sightseeing
- Bird Island walking and sightseeing
