Epic Iceland: Yoga + Adventure in a Magical Land!

One of the most magical yoga adventure retreats you will ever go on!
 

 


This is our 3rd annual Iceland yoga retreat and we are extremely excited to go back to this magical land! Here's some details below, however CLICK HERE to get the FULL scoop and to register!!!

Who is this trip for?
This trip is designed for people with all levels of yoga and adventure experience. Men, women, couples, best friends, old friends and soon to be new friends. Our goal is to connect as deeply as possible to nature and to the cultural core of this beautiful place. I mean, how often do you get to go to Iceland with a group of people that are passionate about such similar things?! This means we’ll be outside as much as possible, hiking to hot springs, walking in mossy fields, following rivers to see where they take us, climbing glaciers etc. Nothing we do is mandatory but everything we have planned is irresistible. This is not a “luxury yoga retreat” by any means, that’s not why we go to Iceland, yet don’t be surprised if you fall in love with all of the charming places we stay, or the healthy food we work hard to find in a country where the usual organic fair is a bit more sparse.


Includes 

8 nights accomodation in 3 amazing locations
Daily yoga sessions with Aarona
Visit to the Blue Lagoon  
Hot Springs and Epic Nature Visits
Glacier Hike
Transportation  
1-3 meals daily (excluding alcohol)
*only breakfast in Reykjavik, all meals everywhere else


    Optional

    Biking, spa treatments, Golden Circle tour, whale watching, cave tours, snorkeling/diving


    LEARN MORE: RATES range according to room and start as low as $2,295!

    $500 non-refundable deposit required to ensure your spot.


    Our Iceland yoga adventure was featured in National Geographic Traveller...CLICK HERE to find out why!

     


    Itinerary/Accommodation

    Our trip will include daily yoga practice, meditation, hot spring soaks, hikes and more. We’ve also made room for plenty of free time and optional trips. Each day will be a little different as we are truly traveling and exploring this beautiful country. So be ready and open for random magic to unfold and to surrender to the flow of the freedom that can be found when traveling on new land! We are working with the best hotels and locations in Iceland to give you 3 different experiences, a fun hotel on a farm in the south, a cozy bed and breakfast in the center of Reykjavik and a world renowned eco-lodge on the magical Snaefellsnes Peninsula.


    This is not a trip you want to miss. Top of the list for yoga adventures BY FAR.

    Yoga in the Midnight Sun!!!

     Yoga Adventure in ICELAND!
     June 25-July 3, 2011

    SOLD OUT!!!

      with Aarona Pichinson and Ben Crosky of SolYoga Trips
    a yoga adventure under the midnight sun with 22 hours of daylight, exploring hot springs, glaciers, greenlands, puffiins, caves, community, & magic!



     

    Why Iceland? 

    No experience can remind a traveler of the living vibrations of this planet (and those of the bodies moving through our sky above) quite like 8 days spent practicing yoga in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Imagine a young earth. Travel to geysir in Iceland to feel the heat steaming off just-cooled igneous rock, and approach the passage of time from a completely different perspective.  Go to the Blue Lagoon hot springs, simmering outdoor cauldrons on Iceland’s southwest coast, and feel the geothermal power lurking beneath the rock underfoot – a planetary vibrancy that is part of Iceland’s mystery. Come bedtime, and you may not feel yourself tiring during your journey to this dynamic island, daylight will stretch for a full twenty-two hours or more. You’ll experience such sustained wakefulness as to re-work your conceptions of a human being’s natural rhythms. In the Land of the Midnight Sun, be reminded that we maintain intimate relationships with our natural environment.

    Along this constant pathway of discovery, hone your practice in concordance with the phases of the moon. Imagine a yogic approach that embraces a more complete awareness of our own human cycles, the grander rhythms of earth and sky that surround us, and a new discovery of our place within them.


    Includes

    • Visit to Blue Lagoon
    • All yoga sessions with Aarona
    • Cave Exploration
    • Glacier Hike
    • Hot Spring Hopping
    • Local guides for tours
    • Transportation
    • Accommodation
    • 2-3 meals daily and drinks

    Testimonials

    "I loooove your classes, not just because they are so creative and beautiful and challenging and always make me want to ASPIRE, but there is something about you and the vibe you give off.  I am a better, more generous person because of your teaching. Thank you!    " - Cybele Fishman
    "I work in a pretty intense environment and your classes really help me to decompress and get rid of stress from the day. I like the intensity, the pace, that it's different every time I go, and the music you play is great! I also have a ton of energy after your class and I'm usually exhausted after work so that is huge for me." - Alisa Margulies
    "Aarona's yoga classes are an original, deep, powerful, ever-changing escape from the ordinary. I' m always surprised, challenged and never get bored!" - Jared Hendler
    "Aarona, I'm a new yoga teacher and what I most get from allowing you and yoga into my life is that we are all one in the universe and that we can all learn from each other and grow. I also enjoy reading your newsletter - very informative and inspiring!" - Michelle Mattern
    "Aarona's classes offer inspiring instruction and presence, unique sequencing, and great music!" - Danielle Dugan
    "I feel more energized, focused and overall balanced. The weight loss is 'just' an added value. The 'lifestyle program' is one of the best investments in myself I have ever made. It is not a diet but a meaningful way of life by understanding food and nutrition, my body and its needs and by using food to my body's benefit rather then its demise.    " - Nic Steinberg
    "Aarona represents freedom and love!" - Julie Dhorman
    "I've been practicing with Aarona since 2007. She's consistently one of my favorite teachers. With many great qualities, what stands out most is her dedication to & passion for yoga & her lifestyle. She's truly living her bliss. It's refreshing to see, inspiring to be around & encourages me with my own passions. I will continue to be one of her students for a long time." - Ken Knowlton
    "Thank you for today's class. I had discomfort in my upper back (unusual for me!) and now the pain is gone and my spirit is in sync with the peace my body is feeling. Thanks for the way you make me feel after class. Your teaching always stays with me. You encourage us and motivate us. Yet you are so patient and kind, always with a smile. I truly appreciate all that you give to us." - Jackie Burt
    "Great class tonight, you are such an amazing teacher. I really appreciate the creativity & intelligence you put into each class to make it unique & help me to realize a different way to flow, different challenges, different pleasures, differents sensations, different insights, every time! I left class floating with joy. Thank you thank you!!!" - Hikari Yokoyama
    "Aarona's work has been educational and accessible. Numerous students have come to us with positive feedback and reports of changes they've made to their lifestyle/diet/yoga practice as a result of their work with Aarona. Her passion and experience combines with her knowledge to yield a great force of healing." - Elena Brower
    "My life has opened so beautifully since working in this program with Aarona. I 've gained new insight into both my physical and emotional health. I've learned to listen to my body's needs how to use the tools that bring me into balance. This program offers a practice about nurturing and healing the self as it naturally forms into lifestyle habits." - Susan Cianciolo
    "Aarona’s classes give you a strong, powerful workout. Her adjustments are great and the feeling of her class is blissful and sensual. She teaches you to breathe deeply, bringing you to a calm, meditative mind while doing a super sweaty workout.
