About this selection
Norway's Lofoten Islands — jagged Arctic peaks rising from the sea, midnight sun, and fishing-village calm — offer one of Europe's most dramatic retreat settings. Lofoten has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. April falls outside Lofoten's peak yoga season, which runs June, July, August. That said, retreats run year-round and the off-season offers genuine advantages: lower prices, smaller groups, and a quieter environment that some practitioners actively prefer. The practice itself is unchanged.
