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. July is one of Lofoten's best months for retreat — Nordland's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in July tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
