Yoga & hike - Autumn retreat in Iceland

Autumn in Iceland awakens the senses: golden landscapes, crisp air, and the gentle sweetness of ripe berries. The season reveals nature at its most vibrant, with rich colors and quiet energy just before winter settles in.

As the migratory birds and most visitors leave the island, a deeper calm takes over. Yet Iceland remains full of life: berries and mushrooms are in season, the scenery glows with color, and horses and sheep are gathered down from the mountains into the valleys in impressive herds. It is a wonderful time to experience Icelandic life from the inside.

Yoga is taught for 2 to 3 hours each day by the renowned teacher Ulrica Seiler. Sessions take place both indoors and outdoors, surrounded by nature. If the weather is unfavorable, an indoor alternative is available.

Walks are designed to explore the diverse landscapes of northern Iceland. They last between 1.5 and 3 hours and are technically easy. A qualified guide accompanies each excursion.

You will spend the week in our Pearl of the North apartments in Akureyri, enjoying a high level of comfort. Guests have access to the hot tub. Each apartment includes 2 or 3 bedrooms and accommodates 3 to 5 participants. Bathrooms are shared, and each apartment also offers a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with TV and Netflix, laundry facilities, and more. Double rooms and single rooms are available if offered. A paid upgrade to a private bathroom can be requested, and this applies only to participants sharing a room.

Transportation is provided throughout the week from the moment you arrive in Akureyri. Pick-up is available from the bus station or Akureyri Airport, with transport between the apartment and the yoga studio, as well as for all excursions. Pick-up begins on arrival day at 15:30 for the Straeto bus, continues at the local airport at 16:30 for the ideal arrival time, then at 18:30 for the Highland bus from SBA, and the final pick-up is at 20:20 at the airport.
