Service Description
We warmly invite both members and non-members who will be in Oslo this Christmas to join our Christmas Retreat. Over two rejuvenating days, we will come together in a safe and welcoming space to cultivate presence and self-care. Christmas is often a time of heightened emotions and traditions, and at Leela Gamlebyen, we aim to provide a peaceful, inclusive environment where you can unwind and be yourself. Our retreat offers a rich program featuring meditation, breathwork, Vinyasa yoga, a yoga lab/workshop to explore various postures and philosophical perspectives, shared meals, and an optional sauna with essential oils. Each day ends with restorative or yin, and yoga Nidra for deep relaxation. On Day 1, you’ll be guided into restful tranquility with Synnøve’s “Sanctuary of Rest,” while on Day 2, Taj Hultmark will lead you through yin and Nidra to complete your retreat experience. Price: • 1999 NOK for Leela Gamlebyen members • 2150 NOK for non-members If you only wish to attend the restorative sessions, you can register for these directly on the event page. All participants in the Christmas retreat will also receive free entry to our “New Year’s Celebration with Yin” ceremony on Monday, December 30th.
