Northern Lights 

The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis are discharged particles from the sun that pass through the magnetic shield of earth and create light when they mix with atoms and molecules such as nitrogen and oxygen gases on entering into the earth’s atmosphere. These particles travel through space towards planet earth being drawn towards the earth’s magnetic north and south polar regions. During periods of strong solar flares the light becomes extremely dynamic producing swirls and flash patterns throughout the sky. The colours merge and flash from greens, reds, yellows and violets.

The Aurora Borealis is one of the most incredible natural phenomenon’s you will ever witness and we will be with you every step of the way.

Suitable from beginners to intermediate, we focus on yoga physical postures for well-being, strength, flexibility and relaxation, aimed to be challenging yet suitable for your individual fitness level. The yoga classes are just over an hour twice a day and are designed to be suitable for your fitness level. Tutors are experienced with offering adaptations or progressions to suit individual levels. In the morning we engage in a dynamic “wake up” class, whereas the late afternoon session are more centered on quietening postures, breathwork and relaxation.
