Vivie has been my yoga teacher for a few years now, and when she told me about the yoga retreat in Iceland, I immediately said yes! It was my first yoga retreat, and it turned out to be an amazing journey and a truly wholesome experience. Starting each day with yoga and breathwork left me feeling so energized! Even in just one week, I noticed a transformation in my body: my posture and yoga poses improved, I could stretch my back more deeply, my hips became more flexible, and I no longer had lower back pain.
Each session was thoughtfully planned and varied, with a balance of vinyasa and yin yoga, chanting, and even some playful time to try out more challenging poses. We also practiced a silent morning and did some journaling, which I enjoyed immensely. One of the most unexpected benefits for me was how powerful the chanting was for my mental state.
There is so much I’ll be taking with me into my everyday practice. Thank you, Vivie!
