Yoga Retreat – Finse 1222 9–11 October 2026
Updated: Aug 12
Escape to the mountains and experience the calm of Finse through a weekend designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.
Over the weekend, I will guide you through nourishing yoga practices that combine gentle flowing movement, breathwork, mobility, deep stretching, and restorative stillness. Inspired by the surrounding landscape, each class is designed to leave you feeling stronger, calmer, and more present.
Rebecca has taught yoga and meditation for almost a decade and is known for her warm, relaxed teaching style that welcomes everybody, whether you're completely new to yoga or have been practising for years. Her philosophy is simple: movement is medicine, less is more, and yoga should leave you feeling better than when you arrived.
Between classes, you'll have time to enjoy Finse's spectacular mountain scenery, fresh air, delicious food, and the unique peace that only this extraordinary place can offer.
Come exactly as you are, and leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and restored
