Husky & Yoga Nature Retreat, Finnish Lapland


Yoga in Lapland? Ánd huskies too? This place is perfect! Our bohemian wanderer Kelly found this hidden gem in Lapland and we’re dazzled! Conveniently close to Rovaniemi, the biggest city in the area, yet far enough from the hustle and bustle, lies the old country house from which Husky & Yoga Nature caters to the needs of outdoor enthusiasts.

The retreat has a yoga hall where Aksana provides yoga lessons. To truly reconnect with yourself and nature, Aksana also organises yoga hikes and multiple day retreats, giving you the opportunity to hike deeper into the wilderness and practice yoga during the day. The sauna is always open to warm those muscles up.

Also: in winter time you can ride the sleigh with your husky dog team or go for a snowshoe walk or cross-country skiing. During the long summer days there’s canoeing trips, swimming in the lake, husky treks, forest bathing and picking wild herbs and berries. READ MORE ➳
