“The Iceland retreat was an awesome and unforgettable experience. The careful planning, energy, and thoughtfulness that Kathy brought to all of the yoga classes made them inclusive and empowering for all levels. The excursions went way above and beyond your usual group travel experience, and included personalized touches from a wonderful local guide, with deep connection to the spiritual and magical aspects of the land, and a lot of hidden gems an average tourist would never discover, all in a gorgeous setting. It was a perfect balance of movement, mindfulness, and adventure with a great group. I highly recommend this trip!"
Thank you thank you thank you!

"I had a truly incredible time in Iceland. I have travelled to over 50 countries, and have never seen landscapes and experienced nature in the way I could in Iceland. Ulrika, one of our lovely hosts, mentioned feeling ‘held’ by the earth in Iceland, and I completely agree. It was a really grounding and special experience. The relaxing and empowering yoga, hikes, geothermal hot springs, and outdoor meditation time fit so nicely together for the body and soul. Our hosts, Andreas and Ulrika, made us feel like part of their family, and shared with us authentic parts of Iceland’s culture throughout the trip.
Yoga with Kathy in the mornings was a relaxing and empowering way to start the day. When I met Kathy in 2020, she quickly became my favourite yoga teacher, and I look forward to when I get to flow with her. She balances the physical and mindfulness parts of yoga really well. Her classes are inclusive, she gets to know her students, and carefully plans her classes around their needs. This was my second retreat with Kathy and type of people drawn to her retreats are great groups of fellow yogis. She creates a really supportive environment for people to recharge and grow.
I would so highly recommend this retreat, and yoga with Kathy!"

Join your host and yoga teacher, Kathy Parsons, in a wellness adventure of a lifetime!
The summer season offers a lush volcanic earth that is alive and blooming. Lots of light. A backdrop that will provide a magnificent setting to explore the beauty of Northern Iceland. We’ll begin our days with an all-levels energizing vinyasa flow yoga class, then we’ll head out to immerse ourselves in nature.
This week is about experiencing the magic of Iceland first hand … we’ll ride the horses, say hello to the humpbacks that live in the fjord, wander the lava fields and soak in the volcanically heated mineral hot springs.

ABOUT ICELAND:
Iceland is one of the planet’s true gems. With a total population of only 330,000, Iceland has struck a perfect balance between a warm, welcoming culture and the raw, untamed beauty of its vast mountainous landscapes. While most tourist groups and cruise lines visit the southern capital city Reykjavik (where the majority of population is), we’ll be heading to 66°North Iceland to the town of Akureyri–one of Iceland’s best kept secrets.The cultural capital of Iceland, Akureyri has been voted the number one destination in all of Europe by Lonely Planet on more than one occasion. With a population of only 18,000, a mild climate on the longest fjord in the country, and close proximity to the Arctic Circle (meaning amazing Northern Lights!), Northern Iceland is truly THE place to visit.
