A YOGA RETREAT IN NORTHERN ICELAND!
MAY 22 - 29, 2021
COVID19 update (December, 2020) – we are very optimistic about the timing of this retreat! Iceland plans to re-open to tourism in April or early May, 2021, and will have in place simple safety requirements for all tourists entering the country. We anticipate that this will be either proof of vaccine, or a Covid19 test prior to flying and a rapid test upon entering (currently just $65). Iceland will be providing vaccines to its residents and anticipates 80% will have received the vaccine by April, so this is all good news!
Still, we understand hesitation to make plans now for travel in 2021, so we are adding an extra benefit to encourage you. For new reservations / deposits received after December 1st, 2020 – your deposit and any payments made after are fully transferrable to an alternate retreat of your choice if you decide not to travel, as long as we receive a minimum of 45 days notice. (April 7th, 2021). In the unexpected case that travel becomes restricted again forcing OYG to reschedule the retreat, we will offer a transfer of those dollars to the rescheduled retreat or a refund.

The spring season offers a lush volcanic earth that is alive and blooming. The sheep and horses are having babies and the skies are filled with light. 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.
