Asgaard Yoga Retreats
Yoga – Vitality – Regeneration
Welcome to Asgaard Yoga Retreats!
Asgaard Yoga Retreats are 3½ day extended weekend retreats. The retreats are designed to regenerate and balance your entire being through yoga, meditative breathing exercises and deep yogic relaxation.
The retreats are for those who have a sincere desire to immerse themselves in yoga and are interested in personal development, increased quality of life and inner transformation.
Our retreats are held in groups of 5-10 participants, which provide space for each individual participant and a unique feeling of togetherness.
The teaching starts from scratch. You don’t need any prior client relationships or special physical fitness.
What makes Asgaard Yoga Retreats special?
1. Integrates the ancient wisdom of the East and modern Western science
The teaching is based on NATHA’s esoteric integral yoga system, which has been developed on the basis of the classical yoga tradition, and which at the same time integrates the latest science-based methods, research and insights from the modern field of knowledge.
The lectures deal with profound yogic insight into our physical, energetic & psychomental structure and how we work with it in the exercises of the retreat.
2. Designed for maximum relaxation, regeneration and recharging
At the retreat, the effects of the yoga practice will be enhanced by delicious vegan food, walks in nature, hot wilderness baths and massages, and opting out of alcohol, coffee & smoking.
The peaceful & aesthetic surroundings, far from the noise of the city, contribute to a welcome respite and space for inner contemplation.
3. Competent teachers
Our teachers are all certified yoga teachers on the 3-year yoga teacher training under AIFYM (Atman International Federation of Yoga and Meditation), specializing in both shorter and longer retreats.

Holistic Health & Well-Being
Our retreats are held in Asgaard Hus, which is located idyllic in the outskirts of the charming old village of St. Torøje, located among wide fields in the fantastic Stevn landscape.
In Norse mythology, Asgaard is the kingdom of the gods, and Asgaard House’s vision is to create heaven on earth for all those who come to visit.
Food
We will enjoy wonderful vegan food, made with love by Asgaard’s own chef. The food spoils both the taste buds and the physical well-being. Lots of wonderful seasonal veggies play the central role in the daily menu.
Accommodation
Asgaard House offers 7 charming and unique rooms, tastefully decorated in Nordic design with a warm touch of bohemian style. Each room is named after Norse mythology.
You have the option of staying in a single room, shared double room or alone in a double room.
All rooms have beautifully decorated shared bathrooms.
Nature
The breathtaking Stevns field landscape surrounds Asgaard Hus, and Vemmetofte beach, forest and monastery garden are only a few kilometers away – easily visited both on foot, with a run or by bike. We will have bicycles to borrow on-site.
During the retreat, we go on a scenic hike along the Trampesti along Stevns Klint (part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site) and visit Boesdal Lighthouse.
