Arctic Yoga – The New Trend

The brainchild of Arctic wellness outfit Active North, based up in Swedish Lapland, Ice Yoga is inspired by Virya Yoga Level 1, says their website. Yoga on Ice, is a five-hour experience and the session lasts for 30- 45 min, depending on the weather conditions. It’s all about breathing fresh air and enjoying the nature around you, for your own well-being and is followed by a wood fire! Ice yoga is performed on reindeer fur ‘mats’ to protect from the cold.

There is a choice of four-day Arctic Winter Yoga retreats run by Active North across three locations: Munkviken, Aurora Safari Camp, and Byske.
