After the dogsledding & time spent with our huskies, we are going to soak in our SPA and relax in our swinging SPA lounges.
Tuesday: Yoga in the mountains of the Trolls
We start the day with a yoga sequence and then we drive to the most beautiful valleys in the North: the Svarfaðadalur. We drive far into this world of mountains before we reach the old farm Skeið at the end of the valley. We snowshoe through the idyllic valley up to a small mountain lake. We might do some yoga or just enjoy the quietude amongst magnificent pyramid mountains. Back at the farm Skeid, our hostess Myriam welcomes us in her cozy renovated barn with a wonderful dinner.
Wednesday: Yoga on hot ground
In the morning we start out with a yoga session After a lunch in town we experience the fantastic world within an active volcanic in M yvatn area with its hot springs and the steaming and bubbling mud pools. Our first stop is at Goðafoss. We explore the diverse landscapes on different short hikes: the pseudo craters of Skútustaðir, the mystical Lava towers in Dimmuborgir, the continental divide the geothermal area at Námaskarð. Then it's time to relax in the wonderful warm water of the Nature Baths. With clear skies and cold temperatures, we have a very good chance to experience the dance of the Northern Lights on our way back to Akureyri
Thursday: Yoga on the island - a powerful spot!
In the morning we start out with a yoga session. We are going to have lunch at our retro café/restaurant in Akureyri.
Then we drive along the west coast of Eyjafjörður to the north before we reach the Sævar ferry to reach the small island Hrísey. A short walk takes us to a spectacular view point. This place is considered as one of the most energetic spots in Iceland- a perfect location to rest and enjoy a yoga unit.
Friday: A farewell with panorama
In the morning we start out with a yoga session. After a warm soup we leave for a last snowshoe hike. We gradually gain height on the eastern shore of the fjord and then once again opens up a wide view over the Eyjarfjörður: a good point in time to say farewell to the North of Iceland.
