Saga of Stillness


Author your own story. Where towing cliffs meet still waters, the Fjords of Norway offer majestic and steady energy where you can breathe, be still and be in awe. Escape to a place where time slows down, the air feels cleaner, and nature rises in majestic silence all around you. Nestled in a remote inlet, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with your body, mind and heart in the wild and raw beauty of Norway.

  • We’ll be traveling the shores of Norangsfjorden in the Sunnmøre Alps of western Norway. The fjords, dramatic, steep-sided inlets of the sea carved by glaciers, known for their stunning natural beauty of towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and deep, clear waters. Pristine and remote, the quiet and steady energy of the land and sea will offer peace and stillness to author your own experience.

  • Our home for the week is the historic Hotel Union Øye. Located at the end of the Hjørundfjord, a beautiful and remote setting among the Sunnmøre Alps. Established in 1891, the hotel has hosted many notable figures throughout its history and offers sumptuous rooms, cozy common spaces, and a gourmet restaurant. Wake up to crisp Nordic mornings and sweeping views of towing cliffs mirrored in still water. On site is a floating sauna and concierge to help plan your daily activities of hiking, kayaking, e-bike, fjord cruise and more.

  • Yoga will be held in the barn, a specially designed and custom-built space dedicated to hosting unique events at Union Oye. The dramatic wooden beams and soaring windows provide a stunning and inspiring backdrop for our daily practice, creating an atmosphere of reflection and awe. Read more about my teaching HERE.

  • Included in your retreat is a private half-day fjord cruise. We’ll explore the towing peaks and cascading waterfalls of Norangsfjorden and stop for lunch in the roadless village Trandal.

    On site at the hotel is a private floating sauna where you can soak in the mountain views and cool off with a refreshing dip in the fjord. The sauna is open daily for hotel guests from 8-10am. We will book a few private sessions for our group through out the week.

    From the hotel you can access several hikes, kayaking tours, rent e-bikes and book helicopter tours.
