Weekend and 5 day Retreats with Yoga and Meditation

A short retreat at Haa Retreat Center allows you to open up for a new experience of yourself and gives you inspiration for your everyday life.

3-Day Weekend Retreat

The 3-day course has 15 hours of teaching divided into 8 classes. The teaching contains classical yoga, breathing exercises, concentration techniques, deep relaxation and meditation. Amongst others: the Source of Energy, a version of Inner Silence called Returning and a lecture on Saturday evening.

During Saturday and Sunday, before noon, we have approx. 1½ hours of Karma yoga, and a little Sunday afternoon also. Karma yoga means that you take part in the practical work around the course center, for instance in the garden or in the kitchen.

In your free time you can enjoy the beautiful nature of Småland: go for walks in the forest, canoeing in the lake - or rest in the pyramid.

5-Day Retreat

During the 5-day course there is a 1½ day silent period. All participants do an intestinal cleansing Wednesday morning.

Karma Yoga hours are like on the longer courses, that is approx. 1½ hours before noon and an occasional afternoon or evening. Please see other details below, in the information on the 3-day courses.

It does not require any prior understanding to participate in our weekend retreats. Both beginners and experienced are welcome.

However, to participate in the Chakra Weekend, you must have taken part in one of our other courses prior to coming.

See Chakra weekend - for experienced >>

The course starts on Friday 5:30pm and ends on Sunday 4:30 pm. A weekend course is a process of development and it is therefore important that you are able to participate from beginning to end.

The lessons will be taught in English.

Greetings!

I want, after this weekend course, to thank you for being there. I feel an incredible difference in my family right now. I feel awake and present and filled with a great inner joy and energy, yet also quiet. The most pleasant and most liberating experience for me is to experience that I am not my thoughts or feelings but the one experiencing them. It saves a lot of energy to, at any time, just be able to put ideas to the side.
