The weekend runs from Friday 20 November to Sunday 22 November 2026. Some days have two yoga classes: a more energetic flowing session and a gentler one, usually yin, later in the day. Sound healing happens twice over the weekend, and it pairs naturally with the slower yin practice. All of this takes place in a dedicated yoga shala that already has mats, bolsters and blankets, so you don't need to bring any equipment.

The weekend leans more towards learning than a typical yoga break does. Ada runs a women's health workshop covering hormonal balance and nutrition, with group coaching built in. She gives practical tools for staying well through the Swedish winter. There are also reflection exercises, plus a creative evening that breaks things up.

Ada trained as a health advisor and yoga teacher, and her background covers psychology, diet and nutrition, and gut and hormonal health. Her main interest is women's health through different life stages. She has dealt with stress and physical imbalances herself, and she talks about that openly. That experience is a big part of why the workshop is practical rather than theoretical.

Alma has run healthy, plant-based cafés since 2017 and currently runs Verde in Malmö. She's in charge of the kitchen for the whole weekend and cooks colourful, filling plant-based meals. Her view is that there's no single right diet. You eat well, you enjoy it, and you look forward to the next meal. She shares her own story in an inspirational talk during the weekend.

The venue, Bäddar & Ängar, is near Tomelilla in Österlen, the rural southeast corner of Skåne. Expect fields, quiet country roads and early dark in November. The organisers suggest bringing indoor slippers and warm, cosy clothes, and that tells you the mood: candles, blankets and long meals rather than anything strenuous.

Compared with a standard yoga weekend, this one has two extras: the women's health and hormone workshop, and a working café owner cooking for you. It's small-scale and run by two people you'll actually get to talk to.
