Yoga, sauna and wild fjords above the Arctic Circle

Stay in a secluded fjord-side hideaway in northern Norway

An active Arctic escape for adventurous nature lovers

Join us for a yoga retreat in northern Norway, where dramatic Arctic landscapes, quiet fishing villages and a slower pace of life come together on a remote island above the Arctic Circle. Led by Nichola Henderson, this Norway yoga retreat combines yoga, wildlife encounters, scenic walks and sauna sessions in one of Europe’s most beautiful and untouched regions.

Practise yoga overlooking the fjords, explore rugged coastlines and wildlife-rich waters, and return each evening to our cosy apartments by the water. As winter draws closer and the crowds disappear, this is a chance to slow down, reconnect and experience a quieter side of northern Norway.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reclaim's Mongolia Retreat was my first (a) Yoga Retreat and (b) Group Travel trip (& as a solo participant). Count myself lucky to be a Reclaim Alum & will be back for more! Jools & team did an fantastic job balancing the travel, trip-experiences & yoga across two magnificant destinations. While each of the 10 days flew by, the pace remained unhurried and I was able to fully engage through all the activities. I really appreciated how the team fostered a warm & friendly environment across the small group, and it was a truly lovely communal experience. Major shout-out to Kelly for the menu & food as well - I am not a vegetarian, but did not miss meat at all over the trip! Yoga with James was eye-opening as well, with the yurts providing a really grounding experience. We all received personal attention/modifications during the group classes that catered to varying levels of practice. Beyond the new poses & transitions, my foundation has really improved with his attention to micro-detail & expertise across breadth, movement & focus. Grateful to have been a part of this trip & massive thank you to Jools & James for the experience. 10/10. Highly Recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent - I’ve been on four retreats (South Africa/Namibia, Japan, Norway, and Iceland) and signed up for two more. Small, well-led, great yoga, great destinations. You are very well taken care of, and the company’s retreats always minimise environmental impact and maximise wellness.

I recently had the privilege of attending a yoga retreat with Reclaim Yourself to Mongolia. It was perfect! The yoga classes were led by James Rafael. The class size was small which allowed personal attention to all students, there was meditation,  breath work , a powerful flow and the occasional workshop threaded in, teaching new poses and refining old poses. It was the perfect beginning and end to each day.   Sleeping in yurts was new and a fun experience.  One night I even scored a 98 sleep score. The vegetarian meals  were outstanding, thanks  to Kelly and the camp personnel . The transportation was another highlight of the trip a  train ride to the Gobi desert, and Jeep excursions in the gobi and then to the next camp, traveling back trails.  Then you add in the hikes and horseback riding and hot showers in the shower tent, by candlelight all coordinated by Jools.  Perfect.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Several weeks have passed since my retreat in Bhutan with ReclaimYourself . I have had weeks to reflect and notice how I Feel and how I was affected by my experience . When I left I felt that the trip was a 10+++ . Extremely well organized , leaders who care about their clients and are clearly invested in their well being and just a fabulous time all the way around . After all these weeks , I still feel like the trip and company is a 10+++ .  I would highly recommend Reclaim Yourself to anyone if you are looking to combine adventure with some yoga and retrospection . This group and company is wonderful!! You can’t go wrong with any of their offered retreats!! ❤️

Bhutan is extraordinary on its own — but experiencing it through this retreat elevated it into something truly transformative. From the moment we arrived, every detail was thoughtfully held. Our guides and drivers were exceptional. Patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, they kept us safe and well-informed through every hike and excursion, and their warmth made the whole journey feel personal rather than programmatic. The yoga was outstanding. I came hoping to deepen my practice and left having done exactly that. Matthew is a gem — his instruction and presence created a space where I felt fully supported every single day, on and off the mat. What sets this retreat apart is the rare combination of rigorous practice, breathtaking landscape, and people who genuinely care about your experience. Bhutan has a way of cracking you open, and having the right container for that makes all the difference.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s hard to put into words just how wonderful this retreat was. Carefree, culturally connected, sustainable by design, and deeply personal. I felt incredibly cared for every step of the journey to Bhutan. Jools was exceptionally thoughtful and generous with her time,  knowledge, and passion for connecting people from all walks of life with meaningful experiences. She was and amazing bodyguard at the Delhi airport, and a steady support system for the group, and a savvy strategic planner who stayed 10 steps ahead at every moment. As a yogi, it was also incredible to have access to a world class instructor. I was really impressed by how selectively Jools chooses partners like Matthew that truly deepen your yoga practice in a meaningful way. If you’re looking for a life-changing adventure with a group that goes deeper than the average travel company, considers every experience, and leaves the world a little better in the process, this is the perfect opportunity to do something truly special for yourself.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You won’t find a retreat that inspires you, calms you, and genuinely immerses you in culture and connection the way Reclaim Yourself does. Jools, Chloe, Matthew, and the whole team go above and beyond to make sure you feel truly cared for. Chloe was so lovely throughout, and Matthew’s yoga sessions were such a grounding and special part of the experience. The friendships you make last a lifetime. Thank you all -you gave me so much more than just a retreat!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve done 2 retreats - one in Greece and the second in Bhutan.  Both retreats were incredible from start to finish.  The yoga teacher Matthew is so warm and caring.  Jools and Chloe keep the group organized and thought of everything.  It was so nice to feel completely cared for during the trip.  I am absolutely impressed with their commitment to sustainability and impacting the local community in a positive way

The setting

Set on the island of Langøya in the far north of the Norwegian Arctic, this five-night retreat takes place in one of Scandinavia’s most remote and beautiful coastal regions. Largely untouched by mass tourism, this is a landscape of snow-capped peaks, quiet fishing villages, deep fjords and vast open skies, shaped by the Arctic Ocean and the rhythms of nature. As winter draws closer, the pace slows, the crowds disappear, and the landscape takes on a quieter, more contemplative character.

Our Arctic home

Our home for the week is a small, family-owned collection of beautifully designed Nordic apartments overlooking the fjord. Set on a quiet stretch of coastline surrounded by mountains and sea, the red timber buildings sit right at the water’s edge, creating the feeling of a secluded Arctic hideaway.

Yoga and daily rhythm

Throughout the retreat, yoga with Nichola provides an anchor to the experience, with energising morning practices and slower evening sessions designed to help the body unwind and settle into the slower rhythm of Arctic life.

Most mornings begin with yoga overlooking the water before gathering for breakfast and heading out to explore the landscapes around us. Over the course of the week, we’ll experience the best of this remarkable corner of Norway, from scenic coastal trails and wildlife-rich fjords to dramatic viewpoints and quiet fishing communities. Each day offers a different experience, balancing exploration, rest and time to absorb the stillness of the north.

Wildlife and fjord exploration

One of the highlights of the retreat is a wildlife boat safari through the surrounding islands and fjords. Travelling by boat along this rugged coastline, we’ll search for sea eagles and marine life while passing dramatic cliffs, quiet bays and small fishing communities only accessible from the water.

Guided walks in the Arctic landscape

During the retreat, we also head out on guided walks to explore the landscapes around us. Following coastal trails and scenic viewpoints overlooking the fjords and surrounding islands, we’ll experience the ever-changing Arctic light, vast horizons and peaceful beauty that make this part of Norway so special.

Sauna by the fjord

Back at our apartments, the sauna becomes part of the daily rhythm of the week. After time spent outdoors in the crisp Arctic air, there is something deeply satisfying about warming up beside the fjord before stepping back into the cool air outside.

Time to slow down

There is also time to enjoy the surroundings at your own pace. You may choose to relax by the water, read a book while looking out across the fjord, enjoy an additional sauna session, or simply watch the changing weather move across the landscape. This is a place that rewards unhurried moments and quiet observation.
