This retreat is held in Heponiemen hiljaisuuden keskus (Heponiemi centre of silence) in Karjalohja. It is located in nature by a lake, just over an hour by car from the center of Helsinki.

The teachers:

Brooke’s teaching approach emphasizes yoga for all seasons of life. With clear, accessible instructions, she supports both beginners and advanced practitioners in exploring their practice. At the heart of every class is a deeper invitation: to quiet the mind and cultivate a more profound understanding of yourself.

Laura is an Italian former ballet dancer, now a visual and performance artist, as well as a dedicated yoga practitioner and teacher. Her approach is rooted in a passion for sharing the full spectrum of yoga—from its sweet, rewarding moments to its inevitable challenges. She emphasizes proper alignment and technique, while encouraging her students to understand, appreciate, and respect their bodies. Her aim is to make yoga accessible, transformative, and a source of meaningful connection.
