Iceland Unbound
November 1st - 8th 2025
A Journey Through Earth, Fire & Water
Escape with me to the Wild North
Iceland is a land where nature’s raw power and beauty collide—where fire erupts from the earth, glaciers stretch endlessly, and waterfalls cascade with breathtaking force.
This 7-day yoga and adventure retreat is your invitation to immerse yourself in the untamed landscapes of the North, reconnect with your inner self, and embrace the elements in their purest form.
From daily yoga and meditation to soaking in geothermal lagoons and chasing the Northern Lights, every moment of this retreat is designed to awaken your senses and nourish your soul.
Why Join This Retreat?
1. A Transformative Yoga & Meditation Experience
Begin each day with invigorating yoga in our cozy lakeside hotel, overlooking the stillness of nature. Evenings will be dedicated to slow flow, yoga nidra, and meditation, helping you unwind and absorb the magic of Iceland’s energy.
2. Explore Iceland’s Natural Wonders
Golden Circle Tour – Explore Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Thingvellir National Park, where history and breathtaking landscapes intertwine.
South Coast Tour – Witness dramatic waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, and towering cliffs as we journey along Iceland’s rugged coastline.
Hike Reykjadalur Valley – Trek through steaming geothermal fields to a hidden hot river, where we’ll soak in the mineral-rich waters surrounded by nature.
Soak in Two Hot Springs – Experience Sky Lagoon’s Seven-Step Ritual and Hvammsvik Hot Springs, a geothermal oasis embraced by Iceland’s wilderness.
Chase the Northern Lights – Iceland is one of the world’s best locations for spotting the Aurora Borealis, and late fall offers dark, clear skies for optimal viewing.
3. Savor Local Flavors
Daily buffet breakfasts at our lakeside retreat
Six gourmet dinners (2-course) at the hotel with vegetarian & vegan options
A food tour in Reykjavik – Taste authentic Icelandic cuisine while exploring the charming capital
4. A Cozy & Scenic Retreat Space
Enjoy seven nights at Hotel Kriunes, a tranquil lakeside haven where the Northern Lights often appear. Relax in the outdoor Jacuzzi & sauna, savor nourishing meals, and step directly into nature from your room.
5. All-Inclusive Adventure & Connection
This small-group retreat is designed for deep connection—both with nature and like-minded souls. Everything is taken care of so you can fully relax, explore, and recharge.
What our retreat members are saying:
My heartfelt words…
Having just returned from my first ever yoga retreat , I can unreservedly recommend Vanessa Morten’s yoga escapes!! I travelled solo and one of Vanessa’s skills along with being a great teacher and tour group leader was her ability to promote an atmosphere of openness , humour and honesty that encouraged genuine friendships to build in a short time!
Vanessa was flexible and adaptable , adjusting our yoga practices to suit our needs!
The accommodation was outstanding , Jim’s Farm villas and beach villas were first class and great places to experience Sri Lanka from .
A balance of yoga, tours and time to explore allowed me to make the most of my time on the beautiful island.
As for the food… wow! My lady like appetite took a backseat as wolfed down every meal that appeared!
Vanessa you are the best ,my first yoga retreat won’t be my last!! Is it too soon to book my next one ( or 2) with you!
Big love Julie (UAE)
