Details

Have you ever dreamed of taking your yoga and meditation practice to the Norwegian fjords? I have. A few years ago, I set out on an “expedition” to find a truly unforgettable spot for a yoga retreat—away from the tourist crowds, in a place where Norwegians themselves go hiking and exploring. I found it. My Norwegian friends like to say, with a chuckle, “You really discovered the most magical spot in Norway!” And the fact that so many guests return year after year? That’s the highest compliment I could imagine. So yes, me and our “professional yoga retreaters,” as I like to call them, completely fell in love with this place… maybe it’s your turn next? This retreat is led by Mari Savela, my dear colleague and a brilliant, experienced, and caring yoga teacher.

Location

Ørsta, Norway

Øyragata 8 in Sæbø, Norway is set in the heart of a quiet fjord village surrounded by dramatic natural beauty, where steep mountains rise directly from the water and waterfalls cascade down the cliffs. Located along the shores of the Hjørundfjord, the area offers a peaceful, postcard-worthy atmosphere with easy access to hiking trails, boat excursions, and seasonal outdoor adventures. The village itself is small and welcoming, with traditional Norwegian architecture, local cafés, and a strong connection to nature, making it an ideal setting for reflection, slow living, and immersion in Norway’s rugged alpine and coastal landscape.

Sagafjord Hotel is a charming boutique hotel by the fjord in Sæbø, surrounded by steep mountains and serene nature. The hotel offers a peaceful retreat where guests can relax, enjoy local cuisine with fjord views, and explore scenic hiking trails and historic surroundings. Built with timber walls from Valdres and a vintage oven from a former school, the hotel’s roots trace back to a local baker’s bold vision. Today, Sagafjord combines comfort, tradition, and warm hospitality in the heart of Sunnmøre.

Testimonials

I am happy and grateful that I have been blessed with such an amazing experience. The location was breathtaking! Loved the yoga sessions, truly enjoyed the meditation aspect of it and the adventure side as well. We were a fantastic group and has an amazing instructor which made this experience even more special. Elena was great at explaining the poses and breathing and the fact that we were building up the practice from one session to the next. Elena's calming and soothing voice with perfect teaching skills were truly inspiring. Really enjoyed the meditation sessions, being read sections from the book. Loved the yoga, sauna and hiking. Elena, you're truly an inspiring person. Loved your positive energy and beautiful aura. You are amazing and I'm so glad I attended this retreat! I can't wait til I'm back for another Sparkling Yoga retreat. Will totally recommend it to all the people I know. I have truly enjoyed this. Thank you!!

This trip is truly one to remember—thank you! It was so much more than I could have hoped for or dreamed of. Beautiful location, great food, and most importantly, a very enjoyable atmosphere. The program with yoga and outdoor activities was lovely, and the group of yogis was inspiring and wonderful. Yet there was still plenty of time to relax, rest in calmness, and reflect on life's important questions. So thank you from my heart—I feel grounded and rejuvenated. For me, it was a perfect active vacation in beautiful Norway. Practical feedback: instructions were always excellent, the voice was beautiful and calming, and I loved the readings from the book you shared. I loved the twice-a-day yoga sessions and the flexibility they offered for other activities. Great location, lovely food—everything was just wonderful!

Kristina, Denmark

I love it! Every time I come back to your retreats! It is always different... and every time it's a life changing experience. I have no idea how this experience will shape my life and my future but I'm sure it will have a huge positive impact on my life, like it always had. Looking forward!

First of all, I would like to thank you for making this yoga retreat so special—so much more than just a regular retreat. You put so much passion, dedication, and love into it that the spark reached every single participant. You teach from the heart, and it’s clear that yoga is not just what you do for a living, but truly your way of life. Your optimism is unbreakable, and even when you challenge us with tough poses or long sessions on the mat, you have the gift of making us feel good while doing it. After every class, I felt amazing—having confronted inner barriers and transformed them into lightness. Your classes are perfectly structured and balanced. I especially appreciate that you always offer more challenging options for advanced yogis. I enjoyed every single class, and the themes were thoughtfully chosen. And Cristina’s warm hands-on adjustments were a wonderful surprise—helping us go deeper into poses or stretch exactly where we needed it. Beyond your teaching skills, you clearly have a remarkable talent for discovering hidden gems around the world. The Norway location, in the mountains beside the fjord, could not have been more spectacular. And the people you bring together at your retreats? There’s a real chance to make lifelong friends. This retreat has changed me in so many ways, and you’ve definitely hooked me for many more retreats to come.
