What is a Weekend Yoga Immersion?

A Yoga Immersion is a two-day experience designed for humans wanting to deepen their understanding of yoga beyond the 60-minute classes, in a welcoming, supportive, fun, and down-to-earth environment.

Over the weekend, we will explore meditation, pranayama, yoga philosophy, alignment-based movement, Yin Yoga, and restorative practices, and share food, stories, and just high vibes all around.

Whether you are looking to connect with yourself, deepen your practice, regulate your own nervous system, or simply spend a weekend immersed in yoga in our wonderful community, this space is made for you.

Meet Your Facilitator

“Hey, hey. I’m Annika, and I am the founder of Nin Yoga and Kaya Academy. I assume that if you are reading this, we probably already know each other. But if not, hey there!

For over 10 years now, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people in deepening their yoga practice through classes, retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings. While I absolutely love movement, what I am most passionate about is helping people experience yoga beyond the asana (that means poses, btw).

For me, yoga is not about perfect flexibility or fancy shapes. It is about learning to understand yourself more deeply through movement, breath, stillness, philosophy, nervous system regulation, meditation, rest, and my personal favourite, community.

My teaching style is warm, practical and generally pretty simple. I love meaningful conversations, making yoga feel accessible and creating spaces that feel welcoming, supportive and fun (cause whats life without laughs, right?!)

Whether you are completely new to yoga or philosophy, or have been practising for many moons, this weekend is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Let’s hang out!”

  • No. While this immersion includes elements often explored in yoga teacher training such as philosophy, pranayama, meditation and alignment, you do not need to want to become a teacher to attend. Think of it as an opportunity to deepen your understanding and experience of yoga.

  • Across the weekend we will explore a blend of alignment-based movement, Yin Yoga, restorative practices, meditation, pranayama (breathwork) and gentle philosophy discussions. The focus is less on intensity and more on depth, understanding and nervous system support.

  • You are very welcome to join. Please let us know beforehand if you have any injuries, are pregnant, or have anything you would like us to be aware of so we can support you with appropriate modifications.
