Take time for yourself, get nourished, and enjoy a balanced yoga routine along with lovely summer days by the lake. With the care of experienced teachers and a loving staff, you’ll unwind, feel refreshed and healthy, and learn a lot about yoga.
We’ve designed this retreat with you in mind—someone who wants to rest in nature, deepen your yoga practice, and have plenty of time to simply be. You’ll feel the sun on your skin, take dips in the lake, enjoy evening saunas, and connect with others. Sanna and Sky are known for their warm, welcoming presence, combined with integrity and depth. They wish for you to find comfort, inspiration, and deepened well-being, all while enjoying a memorable yogic holiday.

STAY
Shambala is an intimate yoga community and retreat center nestled in the forests of Bergslagen, two hours from Stockholm in Skinnskatteberg, Västmanland.
Dedicated to community and yoga, Shambala’s vision is to live harmoniously with nature. Surrounded by lush forests and a tranquil lake, it invites you to enjoy peaceful walks, refreshing swims, and moments of reflection. A highlight is the floating sauna by the lake, offering a soothing experience.
Accommodations are cozy and simple, with options to share a room, enjoy a private single room (when available), or try glamping, with rooms allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
At Shambala, you’ll be welcomed wholeheartedly with open arms into a homely, family atmosphere, where daily lake swims and saunas are just a part of the healing experience that this special place offers.
You can view our accommodation options below.
