The Land of Fire & Ice
North Iceland is truly a dream destination for yogis, adventurers and travelers seeking an authentic experience at the heart of this magical country. If you’re ready to go beyond the usual stops and embrace Iceland’s untamed beauty, this retreat is for you.
We’ll leave behind the hustle of Reykjavik and head North to Akureyri, a charming town nestled along the country’s longest fjord. Often called Iceland’s best-kept secret, Akureyri has earned its spot as Lonely Planet’s #1 European Destination more than once, and it’s easy to see why.
With its mild climate, breathtaking landscapes, and proximity to the Arctic Circle, Akureyri offers so much to explore. From Icelandic horses and stunning waterfalls to hidden hiking trails, volcanic craters, and geothermal nature baths, every moment here is magical. And since you’re joining us in the summer, you’ll enjoy even more delights: the midnight sun, whale watching, and unforgettable rides on Icelandic horses.
We’ve partnered with the only modern yoga and wellness center in Northern Iceland to create an experience that combines adventure, relaxation, and connection. And YES, we will have aerial yoga sessions daily to complement your adventures!
Your retreat package includes cozy accommodations, most meals, daily guided excursions to the most stunning sights of the North, and a rejuvenating morning aerial yoga class at the wellness center.
This is more than a retreat—it’s an unforgettable journey into Iceland’s heart and soul. We can’t wait to share it with you!
The Experience
Each morning, after breakfast, we will prepare for the day’s adventures with an all-levels aerial yoga class designed to support that day’s adventures. Our hosts will pick us up at each apartment (all within a few blocks) and we’ll be transported across the fjord to our beautiful yoga and wellness center that overlooks the mountains and water.
Classes will be welcoming to all, and if you prefer, the center has a relaxation room, beautiful views, a dry sauna and jacuzzi available to our group. After class, we’ll be transported to lunch, and after this, we’ll head out for our day’s activities! If you decide any morning to sleep in and skip a class, you can simply meet us at lunch which is just a couple blocks walk from your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Akureyri and the retreat?
If heading directly to the retreat, most of you will depart your home city on Friday to arrive Saturday early morning in Reykjavik (KEF = Keflavik International.) From here, you will either drive, or book an easy 45 minute flight from Reykjavik Domestic Airport to Akureyri.
Your return will be the following Saturday morning from Akureyri – Reykjavik domestic, then a transfer to the International airport (Keflavik) and back home.
Some of you will choose to add extra days on your own in Reykjavik before or after the retreat dates which offers more options. This is ALSO the time of year that driving from Reykjavik to Akureyri is possible and may be a great choice if you want to join a few others and make the 4-5 hour drive and do some sightseeing along the way.
Once you arrive in Akureyri, all of your transportation will be provided until you’re returned to the Akureyri airport the following Saturday.
I’d like to go but I’m not sure yet if I’ll be able to get time off. What should I do?
You are welcome to reserve your spot now and if you end up not being able to go we’d be happy to transfer your payment(s) to another Flight Room retreat if you reschedule with at least three months notice.
What will the yoga classes be like?
We’re excited to share that this is now an AERIAL YOGA retreat! Our daily classes will be open to all levels (including those who have never tried aerial yoga before) and will be thoughtfully built around that day’s activity (ie: if we’re hiking in the afternoon, we’ll focus on warming our body for lots of walking during our morning practice.) On the two days we do not have excursions planned, an afternoon restorative practice will be offered.
All yoga classes are of course optional and you’re welcome to sleep in or use the Wellness Center facilities instead.
What are the accommodations like?
The shared apartments are some of the nicest in Akureyri. They feature modern design, central temperature control, comfortable beds with down comforters, full kitchens and common living areas, and natural, pristine drinking water straight out of the tap. Piping hot water for the showers and Jacuzzi’s is tapped from below, heated by the earth itself. An array of common breakfast items, fruit, coffee and selection of teas are also provided. The apartments are just a 10-12 minute walk to the town center, where we’ll have many of our meals together.
The hotel will be centrally located and at Hotel KEA or similar, based on availability.
What is the food like?
Contrary to what some might think, the food in Iceland is abundant and delicious! Icelandic farmers take pride in their connection to the land, and many of the dishes that guests enjoy are made with locally grown, farm-to-table ingredients. Iceland has amazing greenhouses, so you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the variety and quality of the food which includes vegetarian and vegan options.
Breakfasts are self serve at the houses and hotels and offer a variety of options for all food preferences. Lunches are at a local restayurant offering us a menu of options for omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. Dinners provided are offered with some surprise and variety! A meal of frech Arctic fish (or veg option) overlooking the lava fields, a meal presented on the Island of Hirsey (population 160), even a spurprise or two with re-located chefs presenting Indian and / or Thai food!
There are 3 open dinners so everyone has time to venture out on thier own. Akureyri is home to several cafe’s, coffee houses, juice bars, wine bars, and several other more formal restaurants for a special night on the town.
How should I dress?
In June, the average high is 55 and the average low is 44 (think March/April Seattle temps.) While light clothing is often all you need, always be prepared for both cold and wet weather at all times of the year. The weather can change on a dime. Icelanders often say, “If you don’t like the weather, just wait 15 minutes.” We recommend bringing pants or jeans, a warm jacket or coat, and warm hat, scarf or balaclava in case it’s unseasonably chilly. Also recommended is a water and wind resistant outer layer (jacket and pants) and warm shoes or boots that can get wet.
Finally, bring a bathing suit as bathing in the geothermally heated pools and backyard Jacuzzis is a favorite Icelandic pastime, whether to to gather with friends or to take in the majestic surroundings.
What if I don’t know anyone else attending the retreat?
Most of our retreat attendees register as individuals and are not traveling with a friend or partner, so you’ll be in good company. If you’re reserving a shared room, we will take care of matching you with another student traveling alone. One of the biggest benefits of the retreat experience is meeting new friends!
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations (for any reason, including Covid concerns) made more than 180 days before arrival are fully refundable. Cancellations made between 61 and 179 days are 50% refundable and cancellations made 60 days or less before arrival are not refundable. We STRONGLY recommend purchasing trip insurance as we are not able to make exceptions to our cancellation policy for any reason.
I have other questions.
