A Weekend of Alignment, Meditation & Yogic Inquiry

Planting seeds for a deeper practice–an immersion into the elements of yoga including asana, meditation, pranayama, mantra, and nourishing stories from yoga philosophy. Learn more about the practice you love. Experience something different and explore why you keep coming back to the mat.

Join us during the first moments of Spring at Villa Saga for an intimate immersion, an opportunity to experience, plant seeds, and celebrate the fruits of the practice–transformation, increased self-awareness, and a deeper connection to one's true self.

The Venue

Our venue, Villa Saga, is located in Kirkkonummi - 25 minute drive from Helsinki and smoothly reachable by train. Nature and countryside is present all around!

You can easily have a walk under the trees and even venture deep into the forest. The nearby lakes have lovely spots for refreshing swims. The three-story house is spacious with plenty of natural light. Its three highlights are surely the welcoming yoga shala, the wooden sauna and the outdoor hot tub!

A wooden table with a green salad, bowl of white rice, bowl of spicy vegetable curry, lime and cilantro garnish, small bowl of sauce, piece of banana bread, and a metal spoon.

A bedroom with four beds, each with white bedding and pillows, surrounded by sheer white curtains hanging from wooden frames. There are two windows with wooden frames, a small nightstand with lamps, and a rug on the wooden floor.

The Food

Think fresh, vibrant, colourful, and nourishing food!
A delightful fusion inspired by Laura’s Italian heritage, the purity of Finnish nature, and a touch of exotic flavours.

Exactly what you’ll crave after a day of movement and reconnection.

All meals are 100% vegetarian, with vegan and gluten-free options always available—designed to support and uplift your inner energy.

And above all: everything will be absolutely delicious!

Your Hosts

Laura, an Italian artist and yoga teacher, is passionate about using movement to understand the mind.

Brooke, an American yoga teacher based in Hämeenlinna, focuses on guiding students to connect with their own energy to deepen self-awareness.

Together, their classes are playful yet grounded in anatomy and physiology. With clear, accessible instructions, they create a space where both beginners and experienced practitioners can feel safe, engaged, and challenged.

Laura and Brooke met in Helsinki not long ago and have been inseparable ever since. They share a love for all things yoga—nerding out over alignment, philosophy, and sequencing—with plenty of laughter and curiosity along the way.
