Iceland Yoga and Adventure Retreat in Akureyri, Iceland

North Iceland is the ideal location for yogis, adventurers, retreat leaders and other travel enthusiasts who desire an authentic experience at the heart of this magical country.

Away from the mainstream tourism of Reykjavik, we’ll take you North to the town of Akureyri, Iceland’s second largest city (population = 18,000). Once one of Iceland’s best kept secrets, Akureyri has been voted #1 European Destination by Lonely Planet several times.

Akureyri’s mild climate on the longest fjord in the country and its close proximity to the Arctic Circle make it a must-see and must-experience destination.

Majestic landscapes, Icelandic horses, waterfalls, secret hikes off the beaten path, volcanic craters and geothermic nature baths are just some of the features offered. The various seasons offer their own additional gifts – Icelandic ponys, whale watching, chasing the Northern Lights.

I am a yoga and fitness instructor living in Washington DC. I believe in the power of yoga to change lives for the better and am excited to share that with others. I believe that gaining strength and stamina on the outside can help lead to strength and stamina on the inside. I believe that being grateful for our strong and capable bodies in every activity, no matter what that body might look like, makes a difference in how we live our lives. I have a passion for teaching both yoga and fitness and I simply love what I do!

Retreats with Krista are always fantastic. The retreat was well organized, well run, and very Plesant and relaxing. There is a good balance of physical activity and relaxation. The food is good quality. Everyone should have a Krista in their lives!
