About this trip

Join me for an exciting yoga and adventure retreat in Akureyi, 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!

A group of women who were mostly strangers to each other went to Costa Rica on a yoga retreat with a beloved teacher. It exceeded my (high) expectations. The yoga was of course wonderful; the additional outings were to beautiful parks and beaches, and the options for the more adventurous were all great fun. Food where we stayed was excellent -- local ingredients, delicious and also healthy. Coffee, of course, was incomparable, as we were Costa Rica. The retreat center was very nice and everyone was super friendly, going out of their way to point out birds, make sure we could get picked up by car at the beach, etc. Krista found a great spot! The best part of all, of course, was the wonderful camaraderie that always results when Krista is leading. She just sets such a wonderful tone -- you are sure to have a good time.

Wonderful facility - perfect architecture for the climate. SUPERB and healthy food, just delicious! Great pool, a 30 minute walk to the beach - or a 10 minute bike ride. Owners knowledgeable about planning excursions. Felt very safe, all the van contractors they chose for us were safe, reliable.

Krista-led retreats are so enjoyable I hate to miss one. They are well organized, the accommodations are comfortable with good food and the atmosphere welcoming and friendly. I wish I could go on all of them.
