NORDIC SISTERS /ˈnɔːdɪk ˈsɪstəs/

Nordic roots and Viking like spirit brought these sisters together. The spirit of: fighting for what’s in your heart, to follow your heart and to flow from it. With similar background in the performance and movement world Josie and Ida wanted to create a space and find a place where they could help others to connect and express their own inner Viking – to find the essence of inner power.

TO BE (COME) MORE YOU

Josie and Ida’s hunger of exploring new spaces and places, feeling free, living with LOVE and a constant need to PLAY and escape, means that these sisters are always on a look out for special places that match their vibes. They have a mutual impulse for all things CREATIVE, CURIOUS and UNKNOWN.

Josie and Ida believe that it is through exploration and experience of culture, environment, dance, acting, singing, movement and all that, that we can feel ourselves, become ourselves. Through this journey we start to observe and later surpass old habits, restricting thought patterns that no longer serves us.

Josie and Ida’s goal is to guide you into a space where you can FREE your mind and RELEASE your innate power. The POWER that’s your birthright.

‘THE WILL TO LIVE A FREE LIFE WITH A WILD SPIRIT AND A LOVING HEART’

With these two powerhouses together you have Ida’s fire and passion for all things physical and Josie’s gentle nurturing energy for all things spiritual and emotional.

We here present NORDIC SISTERS.

Come claim Your space.

Now.

We’ll be hidden 2 hours away from Stockholm, nestled within a pine forrest centred around a lake with immediate access to dip in. Floating sauna, vegan food and long walks in the forrest...

Immerse yourself in the powerful duality of yin and yang yoga practise by the Nordic Sisters Ida & Josie. Ida will be teaching powerful vinyasa flows fused with the elements of animal flow and primal movement to wake you up in the mornings whilst Josephine guides you into the world of healing meditation and breath work with the evening yin practises. 

’How often do we take time to honour our ancestors? To sit with our story and to allow the natural unfolding of LIFE to take place?

Held in the beauty and rawness of Nature we will allow for an opening and softening to occur. All. By. Itself.

Come to breathe, cry, hug, laugh and dance through it all. Come to be seen, touched and understood.

More than anything come to recognize that YOU ARE ALWAYS LOVED.’

Food: The Kitchen at Shambala is the heart of the place. Bring on that vegan butter (those who know you know) !! Vegan and gluten-free, mostly organic ingredients, recipes inspired by the Indian Ayurvedic health tradition, high quality healthy oils, sweets served every other day, home baked bread served every other day (my fav), right food combination to ensure optimum protein intake, we focus on easily digestible beans and legumes, abundance of digestive spices, use of healthy fats, o sugars or artificial sweeteners. Dreamy.
