About the hike

Have you ever tried outdoor yoga in the magnificent surroundings of mountains, snow, glacier and glacier lakes? If not, you will be trilled to experience the power of nature and its impact on body and mind in combination with yoga.

This hike combines kayak on a glacier lake and yoga and is only arranged on request and some selected dates. You will meet our professional kayak guide and yoga teacher in Rosendal. From Rosendal we travel together to the glacier lake where we do the paddling. We will provide you with all equipment needed for the kayaking and to practice yoga. After safety introduction and adjustment of equipment, we are ready to start the paddle tour. The kayak tour is about 3 km in distance one direction, in total 6 km, we paddle along shore on our way to the glacier. At a beach nearby the glacier we park the kayaks, and take a "break from everything" together with your yoga teacher, who will lead you trough a yoga class in the scenery of spectacular nature. We also eat lunch (bring your own lunch, or pre order) while we take a close look on the glacier.

After yoga and lunch we paddle back to start point. Normal duration for this trip is 6-8 hours (start and stop in Rosendal).

There will be no walking on the glacier or ice climbing. The focus of this tour will be on kayaking, the magic ice landscape and its surrounding nature, fresh air, silence, breath, inner harmony and the mind-body connection.

Ingrid Jæger

Ingrid has practiced yoga since 1998 and has education in a number of different yoga styles, ranging from classic Hatha style classes with focus on strength, balance and flexible movement to slower styles like Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga. She also teach yoga for children and yoga for elderly, private classes as well as office yoga. She has a strong focus on a safe yoga practice, and her aim is to show you that yoga can be for all, regardless of age, gender and former experience with yoga. Ingrid is also an anthropologist who has spent quite some time in the Himalayas, doing research, hiking, trekking, climbing and living with local families, as well as practicing yoga. As often as possible she goes back to practice yoga in the wonderful and ever amazing countries where yoga has its origin. Practicing yoga in the surrounding of wild mountains, glacier and glacier lakes is quit special and makes her feel vibrant, alive, free and deeply at home. The glacier team on Folgefonna is thrilled to offer yoga classes on Folgefonna held by Ingrid who is very experienced and who really understands the impact both yoga and great nature experiences means for both mind and body.
