Medical Yoga
Health Travel

Welcome to quiet days of yoga, meditation and good experiences at the beautiful Villa Dorothea in Spain!

Join us on a journey to inner peace, more energy and well-being! We do medical yoga daily in beautiful surroundings at the exclusive retreat place Villa Dorothea. There we will fill up with good experiences, togetherness, silence, tranquility and well-being for body, mind and soul!

Hva gjør vi denne uken

Å reise på helsereise er noe mer enn en ferie. En helsereise er tilrettelagt for at du skal kunne få mer tid til deg selv, få praktisere yoga, meditasjon, hvile, stillhet, god mat og oppleve et støttende fellesskap. I omsorgen du viser deg selv vil du få lade batteriene, fylle på med gode opplevelser og lære enkle, gode teknikker som du tar med deg hjem til hverdagen og din livsvei.

Det vil bli daglig morgenyoga, samt ekstra yoga og meditasjonsøkter de fleste dagene, i tillegg til et gongbad en av kveldene. Yogaen foregår i den vakre salen i Villaen- omgitt av marmor og med en nydelig utsikt! Dersom bassenget holder riktig temperatur, gjør vi også yoga i vann. 

En av dagene vil vi dra til stranden og gjøre morgenyogaen i soloppgang, etterfulgt av frokost på stranden.

I tillegg til yogaen vil det være undervisning de fleste dagene (valgfri deltagelse) hvor vi setter fokus på selvivaretagelse og kvinnehelse. Undervisningen fletter sammen kunnskap fra både nyere forskning og kunnskap og yogisk perspektiv, og det vil være en blanding av teori og praktiske øvelser.

Du vil få trene på å leve litt langsommere, være oppmerksomt tilstede i egen kropp og gi kroppen tid til å finne sin balanse. Med en holistisk og praktisk tilnærming til helse og velvære ønsker vi å bidra til økt bevissthet om kropp og helse for god livskvalitet, også lenge etter reisen er over!

Om du ønsker er det en mulighet til å bli sertifisert i modulen: Medisinsk Yoga Selvivaretagelse (dette er inkl. prisen)

Denne modulen passer for deg som ønsker å lære hvordan du kan forstå, håndtere og styrke egen selvivaretakelse. Den passer også for deg som er helsepersonell/behandler og som møter mennesker som er stressbelastet i din arbeidshverdag - enten om du jobber en til en eller med grupper.

Det er en ydmykhet og en respekt for den kompleksiteten det ligger i å jobbe med det som har med det menneskelige å gjøre. I denne modulen ser vi også nærmere på hvordan helsepersonell/behandlere best mulig kan yte helsehjelp uten at det går på bekostning av dem selv.

Formålet med modulen er å forebygge og lindre belastninger. ​

I denne modulen lærer du om:

  • Belastningspsykologi

  • Stressfysiologi

  • Hvordan møte grubling og bekymring

  • Programmer i Medisinsk Yoga

  • Teknikker og øvelser til bruk i hverdagen

  • Oppmerksomhetstrening​

Anette Haugnæss

My name is Anette Haugnæss, and I am part of the team at Medisinsk Yoga Norge. In addition, I run Solid Veileding AS where I offer process guidance for the health and upbringing sector and the refugee service. In addition, I hold professional days for health and school personnel, and offer yoga classes on order from associations and companies.

​ 

My experiences have grown over 20 years where I have interacted with young people exposed to complex trauma. This has contributed to useful experiences, both at management level, the colleague group, interdisciplinary cooperation and not least in the meetings with the young people and their network. The department I worked in was lucky enough to be guided by Heine Steinkopf at RVTS Sør, where several of us have contributed as informants in his doctoral work - which is certainly worth a closer look! 

​​

I have specialist expertise in trauma-informed care, stress and techniques for self-care. Over the years, I have taken a bachelor's degree in child protection, a master's degree in clinical mental health work, further education in mindfulness at NTNU, and I am a certified stress counselor, thought virus instructor and bereavement group leader.
