Are flights included?

Flights are not included. We provide suggested options on the travel page, and our team is happy to advise if you’d like support with booking.

What’s the group size and what kind of people are going?

This is a small group trip for up to 12 people. Our retreats bring together a mix of solo travellers, friends, and couples, typically aged 40–60, though we also welcome those in their 30s and 70s. They are solo-friendly by design and attract open-minded people who value wellbeing, enjoy exploring, and like meeting others along the way. Some guests come for the yoga, others for the destination, but many end up enjoying both. The atmosphere is friendly, down-to-earth, and easy to be part of.

It was a real pleasure to know that you’re in safe and capable hands, with people who are genuinely and wholeheartedly dedicated to their work. I’ll definitely be returning to the retreats, and I wish you all the best.

All the details are taken care of and the locations are always amazing.  The instructors/hosts are so awesome too.  I just got back from Iceland, incredible!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, my experience with Reclaim Yourself Retreats in Jordan was unmatched. The food was incredible, the people were warm and welcoming, and every activity was thoughtfully planned. Honestly, it was perfect. Every detail was taken care of, so all I had to do was show up and soak it all in. If you've been thinking about Jordan, go with Reclaim. I can't recommend them enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came away from the yoga retreat in Jordan feeling genuinely grateful for the experience. I appreciated the warmth of the yoga teacher and the sense of community within the group.I found the retreat deeply rewarding. It gave me a chance to pause, breathe and experience Jordan in a very different way. Jools Sampson worked with some amazing local experts on the ground and the people were certainly one of the most memorable part of the retreat. I left having made some wonderful new friends and shared experiences that I will remember for a long time. Thank you Jools and James for having me.

Our second trip with Reclaim Yourself, and we’ve booked two more !  These retreats are exceptionally well run with an imaginative itinerary - our Jordan trip included stargazing, a ballon trip at sunrise and a desert camel rides.  Quality of accommodation is excellent, with the emphasis on responsible travel and heritage properties from havelis in India to desert pods in Wadi Rum.  Would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reclaim's Mongolia Retreat was my first (a) Yoga Retreat and (b) Group Travel trip (& as a solo participant). Count myself lucky to be a Reclaim Alum & will be back for more!

Jools & team did an fantastic job balancing the travel, trip-experiences & yoga across two magnificant destinations. While each of the 10 days flew by, the pace remained unhurried and I was able to fully engage through all the activities. I really appreciated how the team fostered a warm & friendly environment across the small group, and it was a truly lovely communal experience. Major shout-out to Kelly for the menu & food as well - I am not a vegetarian, but did not miss meat at all over the trip!

Yoga with James was eye-opening as well, with the yurts providing a really grounding experience. We all received personal attention/modifications during the group classes that catered to varying levels of practice. Beyond the new poses & transitions, my foundation has really improved with his attention to micro-detail & expertise across breadth, movement & focus.

Grateful to have been a part of this trip & massive thank you to Jools & James for the experience.

10/10. Highly Recommended!

A winter retreat in the Arctic wilderness

Step into a world of winter wonder on this six-night wilderness retreat in the heart of Finnish Lapland. Set against a backdrop of snow-laden forests, frozen lakes and vast Arctic skies, this is an experience shaped by nature, stillness and adventure. Days are spent moving through pristine landscapes, warming body and soul in traditional saunas, and embracing the quiet magic of life above the Arctic Circle.

A gentle daily rhythm

Most mornings begin gently with yoga, easing the body awake and setting the tone for the day ahead. After breakfast, we head out into the Arctic wilderness for a guided adventure in the snow. Whether snowshoeing through silent forests or gliding across frozen landscapes, each day offers a chance to explore this remarkable environment at a comfortable pace, with experienced local guides. As the afternoon unfolds, we return to warmth and stillness with sauna, yoga and meditation, allowing the body to unwind and the mind to settle.

Exploring Lapland on snowshoes

On our first full day, you will venture into the Arctic landscape on snowshoes. Led by our Finnish team, you will travel through glistening forests and frozen terrain while they share stories about life in the north, local traditions and their deep connection to the surrounding nature.

A husky sledding adventure

Another highlight is a visit to a small, family-run husky farm, where you will meet an enthusiastic pack of sled dogs before setting off on a self-driven husky sled journey across the snow. The crisp air, the quiet wilderness and the steady rhythm of the dogs create an unforgettable Arctic experience.

The Finnish sauna tradition

You will also experience one of Finland’s most cherished traditions: the sauna. On the shores of Lake Äkäslompolo, relax in a traditional wood-fired sauna before taking an invigorating dip in icy waters, followed by warming fires and hot drinks.

Time to choose your own adventure

There is also a day where you can choose your own rhythm. You may opt for further adventure such as skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing or snowmobiling, or simply stay close to the cabin, enjoying the sauna, resting by the fire or taking a quiet walk in the snow.

A final journey into the forest

On our final full day, we journey together on traditional forest skis to reach a remote Finnish lodge. Here we gather for another sauna and lake dip, followed by yoga and a traditional meal prepared by our local hosts.

A week of stillness, adventure and connection

This retreat brings together Arctic landscapes, daily yoga with Laura, Finnish sauna traditions, and moments of quiet reflection. It is an invitation to reconnect with nature, move with the rhythm of winter, and experience both the stillness and energy of life in the far north.
