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.

Do I need any vaccinations or visas?

Please check here for vaccination information. Please check here for visa information.

Can I book on my own?

Yes absolutely. We have many solo travellers on our trips. It’s a great way to make new friends.

Can you cater for my dietary requests?

Our chefs can cater for most dietary requirements, but we do need to know in advance. Please include any requests on your booking form and we will confirm in writing. You are also welcome to check with our team before booking.

Who is hosting this trip?

All of our retreats are hosted by a Reclaim retreat leader, who manages logistics and looks after the group, alongside a Reclaim yoga teacher who leads your yoga sessions. We’ll be working closely with the family who own and run our location and their trusted suppliers.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jools and Jean are a brilliant team who ensure a comfortable stay in the centre of Darjeeling. 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!

The setting

Set on the island of Langøya in the far north of the Norwegian Arctic, this five-night retreat takes place in one of Scandinavia’s most remote and beautiful coastal regions. Largely untouched by mass tourism, this is a landscape of snow-capped peaks, quiet fishing villages, deep fjords and vast open skies, shaped by the Arctic Ocean and the rhythms of nature. As winter draws closer, the pace slows, the crowds disappear, and the landscape takes on a quieter, more contemplative character.

Our Arctic home

Our home for the week is a small, family-owned collection of beautifully designed Nordic apartments overlooking the fjord. Set on a quiet stretch of coastline surrounded by mountains and sea, the red timber buildings sit right at the water’s edge, creating the feeling of a secluded Arctic hideaway.

Yoga and daily rhythm

Throughout the retreat, yoga with Nichola provides an anchor to the experience, with energising morning practices and slower evening sessions designed to help the body unwind and settle into the slower rhythm of Arctic life.

Most mornings begin with yoga overlooking the water before gathering for breakfast and heading out to explore the landscapes around us. Over the course of the week, we’ll experience the best of this remarkable corner of Norway, from scenic coastal trails and wildlife-rich fjords to dramatic viewpoints and quiet fishing communities. Each day offers a different experience, balancing exploration, rest and time to absorb the stillness of the north.

Wildlife and fjord exploration

One of the highlights of the retreat is a wildlife boat safari through the surrounding islands and fjords. Travelling by boat along this rugged coastline, we’ll search for sea eagles and marine life while passing dramatic cliffs, quiet bays and small fishing communities only accessible from the water.

Guided walks in the Arctic landscape

During the retreat, we also head out on guided walks to explore the landscapes around us. Following coastal trails and scenic viewpoints overlooking the fjords and surrounding islands, we’ll experience the ever-changing Arctic light, vast horizons and peaceful beauty that make this part of Norway so special.

Sauna by the fjord

Back at our apartments, the sauna becomes part of the daily rhythm of the week. After time spent outdoors in the crisp Arctic air, there is something deeply satisfying about warming up beside the fjord before stepping back into the cool air outside.

Time to slow down

There is also time to enjoy the surroundings at your own pace. You may choose to relax by the water, read a book while looking out across the fjord, enjoy an additional sauna session, or simply watch the changing weather move across the landscape. This is a place that rewards unhurried moments and quiet observation.
