Kadermo Retreat

Kadermo Retreat Yoga retreat in Finland with Stefan Engstrom - Authorized Level II. Teaching Ashtanga Yoga, Yin Yoga, Pranayama Anatomy and Psychosynthesis.

Kadermo Ashtanga Yoga Retreat - Our beautiful island Kadermo is a place where you can spend your holiday and renew yourself. Here people come together from all over the world to practice yoga and conscious self development. During your spare time you can enjoy the beautiful surrounding nature. You can try swimming in the sea or even go canoeing. Indoors, you can enjoy a coffee in our coffee shop a

nd also relax in the sauna. In the summer season from June to August you can come to stay for a week, two weeks or as long as you like up to several months. You could also join us just for a weekend workshop. However, if possible, we recommend that you stay 2-3 weeks or longer in order for you to benefit the most from your experience. Of course, the longer you stay the more economical it is for you. During the rest of the year we arrange monthly weekend workshops. Also, longer retreats (5 days or longer) are held during Easter holidays, Christmas and other long holidays. Additionally, outside the summer period, there is teaching in Helsinki. Please contact me if you are interested. All levels are welcome. Also complete beginners!

There are places that can truly support the practice.

Less noise.
More space.

A supportive structure.
Knowledgeable guidance.
The warmth of like-minded souls.

A rhythm shaped by the sea, the forest, and the day itself.

Even a retreat of a few days can be enough to reconnect.

Kadermo is shaped by continuity.

Since 1994, retreats have been held on this island under the guidance of Stefan Engström, whose own path in meditation began in 1985 and in Ashtanga Yoga in 1990.

Long before yoga became widely known in Finland,
before mats, clothing, or studios were part of everyday culture,
the practice was already being lived here.

Simply, steadily, and with depth.

What is passed on is not belief or ideology,
but a way of practicing that supports clarity, responsibility, and self-knowledge.

Yoga at Kadermo is experiential.
It is about learning through direct experience,
meeting the body, the breath, and the mind as they are.

This is how the practice has been held for over thirty years,
and how it continues today.

We wish you a beautiful start of the 2026 and hope to see you at the island this year!

Wishing you all a peceful independence Day! 💙

As Finland celebrates its independence,
may we each find our own way to return to stillness,
to stand gently in who we are,
and to honor the inner freedom that this practice cultivates in us.

Wishing you a peaceful day from our island sanctuary.

Kadermo is on it's winter rest now, waiting for spring to unfold again.

As the days grow colder, it feels beautiful to return to these memories from last summer at Kadermo Retreat. 🌿

Light on the water. Energetic mornings in the shala. Practice unfolding in its own rhythm.

Smiles and moments of presence that still live in the body.

Thank you for being part of the island’s heartbeat.

Our next retreat will open the season again at Easter — we look forward to welcoming you back to Kadermo!
