OVERVIEW

MOVE+MANIFEST

Besides daily yoga classes, our MOVE+MANIFEST retreats offers a series of mindful workshops that will guide you in the exploration of creative self-expression in your life. We will have meaningful discussions and fun activities intended to help you tap into your own inner wisdom and heartfelt desires. And between the beauty of Iceland and the serenity of the landscape, the atmosphere will surely ignite your being with an energy perfect for the creative process.  

Some of what to expect from the workshops:

• Energizing & clarifying your dreams
• Connecting with others and this world on a deeper level
• Discovering powerful creative tools for the subconscious using journals, images, affirmations
• Boosting awareness of yourself and how you’re creating your life
• Changing the stories and beliefs holding you back from having exactly what you want!

GIVE BACK RETREAT

This retreat is part of our GIVE BACK initiative, where EPM will donate at least 10% of profits to a humanitarian partner in the community where each retreat is held. 

HOTEL

Our home for the week will be a stay in the hub of the Icelandic culture and capital city of Reykjavik. We'll stay at a beautiful hotel in the center and get a wonderful relaxing welcome to this amazing country, where we'll have front row seats to the food, art, and history of the "land of fire and ice". CenterHotel Plaza provides the comfort and the location to enjoy all that Reykjavik city center has to offer. The hotel is situated next to Ingolfstorg the main square in the heart of the old city making it the perfect setting for your stay in Reykjavik with a wide variety of restaurants, cafés, shopping, art galleries, museums and nightlife right at your doorstep. With modern rooms and amenities, guests will enjoy a comfortable stay overlooking the city with our yoga classes and workshops held on-site.

CUISINE

Healthful, vegetarian food is part of the retreat experience, including breakfast and dinner daily, as well as selected lunches. We've carefully chosen delicious and fresh meals from renowned restaurants and chefs which will give guests an expansive experience of the cuisine. Our dinners will include a few multi-course tasting menus at the city's renowned restaurants emphasizing honest, healthy and delicious Icelandic food - some with world class views!

SURROUNDING AREA

Our day trips will allow us to experience the many unique landscapes and activities that this area has to offer. We will take a tour through Iceland's famous Golden Circle, which will include the three primary stops on the route: the national park Þingvellir, the waterfall Gullfoss (meaning "golden falls"), and the geothermally active valley of Haukadalur, which contains the geysers Geysir and Strokkur, which continue to erupt at every 5-10 minutes interval. We will also spend a day in the capital city of Reykjavik to explore some sites, take a walking tour, have some free-time to shop, see more of the Icelandic design, or relax before our dinner in town! A day in the village of Hveragerði will allow guests to see more of this thermal water captial and even visit various sites and thermal parks. And a trip to Iceland wouldn't be complete without a day at the Blue Lagoon with its healing waters, silica masks, unparalleled views, and overall spa experience!

YOGA

Daily yoga classes will be offered in a way to relax, stimulate, and help guests grow in their own personal practice and prepare bodies and minds for the personal development done in the manifest workshops. Classes are open to all levels, beginner to practiced, and are a daily 60-75 minute vinyasa flow style rooted in the Ashtanga lineage. Depending on each retreat location, classes will be held in a dedicated indoor yoga space and some also offer outdoor options as well for us to use if the weather is agreeable. 

MOVE+MANIFEST retreats feature yoga classes and life-coaching workshops by our collaborator, Michelle Lee. After leading a successful 13-year career in the corporate world, Michelle transitioned her career into a life & financial consultant, retreat organizer & leader, and internationally certified yoga instructor - following her passions and sharing this with others around the globe.
