Founder, Teacher, Author

Peter Sterios

PETER STERIOS is an inner explorer. Drawn to yoga as a young man, he studied intensively with a master teacher for 20 years. At 39, Peter broke his back, facing an invasive surgery with no guarantees. With no outward path to rely on, or the physical practices he had learned, Peter went inward. There, he found new teachers: Gravity & Grace.

Peter has been part of the global yoga community for over four decades as a teacher, author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is the founder of MANDUKA™, creator of LEVITYoGA™, taught yoga at the Obama White House for 3 years, and spoke as a wellness expert at the Pentagon for the US Marine Corps in 2018. His first DVD “Gravity & Grace” made Yoga Journal’s “Top 15 Yoga Videos of All Time.”

Peter’s book “Gravity & Grace: How to Awaken Your Subtle Body and the Healing Power of Yoga” is Nautilus Book Award’s 2019 Gold Medal Winner, selected from over 500 entries.

This Retreat If Your Craving:

A Northern Lights season experience and a deeper, sacred-sites journey through Iceland, guided by a true local
(30+ years on the island), not a tourist checklist

A nervous system downshift through all-levels yoga and guided meditation grounded, accessible, and never performative

Luxury and ease: chef-prepared meals, beautiful accommodations, and logistics handled so you can fully exhale

A small, social, laugh-y cohort (20 people) where connection happens naturally, no forced sharing, no “woo” pressure

This is ideal for you if you’ve been “fine” for a long time...successful on the outside, but carrying decision fatigue, tight shoulders, and the sense that life has felt a bit too hard. You want to return home with more energy, more peace, and a steadier inner baseline.

Accommodations

Hvammvík Hot Springs

For four nights, we’ll live at Hvammsvík, an extraordinary hot springs retreat where the water meets the sea. Eight natural pools, geothermal steam, and wild Whale Fjord views make it feel like Iceland’s best-kept secret. Add chef-prepared meals, an on-property bistro, and the kind of quiet that resets you fast.

Arnarstopi Hotel

Hotel Arnarstapi is a rugged-luxe basecamp on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula just steps from dramatic cliffs and sea air, with a cozy on-site restaurant serving local food. It’s the kind of place where you fall asleep to quiet and wake up ready for black-sand magic.

Fosshotel Reykholt

Fosshotel Reykholt is a romantic countryside hideaway with an on-site spa, outdoor hot/cold tubs, sauna, steam bath made for deep recovery after a big day of exploring. Cozy, calm, and quietly upscale, with a restaurant perfect for ending the night well-fed and restored.

A Note About Weather & Itinerary

Iceland’s beauty comes with a bit of unpredictability, especially October, when daylight is limited and weather can change quickly. We’ve created a thoughtful itinerary, but we may adjust along the way to stay safe and make the most of the experience.

No matter the route, it will be incredible. We’re traveling with one of Iceland’s most trusted local guides, and you’ll be in expert hands every step of the way.
