At Hotel Faaborg Fjord, you can unplug and immerse yourself in a special yoga retreat with the fjord as your closest neighbour. The weekend is led by two dedicated professionals: sauna master Thomas Banche and yoga instructor Cassandra Larsen, who together create a sensual atmosphere.
The programme combines Yin and Yang yoga, meditation, breathing techniques, spa experiences and sauna sessions, helping you gradually find peace, presence and inner balance.

Sauna master
Thomas Banche
You can look forward to sauna sessions with Thomas Banche, who, with his experience as a sauna master, creates deep relaxation and balance for both body and mind. With a background as a self-employed person in a hectic everyday life, Thomas himself has felt the need for a space to unwind, and this is precisely what he conveys through his therapeutic and sensory sauna sessions.
Thomas works with essential oils, gentle drum rhythms and the scent of incense to create a holistic experience that calms, renews and brings participants closer to themselves. His calm and attentive approach makes every sauna session a safe place to find inner peace and new energy.
