Recharge Your Body and Mind with Light Therapy (ljusterapi) at Yoga Folks
As the dark Swedish winter arrives, it’s easy to feel your energy dip and your mood follow. Many people feel tired, low, or stuck in routine. Our sessions offers a gentle and powerful way to shift your state, naturally.
At Yoga Folks in Södermalm, Stockholm, we offer light therapy sessions that help you feel brighter, more focused, and recharged. Each session includes warmth, full-spectrum light, and a cozy, peaceful setting.
You don’t need to bring anything but yourself. Just relax in a reclining chair, soak in the warmth, and let the light do the rest. These sessions are great for everyone and especially helpful during the darker months.
From October to March, our space turns into a gentle sanctuary. Whether you’re looking for a boost of energy, better sleep, or a mental reset, light therapy can help you feel more like yourself again.
Benefits for Light Therapy
Boost Energy and Mood
Light therapy helps reset your natural rhythm. It supports your body’s energy and improves overall mood by boosting serotonin and regulating melatonin. Over time, this can help you feel clearer, lighter, and more stable, especially in winter.
Improve Sleep
Light helps regulate melatonin, the hormone that tells your body when to rest and wake. If you’re struggling with sleep, regular sessions can help restore balance and support a deeper rest.
Relieve Seasonal Depression
Many people in Sweden experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) during winter. Light therapy is a proven support for easing symptoms, improving mental clarity, and building resilience during darker months.
Support Skin and Joints
The warmth and light can also help ease joint stiffness and support skin health. Specific light wavelengths can assist with cellular healing and overall tissue repair.
Stimulate Vitamin D Production
Sunlight is a key source of Vitamin D. In winter, we don’t get enough of it. This can help your body produce this essential vitamin and support your immune system and mood.
