Who We Are
Dóttir is a boutique wellness studio in the heart of Nordhavn, Copenhagen, founded in 2018 by Karen Halldórsdóttir. A beautifully designed space built around the power of movement, community, and heat, offering Hot Yoga and Pilates classes along with Red Light Therapy sessions for a modern wellness experience.
A place to move with intention, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with yourself and others. At the core of Dóttir's concept is a simple belief: when you feel grounded in your body, you become better equipped to handle everything life brings.
With classes for all levels and moods — from Divine Yin, to their signature Empowering Vinyasa and Sculpt & Tone Hot Pilates — you'll step into a wellness experience powered by both science and soul. The studio is heated using infrared technology, the most beneficial heating method for yoga and pilates practice, and complemented by Red Light Therapy, creating a space where two powerful therapies work together to restore and recharge the body inside and out.
Behind Dóttir is a team of experienced, internationally trained teachers who bring genuine depth and expertise to every class. Alongside the regular schedule, the studio offers 200-hour Yoga and Pilates Teacher Trainings, welcoming students from around the world, and establishing Dóttir as one of Copenhagen's leading wellness hubs.
Why We Implemented Red Light Therapy
At Dóttir, we consider recovery an important part of the practice. Hot Yoga and Pilates ask a lot of the body - heat, strength, deep stretching, repeated effort. Without recovery, progress stalls, and with it, everything improves.
That is why we integrated Red Light Therapy in our concept. While our infrared heat works from the outside in, warming the muscles, loosening the joints, preparing the body for movement, Red Light Therapy works from the inside out, at a cellular level. Together, they create something more complete: a practice that builds you up and helps you recover in equal measure.
RedLightMed's Smart Max panels deliver targeted wavelengths clinically shown to reduce inflammation, accelerate muscle recovery, support circulation, and promote deep restoration — everything a body in regular, heat-based practice needs to perform at its best, session after session.
We were also drawn to the wide range of benefits this therapy offers, such as: supporting skin health and collagen production, boosting energy levels and mental clarity, regulating mood and sleep — particularly relevant through the darker Scandinavian months — and strengthening the immune system. Benefits that go far beyond the mat, and that speak directly to our community that takes their overall wellbeing seriously.
The Concept Behind the Experience
To bring Red Light Therapy into the studio, Karen invested in 12 RedLightMed Smart Max panels through a dedicated B2B partnership built to match the scale and ambition of the space.
In order to fit seamlessly within the studio's clean, minimalist interior, RedLightMed developed a custom wall mount solution, allowing all 12 panels to sit side by side along the wall without being intrusive and compromising the aesthetic of the room.
How Our Members Engage With It
We designed two ways for our members to experience Red Light Therapy at Dóttir:
Dedicated 10-Minute RLT Sessions
A short, focused pause where your body does the work on its own. These standalone sessions offer the most direct and concentrated exposure to RedLightMed's technology — ideal for recovery days or as an add-on after class.
RLT-Enhanced Yoga & Pilates Classes
For those who want to weave the benefits seamlessly into their practice, selected classes incorporate red light in short, intentional cycles during warm-up or cool-down. Combined with our infrared heat, it creates a layered therapeutic experience — two powerful tools working in harmony to restore and recharge the body from the inside out.
