An organized hippie who likes to inspire and spread happiness
Jivamukti Yoga teacher, certified 800 hours, and an Ayurvedic massage therapist living with my boyfriend and our daughter in Gothenburg on the westcoast of Sweden. I offer dynamic yoga classes open to students of all levels. Also private classes, online classes, retreats, workshops and yoga for a wide range of events. I enjoy to guide, teach and act as a connecting link to transfer the teachings of yoga I have gained, on to others in a safe and sound way. Book a yoga class!
I love the Ayurvedic philosophy of life and the massages I have learned from my Indian teacher are great tools. Book your Ayurvedic massage here.
In 2012 at Blue Spirit Retrat Center, Costa Rica I did my first Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training, and 2018 at Jivamukti Yoga School in Barcelona I did Jivamukti Teacher Apprenticeship Program, JTAP, with my mentor Maria Macaya. I have also learnt techniques in kriya, pranayama and meditation from the classical Hatha Yoga tradition (Swami Satyananda linage). I very much enjoy to explore different ways of communication, and I was working for over a decade with advertising as a project manager.
For me Jivamukti Yoga was love at first sight. I loved the fact that the method includes so much of the yoga tradition. We chant mantras, we do a vigorous vinyasa practice, we explore yoga philosophy, we have a long savasana in the end and we do meditation practice - all in one class. The fact that this method is based on a tradition passed on from teacher to student in an unbroken chain, with many well educated yoga teachers standing around me, makes me feel proud and safe to be part of this lineage. Through the art of yoga, I wish to facilitate development for others as well for myself - let’s go mutually beneficial!
I bow down to all the teachers who so generously share their knowledge and whom I have had the privilege to learn from. Special gratitude goes to Sharon Gannon & David Life, the co-founders of Jivamukti Yoga, my TT facilitators Yogeswari Azahar & Jules Febre and my mentor in Barcelona, Maria Macaya.
