Preparing the shala for a new season 🌿

For me, preparing the yoga shala before a new semester is always a little ritual and a ceremony.

A proper deep clean, scrubbing and rinsing every mat, washing the floors, refreshing the props and cleansing the space with sage. Clearing out the old and making space for a fresh beginning.

My private garden yoga shala is ready again, with small, intimate groups and space for personal attention.

I’m so looking forward to welcoming familiar faces back and hopefully some new ones to ✨🙏🏼✨

Yoga classes for all levels. Come as you are.

If you’d like to join, send me a message. See you soon 💋

The key that unlocks the door to a world transformed. When you change the lens through which you view life, the entire universe shifts before your eyes. So if you want to change your world, start by changing your perspective.

There is a saying that “What you see is what you get” and it’s true!
So become aware of how you see. If there is lack, judgement and fear, you can shift your focus and instead look from a place of abundance, potential and love. Than watch how your world transforms 💫

This is such a powerful time of transition 💫
It’s time to let go and surrender to change. To become comfortable in the discomfort of impermanence and soften into our being state. For me that means doing less and slowing everything down.
To honor home, family, self care and soul nourishment 🌿🍃🍂🍁

Reflections from H O M E 🌿
I’m filled with gratitude being surrounded by the beauty of Northern Norway and the profound heritage it holds.
I am so inspired by my ancestors and their wisdom and connection to this land. How they’ve managed to live in and of the land when most of the year is dark and freezing. The climate here can be unforgiving, but Nature is also so abundant with the cleanest air, water and soil.

I’m amazed how my grandparents manage to start over with nothing (but a whole bunch of kids) after they were forced to evacuate northern Norway during the war.
They watched everything they had be burned to the ground as they left and less than a year later returning to start rebuilding their homes and the infrastructure that was destroyed.

To keep their memory alive and pass on their knowledge is as important for my generation as it is for the future ones.

I honor my roots and the history this place in the northernness part of Norway holds. May there be guardians of this precious legacy for generations to come.

Thank you dear friends and family for making our visit to Norway so special 🌿🙏🏼

I recently got back from a retreat in the Portuguese mountains together with my soul brother @dankeightley who I haven’t seen in five years.
A week filled with so much laughter, love and pure joy. It was the perfect setting to work with the mushroom medicine, fully emerged in Nature and togetherness ❤️

It was exactly what I needed!
To be able to laugh so hard at the the human experience and how we take it so seriously. When in reality nothing is personal, because the person is not real.

When you can distance yourself from the stories of the mind, the labeling and the preconceived ideas. Look at everything through the eyes of God (eagles perspective), it becomes crystal clear. That you can’t change what’s happened, but you can change how you relate to it.

Thank you my angel Dan for playing with me. I love you so much ❤️

This last month has been full of contrast for me. From the most heart opening, beautiful and creative moments, to the really testing and challenging times. Where one thing after the other was failing, falling apart or giving up. All things that were completely out of my hands and nothing I could “fix”
I’ve been feeling stuck, powerless and blocked.

After a full release (sobbing) more or less the whole day on lunar eclipse I twas able to embrace letting go of trying to be in control and surrender to it with no resistance. Trusting that everything happens for a reason .

It felt like such a relief, were I could relax into it all and except what was and what is as part of my life experience and life lessons.

It’s often the hardest of times where the biggest growth and awakenings happen 🔥

Deep gratitude for the teachings and inspiration dearest Doña Maria Galindo @mariagalindoruiz 🙏🏼

FIRE KEEPER MODULE II was all about diagnosing and reading the energy of a space, a property, the land and the belongings (physical objects).

Everything is energy in movement, but sometimes it can get stagnant and stuck. By using a pendulum we are able to read and diagnose the energy and the spirit of the space (or object). With the element of fire (smudging) we help the energy to move again, to transform and transmute. With the element of water together with purifying herbs we cleanse and clean the energetic field to bring clarity and healing 💧🌿
We were 21 fire keepers that collectively did a cleanse in a beautiful old property in Turcifal. A powerful experience were you could feel the shift in energy before and after the cleanse.

Thank you also to Ines @yellowsmileystar for keeping this Mayan tradition alive and growing here in Portugal.

I have so much love for all the incredible fire keepers I have met on this path.
You are all bringing so much light and healing to the world ❤️

In Lak’ech Ala K’in ~ I am the other you 🔥

Every day we wake up to a new version of ourselves. Even if it feels like nothing has changed, we keep evolving all the time. The question we need to ask ourselves is
- Am I becoming a better version of my self or not?

Never give up on yourself, you can utilize every day to learn from life so tomorrow you are a little bit wiser and a better version of yourself than you were yesterday 🌿

Happy spring equinox and blessed new moon 🌸🌙
My heart is so full after this day of celebration. Spring is finally here! The days are longer and brighter. Nature is bursting into bloom season and life force energy is strong.
I hope and pray that all of humanity can feel the joy of this season. If you’re not that’s ok, maybe you are a late bloomer or maybe you need some extra love, care and nourishment to be able to blossom in your authentic expression. Everything in its right time and you can’t hurry the process. Just trust that everything happens for a reason, when you’re ready the joyful spring will start to blossom in your heart 🌸
Thank you @yellowsmileystar for bringing fire keepers together in ceremony every month on the 21st, today was extra special with the equinox and new moon landing on the same day.
If anyone wants to join you are all welcome 🙏🏼

Every time when I go on my yoga mat it’s a unique experience. How I show up and what I bring with me energetically doesn’t matter, the experience is always healing and gives me exactly what I need.

Today I had company on my mat.
Oh my goodness, I’m amazed by the healing power of love that animals hold. They make you feel so loved and they bring you into presence. Unconditional love overflow ❤️
Just imagine if humans greeted each other the same. With so much love and excitement, and with no judgment or fear.

Going through menopause has been a big wake-up call for me to learn to embrace impermanence and change. In my thirties I gave birth to three children and now (in my late forties) it feels like I’m both giving birth and being born to a new version of myself.

It’s hard to embrace getting older. At times I feel so ungrounded and unfamiliar both in body and mind. Like I’m swirling around in a vortex where I don’t know where I’m gonna end up.

I’ve been through some hard times in my life where I felt like I was going to lose myself.
Looking back I know that when I think I can’t, I can!

I know that change is harder when I don’t embrace it. So I keep reminding myself to let go of what was and trust in what’s coming. Like a graceful dance between death and rebirth ➰
