”The Story” I was introduced to the spiritual path in 1991 The first years were focused on various forms of therapy in groups and private sessions. Out of this came the exploring of different meditations, mainly from the work of Osho. I started practise yoga in 1999 and passed through both Kundalini and Hatha Yoga before focusing on the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Today I also practise and teach Yin Yoga being inspired by Sarah Powers and Pual Grilley to enter this more quite and feminine practise. This has led me to make contact with my teacher and mentor today, Dona Holleman with whom I now study . It is a natural progress to practise and share what we learn and what we like so the above explained has become a way for me to share yoga with others. I also like to integrate the experiences from my earlier spiritual practises , being variuos meditations, insight practises ,dance and chanting and …the silence. I am teacher trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga by Alexander Medin(certified teacher of Sri K.Pattabhi Jois). I have also done several trainings with Ron Reid and Marla Meenakshi Joy of Down Ward Dog, Canada., with whom I also co – organised a retreat in Umbria in Italy in October 2007. I was introduced to Yin&Yang Yoga by Sarah and Ty Powers of Insight Yoga. In September 2007 I helped them orgainize a retreat in Umbria, Italy. My contact with Sarah has inspired to learn more also from Paul Grilley, the founder of Yin&Yang Yoga. In each teacher we have a great mirror and we are given an oppurtunity to deepen our practise on various levels. I am grateful for the teachings of Lino Miele, Petri Räisinen. Nancy Giloff and Dena&Jack from Australia. Dena being an important teacher and friend on many levels , in pregancy, being a woman , mother and also her great knowledge in Chanting, which is a great passion of mine.. Maria Boox and Lotta Bertilsson and Viveka Blom-Nygren are some of the teachers that she has practised with living in Sweden. I also had the oppurtunity to meet with TKV Desikachar and Kashtub Desikachar at several occasions in Stockholm. I have studied Yoga for Pregnancy with Elisabeth Conolly and also given birth to 3 children. ”I find each pregnancy being a deep heart opener and a spiritual journey in itself. Each child comes with a message, if we are open and willing to see it!” I have taught yoga and meditation at Yogayama, in Stockholm and also organized all retreats in Italy for them during the past 4 years. I also taught private groups nearby where I lived in Saltsjöbaden outside Stockholm. Since over 5 years I have held and organized my own retreats in various places in Italy. I am teacher trained in Mindfulnes Based Cognitive Therapy(MBCT) by Prof. Mark Williams. Being a yoga teacher at Yogayama at the time, I also had the oppurtunity to go through the 8 week program of MBCT led by my friend, and founder of Yogayama , Dr. Eva Henje Blom. I first got in touch with this way of looking at life, let´s call it Mindfulnes Awareness, already in 1991. Since then I have continously deepened my practise on my own in my own life and also with many great teachers and spiritual friends such as Premleena Wettergran, Rahasya&Nora and especially Vasant Swaha.
