”The body is the temple of the divine. It is the foundation for realizing the essential oneness of everything, it is the springboard from which we can attain enlightenment” Georg Feurstein

Teacher Training is happening
Weekend 12 of 20 is happening right now here in Sweden South. It’s fun, it’s inspirational and above all very uplifting to meet again. Today we closed our day with 31 minutes of powerful mantra meditation.
Happy dreams.

Stillness Speaks
Kundalini yoga is the yoga of awareness, it’s designed to fit perfectly into our lives of work, family and daily duties. The greatest yogi is the one who lives fully with an open heart as a part of society. I have to admit I sometimes get really bored at me and my voice. Then I just feel like being a cave yogi and totally dwell into silence. Hide somewhere in silent observance of the mind. Just love to listen to stillness when it speaks. However my gift in this world is probably to be on a stage and teach, so I just keep on going as long as it’s meant to happen. Meanwhile I find stillness in my daily practice of yoga and meditation. The concept of Advaita (Non Duality) is very encouraging and uplifting for me. I am inspired to learn more about this ancient concept.

ok, where do I start digging?
“Instead of indulging in mere speculation, devote yourself here and now to the search for the Truth that is ever within you”

The key is to just get started
Sometimes I think and think and try to deepen my clarity on my life’s purpose. But thinking isn’t getting me anywhere really. I rather just get up, meditate and start moving. I have been the random trainer since Ironman Hawaii 2008. My workouts are day- to-day affairs with no rhyme or reason. Coach says that the scientific trainer is the one most likely to peak on race day. “You should build a map around your target race to be at the front”. But this lady has no race coming up anytime soon, so Intuition is my map at the moment. I’m a huge fan of following my heart, so as you wonder where to begin, my advice would be: Where ever you feel most inspired. The key is to just get started!!
Wishing you a incredible week

Still floating
Still floating – now in Algarve, Portugal for a bit of family vacation. It’s hot! So the best place to be right now is in water. I never want to leave the sea once I get in. I think I may start to grow fins.
Big hug from the Atlantic sea.

Yoga Gotland
Gotland is the largest island in the Baltic Sea. The region also includes the small island of Fårö. In this amazing place on earth I have spent a few days training and living with friends. Also taught kundalini yoga on the beautiful sandy beach.
Sunny kisses.
