About me
I am a Yoga Alliance-certified Vinyasa yoga teacher (RYT-200) and graduate of both the Atman Yoga School and Mystica Yoga School. I'm also an entrepreneur; I work as a freelance translator and am one of the owners of Symposion, a cafe, bar, and used book and vinyl store). I divide my life between Oslo, Norway and Molyvos, Lesvos, Greece. My path to a deeper, daily yoga practice began when I joined Leela Yoga (Oslo). now Leela Gamlebyen, in 2014. In the ensuing years, yoga played a key role in helping me cope with a slew of transitions and transformations, motherhood being foremost among them.
Through both its revelational philosophy and its physical aspects, yoga has helped me tap into a level of self-acceptance, discipline, and physical strength I never before thought possible, and it is now my heartfelt wish to help others to find similar peaceful empowerment.

Offerings
ATMAN VINYASA
Developed by Jessica Winderl, Atman Vinyasa is a fluid and dynamic style of Vinyasa yoga that is supported by the wisdom of ayurveda and yoga philosophy. It incorporates creative sequencing and inspiring themes in a breath-centered, flowy practice that is kind to our individual anatomy, because “We want to be doing yoga when we’re 90!”.
MYSTICA VINYASA
Created by Tonje Næss and Kate Murphy, Mystica Vinyasa is a holistic approach to physical yoga practice based around the pagan Wheel of the Year. As the seasons change, so do we. That's why each Mystica flow focuses on what we need physically and spiritually during a particular time of year, incorporating chanting, pranayama, mudras, chakra work, and asana. Each flow embraces the cycles of nature and is specifically tailored to one of the four seasons, gently guiding the practitioner to re-align and re-connect with the rhythms of the Earth as we move through its annual transitions.
