“Yoga is so amazing because it trains both body and

There is so much to discover and learn! I see yoga as a tool to get through life in the best way. A training and a reminder of how we want to be towards ourselves and our surroundings in everyday life.

Malou is a behavioral scientist and coach and started yoga in 2002. She attended her first yoga teacher training in 2005, since 2007 she has been active as a yoga teacher. There have been many more educations and specializations since then. Breathing is important as well as meditation. The wish is that the class should be an opportunity to practice turning focus and attention inward.

Malou is responsible for the yoga teacher training at the studio, holds personal sessions for those who need help with stress management and breathing. She gives Reiki treatments and holds yin and hatha / meditation classes.

“On the mat, you meet yourself as you are”

I have a background as a dancer and discovered yoga after an injury. Not only did I get physically healthy but I also had to face challenges mentally / mentally. I got my yoga certificate in New York in 2004 and since then I have practiced and further trained in both mysofascial yin yoga, yoga for children, ayurveda, sivananda, ashtanga and kundalini yoga.

On the mat you meet yourself as you are, your prestige, your joy, your resistance and everything in between. Yoga and meditation are my anchor, my mirror, my shadow and also my spiritual development and challenge. Yoga carries me when everything else seems to fall and holds me in its arms when I face life’s challenges. On the mat, I’m true.

You will meet Veronica as one of the head teachers in Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training 200 hours and in her classes Hatha Vinyasa.

Reiki-Master and trained in Hatha Vinyasa Yoga, Barnyoga, Yinyoga

Helena E Källgren

“I want to inspire you to let go of the pressure to performance and find your own path in life.”

I am a Hatha yoga teacher and Ayurvedic lifestyle coach who has studied in both India and Sweden.

I see yoga as a method of finding my way back to myself no matter what is happening in the world around me. My yoga practice is my way of finding the power, softness and love I need to deal with life and its challenges off the yoga mat. Although yoga seems to be primarily physical, it is also a mental and spiritual exercise. On the yoga mat I practice life.

I believe that the key to a regular yoga practice is to find what suits you best. Different individuals need different things, that approach is absolutely central in Ayurveda and yoga is a good method to listen to their body’s signals in an honest way.

Helena is in the Ayurveda part of our educations.

“Yoga is my anchor in life”

With yoga, we create space in the body to land in what is. We give ourselves the opportunity for self-reflection. Who am I, deep down? Am I my thoughts and feelings, am I my body? Or is there something deeper, beyond all experiences? Yoga has been with me since 2001, and my anchor through life along with the silent meditation.

I started teaching yoga in 2014, after attending my official Teacher Training, RYT 200, at Axelsons. My classes range from calm meditative to sweaty playful. I like to throw in a surprise asana in the middle of everything. But always with an inward focus, in what is happening right now, and what is happening in the space, between breaths, between asanas.

I am also a trained yoga masseur, acupuncturist (tcm) and Qigong instructor (Biyun).

ALSO PERSONAL TRAINER

“I want to convey the yoga tradition with a lot of warmth and compassion”

I am an economist who retrained as a functional medicine health coach to help people strengthen their health. I also run the podcast Hälsosnack med Lotta & Victoria, where we inspire a healthy lifestyle.

I came in contact with yoga in the early 2000s and fell head over heels. The flow and repetitive patterns of the Ashtanga sequence made my mind finally calm down.

I think it’s amazing how Ashtanga yoga can be adapted to the students’ conditions. As a yoga teacher, I try to convey the yoga tradition with a lot of warmth and compassion. To be a guide for good technology and at the same time give students space for their own experience.

“The yoga room is open to everyone and yoga is always practiced based on your conditions and needs”

My yoga journey began sometime in the early 2000s and has had its ups and downs. Although the first meeting was not a resounding success, I returned to yoga again and again.

After being diagnosed with rheumatism, without slowing down and making the necessary lifestyle changes to feel good in life, finally came a turning point where a change became inevitable. In connection with that, I picked up yoga again and pretty soon I also started the journey towards becoming a teacher myself.

For me, yoga helps me to peel off everything that is not important to get in and get in touch with what is actually true, both my foundation and my wings. On the yoga mat, I learn not to give up but also to allow myself to back off and rest when I need to.

In my teaching, I want to convey that the yoga room is open to everyone and yoga is practiced based on your conditions and needs. There is room for both seriousness and laughter and it is you who shapes your yoga. I want to guide you so that you feel safe, both to dare to explore new things, but also to choose to give up and rest in what is.

“Everyone can do yoga!”

I love and am passionate about yoga and therefore I want to share it with others. I want to make yoga accessible to everyone because everyone can do yoga! Yoga is so much more than its physical positions. It balances our senses and calms the brain. My interest in yoga was really aroused in 2017 when I needed an anchor during a period when a lot changed in my life. In the beginning of 2020, I went to Goa in India to train at Ashiyana’s Yoga Teacher Training in Hatha yoga (200 hr). I have also been a mindfulness instructor since December 2019.

For me, yoga has been a lot about expanding beyond the mental limitations that we humans place on ourselves as well as broadening my views and my mind.

For me, the purpose is to invite to a permissive space where you can be just like you are in the class. It’s your moment. We are all here to learn about ourselves and our inner self and yoga is a great tool in that journey.
