About organizer

Since young she wants to know more about herself…

She starts to learn Massage and after that a lot of new tools for the body and the soul come to her path. She is a searcher.

In 2001, she graduated in Ayurvedic Massage. Later she took the first level of Sound Massage with tibetan bowls by the method Peter Hess. In 2008 she learned Kundalini Massage in India.

She is a international certified Yoga Teacher, Aerial Yoga Teacher.

In 2012 she decided to take a Teacher Training of 200h in Tantra Yoga with Tri Dosha Method, India. After that the Movement like Medicine becomes her tool, for her and also for the others. She believes that the Movemente never lies. On that time Norway was her home and she starts to teach there. Soon she felt passion for teaching.

Studing, Searching forever: Yoga, Aerial, Breathwork, Vinyasa Flow, Dance, Afro Dance, Water Movement, Palnts … and everything that she felts that works for her.

The Movement comes to heal her body. (Long story for another time).

She works together with nature, together with Elements.

Her classes are dynamic, sometimes stronger, sometimes more restorative, but always connected with the breath and respecting each body, each structure.

The body is the Map, the Breath is the Guide.

Introduction

Teacher Training Aerial Vinyasa with Elements October 28 to 2 of November. 2024
This course is designed for Yoga teachers and for Students who would like to learn and expand their knowledge and practice / teach Aerial Vinyasa Yoga.

Aerial Vinyasa Yoga with elements its a training that combines Yoga, Vinyasa, Conscious Movement, Dance, Movement in Water and Restorative practices.

The Elements also will guide the practice: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit.

We recall that what’s exists in the macro also exists in the micro.

What makes Nature also exists in our body. We are Nature.

The presence of the elements helps us to connect in a deeper, more conscious and therapeutic way.

Practicing with the silk consciously, together with breathing helps to create space in the body, to relax deeply, to activate many parts of the body, to play, to dance, to face fears, to find our movement and Feel.

This Training is a Fusion between the Body, the Breath, the Movement, the Elements and the Silk.
