I am a Danish Bay Area, California based teacher, registered with Yoga Alliance (ERYT200, RYT500, YACEP) and FRC. With more than 750 hrs education and 17 years of practice under my belt, I have trained, amongst others, in the Hatha tradition with Shane Davies, Smart Flow with Annie Carpenter and am a qualified Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist with FRC. Always seeking a deeper understanding of yoga and movement, I am continuously adding to my training and knowledge. I have been lucky to teach all over the world and have had the pleasure of working with clients ranging from pro-athletes to 75 year old retirees… and everything in between!
Although Danish born and raised, my yoga journey started over a decade ago whilst living in England, as a means to counteract the impact, years of high level horse riding had on my body. A few years later, having moved to California, I discovered my talent (and obsession) for arm balances and inversions, and the road to becoming a yoga teacher became a natural development from then on.
I am an anatomy geek, I like bending the rules and challenge yoga dogma. My approach to asana is based on bio-mechanical intelligence with a focus on giving my students healthy, usable bodies… and have fun with their practice.
My teaching is about personal empowerment, developing body intelligence and creating awe, amazement and gratefulness for your own body and its capabilities. I want to give my students strong safe practices, which includes them understanding and respecting their unique body. I work from the concept that we are all our own guru: my job as a teacher is to introduce you to your own power.
