Hello Summer 2012 !!

Another Summer is here to warm our hearts. <3 Being very busy with teaching yoga and dance and developing many things I haven't been too active with writing what's up. Now, finally it's time again. This month kick-started the summertime outdoor non-profit community yoga classes in Helsinki. This year, we're going bigger; there are more of us teachers participating and there are more weekly classes held on a regular basis. Last year I had one happy class in Kaivopuisto park, this time I'll have plenty more! If you are in Helsinki, don't miss it - the atmosphere is just lovely and you'll end up leaving with a grateful body and a big happy smile on your face. Check out the info and pics:

BIDE - Barcelona International Dance Exchange
This month I had an amazing opportunity to participate a highly artistically exploring and super inspiring contemporary dance festivity in Barcelona, Spain. 42 Dance artists from over 20 countries came together for 5 days of co-work in form of labs and performance. Basically, we were doing a 6-hour research  each day on a question or a theme in smaller groups and at the end of the day, we all came together to share with each other what each group had found. I cannot explain how magnificent it was! Check out photos etc. at the fb site: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Barcelona-International-Dance-Exchange-BIDE/151430468285375
I'm Definitively going again next year 2013! <3 Thank You BIDE!!

Happy New Year!
It's 2012, guys!
Like I mentioned earlier, I have good news for the people wanting to practice yoga regularly with me. This spring I'll be giving weekly classes at the beautiful Studio Yin in Helsinki http://www.studioyin.com/ . I am blessed to join the highly skilled crew and to give a soothing and meditative yin-yoga class every Sunday at 18-20.30, Pilates on Tuesdays at 17-18 and a dynamic and sweaty hot Vinyasa Flow class at 18.30-20.
Also, I'll start a Friday Hot Flow yoga class at Esport Center Espoo at 16.30-17.45. http://www.esport.fi Loads of sweating and fun with arm balances coming up, as well as calming down to give space and recognize the True You. So grab your flying carpet also known as yoga mat and get your butt there!


And for my dancers: tomorrow at 18.45 we'll kick start the Lyrical jazz...Come and float to beautiful sounds!! <3

Back in Finland
What a beautiful home coming I've had!! I feel very blessed being welcomed back home to a lot of exciting work opportunities...:)


As a member of a non-profit yoga community organization HIMAjooga I was one of the teachers giving a totally free of charge online class. Stay tuned- the video will soon appear at http://himajooga.com/ and then you can do the practice in your own living room. Now how fun is that! :) That's what I love about yoga -everyone can do it and feel great, now even if you don't have the chances to participate a common class. All you need is an open mind and the rest will come. The practice is taught in Finnish but no worries, you can still give it a go!


As a dance artist, I've worked on some short video clips that'll also be out soon. I am currently working on a contemporary solo and enjoying the process full to the max.


As a dance teacher I'll continue at http://helsingintanssiopisto.fi . It's showtime every Thursday as I take over the Kasarmintori's show dance classes and Latin mix between 16.45-21.15. A lot of moving and jammin' coming up:) And all jazz lovers: don't miss Lyrical Jazz with me every Friday at 18.45 starting on January. 90 heavenly minutes time to float and be lyrical...Register now, it's a brand new class so don't wait with booking your spot!


Also - as a yoga teacher I might soon have good news for those yogi's awaiting me to get my own weekly classes. Substituting in several places I get that questioning a lot. Well guess what - the waiting should be over in no time from now! I'll be sure to post more info about this during the following days or weeks, as soon as i get things confirmed. Hold on there and stay tuned!


In case you are wondering about something, don't hesitate to write me an email and i'll answer your questions.


I wish all of you wonderful readers a very merry Christmas!! Enjoy the holidays :)
