Wood.

A small tremor, a subtle purr. Suddenly something wants to move, and from that movement everything moves.

Up and out, directionality and decisiveness. A tiny yes sprouts into an opening. An opening that fills with newness, that emerges itself into being. That being:ness is changing the old into the new.

Spring feels like a restart, especially this year. For me, changes are happening in every corner of life. The hardest part is to let go of my old ways of relating to the world from a solo, introverted and tucked away place. To choose different than the usual ways of resisting action due to the fear of not being enough, being judged or getting it completely wrong.

The wood season is growth. And I find it true as they say, we grow through what we go through. So I rather go through it and experience the movement, than not.

Thank you, friends at Jade Yoga, for supporting this beginning. 🌿

I’ve fallen in love with the Fusion mat. It’s thick, soft, made for the slowness of yin and restorative. A dream for sensitive knees and long holds. And knowing that every mat plants a tree 🌳 felt right in my belly.

Something new is here. I made it for you.

Yin & Restore is now on YouTube. 🤍
A home for yin, restorative, yoga nidra, and nervous system support.

Born from a decade of listening; to students, to the practice, to what’s needed in the world we live in. A vision to make this practice more accessible. And most of all, make connection more available.

Come in.

The most important phase of change is the one no one sees.

Right now we’re on the bridge between winter and spring — the quietest phase of the year. The most yin.

The silent vibration of a seed deciding to sprout… Completely still… until it isn’t.
Life forming itself into being, in the unseen.

Outside, the air is slowly shifting. Nature slowly remembering herself. She comes back to expression however long the winter. Again, again — without hurry.

And the same thing happens inside us.
Every time we move through change —
when something new is forming within what once was.

It can feel confusing — like nothing is happening, and everything is happening at once.

In Taoist philosophy, this in-between phase is considered the most crucial. For letting life settle. That space of “nothing” is needed for something to take form.

In my work with yin yoga and the nervous system, I see how important these phases of silence are. Transformation rarely happens in the visible moment — it forms slowly beneath the surface.

The nothing phase is not empty. It’s full of becoming. I’m sitting with this myself right now.

Are you in a bridge phase too?

If you feel drained by life or burned out, chances are your Zhi is asking for your attention.

In Chinese medicine, Zhi is the spirit of the Kidneys. It’s often translated as “will,” but not in the push-through, hustle sense. Zhi is the deep, instinctual will to live — the inner drive to survive, to grow, to keep going even when things feel dark.

It’s similar to the root chakra in that it governs our sense of safety, stability, and basic aliveness. In yogic philosophy, it mirrors Iccha Shakti — the fundamental desire to exist. To be here.

When I felt like I was sinking in a dark, bottomless ocean, what anchored me was remembering Zhi. What feels like emptiness is also potential, like the void after death and before birth.

“In the healing process, the transformation that is a prerequisite for the return to wholeness and health takes place in the underground realm of the zhi.”
— Lorie Dechar

Zhi lives in that depth. It’s the bridge between the self and the infinite — the place where something new begins forming long before we can see it.

According to TCM, we will be in the winter season until the spring equinox. For me, this winter has been wintering hard on all levels. What is it like for you?

🌑 Where are you being invited to trust what’s happening beneath the surface?

Winter gives you the silence you need to listen; it goes gray so you can see your own colors.

Reading these words by Terri Guillemets made me wanna share again. From no other place than what’s here, spontaneously and unmasked. Nope, it’s not easy to find ground under feet after moving constantly for 12 weeks. From Bali to Stockholm, Lapland, Ohio, Florida, Costa Rica, Guatemala and back to the us. The last place on earth I thought I’d stay for longer, especially these messed up political times.

I’m tired of AI captions. I’m tired of swimming in a sea of selling points. Still bruised by last year and Ive felt muted for so long, freeing my word again is a real process. Stepping out and being in the world is a process. And I’m realising this is a winter phase.

This is water - the most Yin and the birthplace of Yang. Water tells us that renewal is possible but it can only come through a decent into darkness. It cannot be forced through the personal will and its timing is not under conscious control. Winter is the season of faith.

It’s a time to reach down into the deepest reservoirs of our being, to trust that in this darkness there is a seed preparing to sprout, a hidden vitality waiting to activate, a potency that transforms will into wisdom, fear into fierce and dedicated courage, and not knowing into timely, skillful and effective action in the coming spring.

Thank you for still being here.
When the time is right we will meet in practice together. I can’t wait to share yoga with you again. 🤍

Redirection, redefinition and reevaluation. The season of Metal is ending, it starts around the Autumnal Equinox and lasts until the Winter Solstice. In traditional Chinese medicine, the metal element is connected the lungs and the large intestine. Letting go, surrender, release - to clear space for new life. Death and grief lives side by side as a direct invitation to a new newness. To be more direct: crisis equals opportunity.

What helps me right now is to connect daily with little things that bring hope and allow space as a healing remedy. I’m reading an incredible book that touches my heart and makes my tears flood on a daily basis. If you want to receive the medicine of appreciating life through understanding death, I highly recommend this one (last pic).

May you transition softly into more earthy times.

The year of the snake, huh? The last few months have been devastating to a degree I am yet not able to express. What stays when everything leaves? That I am learning.

I lost my home, my job, my community and the place on earth where I was building my dream life. I’ve been silent here for about 6 months. It wasn’t safe for me to exist on social media. Moving through the integration phases of grief is not a linear process, but I’m slowly learning to love what is here knowing that change is the only pillar of steadiness. Honestly, the hardest part was to cancel my training in November. The hardest part was to choose my own safety over showing up for my students. It still hasn’t landed in my heart and I know it will take time. And those of you who were affected - I am so deeply sorry it had to be that way.

We take walks in afternoons under a different sky where the air feels clear in a new way. Adjusting, trusting. There is no other way. Home is yet undefined, yet what I am longing for right now is for the words to return, for poetry to caress my world once again.

Thank you for still being here. 🤍

Late summer invites us back to center. The energy spirals in the middle, like life itself churning. 🌀 In TCM this is the season of the Earth element — connected to the Stomach + Spleen meridians, our ability to digest food, experiences, and emotions.

Yin reminds us that digestion is more than what happens in the belly. It’s how we ground, receive, and integrate.

Right now, I’m traveling in Iceland with my mother.. a land of majestic wilderness and the most spacious, calm landscapes I’ve ever seen. In awe of mountains, lava fields, waterfalls, still waters, and the lush green moss - full of secrets born from patience. Just as moss quietly absorbs moisture and transforms it into fertile ground, our bodies in yin become receptive: drinking in stillness, nourishing the tissues, and restoring balance. ✨🌱

This September I’ll be guiding a 50hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Stockholm — a deep dive into the philosophy and practice of Yin, the wisdom of the elements, and the art of holding space.

Last 4 spaces!

Hello heart, fire season and all of that.

When do you reach for connection? Could it be so that the background rhythm of all acts of reaching towards - is the longing for belonging? In my first ytt many many years ago, we spend the first hour before sunset on meditating on the heart. Every day for a month…to bring the awareness back to the heart, again and again. I came to this training being completely burnt out and this practice was quite challenging for me.

Back to the heart, again and again. Something started to shift for me. To connect with and listen to that vast space of boundless wisdom opened doors to truth and being with truth, my body started to relax.

The heart is the starting point of everything, and the space where everything recoils, transforms and re-emerges. The heart.

Akasha Hridaya

The spiritual heart, way beyond the physical heart. The governor. The bridge. The empty space. The all encompassing heart.

The heart is constantly resonating with life and responding with truth. We know that the inner experiences felt through the heart changes. We know it can hold paradoxes, all and nothing at the same time. Today, my heart feels tender and whispers a melody of calming waters, soft sun-stroked grasses and the effortless joy of play for no reason.

How’s your heart? ♥️
What is it asking for?
Connection? Boundaries? Space?
