"Live, love & be happy."- Jona.
Over twenty years of daily yoga and meditation have led Finnish-born "YogaJona" Jona Dahlqvist, 18 time IRONMAN competitor and 4 time Hawaii Ironman World Championship finalist, to find success as an international yoga teacher and to make yoga her true passion in life.
Her professional specialisation is yoga tailor-made for athletes, with particular focus on mental skills training for sports. Having lived with yoga and meditation as part of her daily routine since 1992, Jona now uses yoga as a complement to her own triathlon training, as well as when coaching other athletes.
Today Jona lives and works in southern Sweden and is connected to a well developed network of international yoga professionals. Teaching, living, breathing and working with yoga, including running her own fully internationally recognised YogaJona Teacher Training, established in 2002, - means yoga for Jona has become a passion and a journey.
A personal and professional life journey which has led Jona on eight inspirational study trips to India and to complete comprehensive training in classical hathayoga, kundalini yoga, vinyasa yoga, hot yoga, seasonal yoga, pregnancy yoga and, naturally - yoga for sports coaching.
Jona is studio owner and teaches several yoga classes a week in Sweden, has private clients and, out in the field, teaches yoga to employees in the work place.
Jona teaches yoga to everyone, anytime and everywhere.

And on a personal note, Jona says…
- "I was first inspired by the Beatles and began my journey through yoga early on, using transcendental meditation.
- I have practised Tantrik Yoga according to Svami Janakananda, who was one of the first to introduce yoga into Scandinavia.
- I practise Kundalini Yoga according to Yogi Bhajan, who was among the first to introduce Kundalini Yoga to the west.
- I am a qualified Kundalini Yoga Instructor, Hathayoga Yoga Instructor och Vinyasa Yoga Instructor.
- I have experience of Ashtanga Yoga, Bikram Yoga och Sivananda Yoga.
- The type of yoga I teach is classic Kundalini Yoga, but I adapt the teaching and each class to the turn of the seasons, and to the time of year.
- I also teach Vinyasa Yoga. My flow classes too follow the rhythm of the seasons.
- All of which benefits us a great deal since our needs vary during the course of the year. By following the rhythm of the seasons in my yoga, we gain more balance and harmony in our daily lives.
- In secret I call my teaching Kundalini Flow Kundalini because it increases our life force. Flow because it flows with the turn of the seasons. "
