I'm a 200-hour alignment-based yoga teacher, pre-and postnatal yoga teacher, and a lifelong student of yoga who's currently studying towards a 500-hour therapeutic yoga teacher certificate with Yoga Medicine. I've studied pre -and postnatal yoga with Birthlight both in Finland and Switzerland and did my 200-hour teacher training with Purna Yoga Helsinki. Yoga came into my life for the first time in 2010 and it's been an important part of my life ever since. 

I've been assisting my teacher Tove Palmgren three times at her annual yoga retreat in Spain and will be there assisting her and learning from her in 2023 as well. I also take private yoga and meditation classes with her once a week to deepen my own practice of yoga and through that, better serve my own students. 

I'm also a wife, a mother of two, and a nature lover who loves running, hiking, and just spending time outdoors as much as possible. I'm passionate about cooking and spreading the joy of preparing simple homemade meals.

I'm originally from Finland and have been living in Switzerland since 2017 with my Italian husband and our two children. To me, yoga is a way of living and goes far beyond the physical exercise done on the mat. I embrace all aspects of yoga and strive to make every day a joyful journey. In order to truly be able to shine and feel alive, you need to take care of yourself on many levels.

Daily meditation,

healthy & organic food,

applying the wisdoms of yogic philosophy into day-to-day life and

practicing asana & pranayama

are the key principles of creating a meaningful, joyful, and healthy life.

My passion is to help people find the joy and importance of daily movement, freedom of breath, and calmness of the mind through yoga poses, breathwork, and meditation. As a mother myself, I feel a deep desire to help other women in their pregnancy and postnatal journeys by offering them a welcoming space and safe yet effective yoga practice that supports their well-being during these transformative times in their lives.
