Maj shares:
"I practice yoga because it aids me in answering exactly that difficult and intricate question ‘who are you’. I teach yoga because it enables me to help other people find the answer to that tricky and seminal question. I practice yoga because it makes me a nicer person to be around. Makes me a more fun mother, a more present partner and certainly a more authentic and valuable teacher. An attribute to the world actively engaged in finding solutions and lighting the way.
Part of my style is leading by example and it is adamant to me that I walk my talk.
The transformation I see in my students from timid individuals searching for the ever fleeting “perfect body’ to fully blossoming lotus flowers realizing that we indeed are already perfect inspires to keep on teaching. When my 3-year-old daughter says “Mum, don’t use the word never” – THEN I am inspired to teach. When I experience how yoga can help me in solving difficult conflicts and life situations while improving my physical and mental health tremendously THEN I am inspired to teach."
Originally born in Denmark Maj has taught yoga since 2007, but it took her many years in Showbizz before she realised that being a yoga teacher was her true calling. After 7 years in Australia + 2 in the UK, she returned to Copenhagen in 2013, where she made yoga her full-time occupation teaching sold out classes and workshops, appearing everywhere from Copenhagen Yoga Festival to private living rooms. For Maj yoga is so much more than just aerobic exercises, and originally trained as an actress she is always looking to apply yoga to all of our roles - including the one as a mother of 2, a partner, friend and conscious human being living on this planet. Presence, fun and a kick arse playlists are always on the menu when Maj is serving you yoga. Maj is one of the few very social people not on social media, but she is always happy to receive an email or even better an old fashioned face to face chat!
