I first started yoga in Oulu in 2007 when I was 17 years and looked for ways to support my overall-
wellbeing. I have danced actively since a little girl but yoga gave me something new – a feeling of deeper peace.
For many years yoga ”came and went” as I travelled and lived in Finland and abroad.
In 2017 I felt a call to deepen my yoga practice. As a beautiful answer to my wish I then found
Purna Yoga Helsinki´s happy and cozy studio and gradutated as a 200-h Purna Yoga Teacher in 2018
with the guidance of Tove Palmgren and Nicola Moberg.
With Purna Yoga I have learned to see myself in a totally different light than before: I can actively and
positively influence the wellbeing of my body, mind and Heart by practicing Purna Yoga. I have learned
many practical tools to feel more free, light, happy, grounded and complete in this hectic world we live in.
Purna Yoga practice for me is a journey with many beautiful gifts which I am happy to share with others.
I am also educated as a Professional Dancer, an Occupational Therapist and a Nature Connection Guide.
In the field of Yoga I´ve graduated as a Yoga Teacher for Special Needs groups (Erkkajooga 2018), Children, Youth and Families (Perhejooga 2020) as well as certified as a Pre- and Postnatal Yoga Teacher (Birthlight 2021).
As a Dancer I work in the fields of Social and Health care and Community & Social Arts by creating dance performances, projects and workshops both indoors and outdoors in the nature. In addition to yoga, dance is for
me a way to express myself and to feel the connected to my Soul.
