Eva Estlander Sound Healing & Yoga

STUDENT TESTIMONIAL 💜✨🙏🏼

She almost didn’t sign up.

JOHANNA | sound bath facilitator & yoga teacher had felt the pull toward sound healing for a while. She just wasn’t sure she was ready.

She joined anyway. Since then she’s gone on to host her own sound baths, day retreats, and corporate sessions, and she says the work feels soul aligned.

In her own words:
“I learned so much, not only about how to confidently play different instruments, but also about the energetic body, the chakras, and how to craft meaningful sound journeys.”

That’s really what this training is about. Finding your own voice as a facilitator, with the tools and confidence to actually use it.

If you’ve been feeling the pull too, the next Soma & Sound Method® training is October 3 to 4 in Helsinki.

A Master’s in Economics, almost 7 years in a Mexican surf town, becoming a yoga teacher, a burnout, becoming a mother and quite a few plot twists later… here we are.
⠀
In my twenties, I left Finland. First for Bali, then Sayulita, Mexico, a little surf town that became home for almost 7 years.
⠀
I taught yoga almost daily, often in private villas overlooking the Pacific. I hosted retreats. I surfed (yes, I actually knew how 😂), spent a lot of time barefoot.
⠀
A part of me will always belong in Sayulita.
⠀
Then in 2018, I came back to Finland.
⠀
And wow, I was NOT prepared for that transition.
⠀
I had built an entire identity in Mexico and suddenly had to figure out who I was here.
⠀
I became an event manager, at one point juggling 23 events in ONE month 🫠😮‍💨, in an environment that had become incredibly toxic.
⠀
Within a year, I burned out
⠀
Burnout brought me back to yoga. And I kept getting curious.
⠀
Sound. Somatics. Energy. Spirituality. Intuition. Retreats. Training yoga teachers and sound healers. Eventually, Soma & Sound Method®.
⠀
One thing kept leading to another. ✨
⠀
The long and difficult path to becoming a mother changed me deeply too. Somewhere along the way, spirituality stopped feeling like a separate part of my life. It’s simply how I see the world now.
⠀
At 40, I genuinely feel more like myself than ever. (Still slightly confused about how I’m 40 😂)
⠀
Teacher. Mother. Entrepreneur. Student. Deeply spiritual human figuring things out as I go.
⠀
Life is not linear.
⠀
We change. Get lost. Find new things we love. Come home to old parts of ourselves. Start over. Surprise ourselves.
⠀
And somewhere in all of that, we become more and more us. ✨
⠀
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. 💜
⠀
If you’re new, stick around! And if you’ve been here a while, where do we know each other from? 🥹
⠀
Sayulita? Helsinki? School? Yoga? A retreat or training? Instagram? Somewhere completely different? ↓

There are two spaces left in our Lunar Yin circle. 🌙

And this time, those words carry a little more weight because this will be the last Lunar Yin Teacher Training we teach in Finland.

Lunar Yin is a 100-hour journey into Yin Yoga, TCM, the meridians and elements, sequencing, the Moon, intuition and the art of holding space.

But what happens over these four months goes beyond learning how to teach.

It is an initiation into listening more deeply. Trusting your own rhythm. Becoming more attuned to your body, your intuition and the way you want to guide others.

We are looking for two more souls to complete our circle.

🌙 Lunar Yin 100H Teacher Training

📅 September 11 – December 13
📍 Helsinki Pranama Helsinki • (Töölö studio)
✨2 FINAL SPOTS remaining ✨

🌙 ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT for Lunar Yin 100H Teacher Training

And this one feels a little bittersweet to share because this will be the last Lunar Yin training we teach in Finland.

We begin September 11th in Helsinki and journey together over four weekends through Yin Yoga, TCM, meridians and the elements, sequencing and teaching, alongside the lunar, intuitive and energetic layers that make this training what it is.

Lunar Yin is for you if you want to teach Yin, deepen your existing teaching, or simply feel called to immerse yourself more deeply in the practice.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is the final opportunity to experience Lunar Yin with us here in Finland.

LUNAR YIN YOGA TEACHER TRAINING 100HR No matter what phase I am in - I am always whole.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it actually means to be on your path ✨

Not having it all figured out, but noticing what keeps pulling you forward. What feels meaningful. Where things seem to click into place in ways you couldn’t have planned.

These beautiful photos are from our Resonance Retreat at Reiters Supreme Adults Only , which for me is one of those things that feels so deeply soul aligned 🥹🤌🏼

Creating spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves and experience something deeper is a big part of what I feel I’m here to do ✨

And very full circle, I’m heading back to Reiters next week to host my next retreat there. ✨ You can still join us if you’ve been feeling the nudge.

More to come 💜

Happy Leo Solar Eclipse (Meme Drop) 🌑✨

This one marks a new beginning. And with Leo energy, I’ve been thinking a lot about what happens when we actually follow the things that make us feel more alive.

Sound healing has been one of those things for me.

When I first started working with sound, I had already been teaching yoga for years. But something about sound opened up a whole new layer of the practice for me.

I loved how you could feel it.

The vibration. The stillness afterwards. The way it could bring you out of your head and back into your body.

And I started thinking… how can I bring more of this into the way I teach?

Because as a yoga teacher, I’ve always wanted to create practices that help us come back to the body. To actually feel ourselves, rather than constantly trying to think our way through everything.

That curiosity eventually became the Soma & Sound Method® 🤍

A method that brings together sound, movement, breath, somatic practices and deep rest.

And honestly, sound healing has taken me places I never could have imagined when I first started.

I’ve shared it at retreats around the world, with international brands, in beautiful hotels, with hundreds of people at a time and in tiny intimate circles 🥹🙏🏼✨

And I still love it just as much.

Maybe that’s part of the eclipse message too.

Follow what lights you up. Follow the curiosity. You never really know where it might take you ✨

And in very fitting new beginning energy…

Today is the LAST DAY to join the Soma & Sound Method® training at the Early Bird rate.

October 3–4 in Helsinki Pranama Helsinki •

If you’ve been feeling curious about sound healing, wanting to deepen your own practice or feeling called to share this work with others, I would love to have you there 🤍

Early Bird ends tonight ✨

Sometimes self sabotage doesn’t look like self sabotage 🥹

It looks like waiting until you feel ready.
Overthinking the next move.
Trying to get it perfect.

Consuming more information instead of taking action.

Giving up because the results aren’t coming fast enough.

And I’ve definitely caught myself doing all of these 🫠

The tricky part is that we can usually see these patterns so clearly in other people, while being completely blind to our own.
Awareness is where things start to shift.

Because once you can see the pattern, you have the opportunity to choose differently.
Which one did you need to hear today? ✨

Started writing again 🧚🏼‍♀️✨

A little more depth, a little less algorithm.
