Are Traumas a Blessing in Disguise? Learn How to Shift from Victim to Predator Have you ever felt as if life is always going hard on you and that you are helpless? Is the world unfair to you, and do you think you deserve more than you are credited for? Do you feel that you go in...

Have you ever felt invisible in a fast-paced yoga class — like everyone else “got it” except you?
Maybe you even thought it was your fault for not keeping up.
What if I told you… It’s not your fault?

Have you ever tried Forrest Yoga?

Why Forrest Yoga Stands Apart
When it comes to truly seeing students, offering meaningful hands-on support, and teaching from a place of deep authenticity—Forrest Yoga isn’t just different. It’s designed for it.

✨ 1. Individual Attention

Forrest Yoga classes slow you down just enough for your teacher to actually see you.
Not the general shape, not the “idea” of the pose—you.
Your unique structure, your breath, your patterns, your needs.
In a world of fast-paced flows, this level of presence is rare—and powerful.

🤲 2. Hands-On Assists That Transform

Assists in Forrest Yoga are not random, decorative, or performative.
They are intentional, therapeutic, and grounded in deep respect.
Every touch has a purpose: to guide you toward greater safety, greater strength, and greater truth in your practice.

🔥 3. Authenticity at the Heart of Teaching

Forrest Yoga demands that teachers do their own work.
I don’t just cue; I connect.
I don’t hide behind choreography; I speak from lived experience.
That’s why my classes feel different—because the teaching comes from a place of honesty, not autopilot.
If you’re looking for a practice that sees you, supports you, and invites you to show up as your real self…

Today, I am celebrating feeling comfortable in my skin and recognizing my worth. It’s not always like that despite people thinking this about me as I am usually in the position of the teacher and mentor. And the fact that there are periods of self-doubt and struggle is what makes me a better mentor. I learn a lot about myself when I dive into times of self-reflection and I snuggle with my vulnerability and I get humbled.

No matter how much we think as individuals that we have control over our process, the truth is that something else -call it nature?- drives everything. It is that primal force that drives the change of seasons, periods and cycles. It seems circular, but it’s rather spiral. We are evolving constantly, but one must be very adept at tracking the low rate of transformation as it happens incrementally. Think of it like watching your kids growing daily; suddenly they are taller, but you don’t really know when it happened. It was happening all along under your radar.

Over the last few days, I am transitioning in a new era. The only thing I can do is accept the change. And I am truly grateful that I can pick up this change. That my radar becomes more and more fine-tuned.

This is part of what I help people do: sharpen their awareness, know when they need to strive and when to let go. Is it the chicken or the egg? The answer is that it’s both. It shifts constantly.

I am in pure, indescribable awe after closing the first part of my year-long mentorship combined with a retreat at in Portugal❤️ I am grateful for the magnificent group of people who joined me this year. We went deep, challenged our limits, faced our pain and fears and emerged VICTORIOUS. Until next year🥰

With this post, I’d love to thank and express gratitude to my students who became Forrest Yoga teachers and help me spread the healing tools of in Oslo. The world needs this medicine and I am proud of these souls who walk with me in the journey towards evolving and unlocking more of our true potential. Feel free to not only take my classes, but theirs too. Each one of us have unique gifts and talents to inspire you to harvest more of your own innate strength.
