Sue Schaefer - ASAHI Nordic Instructor

What’s new with Asahi at FinnFest? Morning Asahi practices on the Tori stage at 9 am Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. “Start your day the Asahi way!”

In addition to general practice sessions, FinnFest 2025 offers a comprehensive Asahi Teacher Training program. This two-day course, scheduled for July 30–31, 2025, at St. Scholastica and the DECC in Duluth, MN, provides participants with in-depth instruction on Asahi Series 1 and 2, including seated adaptations. The training concludes with an open Asahi Workshop on July 31 from 2–4 pm, featuring a graduation and certification ceremony .

Congratulations to Lois Blau of Calumet, MI, who recently certified as an Asahi Instructor! She visited Asahi A1 teacher trainer Sue Schaefer’s class in Milwaukee with her 99-year-old father last week where Sue presented Lois with her diploma! Let Asahi Move You!❤️

Congratulations!

Congratulations Samuli!

THE ASAHI NORDIC ASSOCIATION OF FINLAND CHOSE THE ASAHI TEACHER OF THE YEAR 2024: SAMULI VIITANEN
CONGRATULATIONS, SAMULI!
In his words: Now it's official. Asahi Nordic chose me as the 2024 Asahi Instructor of the Year! It goes without saying that this is a great honor, especially on the 20th anniversary of the invention of Finnish Asahi !
Just in my first year of teaching (not even a full 12 months as an official teacher), I have used Asahi to get a lot of people moving, e.g. musicians, students, mental health rehabilitators and even random passers-by at a train stop. I have guided Asahi in Finland and Portugal (I haven't had time to travel elsewhere with Asahi yet 😃). It goes without saying that the same trend will continue and will sprout on an even bigger scale in the future.
is simply beautiful and it practically always suits every person, regardless of their state of health. Modern life is over-stressing for people - physically and mentally in every way, and an opportunity to calm down is worth more than gold: it promotes health and peace of mind in a way that money cannot buy.
Thanks again to Asahi Nordic and all the director colleagues who contributed to my being chosen!
