Deep Dive Yoga means – a journey into yourself. Connect with your heart, nature, breathe and ENJOY!

• I combine  the three – My passion for:
• Animals (connect with your heart)-
• Nature (intuition- getting back to the roots) –
• Yoga (mind, body and our natural breath).

​Dive into yourself on a journey of transformation
Dive into the water  – the deep ocean and breathe.
Dive in – and explore new ways of being in your body and mind
Deep is long slow stretches – releasing the breath and relaxing your cells in your body.
Deep is to go with the flow in your body, in the yoga positions, in the water.
Deep – notice your inner and outer journey of your mind and body – connect with your intuition and breath.

I will guide you to listen and get in tune with your body’s inner voice. To trust and explore what your body needs to adjust and breathe. With a background in dancing, and as a movement therapist and yoga teacher I will introduce you to connecting your mind and body, releasing blocks, stress and pain. I will combine my unique mix of my own personal experience, with my professional background to help you on your journey back to connect with your heart, intuition and breath again.

All classes will be adjusted to the individual person and the energy of the day.
Deep Dive Yoga is especially designed for people with pain, stress, beginners and intermediate, but everyone is welcome. I’m looking forward to guide you through a revitalising journey into yourself.
