Hello!

Idag blir det en till härlig intervju med min underbara vän och kollega Jessika Bungum. Hon har vart med oss i team Yogiakademin sen start och kommer även följa med till Costa Rica för att bjuda på härliga yogaklasser och otrolig intuitiv massage. En session med henne är ren MAGI. Jessika Bungum – vad är yoga för dig?

Source. I draw my inspiration to sharing yoga from life and the evolution of human consciousness. My relationships to love, my friends, teachers, students and society, meditation and the body. I am in awe of the many paths and processes of transformation that humans choose.

Share. I share yoga because I can. As a vocation it was as if yoga teaching called me, I didn’t directly choose it.The fascinating part of teaching is the leela (play), the dynamics between the actors; the student, the energy in the room, moving together and learning to to sense that which is moving when the body is still.

Breathe. Every class is like a mini-universe. We meet to playfully cultivate a practice of listening on the mat with simple tools; breath and asana, and then step back witness as it spreads into the outer reality we co-create.

My approach to teaching the past year is focused on the power of the breath. I see in the breath as our connection point between mindbody and spirit. A wise man once told me: Never stop breathing, don’t hold your breath. Because with every breath you take the universe pulsates. If you stop breathing, how will the universe find you?

Body. Regarding asana, I am passionate about practicing safely with appropriate alignment with respect for the lines of energy in the body and room.  Exploring how we can find the support we need within us while staying effortlessly connected with everything at once… sounds like a lot, but when the flow takes your it is all there, in one moment everything IS. It is my intention to facilitate the co-creation of such a space for you.

Om du är sugen på andras tankar om yoga spana in här.

Namaste! Dax för en till härlig intervju (för att det inte bara ska vara min tankar om yoga som kommer fram här). Idag är det den otroliga yogaläraren och grundaren av magiska yogastudion Urban Om (ett ställe i Stockholm som har en vacker plats i mitt hjärta, studion jag undervisat och yogat på sen start) tankar som får höras… Neo Moreton – vad är yoga för dig?

”I grew up in London, built my first dotcom business in Hong Kong aged 26, became a full time yogi in Byron Bay aged 28 and moved to Stockholm from New York in 2011. Realizing now more than ever people living in cities are suffering from urban overload- being constantly bombarded by stimuli, toxins and demands on our attention, this can fuel stress and even lead to a feeling of isolation and disconnection. To thrive and not just survive in the city, it is vital to take some time out every now and again to recharge and reconnect on the inside. So,  in 2012 I created Urban OM to give people a taste of themselves.

Yoga at urban om is urban, it’s contemporary, it reaches out to you who wants to be in the world and deeply connected in yourself. It has thrown out the old dogmas and concepts around yoga and asks you what do you need today? What would help you be you? Urban om asks you to wake up and let go, to step out of the comfort zone and free yourself.

We value realness and truth. Not to promote egos or get stuck in surface. You want to do yoga as yoga was meant to be, to fall inwards, to feel your body and to reconnect with your soul. You are tired of trying to be someone, to look a certain way or to strive for perfection and have reached the point where imperfection is just perfect.”
