Overview
Will it be for me?
Before yoga was performative for social media, it was sacred and considerend an ancient tool for healing.
A way to communicate with yourself and everything above and beyond.
It was a way to Be in the world and a vehicle to enter higher states of consciousness. Yoga is still a powerful way to channel strength and make it through joy, grief, love and suffering but the way there have become complicated and maybe even paralysing. So maybe you’re stuck there... Never getting started. Or not feeling creative. Or not sure what to do with all of these options there’s seemingly out there.
This training is for you if you wish to expand your idea of what a vinyasa-flow can look like. Maybe you’ve gotten stuck with virabhadrasana B to parsvakonasana to trikonasana and you’re looking for inspiration to new ways to move - your mind as well as your body. Maybe you’re already flowing and dancing in multiple shapes but have lost the way of how to incorporate Indian philosophy and feel a call to make your Yoga-practice (and classes) something more wholesome? And finally - maybe you're maybe not sure how to create SAFE, strong, anatomically correct mobility practices for yourself - or for your students?
Either way. Keep reading. This is for you!

what will you learn?
highlights
No matter your experience as a teacher or practitioner, THIS IS FOR YOU if you’re looking to create classes that
1) prevent injuries and FEELS awesome + safe
2) Includes indian philosophy, the elements, chakras or a beautiful life-story (maybe based on Ganesha or Hanuman?)
3) is cued in a way that feels authentic to YOU and also keeps your students enganged
4) are a full alchemyst-experience and involves mind-body-spirit. Learn different modalities on HOW to actually design a practice that both sets you, and your students, up for a feeling of success.
We want our Yoga-practice to have a life that reaches far beyond the Yoga-mat and Instagram but it can seem impossible, as Yoga seems to become more about handstands and less about how to fall - and how to rise back up.
In this course we will explore more about the actual felt *experience* of movement, breath and flow.
CREATIVITY
FUN
intention behind
Yoga probably more and more looks like calisthenics today. Like skills and gymnastic and dance melted together. So how can it can be that and still elevated to an experience that honors Indian philosophy? How do we, as teachers and practitioners, invite in the science of Yoga simultaneously with flowing through wild things listening to drake? Is it possible? How?
This intensive is a deep felt try to help Yoga Teachers and practitioners to navigate through all of the noice and actually make fun, emobdied, creative practices possible all whilst honoring the philosophical roots of Yoga, cueing like a professional and creating a *whole* experience for yourself and your students.
Yoga is in many ways breath and movement. Whether this movement is physical, energetical or spiritual. So it is our responsibility as teachers and practitioners to make sure that there's cues and guidance that embraces all of this. No matter the physical expression.
EMBODIEMENT
DEPTH
the facilitator
Nanna is certified Physical Therapist graduated from VIA University College in Aarhus early 2019 and have been geeking out in combining this with her knowledge of Yoga-asana ever since. She's taught 200h-students in the anatomy portion of their course with great success and is in general very passionate about making the practice more safe, fun and explorative for students as well as teachers. This makes Nanna exeptional at cueing through more or less complicated movements and also makes sure that all *bodies* are safe once the flow starts going.
In her everyday-life Nanna is teaching&practicing Yoga herself next to also having clients with muscolosceletal-complications and practices holistic therapy as well. O and she's a writer too and writes about psychiatry, mental health and neurodivergency.
Expect a full merge of these worlds under her guidance.
In the alchemy-creativity-cueing world, Nanna is a colorful being with a mind that likes to think in different ways, so go see her for guidance in how to think out of the box - maybe even destroy that box - all whilst maintaining the depth of science and philosophy.
Besides having a wisdom that sticks deep in terms of Western Medicine, Nanna is also a certified MBSR-coach (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), NLP-practitioner (Neuro Linguitisk Programming) and has taken numours courses in understanding the mind-body connection better.
She have in June 2024 taken 50h She the Dust course by Satu Tuomela, who's become well-known for bringing somatic-shaking-dancing-nerurology into the Yoga world, which is most definitely a knowledge that Nanna too will bring for the table of the creative explosion.
Next to that she's been a physiotherapist in social-psychiatry, where's she's graduated in courses of neuropsychology and the Open Dialog Approach (a way to talk about mental health conditions).
She approaches everything she does with a holistic p.o.v and stands out in that sense.
Nanna is a an experienced spaceholder and have hosted events/workshops/trainings all over the world since 2017. Her teaching-method is nurturing no-nonsense combined with a big smile and laughs, so expect to be challenged as well as 100% supported as you're threading new waters.
I do many things. Writing. Teaching. Hosting. Climbing. Travelling.
But none of those things, I have as much of a passion for, as teaching dedicated practitioners and Yoga-teachers on their journey through the mind-body-world.
I look so much forward to holding space for you
- no matter how you show up!
