It’s been a good summer, says Laddu.

Us, humans, are swimming in the background...

We’ve had our swims, our bike trips, our books, movies, conversations and plans.

Laddu has had her sniffs, her playtime, and her important rest.

And as always, she’s been there to remind us when it’s simply time to just be. ❤️

Summer has a way or reminding us how little we actually need to feel content. A walk. A swim. Good company. A quiet morning. The same familiar practice.

Soon the rhythm will change again.

Calendars fill up, mornings get darker and routines return. But perhaps we don’t need to leave summer behind entirely.

Maybe we can carry a little of its spaciousness into ordinary Tuesdays.

A slower breath before rushing to the next thing.
A practice that steadies us.
A moment of noticing what is already here.

(Laddu seems convinced that’s the whole secret).

If you’d like to ease into the new season with a little more steadiness, I’d love to practise with you.

✨ 1–2 August I’ll be teaching a weekend workshop in Porvoo, exploring how the practice becomes a place that can hold whatever life brings.

🌾 Then, on 2 August, our Late Summer Cycle – The Fruits of Practice begins. Ten weeks of Mysore practice, monthly gatherings and a supportive community, carrying a little of summer’s spaciousness into autumn.

One ordinary morning at a time.

If you’d like to know more about either the Porvoo weekend or the Late Summer Cycle, send me a message or have a look through the link in my bio. ❤️

See you soon!

Sometimes what we need most is a place where nothing is required of us.

(This morning Kadermo Conscious Living 🌿)

The first morning practice.

The deep rest afterward, surrounded by silence, interrupted only by the occasional birdsong.

And then, the first dip in the sea.

In the middle of daily life, work, family, and routines, it can feel difficult to step away from all the responsibilities.

But once you arrive on the island and have the space to simply be, you remember:

This is what you needed.

A little less doing.
A little more being.

Summer, slowly. ☀️

There’s something special about yoga practice in the summertime.

No rushing out of the door.
Fewer schedules.
Long moments of sipping the post-practice coffee.

Time for reading, swimming, resting, and noticing the beauty of summer — even in the middle of the city.

This Sunday, at the summer solstice, we begin our Summer Retreat at Kadermo Conscious Living in Hanko.

A few days of yoga, meditation, chanting, sauna, delicious plant-based food, and good company.

And this Thursday is our final online Mysore class before our summer pause. We’ll meet again in August.

However you’re spending these midsummer days, I hope they bring you a little more space, joy, and ease.

Happy midsummer ✨

”I should do my practice.”

Have you ever noticed how heavy that sentence feels?

For many of us, ”should” comes with a hidden message:

You’re behind.
You’re not doing enough.
You need to try harder.

No wonder it’s hard to roll out the mat.

But what if discipline didn’t have to feel like pressure?

What if practice could be something you return to because it nourishes you—not because you’re forcing yourself?

What’s the difference, for you, between discipline and pressure?

This is the theme of my upcoming online workshop:

✨ Yoga Practice as a Healthy Discipline
🗓 June 13th
🧘 Led Primary Series + discussion

We’ll explore how to cultivate consistency without turning practice into another obligation on an already full to-do list.

If you’d like the details, send me a message or email me at [email protected].

And if you’re not on my newsletter list yet, I’d love to have you there. That’s where I share upcoming classes, retreats, reflections on practice, and the occasional musing on life, yoga, and all the ways we humans make things more complicated than they need to be. 😊

Comment ”NEWSLETTER” below or send me a DM, and I’ll send you the link to join.

Would you for once just like to… just be?

To breathe.
To watch the sea.
To feel the sun and the wind on your skin.
To practice yoga without pressure.

Without rushing.

To enjoy simple things:

coffee,
fresh fruit,
a nourishing meal,
good conversations,
silence,
nature.

And maybe, in that space, reflect on questions like:

Why do we practice?
What is the self?
How can we find peace and contentment in everyday life?

Sometimes, when we slow down and simply allow ourselves to be, something quietly begins to shift.

This is my invitation to join the summer retreat at Kadermo Conscious Living in Hanko, Finland, June 21–26.

A few days to step away from everyday noise and reconnect with yourself through practice, nature, silence, and community.

If this speaks to you, you’re warmly welcome 🤍

Where do you go when you practice? 👀

Into the breath?
Into your head?
Into “why is this pose suddenly impossible today?” 😅

Yoga has this sneaky way of showing us how we relate to ourselves.

The inner coach.
The critic.
The one trying very hard to be “good.”
The one who just wants a nap in savasana.

And often… we don’t even notice the conversation happening.

This Saturday, we’ll explore all of it together — through practice, reflection, and a little curiosity.

✨ Led Primary Series + Talk
🗓 Saturday, May 23
🧘‍♀️ Online

We’ll move, sit, breathe, snack ☕️ and explore:

Yoga, the Self & Learning to Be Free from Self-Judgement

Come as you are.

A few moments from our Ashtanga Yoga intensive in Seinäjoki over the past two days ✨
Sometimes, being together helps us remember how to listen to ourselves again.
To slow down, connect, share, and return inward.

And then… back to the mat with fresh inspiration ❤️

Our next Seinäjoki workshop will be January 22–24 — save the dates!

A few moments from Kuopio this weekend.

Loved the shala and the atmosphere of Mysore classes, and the great conversations we had about asana, meditation and the (un)stability of the mind.

I also loved the art, the pizza and the moments of sewing together at the art museum with , and . ❤️

No need to fix the experience. Kiitos, kuopiolaiset! 💗
