My Story - About Me

Hi, my name is Karin. I am a mother of three living in the gorgeous little village of Grangärde in the south of Dalarna, Sweden. Before landing in the countryside, growing my own vegetables, teaching yoga, hosting retreats and taking people out on the lake on SUP boards, I lived a quick-paced life full of travel and hard work.

I worked in the restaurant industry for 20+ years and lived and worked in 6 countries. I am fluent in English and Swedish and mainly teach in Swedish now; however, classes can always be held in English if needed.

Yoga always followed me on my travels as a complement to hiking, snowboarding and swimming. I am naturally an active person that feels best close to water or in the forest. Nature is part of my life in some way every day.

I attended my first Yoga teacher training in 2015 and have since continued to top up my knowledge with never-ending curiosity about the body and mind connection (a list of my education further down). After holding countless Yoga classes at several different studios in Gothenburg for a couple of years, I opened my own studio: The Yoga Studio, in 2017. The hardest decision of my life was leaving the studio behind and moving to Dalarna. However, the move is also the best decision of my life.

Welcome to see me in Dalarna, or let's meet up online!
