Kaivalya Yoga & Ayurveda

The word kaivalya went straight to my heart when I was sitting and eating Sanskrit words in the kitchen one morning. A tear rolled down my cheek when I read the meaning of the word: freedom, distance from the mind, the space between your thoughts, the liberation that occurs in the mind when it no longer needs to identify with anything. We can all train ourselves to be in kaivalya by learning to meditate. In the same way that asanas or other physical activity trains the body's muscles, meditation trains the mind to be in this space. The ease and freedom of being at peace without the constant mental chatter, that is kaivalya! After about 10 years abroad, I ended up in Stockholm by chance, where I trained as a medical massage therapist and Swedish classical masseuse. It gave me a good foundation to stand on back here at home in Sweden. But something in me yearned further, deeper, and that's when I found yoga and Ayurveda. I found Bikram yoga and a cozy studio where I ran like an obsessive to daily classes. I also found my way to the Ayurveda Academy where I studied to become an Ayurvedic health advisor and massage therapist. The years passed, one thing led to another and suddenly, after countless further trainings and deep dives, today I work there myself with Ayurvedic treatments, pancha karma, health advice and teach classical yoga and meditation. I also work in the heart of the south at Salve health center with Swedish classic massage and Ayurveda.
