It’s been a while because ~ so far ~ 2025 has been moving in the energy of fire 🔥 This makes it even more important to take that time to move, to breathe, to be. No matter if it’s 3 min you time or 60. Tbh it’s been a little difficult for me, but I’m slowly getting in the habit again to carve out this time 🩵 how’s your 2025 been so far?

Whether you’re celebrating Christmas or not, this time of the year can bring up all kinds of emotions. It can be an overwhelming season, full of joy, love, sadness, loneliness, exhaustion, you name it - the full human experience really - and you deserve to take time to create more space within yourself, acknowledge or integrate your emotions and thoughts and maybe create the setting to let them move through you. That’s why I have made this little quick “check-in” meditation for you. Allow yourself to take a moment for yourself today to connect with your breath, yourself and the present moment.
Try it out, - and if you feel you want to add some extra love you can safely include the following affirmations to help create a safe space within yourself 🤍
1. I am here
2. I am safe
1. I am listening

Back from a very needed break and holiday in Turkey 🇹🇷 was absolutely amazing soaking up the sun, swimming and eating delicious food - in amazing company 😘❤️ And it is also amazing being back on my mat doing some asanas - it has been a while I have got to admit. And man it felt great! Was moving intuitively as I usually do in my own asana practice - just sensing what my body needed at that very moment. It was a little bit chaotic, a little bit wobbly - but I loved every second embracing it all 🫶🏻❤️

A 30 minute intuitive practice focusing on heart openers and balancing poses as I’ve been feeling quite emotional lately and felt like focusing on this ❤️ don’t have much else to say right now but maybe this little flow will inspire you, and if not that’s okay 💕 #intuitivemovement #asanapractice #breathawareness #pranayamayoga #awareness #bodyawareness #heartopeners #balancing #ardhachandrasana #camatkarasana #copenhagenyoga #comepracticewithme
~ Suzy Kassem: “Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” ~
I find that a lot of the time what’s holding us back from doing what we really wanna do is, fear.
I see it so much in myself; the ugly imposter syndrome rearing its head when it comes to teaching yoga and pursuing a career in music, the fear of letting things go because you don’t know what you’re creating space for, the fear of going 100% in on something because fully committing means there’s more to lose (but also more to gain!), fear of speaking up and taking up space, fear of telling someone how you really feel, fear of falling on your face. Fear, fear, fear, it can be quite paralyzing.
I don’t know if anyone can relate to this, but I imagine I am not the only one who struggles with self doubt and fear of failure, and it being a hindering in doing the things we want to do.
~ “Never trust your fears, they don’t know your strengths.” — Athena Singh ~
However, as Athena Singh reminds us, fear is deceiving and it really doesn’t know your strength. We are so much stronger than we think, and sometimes it only takes 20 seconds of courage and then you’re in the flow. Every time we challenge our fear and break out of our comfort zones, our lives expands and we grow. Seeing this pose for the first time definitely awoke some kind of fear of falling on my face. Which may or may not had happened 👀 but it doesn’t matter, I got up and tried again. This just to say that it’s good to challenge our fears. Whether we fall or not isn’t really the key thing. The key thing is that we went for it even though we were scared. I hope these quotes will provide you some inspiration and motivation.
So…which fear will you be challenging next? ❤️👏🏻.

~ Gratitude ~ Currently I am finding myself in a very strange headspace. SO! I have made a habit of journaling down every night what has happened just in a few lines & asked myself what I was grateful for in that day of my life. Yesterday we had the most incredible sunset - here in London - with the most enchanting, intense and magical colors 🌅 I love sunsets so of course it was on my list of things I am (or was) grateful for, yesterday ❤️ What are you grateful for? Let me know 🙌🏻#rainbow

✨ 2023 ✨
A year that was all about healing and transformation. Diving into therapy, inner child work, crying, continuing processing a toxic relationship, taking a dating hiatus, starting to really learn how to actually be happy being who I am and being just me. Finding strength in my tears, leaning into the discomfort, embracing my big emotions, learning about my triggers and rediscovering being happy and excited about life. Wow.
The year I released Forest Fire as a representation of finding that inner fire to transform your life. Being grateful for where I am, the people that I have in my life. My family and chosen family. For the opportunities I have received and stepped into.
Got in front of the judges on the Danish X-Factor and discovered how far I’ve come, that I believe in myself and my art and that I do not need others validation and confirmation in the same way I used to. What a win?!
The year I taught my first yoga class followed by several and was played on Amazing Radio US and UK.
A year I continued setting boundaries and listening more to what I need and want.
2023 I am so grateful for the year I have had.
2024 - I’m excited to see how you unfold.
And thank you to all of you that continues to support me. It is so valued ❤️

Here’s your reminder to check in with yourself. A quick little how to meditation to connect to your body and breath ❤️🧘🏼♀️
Remember, it’s not a failure or defeat if your mind starts wandering, it’s completely normal and it’s what minds do. It can actually be an excellent invitation to practice self compassion and patience in noticing and reflecting on how we respond to our minds wandering. Maybe you want to reflect on how you speak to yourself, which thoughts/feelings comes up when you notice your mind has wandered?
And how it feels if you change your response to a more acknowledging and accepting approach.

A bit about me: ⤵️
1. I’ve been practicing yoga on/off for the past 11 years and I wanted to do my yoga teacher training for years before actually doing it but I never had the courage until 2022. It took a broken heart to realize there was nothing to loose but everything to gain ❤️
2. I am a trained vocalist, and have a degree in creative musicianship and a MA in songwriting - performing on stage is one of my main passions. 🎶
3. I love whales and sharks - especially the whale shark - which along with the orca are animals I continue to dream about 🤷🏼♀️💭
4. I used to meditate with my dad when I was a kid, and am on/off returning to this beautiful and sometimes challenging practice. 🧘🏼♀️
5. I believe in the power of therapy, CBT, inner child work and practicing mindfulness (among other forms), and it’s important for me to show not just the easy and lovely things but also the messier sides of being human on here.

Virabhadrasana II
(Warrior II)
I am strong.
I am soft.
I am enough.
~ I move freely like the water ~
I am whole.
I am joy.
I am love.
~ I am resilient ~
If you practice asanas you will most likely find yourself in one or several of the warrior poses. Warrior II is a great pose to build strength and resilience in the body as well as the mind. Holding it for longer you feel the body work, to hold the pose and allowing you to practice being present in your body - a great opportunity to “find” your dristhi (focused gaze), withdrawing the senses and redirect it back to your own experience. Focal point is just a little ahead of the middle finger of the hand facing forward 🫶🏻
