How to survive the after-BLAST

MO:

After 2 days filled with sweat, adrenaline and LOVE from delegates, team colleagues, friends and aquaintances, it is always a challenge to survive the Monday after.

I was incredibly pleased with the weekend.

Having 3 sessions is fun and great, but also a big energy spender, as both JO and I can vouch for.

The "Power, Grace & Glory"-ride turned out really well. Despite some technical problems before the class and my pedal falling off during the warm up (yes, it´s true), the rest of the ride was smooth, but also very strong. Yum!

The MOJO Yoga session, which was placed last on the schedule on Saturday, still drew almost a full room. Lovely!

Sunday held the session which I had prepared for the most - ("Starting your own business within the health and fitness field") - in running clothes, on the yoga mat, driving my car, etc, etc, I had gone over the content of my lecture over and over again.

I felt inspired and positively nervous before, which is always a good sign.

Also here there were technology issues before we could start, but luckily it never really threw me, since the PPT-presentation was extremely simple and not that important.

Thanks to Jessica, who except from being a fab friend also turned out to be an excellent tech support! :)

For a kick ass BLAST, I especially want to thank:

* My NIKE Team colleagues

* NIKE my sponsor

* All my fantastic participants!!! Wow, I´m humbled every time.

* The Incycle-crew. Jessica, Magnus & Linda, what can I say? Even when you call me mum and take pictures of me sleeping with my mouth open, I love you guys. And that says a lot.

* JO. Beautiful, talented and a fab girl.

Almost forgot the answer to the headline!

Here goes:

- sleep

- more sleep

- water

- silence

- sleep

- GOOD food

- cuddles

- hugs

Now: getting charged for BLASTing OSLO!

Saturday morning at the MOJO booth

Actually, when I see those tights like this, maybe it wasn´t such a great idea after all?

Finally

MO:

Had a tough day after yet another night of bad sleep.

Thankfully, filling the day with energizing students, lovely friends (thanks C & JOJO!) and my rockin´PT, more than helped to get me through my waking hours.

I´ve reached one of my part goals with the lifting. I´ve started to even out the MAJOR differences between my left and right trapezius and rhomboids. Details, details some might think, but I know what such an imbalance can do to the rest of the body, both in everyday life but also in your training. If you saw the clip I uploaded a couple of months ago, you will really be able to tell the difference in my back in today´s mini-movie.

We filmed the new Hot MOJO sequence this afternoon. O.M.G it will ROCK da HOUSE!

I´m very proud of both the new Hot series, but also LOVE the new MOJO Yoga - which will reach clubs in January 2011!

Tomorrow: Robin and admin work. If I in any way could persuade my 1 1/2 year old that a lie in is the new black, I´d be extatic. Good luck with that.

MOJO YOGA

WOW!

If I lived in VARBERG I would for sure be going to a lot of MOJO Yoga classes!!!

FRISKVÅGEN - just gotta give it to them - THEY ROCK!

Just finished watching their DVD's and talk about MOJO!!! I could also see the participants in the DVD and they were working so hard but with a sun shining in their face!

Not in a million dreams could I imagine this was possible - to spread and work with what I LOVE and see people evolving from it!

HUMBLE!

Now - I can't wait to get my ass kicked (in a good way - yeas I do like some S&M ;) in this SPRINGS Hot Mojo and MOJO Yoga classes!

Will u come to?!

GYMNASIUM
MASTHUGGET Fitness

Have a beautiful weekend MOJO's

LOVE Jo

HOT MOJO - gets GAGA ;)

It's Lady Yo-ga!

"Lady Gaga got hot and sweaty as she showed off her moves during a gruelling HOT yoga session.

The Poker Face star turned up unexpectedly at Tricia Donegan's Manhattan studio – where she posed for pictures and left 39-year-old Donegan a thank-you note.

At first, Donegan said she didn't recognise the 24-year-old singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, who used to attend her yoga classes when she was a student at New York University.

"Gaga said to me, 'To jog your memory, I confided in you and cried in your lap about a food problem I was having,’" Donegan told a local news station.

"She told me I had talked to her about the proper hydration and proper nutrition necessary to having enough energy and strength.
"She said she no longer has a food problem and that I saved her life."

Asked if the pop star was any good at yoga, Donegan said: "I don’t know if she’s flaming hot, but she’s definitely hot."

She also revealed that Gaga’s thank-you note, scrawled on pink paper, read: "Tricia, Thank you so much for today. Lately, I've been kicking a** in yoga, but I'm excited to embark on an even deeper journey with you. You are such an inspiration. I will be back soon. With more hydration + sleep.

"Yoga heals me + so do you. Love, Lady Gaga."

Hello!!!!

I LOVE the HOT MOJO - cause it is hot but it is NOT cruelling HOT!

Come play with us - I am teaching Wednesday 7am @ Masthugget!!!

Btw - we are shooting NEW MOJO pics soon - any ideas/requests?!

PEACE Jo

MOJO in da city

MO:
It's not even 10pm and I'm off to bed!
After an action packed weekend with new MOJOs in the making, I think I deserve some extra sleep...
MyrbergBjörn opens tomorrow and it's an exciting week ahead, both at the studio and for Jo and I. :)
If you're in the city, make sure you pop by!

Engelbrektsgatan 34C, 1st floor

Just Breath!

That is it folks!!!

HERE!

LOVE Jo

CLOSE to OPENING

Photograph to be seen live at MyrbergBjörn very shortly.

Shot by: Alana Da Silva

MO:

Ready...Steady....GOOOO!

On Monday MyrbergBjörn opens!

Pop by, say hello, take a class, sweat it out, sit down, have a chat and let us know what you think!

Friday-Sunday MyrbergBjörn is hosting its very first MOJO Yoga Certification.

Feels unreal doing the training at your own place. Unreal, but good.

Saw the gorgeous photographs that Alana shot last night. That girl is a genius.

It took her 20 minutes, if even, to nail it right on the head. I had this vision of bubblegum-, bouncy-, vibrant-, cartoon-like colours, with shapes that are in and out of focus....

And I got exactly the flavour I was hoping for.

Thanks to all who stayed and modelled!

YUM!

REALITY check

MO:
- snatches
- front squats
- skaters squats
- military presses
- chins

in the gym,
MOJO Yoga before the gym session and 60 min Wednesday spinning tonight - all with 90 minutes of yoga NY style already causing musle twitches all over my body... You could say I'm slightly sore...

AND I´ve got a private with David again tomorrow morning.

Wish me luck.

MyrbergBjörn business card. Wow. It´s happening soon.

SUPERMAN p(l)ays a visit

MO:

Famous friends.

Darling JOJO & SUPERMAN paid a visit in tonight´s marathon: Spinning, Kettlebell & Hot MOJO.

What an honour to get the enormous pleasure to kick this talented man´s tight butt!

After having spent 90min more or less just WATCHING his awe-inspiring Multi-Intenso class 2 years ago in NY (think 10 handstands before the 30min mark...), I was thrilled to invite David to my triple.

True grandeur equals humbleness, that´s why David is one of the greatest in my opinion.

Tomorrow, he will have his "revenge" as I sweat it out on the yoga mat.

Except from teaching,

JO and I have filmed and bagged the second MOJO Yoga series - and man, does it FLY?! Whoppa!

MOJO Yogis out there - you will have a gorgeous spring sequence to look forward to - one that your spine will fall in LOVE with...

LET GO

It is Friday :)

and according to Buddha the wise dude -

"Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind."

Thanks Pete ;)

Morning glory breakfast with love, now clients, then exciting MOJO meeting - making the new MJOJO YOGA seq :) Yeah!

After that another very interesting meeting (mind you I am a person who am often NOT TO excited about meetings :)

And then.... And then .. (as in "Dude where's my car :) - Strolling around in GBG with SUPERMAN, his Girl and my BO!

Could it be any better :?

Let go and FLOW

LOVE Jo

Live preparations for SIBERIA...

MO:
Live preparations for Siberia here.

Hot MOJO on FIRE & MOJO Yoga on Funbeat!

MO:

Thanks Anders, who sent us the following photograph of his work colleagues - firefighters from Helsingborg - practicing Hot MOJO-Yoga at the Fire station!
You go, guys!



...and THANKS Magnus, for keeping us up to speed:

hOMe

This pic was taken in January 2007 I think... Where MOJO was born - exactly right there on that bed in FINLAND in front of my my beloved MAC (which has been reincarnated into several other MACs and is now an AIR BOOK :)

I have said it before!

But I need to be reminded again - HOME is where the HEART is!

And I am now on the last day starting to land in Djerba - I am touching ground much thanks to my own yoga practice and the VIEW of the amazing yogins and yoginis around me (weather they know it or not ;)

After a smooth yogalates this morning I remind myself of how REALLY LESS IS MORE!

So often in my life I find myself pushing, pulling, screaming (inside ;) like a child to get where and what I want. When I KNOW from experience that the times LIFE has evolved into WHAT I wished for were the times when I had to courage and calm to LET GO!

My guiding STAR in this is MEDITATION MEDITATION MEDITATION! (moving, sitting still, breathing - doesn't matter - JUST DO IT!)

Meditating in the morning literally blesses your entire day. It expands time, calms your nervous system and restores your cells. It makes forgiveness easier because it opens the heart. It interrupts the ego’s proclivity for attack and defense, retrains your attitudinal musculature and delivers you to inner peace. Plus, it is free. Now our excuse for not doing it is what, exactly?

Now POOL PLAY

LOVE Jo

Oh. I feel old.

MO:
I am actually dead tired right now.
After a 4h spinning workshop yesterday (Great crowd - wonderful energy) and another 3 classes today (OH.YES. Motivated members - I like!) , I have to admit: I´m spent.

3T is Trondheim´s largest fitness chain and their clubs are fabulous.
Master Mania is a yearly event for the members. We (the presenters) tour the clubs and teach classes in various disciplines.
The sessions are booked out and we are very well taken care of by super-professional staff.

I´m having an early night tonight.
3 more classes tomorrow and then back to Gbg Sunday morning.

Hope you´re having a fruitful weekend, MOJOs!
