Easy does it

MO:

Photo shoot number one this week is a wrap.

Photo shoot number two coming up tomorrow morning.

A pleasure to help out today, when gorgeous and talented team ECWC + darling JO rolled out the yoga mats to bring on the shakti energy at the photo shoot for Yoga Games.

This will be THE yoga event to attend in June at Svenska Mässan here in Gothenburg - for ALL of you who love to get your high on your ecological yoga mat, whether in Sukasana (easy pose) or Vrkasana (handstand).

Shanti, Shakti, Shumbu (peace, power, plenty)!

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
HAGABADET
MYRBERGBJÖRN
Here in Gothenburg so far!

Live somewhere else? Wanna know if they do MOJO?!


LOVE Jo

PRESENT(S) Christmas :)

Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe Me."

Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.


Preparing for my privates after a MAGIC morning start with HOT MOJO!
I am so proud, in awe, fascinated by my students!
Watching them grow, evolve, relax into their hearts, minds and bodies is the greatest reward!
I feel like I could QUIT NOW - Like I am done :)
It's a GREAT (and a strange) feeling!

If you really want to GIVE a gift to someone - perhaps it is a:
PRIVATE session 60min YOU
10 clips to HOT MOJO sessions
A card that says - SPENDING TIME together - a SEMI Session just the two of you (and me ;)
Just let me know!!!

There are so many great gifts to give!
And I love the fact that my business is based on this giving of spirit, not material things , but PURE LIVING!

SAT NAM JO

With a little help from my friends

MO:

Thank you thank you thank you,

JO: for an amazing energy boost this morning - ohhh, how I needed that!

My spirit was ELEVATED after our meeting. As always.

Christine: for so many laughs and such an organized IKEA run with follow up team work at MyrbergBjörn.

Jessica: for boosting SMSs and for creating such fabulous membership cards for the studio.

Camilla: for filling my body with yoga LOVE and fun.

Alana: for your company on the mat and (I´m sure) brilliant photographs.

P: for giving my trapz the treatment and attention that they so desperately needed.

(Even if I did feel like crying and even if I am such a cry baby when it comes to manipulations of the spine.) And for letting me rave on about the underlying cause.

And for yet again helping me find my true core. In more ways than one. ♥

A fu*ker of a day

MO:

I had a bit of a morning.

It started off good with a great yoga class at 9am, but then went haywire in the gym shortly after.

I was in a great mood after class, I felt strong, almost invincible. Until I tried my squat that is.

I´ve had some problems with my right shoulder for a couple of weeks. It´s my upper trapezius that´s causing some serious problems when I load a heavy bar on top of it. It feels like putting a flame of fire deep down into wounded flesh.

The pain hit me REAL bad approx. 10 minutes into my session and I felt frustrated, angry and sad.

My trapezius is the one part of my body that ALWAYS stores stress and overload.

I know I´ve balanced a tight rope this autumn but I had it all under control until that deal went sour 2 weeks ago.

(I wish I could tell you exactly what happened, but I´m not going to bring it to that level.

Let´s just say that a major player truly fucked up a mutual contract... )

This caused a serious amount of negative stress and although I´m mentally past it - my body seems to be holding a long lived grudge.

That´s life for you. Take the good with the bad.

ANYWAY, tomorrow, I´m preparing for my last weekend of work for this year - a MOJO Yoga Certification at the MyrbergBjörn studio!!! ...and participating in Camilla Bergström´s 3h yoga workshop at Kåken! Mmmmm....can´t wait! Since I missed playing with Superman last weekend, it´ll be catch up time tomorrow.

Want to join us? Check out www.christinemyrberg.com for more information - there are a few spaces left.

Sleep well, MOJOs!

MULTI INTENSO Week

Is now over for this year!
I know it will be back!

Thank you ALL of you amazing people how showed up for the weekend workshop, took the private sessions and the classes.
YOU inspire me :)

It has been an amazing week!

When David first contacted me I was in Djerba and I knew that I had LOADS of work to do in Nov, and that arranging a workshop wasn't part of the plan.
But the I couldn't resist it - letting my fellow yogis taste SUPERMANS practice - a practice that inspires me soo much that I fly al the way to NYC to get some of it.


And thank you SPORTLIFE for being such a COOL gym to let us practice and play there!
I love SPORTLIFE cause they are always fast and on when it comes to doing NEW stuff! That is part of the secret to SUCCESS!

I know that David and Lya enjoyed Gothenburg and that they can't wait to come back - a lot thanks to YOU guys!!!

My 2 SUPERMEN together - doe's it get any better ;)

David is such a humble teacher - he can teach anyone - and sees THE PERSON and helped him/her to pour magic into their postures! I love watching the transformation happen as I got to sit next to him on many of his private sessions!

Thursday night we were invited to the KONSERTHUSET by Karin! WOW!!!

After the concert we got to meet GUSTAVO DUDAMEL himself - he said that he would LOVE to play around with Yoga someday :) To me he is a natural YOGI!

After the concert we went to FAMILJEN and ate ELK :) YUM YUM YUM!!!!



After 5 classes with Superman my body felt like it was opening up from the INSIDE - amazing feeling!

What better way to round up the weekend than with SNOW and Liseberg :)

This week is full of teaching Privates, classes, a new PT session - Exciting!!! Studying the new BB as I am teaching it in Halmstad and Malmö the coming weekend!

And yes - just looked at venues for YOGA GAMES 2011!

Wat do you prefer in June?!

SVENSKA MÄSSAN

Getting my MOJO back

MO:
First of all: a girl who likes her shopping stayed in front of her computer at 8am sharp.
It didn't really fly though, since the H&M virtual shop was crowded to the brim for the rest of the morning/day.
Grrrrr... Good marketing or not, it doesn´t go down well with me when you either have to queue in the cold outside your local H&M for hours, or hit the F5 button about 1.000 times in an hour and still not be able to spend your hard earned cash on the dress you´ve been drooling over.

Imagine my surprise, when I several hours later, visited a H&M shop to buy Robin new socks and found 1 of THE dresses almost in my size!

What a relief, because live it didn´t look anything like in the picture...

This, according to me, is the problem with haute couture designers doing clothes for normal people:

1. The materials are not even close to what they normally work with which makes the items look...well, not that expensive OR well made.

2. The clothes shown in the promotion movies are usually made with the real deal, which increases your expectations immensly.

3. Haute Couture designs are not made to be "compromised".

It happened with the Cavalli-collection, to the Jimmy Choo-collection and very much this time, with the Lanvin-collection. I´d rather buy normal H&M gear any day, actually.

In the evening I spent 90 minutes getting my MOJO back!

An hour and a half with Mr. Multi-Intenso, ass-kicked my joy and playfulness for yoga into shape. Just what the doctor ordered.

Thank you David and thank you JO for setting it up.

Said dress.

Mr. Multi-Intenso.

Christine & JO after class. Shining!

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...

MAGIC!

Is very interesting!

Today was a day spent with LOVELY Yoga instructors from SPORTLIFE!

THANK you for dedicating your time and breath 2day!

I am specially pleased with THE SURPRISE - that SUPERMAN himself - Mr David Multi-Intenso came and taught a workshop EXCLUSIVELY for these instructors :)




It was magic !

What was you might ask :)

Well - first of all for me to watch the yogis listen, take in and be inspired by this man (especially since many of them has taken my GLOBAL YOGA Teacher Training :)
To see him - adjust, share and really listen to the yogis in the room - skills of a true TEACHER according to me!
And for myself - to again PRACTICE with him!

Now - landing at HOME :)

LOVE

COWABUNGA Jo

Wanna play with SUPERMAN?

SUPERMAN is COMING TO my CITY :)
Jihooooo!!!

Weather you're a yogi, student or teacher, someone who is fascinated about being a HUMAN BEING you have to come to this! Take one class, two or all FIVE!!!
The sessions are filled with POWER and David is a a GREAT teacher meaning that he con not only do COOL stuff - but actually TEACHES IT!!!


David Andre Regelin is a native new yorker. His practice of yoga began in 2001.
His first official teacher training was in the free-form vinyasa style. His early teaching style was a very athletic and highly energetic Vinyasa blend with Kung Fu influences. David later discovered Dharma Mittra which shifted his intention to spiritual cultivation. Soon after David discovered the potency and magic of Yogi Bhajan's Kundalini yoga, and the depth, precision, metaphor and fluency of Esoteric Taoist Yoga with Nevine Michaan.
Davids goal as teacher is to teach students to "be a light unto oneself" (krishnamurti), and use the discipline of yoga as a means to that end.
David named his class Multi-Intenso as it is intense in multiple ways with multiple influences and multiple dimensions.
check out www.multi-intenso.com for more info.



class descriptions:
multi-intenso is a powerful physical yoga practice. it combines techniques from various disciplines, such as gymnastics, modern dance, and pilates to form a fluid moving meditation set to music.

MO:
Back in Gothenburg after an action packed week in Djerba.
I feel happy and blessed.
For a pilot project, it felt great.
There are always things to work at and I already know which things to keep and which things to change for next time, but all in all, I´m very pleased with the week.
I´m particularly pleased with the group.
What a lovely crowd!
Mixed ages, couples, singles, friends, training pros, beginners, golfers, yogis, men, women, daughters, mothers, etc etc - what a mixed bunch, with one thing in common: the love of movement and the will and drive to discover something new.

THANKS to ALL for making this a week to remember, I´m humbled by your prescense.
