The day after the BLAST in OSLO

MO:

Is it ok to be in love with your business partner? I am.

Fierce JOJO during my kettlebell class on Saturday.

Don´t ask me what they´re up to, but preparing for having their picture taken....

Febs and Jo

What is it with me and Finnish men???

Kimmo - the coolest guy in Helsinki

Dinner on Saturday was a BLAST! Believe me!

Bruno, Camilla, Åsa, Febbe, Matt, Anette & Jessica.

I laughed so much and so hard, my abs were sore the next day!

Photograph borrowed from Jessica.

We´ve known each other for years, but it´s not until the last year or so that we´ve been able to spend more time together. I love this girl. She has so many wonderful qualities, I could go on for days. A true friend and gorgeous personality sums it up.

Jessica, Åsa & Maria warming up before the dinner

Åsa (my abs hurt a lot thanks to this cool cat) & Camilla - Pretty and FUN!

You could think they are brothers lost at birth... ;)

Bruno (I KNEW you could sing!!! Always suspected it!) and Matt.

The one and only. She works HARD for her money: Lina Andersson - NIKE Wizard.

Thank you for 2 magical weekends!

Febbe, Anette & Matt looking happy and less hungry.

A HUGE shout out to wonderfully talented Tony Stone.

The man, the myth, the legend.

There are several reasons to why this man is still at the top of his game

(except from pure talent and hard work).

A few of them:

* humbleness

* professionalism

* curiousness

* kindness

* straight forwardness

also, after so many years in the industry he´s still to this day participating in other

presenters´classes and showing great interest in other people´s work.

WOW.

MOJO salutes you, Mr. Stone!

After the BLAST

WOW!!!

Thank you ALL of you for SMASHING 3 days :)

Straight from London and Ana Forrest with the SUNSHINE KAKAN :)

Grrrrrr!

Landed 3am in my bed Thursday night - woke up 6am ready for the NIKE weekend to HIT!

How can I sum it up into words?!
Not sure if I can but I do have the THEME word for the Weekend - HAPPINESS!




I Make Myself HAPPY seemed to be on every bodies lips - and I just LOVE it!

So many people, crowded classes, HARD kick ass classes - and still people were smiling, helping each other out instead of bitching or complaining!

I am truly IMPRESSED! You all inspire me!

FRIDAY
An evening of Smooth MOJO FLOW at METROPOLIS! I like that studio so so much! If I lived in Sthlm that's where I'd be training. Great functional gym and sweet studio overlooking the city!




SATURDAY
Cowabunga!
Started with the MULTINTENSO class - supporting David on stage, wow I love YOGA, and I love it the MultiIntenso way!

Pic - Cecilia Duberg

Got my LUNGS all warmed up after that in D'Silvas Garuda class before I had to run and change for my own - YOGA TRANCE DANCE!

I admit that I kept thinking - Why the f... did I agree on doing this class on the BIG stage. It's quiet a different class and I wasn't sure that the participants would be up for it...

Pic - Träningsglädje :)

Was I wrong or what?!
NEVER underestimate your fellow human beings! People opened their hearts, bodies and minds! I am forever grateful, thank you!
And thank you Miss PRANA Cecilia G for the play on stage with me :)

After the Yoga Trance Dance I was first filled with energy and kept going with Cecilas Organic Bodywork class. She left us in a sweet sweet relaxation - something I really needed and never really snapt out of for the rest of that evening!

The combo of the anxiety over my own class, would it work?! Are people willing?! Am I a crazy person?! and the lack of sleep rushed over my like a 4 year old... Me and A took a cab back to the hotel where I ate a whole chicken and then feel asleep.
Recharged for the Presenters DINNER in Gamla Stan :) MUMS

SUNDAY
Woke up feeling excited and nervous (again hahaha that's new for me :) preparing for my NIKE FREE! Nrevous becuase I knew it would kick my ASS...

And it did!
It turns out it kicked my ASS wearing TROSOR (I thought they were tiny shorts?!)

MAN - people have got a lot of energy in them! The NIKE FREE class was a POWERsession and today I feel it more than ever :)
Knowing if I rest I will feel it more I went straight to Davids Yoga class where I could rest my ass and hold my arms up in the air for 11min instead :) Hahaha the yin and yang of life!

Some shaking with MO to PETTER on the big stage before it was time to hit the stage one last time - BALLISTIC Style! A feminine, fun, organic BALL class to wrap up the weekend!
5min to get my stuff, run to the bus and cathc the train - Jihaaa Ballistic it is ;)

Train home after some sweet thai food and LOVE next to me :)

Pic - Magnus G

MONDAY
I had a session with my PT - can you believe it?! I hardly could!!! But it went better than I thought!
After that i landed in my sofa and stayed there :)

Today is back in business with my clients!
Well not totally back into the routines - I think someone is planning to surprise me tonight... hihihihhihihih

I LOVE U guys! Truly!
Thank you for the war words, the warm smiles, the happy bodies this weekend! I am grateful!

SHOUT OUT AND LOVE BOMBS TO:

My partner in Crime - MO
My LOVE - A
The Boss, The Blonde, The Babe - LINA!!!!

Now OSLO - R u ready?!

Weekend in January

MO:

January has officially started!

Worked with Sierra, Maria, Jessica & Jaime for 2 days, perfecting their kettlebell skills at MyrbergBjörn. Heaps of sweat, swings and smiles! I love weekends like this, when you get to work with what you love, have great friends around AND sleep in your own bed! :)

Sierra, Maria, Jess & Jaime

After the course finished on Sunday, P and I made a quick visit to do half an hour in the gym (yes, training.) and sneak in for a picture

during

"The Shack".

Magnus & Jessica will ROCK the HOUSE next weekend at NIKE Stockholm!

Damn, I feel like the proud mother...

How well would you say the Incycle team knows me, when they got me THIS as a birthday present?! An absolutely wickedly, amazing bracelet from Fairytale, which I have been drooling over since I first saw it! It´s so me, it´s scary.

A thousand thanks to Linda, Magnus & Jessica, I truly love you guys!

Girls night out

MO:
We see each other too rarely, but when we do - sparks fly!

Anything goes: family, travels, fashion, work, relationships, work, children, a tiny bit of training (I´m the only one who´s a fitness nut in this company), social media, more work... I think you get the point.

Only one of us is employed, and her position is so special that she hardly knows her own title.

It could be: "SupadupamegamanagerbossresponsibleforestablishingthebusinessinHKandmainlandChina", but I´m sure that would not make her justice.

For the rest of us it´s the love and juice and challenge and freedom and creative madness that is self-employment, that´s the name of the game. Hence the work talk. And we´re not even close to being in the same line of work, which makes it even more interesting.

What is VERY predictable is where we go for food.

The Asian Invasion crew ALWAYS head down to the same Chinese restaurant.

Well, to be fair, we tried to go somewhere else tonight, but it turned out they´re closed Sundays. Their loss.

HOW predictable...

I LOVE these 3 gals, I really do.

Beautiful both on the inside as well as the outside.

And yes, the photographs are not supposed to do us justice. I like to keep this crew to myself.

At least for a little while longer.

Final Destination

May you all stay aligned with your heart's fire and use yoga as your vehicle for the journey with no return-ticket...

Women who had IT in 2010

MO:

The year is coming to and end. Business wise, it has been an extraordinary year in many ways, with both highs and lows. The last couple of months turned out to be a rollercoaster ride that had more turns and twists than Balder... I´m ready to leave 2010 behind and LEAP into 2011. What will I bring and what will I leave behind in these new and fresh and exciting days ahead?

I will bring:

- more family time and less weekend work

- more work structure. I have an office from February 1, only that in itself will bring 100% better organization.

- my business partnerships. The only way to go.

- team work. I love my Incycle-crew!

- curiousness and courage.

What I will leave behind:

- a couple of really bad business deals, which sucked, but where I also learned a lot.

- the stress of the last 6-8 weeks of 2010. Some days I actually hardly recognized myself.

- not taking enough time off-for travelling, training and reading.

Who inspired me in 2010?

My family.

My students.

My team.

My new collaborations and partnerships.

Any famous people? Not that many actually, but here´s a few that did:

For her music, her charisma, but most of all for leaving the man who abused her and going public with it.

For her straightforwardness, her love of designer clothes, her "toys" and houses she bought herself - for her own money - in her LBZ (life before

Z) and how she indeed stands firmly on her own two legs, managing not only two, but in my opinion, three kids, one of which happens to be Sweden´s most famous footballer.

For her raw and real talent. For the full 3 pages spread in one of my favourite magazines, the British Marie Claire. For actually properly dressing up on the red carpet. For daring to leave, in more ways than one.

Does anything need to be said? Best song of the year, 2010, according to P3 is "Dancing on my Own". Of course. A social media QUEEN. Business- and entrepreneur savvy as few. Strong. Forward. And owned only by herself.

But, my biggest source of inspiration 2010 has come from a place very much closer to home.

With a few weeks exception during this last year, it has been my weekly fikas with the woman to the left in the photograph above that has been the most inspiring, fun, creative, mad and absolutely bloody wonderful. Thank you for 2010, JOJO.

2011 will be the year of the MOJO.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, MOJOs

MAKE all your wishes come true.

What's LO(ndon)VE got to do with it...

YEUP!!
On our way to London to celebrate LOOOOVE!

Could it get any better?

Yoga, Champagne, dinners, clubbing, dancing, shopping, strolling, fika :)

It is our BELOVED YOGINI KATY APPLETON who is marrying her PRINCE JACK :)
Whoop Whoop Whoop


Me and A make sure we get there in time ( so we can enjoy the city before THE PARTY!)


See u in 2011

Lots and LOTS of LOVE to you MOJO's!

You are with me in body, mind and spirit(us)

LIVE JUL :)

DIGITALT Julkort :)


MERRY MERRY XMAS

LOVE Jo + Mo

JULens Gyllene regler!!!

• Det som du äter när ingen ser, det har inga kalorier.
  (enligt den kända PR-devisen: syns du inte så finns du inte)
• När du dricker en lättdryck tillsammans med en chokladkaka, kommer kalorierna i chokladkakan att bli nollade av lättdrycken.
  (matematikens första huvudsats: +1 – 1 = 0 )
• När du äter tillsammans med andra, räknas bara de kalorier som du äter mer än dem.
  (allt är relativt – enligt Nobelpristagaren Albert Einstein, 1905. Och han brukade inte ha fel.)
• Mat som intas för medicinskt ändamål (som t.ex. varm choklad, rödvin, whisky, etc.) räknas aldrig.
  (är du det minsta tveksam? fråga din läkare)
• Ju mer du fetar upp dem som till vardags finns runt dig, desto smalare verkar du själv.
  (Einsteins relativitetsteori igen, tänk bara vad mycket den kan förutsäga!)
• Mat (t.ex. popcorn, jordnötter, läskedryck, choklad och karameller) som intas som en del av underhållningen när du ser på film eller hör på musik, innehåller inte kalorier eftersom den inte intas såsom föda, utan som en del av underhållningen.
  (enligt Svensk Film- och Musikindustri AB)
• Kakor innehåller inte något fett om du bryter dem och intar bit för bit, eftersom fettet förångas när kakorna bryts.
  (Tänk bara på att göra det inomhus, ute i kylan förångas fettet dåligt!)
• Allt som slickas från knivar, skedar eller annat när du lagar mat, innehåller inte kalorier eftersom de är ett led i matberedningen.
  (var bara försiktig när du slickar knivar, blod innehåller kalorier!)
• Mat med samma färg har samma kaloriinnehåll (t.ex. gult äpple och ostkaka, tomater och jordgubbssylt).
  (Här kommer en vinnande förklaring: kalorierna sitter i färgen på maten och här gäller "lägsta värdets princip", en regel enligt svenska bokföringslagen)
• Mat som är fryst innehåller inte kalorier, eftersom kalorier är en värmeenhet.
  (också fysik, tänk vad mycket vetenskapen har att lära oss.... -OBS! gäller även om du använder kJoule, Joule är ju också en värmeenhet)

Hahahaahahaha

I wish I could translate this but I am laughing to much!!!!

This is it - ENJOY!!!

It's all about the YIN and YANG peops ;)

Upcoming

MO:

I´m lucky.

I have amazing friends.

They are funny, kind, smart, super sociable and crazy. Hence the great madness and many laughs when I had a bunch of them around our house last night to celebrate my upcoming 4.0.

The theme, of course, was glamour. Something you can´t have enough of as a toddler parent...:)

Quite a few bottles of champagne later, we kept going until 3am.

And as the famous saying goes, what happens at the party stays at the party...

Wearing this gorgeous silk designer dress for the first time. Exquisite, with hand sown sequins. Remember, a girl can NEVER have too many sparkly dresses!

Together with Elaine & JO.

GLITTER and GLAMOUR

At MO's in a minute :)
Jippjiee

I am so ready - 30 pull ups, champagne and knäck as a warm up :)

Just waiting for my Handsome other grown up half to enter LA CASA so we can go and DANCE DANCE DANCE

Hipp hipp hurra

By the way - I am so pleased with my gift :)))


LOVE Jo

RELAXED :)

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. ♥

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?!
