Late nite

MO:
Late nite work at MyrbergBjörn tonight, when we had parts of BK Wobbler doing Kettlebell/Yoga for 1h.

They worked HARD and there was a HUGE amount of serious faces going around the room...

Well done guys, I´m glad you don´t know where I live once the training soreness will rear its gorgeous face in the next 24-48h or so.... :)

Ready, Steady...oh, where did everyone go?

MO:

Oh. It´s like 2011 made a false start out of the starting blocks and I sort of got left behind, waiting for the judge/referee (or whatever you call them - the ones that stand by the sideline and whistle madly when someone runs off too early) to call everyone back and re-start all over again.

Do you know what I mean?

Anyway, MyrbergBjörn has opened with a bang and I´m A) slowly getting used to being a studio owner and B) even slower at getting used to teaching a heap load of classes again.

I have two more to go tonight, 1 spinning class at Gymnasium/Elixia Sisjön and 1 Kettlebell YIN at MyrbergBjörn.

Wednesdays will be a bit mad this spring.

4 classes AND training with my PT.

But still, I did a PR in deadlifts today! 95kg. 95kg! That IS mad! 1.6 times my own body weight.

Let´s hit 2.0 before the summer.

Two-oh-eleven

MO:

Tomorrow is the official start of 2011.

For me,

for MyrbergBjörn,

for Incycle,

and for the new MOJO.

It´s a truly exciting year ahead and right now I cannot wait to let it loose.

I must admit I felt a bit in awe and I was questioning if I was ready earlier today, but because I have such amazing people around me, the only thing I feel right now is inspiration and dedication.

Bring it on two-oh-eleven - I´m ready!

Up and rollin'

MO:

THANK YOU every single one of you, who came to our open house to mingle, chat and plan for future classes at MyrbergBjörn!!!

...and wow, thank you for bearing gifts, such as flowers, candles, chocolate, home made müseli, and other sweetness!

We should be doing this more often. ;)

The cash registrar wouldn´t fit, because of all the wonderful gifts.

Love THIS life

Little guy during happier mouth days.

MO:

With the little guy having all his remaining teeth coming out at the same time, it´s not much sleep happening in my household at the moment.

It´s awful to see the pain that´s been going on in Robin´s mouth over the last 4 days, accompanied by fever and so much drool you could water the whole Sahara desert...

Focusing at work could be easier.

Lucky I have some lovely, dedicated students to work with!

I have probably said it before, but it´s worth repeating:

by teaching others you always learn something new about yourself.

It´s much more grateful and fulfilling, than I ever could imagine; having your own space.

Only in a few days it´s given me a sense of grounding that is hard to describe.

Started the day off by joining Christine´s class this morning - I LOVE her way of teaching! Good for me that I get to practice with her every week from now on! :)

After a bunch of privates, I picked up our new car... WHOOOOHAAA!

At first I wanted to stripe it: "MyrbergBjörn & MOJO Yoga" or something like that.

When I told P about this, he just stared at me. "You want to do what?"

"You know, stripe it...with a website address...?"

"Eeerr...no"

"What do you mean No?"

By now P is staring at me with that look on his face. He sighs and says:

"Hello? You should NOT be identified with any company of yours whilst driving"

End of discussion.

Shame on Parkeringskontoret that I need to store it in the country until we´ve sold our old car and can apply for a new parking permit...

Oh, well, who cares? I´m happy.

Actually, I love this life.

No, I won´t tell you which make or which reg.nr.

In case I need to honk you and overtake you whilst shaking my head furiously.

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!

CLOSE to OPENING

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!

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!

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.

Storm in a teacup

MO:

The days are disappearing...well, not like sand in a time glass, more like a sandstorm in a tea cup...or something...

Had another great day, which started with me PUSHING myself out the door to go for an early morning run. It was extremely difficult to get myself out of bed to put on my running gear, but fortunately the weather gods were on their brightest mood today and offered a stunningly clear and sunny Gothenburg morning.

Had a lovely meeting with CC, who wanted to discuss entrepreneurship and how to put all those wild, beautiful ideas into action. CC - I am extremely flattered and humbled that you want feedback and input.

I am also absolutely convinced that we will hear/read/see more of this talented woman in the future.

Spent the rest of my working day with Christine, trying to get our heads around BABS, standing orders, cashiers, contracts, schedules, routines, etc etc. Let´s just say there´s more to these bits and pieces than meets the eye and it´s VERY time consuming. Not so much because of us - we are actually incredibly effective - but due to chasing bank people, telecom people, and other loose ends all over the place.

We did get a lot done though, and most importantly, we had serious fun whilst doing it.

Life´s too short to sweat the small stuff.

Starting to come together

MO:

On December 6 we´ll be opening on Engelbrektsgatan 34C...

The good, the bad and the crazy

MO:

What a DAY!

It´s been good (work) and bad (traffic jams and SLOW moving traffic all over) and crazy (not enough hours in a day) - all at the same time.

Is it just me, or does everyone seem to have a super-busy time right now?

I LOVE my PT-clients! They are such fab, hardworking people. I can´t wait to welcome them at MyrbergBjörn instead of having them driving all over the city.

It´s starting to come together. The planning of the studio that is.

Next week we´re off to the printers to make invitations, schedules, price lists + the December schedule and stuff.

You´ll be able to come and play 6-23 December for 595SEK ONLY

(or 100SEK/class).

The full December Schedule will soon be revealed.

We want you to check us out in full force before you make the decision to join us come January 2011... :)

Mark Sunday 12 December in your calendars now,

there´ll be an Open house 12.00-16.00 with GLÖGG and PEPPARKAKOR for anyone who wants to stop by, say hello and have a look around.

AWOL - for sure

MO:

Sorry for going AWOL.

It´s been a hectic day and I have been quite unstructured, or at least that´s what it feels like...

Working a bunch of projects at the same time is mostly very rewarding, but now and again you will get to a point where it´s just a tad confusing. You have so many different paths to choose from that you can´t see the road for all the gravel (a saying that I just decided to make up, BTW).

The work pile hardly even moved after a full day´s dedication - not a good feeling.

What WAS good though:

* Seeing darling JO after 2 weeks apart.

* Training my private clients (amazing women!).

* Setting the spring schedule for MyrbergBjörn.

* Picking up Robin from grandma´s and grandpa´s.

Tomorrow´s a new day! :)
