Friday Flow Jo

A Yoginis World

I know I’m a yogi when I look at this and think ‘wow, I bet she does a lot of spinal twists’!!!

The day has been spent shooting pics for THE YOGA GAMES - jihoo I am so excited over this event! So many GREAT teachers coming to Gothenburg JUNE 3-5!!!

And you know what - I'm the girl how just can't get motivated by achieving things like handstand, being able to do bendalloverasanas, lifting heavy things, running a distance in a certain time. Am I not competitive - HELL Yeah I am. But I just don't find it motivating to train for things like that! I do yoga and sports because it makes me feel SO GOOD! That is enough for me :)

AND - this is what I am coming to hihi - Today I managed to do several poses that I for sure couldn't do last year - I haven't practised particularly for them, they just happened today :)

Must mean that my training is spot on!

Cowabunga!

How about you?!

LOVE Jo

Sweet Morning

Nu kör vi!!!

Global Yoga part 3 coming up!

Oh so excited.
It is a pretty FULL on 3 days - but I've played with al the yogis before and I know that they are ready for this transformation :)

Lets dive deep into the world of body mind and soul

Aho Jo ;)

Make ROOM for 2011

MO:

It´s almost a year ago I had my two tattoos done. Time certainly moves on. I was more than convinced that those two would be my last ones, but 365 days later, I´m not so sure anymore. Maybe it IS an addiction?

Anyway, today was spent making room. Literally.

I sold more stuff on Blocket, rearranged Robin´s wardrobe, his nappy changing corner, and started to plan for the office move.

I absolutely love selling, giving, donating and throwing stuff away. For me, making room in your living quarters is more than equivalent to making more room in your life. I feel lighter, happier and more energetic afterwards.

I also had time to hit the weights.

Squats 5x5 at 85%

KB cleans 4x6 2x16kg

Bar rows 3x10 increasing weight

Pistols 3xmax on each leg

Trapz work with rubber band 3x20

I was so spent after, that I almost fell down the stairs outside the gym. Fab day!

Getting our GROOVE on

MO:
I joined Misty this morning in her GROOVE class at Gymnasium.
It was awesome to see the transformation in the group, going from slightly stiff to living it out fully, Misty-style.
This woman has an amazing gift to get people feeling comfortable and beautiful in their own skin.

Ps. If you missed the class today, you´ll have a second chance tomorrow at 12.00pm!

With gorgeous friend and dedicated GROOVer: Misty Tripoli

Laying some ground "rules" in the beginning of class: Be yourself and follow your OWN body groove, don´t be "boring" and do what anyone else is doing... Break out of the box...

The whole yummy crew of Gymnasium´s AMAZING GROOVers!

Being unfaithful

MO:
I wrote in my Twitter today:

"I´m so in LOVE with strength training right now,
that even doing yoga make me feel unfaithful..."

Strange, since yoga was my first love out of the two.

I desperately needed this morning´s session with power cleans, military presses, deadlifts and pull-ups. After a crazy four days of spinning galore in Trondheim and a week of work + "only" group training classes in Djerba, my body was craving some heavy weights.
That´s addiction for you.

I topped the day off with a 6-peak-intervall class at 17.30.
Wonderful crowd and more or less all my regulars were present.

I´ll miss them next week, when, instead of sitting on my bike, I´ll be on my 17h+ journey going to SIBERIA for 6 days. Somebody do something... I MUST be mad.

Misty Tripoli is coming to town

MO:
The whole day has passed in 120km/h.
I´m surprised I actually got around to do anything, since I felt like a headless chicken most of the morning, just running around aimlessly.
Right now each day consists of a well structured to-do-list with 3 of the day´s most important things listed. It´s the only way to live my life right now.

Friday-Sunday, my dear friend Misty Tripoli is coming to town!
Misty is a MEGASTAR in the fitness world - several times nominated as the most influential and most innovative dance presenter at different conventions all over the world.
She cannot be described - she must be experienced.

You can dance/train/experience/live/sweat/love Misty´s amazing GROOVE classes at Gymnasium/Elixia Sisjön this coming weekend - Do NOT miss OUT!
Dancer or not dancer, everybody can do her classes - you just need two legs and a heart.

Saturday 10.30-11.30 16 October
&
Sunday 12.00-13.00 17 October

Free for members,
non-members pay 180SEK

Right at the start of "Lengthen & Strengthen"

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.

Lovely ladies getting ready for yoga

Finally, I can tell...

MO:
It´s time to go HOME!

And even as we speak, I´ve started to plan and work and brainstorm for our next Golf & Wellness trip in October 2011.

Well, actually the 3rd training camp for 2011 to be more precise...

I can finally disclose the big SECRET: Incycle has signed with GöteborgsVarvet to be the producer of Varvet´s first ever RUNNING CAMP!

11-18 March 2011, we go to Bahia Feliz in Gran Canaria for a full week of RUNNING, RUNNING and even MORE RUNNING!

...and if running is not your bag, but group training is, Wellness Thailand 13-28 March 2011, might be more your thing? 1 week in paradise together with world-renown names...

You can check it all out on Incycle.se - let me know what you think!

A big shout out to Jessica for the design & Meddi for the technical help.

Live from Djerba

MO:
I wish I had a an orgy of colourful photographs on hand right now, to truly describe the magic of this place, the people, the energy and the amazing surroundings.
I will have some photographs ready for you by tomorrow. I promise.

I actually felt a bit moved tonight when we (delegates and staff) gathered around the live fires at the outdoor restaurant Turquoise for the welcoming speech.

A plan and a dream that started in October 2009 is happening now.
Quite amazing.

Where does TIME travel to???

MO:
...that´s what I REALLY would like to know!
Can you believe it´s soon October? My oh my, I must be getting old or it´s that "having a baby time warp" that has hit me real hard.

Tomorrow, I have clients in the morning, then an important meeting at noon.

My goal is to find the time for a hard run in the afternoon, after a very grown up decision earlier today, which you can hear more about

HERE

Today´s Training

MO:
It´s a challenge doing heavy lifting straight after yoga when your muscles are all stretched out and least of all want to explode into powerful action...

I feel like a pregnant penguin a lot of the time - especially trying to do any plyometric work...

Having said that I am delighted about how my squats are starting to improve!
I´ve gone from a SUPER tight dorsal flexion in my ankles (due to years of cycling) to an almost normal ankle mobility in about a year and a half.

Enough said, you can watch a short clip from today´s training session here. Polishing my technique in frontal squats (40kg), followed by (what should be) 3 explosive (haha-bloody-ha) jumps.

Live from Filborna Arena

MO:
Kettlebell education day 2 at Filborna Arena.
What a lovely group of people! And again - what a great place for training this will be when they open on October 9.

You can watch the facility on Mojolifestyle´s Web TV here.

Had a nice surprise when I ran in to lifting champ/coach no 1 in the lunch room: Anders Lindsjö.
Which was more than convenient since I´ve wanted to get in touch with him for ages. More synchronicity, I guess. :)

THANKS to the Filborna Arena crew - the place where everyone is called Sara ;) - with a special Thank you to Kattiz & Pelle, looking forward to seeing you all very SOON again!

Helsinborg/Skåne rules

MO:

I´m in Helsingborg doing a 2-day kettlebell education for Filborna Arena.

What a beautiful place!

It will definitely be THE place to go to for great training in this city.

The venue is airy, light, functional and kick-ass - all at the same time. They will host Hot MOJO, kettlebell classes, indoor walking, spinning, some Les Mills classes, a new competition swimming pool, a room only for Swissball training, a full size handball court, a juice bar, etc, etc.

I´m in LOVE with their running track - in the gym!!! They also have a phenomenal ceiling height for gymnastic rings/TRX/Red Cord/Anti-gravity yoga/etc.

Why don´t more gyms/clubs play around with these things???

Such amazing training for a fraction of the cost of a bog standard gym machine!

Imagine being able to do sprinting training with your private clients... I drool just thinking about it.

Innovative and forward thinking - 10 out of 10 points to Filborna Arena.
