Time for Spring

MO:
... Which means "run" in Swedish! :)



Today was a pink day-and a rest day for the Lunarelites, so I was wearing my "old" favorites, Zoom Air instead.

LOVE and HURT

Sitting on a black leather sofa at ORO in NoLita after a beautiful Saturday that started out with a morning walk up to 5th Avenue/29th Street where one of my ABSOLUTE fav teachers has his little KULA - SANKALPA, means INTENTION!

My BODY aches - after a year with no that much yoga due to my KNEE (love u) and then 3 weeks of fever - let me tell you! I do fell the 5 classes = 10 h of yoga that is now in my body, Ouch, in a good way ;)


What a FUL ON class! + Isaac gives the MOST amazing adjustments on this side of the SUN!
After almost 2 hours of upsidedown insideout we went to the farmers market in Union Sq, and al of the sudden I got an urge to do yoga again :) So I went to Jivamukti YUM!!!

Now I'm chillin here before the SATURDAY night breaks LOSE in this wicked life!

I do miss u guys!

THIS IS PURE LOVE - ENJOY!
Jo

Spring is finally here

MO:
...and this is what we did this afternoon:

Robin on the bike for the first time! Wearing a helmet (the smallest size there is), his "survival"-all-in-one and...wait for it: his Star Wars-moccasins...hmmm...maybe not completely thought through...I need to get him proper shoes.

LIVE NYC

Coming at ya from the Jivamukti Café after a 2hour class with Uma Thurmans brother!

LIFE IS GOOD :)

Why Do I LOVE this city?

Let me tell you:

1. The streets BREATH creativity
2. After just 12h in this city (6,5 spent sleeping and 3 spent travelling) I've already talked to 5 strangers!!!! THEY started talking to me :) One took a photograph of my hair, one loved my shoes (NIKE Lunar Jihaaa!!), one said I ROCKED pink, one said I had the most amazing eyes, one gave me a total NECK/HEAD Massage YUM. When was the last time that happened in GBG?
3. YOGA YOGA YOGA - In the café right now putting structure on my weeks, what classes to take.... FULL ON!
4. This City never sleeps! - Went for tea and cake last night at 2am, sitting outside in the buzz of NOHO
5. YOGA YOGA YOGA
6. Beautiful People EVERYWHERE (And with beauty I mean people expressing themselves, being totally and fully THEM :)

Thank you for the NYC TIPS! If anyone has more - BRING THEM ON!

NOW Planning time before my next 2 hour session at KULA YOGA :)

OM SHANTI ;) JO

So good it's bad

MO:

I´m lactose intolerante.

I love ice-cream.

Is it a good idea to go to Belgiska Pralinboden on the day that they recieve this season´s ice-cream from Lejonet & Björnen?

Errrrr....Do I have to answer that?

Over 20 flavours. Untouched. Well, until I got to the shop, that is.

Hazelnut is my all time favourite...that and rum/raisin (an old ladies flavour according to my sis...), and pecan nut, and tiramisu, and....well, you get the point...

By the way, was I drunk when I agreed to sub a yoga class tomorrow morning at 6.45am in Sisjön???

I must have been...

Love on a Plane

Jo

I´m on FIRE today!!!

MO:

...in a GREAT way!!!

I mean really.

Was it:

a)because of the 2 cappuccinos I inhaled this morning together with a NY-City high-JO?

b) because of the INCREDIBLY exciting subjects that were dealt with during said fika?

or

c) because of the 3 multi-fab classes (with gorgeous students included!) that I had the privilege to teach today?

Right answer:

All of the above! :)

Are you X or Y kinda guy?

Are you one of those who WATCH or DO sport:?




Apparently there's a BIG game going on tonight :)

I'm learning so much!!!

Running Snob

MO:

My 7k run tonight felt ridiculously great!

You know, it was one of those workouts when you sport a stupid smile throughout.

My running this spring is about comfort and consistency right now, since my real focus is on STRENGTH until June.

Therefore I rarely push it during my weekly runs and there is definitely no snot, drool or other unattractive bodily fluids leaving my body throughout my sessions.

I don´t care if people run past me.

Or, I should say: I don´t care if certain people run past me.

I even step out of my way for high tech sportswear-, lycra-, dri-fit-, the latest models of running shoes-, this season´s wind jackets, proper running socks- and POLAR/Garmin/NIKE Sportsband-wearers...

What I do not tolerate - and let me admit it straight away: I AM A RUNNING SNOB (and do not mix this up with being elitist. I consider everybody who runs to be a runner)- is when I am overtaken by a cotton T-shirt-/washed out baggy cotton pants-/football shorts from the 19th century-/old indoor bandy shoe-wearer.

Then and only then, my fiery, competitive spirit awakens and I push and push and push until I´m next to, and then past this unworthy human being.

It´s like all my gadgets, all my wiring - (hello! HOW MUCH technology can one wear for a run??? Polar watch, heart rate chest strap, foot pod, iPod player, headphones, NIKE+, NIKE+ Sportsband...), my expensive clothing and this season´s shoes, just HAVE to make me a better runner than "them"!

Because if that is not the case, I am no better than the ridiculous case of a person at the top of the ski slopes who FALLS out of the chair lift, tangled into everybody else´s equipment, wearing the most expensive gear, with all the right labels, but who just ends up on his designer dressed butt over and over again, with no idea how to ski.....and that would just be so, so sad, wouldn´t it?

Inspiration

MO:

Yesterday I felt no inspiration whatsoever.

I didn´t feel like training, I didn´t want to go anywhere, I didn´t want to meet anyone.

I just wanted to stay at home, hang with my family and watch great English TV over the internet.

So that´s what I did.

Today´s been different.

I started off with a sleep-in, since Robin decided that this was a good morning to sleep until 9. YES!

I had a brunchy breakfast consisting of tex-mex mince, boiled eggs and hot Earl Grey tea.

When P came back from his morning activity - which included getting up at 4.30am to go fishing at 5am, (yeah, yeah, I know) - I pushed through a Kettlebell session in the center of my living room floor.

I finally pulled myself together and did the 100 snatches. In 4min 20 seconds.

It wasn´t pretty, but hey, it´s not a beauty contest.

I had a much better flow the other day, when I did 50 - 50 (with about 1min rest inbetween) , because I felt more explosive then...but the important thing is to have enough 100 sessions in my body when I go to Copenhagen to feel assured that I can fly through the test.

Anyway, after KB-training, I met JO for coffee. She looked RADIANT, my beautiful partner, even if she´s not 100% recovered yet.

Tonight I´m teaching Hot MOJO at 17.30 and I´m having a bunch of friends joining the class, most of which don´t do yoga at all - coolio!

21.31 THANKS to ALL 65 individuals who joined the Hot MOJO class tonight!

Members, newbies, family, collegues and friends... You INSPIRE me!

What inspires you today?

My gorgeous P.

Finding his inspiration by the ocean this morning, long before decent people even dream about getting up.

Amazingly beautiful, though.

Arty Easter

Just back in GBG after lovely days in the south!

Spending time with the people you love gotta be on the top of the list of life energy rigth:?

First a day with just momy and me, then adding Bro to complete the trio! And when you thought things couldn't get any better the Amazing AndyK and Grandma showed up :)

Spent our days talking, eating, visiting the KonstRundan - over 200 artists open up their homes/studios during 10 days so thattje public get to see their works and talk to them.

First you go to the big collection where every artist gets to show one piece. You pick the ones you like and then you're off...




We have to set a limit of 2-3 artists per person otherwise you have to travel for days and days!



Luckilly we kinda liked the same artists :)
Here Mom showing us how to REALLY look at art ;)

This week will be preparations for NYC and focus on getting Really well!

Love Jo

Tired?

MO:
Maybe join a flash mob?

Pillow fighting flash mob at Järntorget, Göteborg

Or a hot MOJO class?
Stina's class this morning was packed with familiar faces. Nice to see you all!
Robinho joined P at the gym. All that attention made him this tired:


I'm off to have cake now!
Enjoy your evening. :)

"Lazy" Easter

MO:
A "lazy" holiday in my household normally contains some kind of training each day. Today's workout? A 6k buggy run, with increased intensity during the 'hills'. Legs and body felt fantastic!
Now its time for the lazy part: yummy dinner in the country!
Enjoy your Friday, folks.

One flew over the ko-ko-nest

Ah what e feeling! Finaly a little less fever :)

Yum!!!

And I'm in Skane - the land of Love!
Good thing I'm here cause I was starting to go slightly crazy, koko, speedylee, maniac.... To the line where I could no longer hide it from my "new" loved ones so it's a good thing I escaped to homeland where I can let her out and still seem relatively sane!

Everything is relative right!
I mean just picture MOM screaming at her art scholors
- No!!!! Don't kill the fly, I won't live that long if you do!!!

Explaining it with: I got a horoscope from Dalai Lama saying I should save little animals or I'll be reborn as one!

Of course! Eh....

Also - Mom loves Easter cause al you need is some yellow and purple and she likes those colours anyway....




Happy Easter loved ones
