Lotta

I won’t let go of: Meditation. Pausing with yourself creates a certain kind of atmosphere for the whole day.

I get inspired by: love

teaching style: Depends on the students. Technical if needed, between gentle and demanding, or just holding space.

first touch with yoga: Introduction to Ashtanga course on Easter in 2001.

a book that changed my life: Clarissa Pinkola Estés: Naiset jotka kulkevat susien kanssa

Lotta, a passionate yogi and a meditation enthusiast, started teaching in 2004. Her love for yoga has carried for a couple of decades and the practice has been a big support both in everyday life and its storms. In Ashtanga, Lotta is enchanted by its magnificent balancing ensemble, where you get the benefits of exercise, the vitality of breathing and the state of gaze meditation. In addition to Ashtanga, Lotta also teaches other forms of yoga and emphasises a gentle, safe, individualistic approach in her teaching.

Lotta teaches classes in Finnish.
