Thank you so much to Regionteater Väst for the great honor and invitation to share yoga with your wonderful dancers 🙏

Thank you for your presence, openness, and warmth!
I can’t wait to see you on the mat again 🥰

Keep shining 🌟

I was chatting with about life, challenges, and the deep lessons that shape us. And I heard myself say:

"my greatest accomplishment is becoming the person I used to admire." ❤️

As the words came out, my eyes filled with tears and my heart beat a little faster. It's rare that I allow myself to fully receive the applause. Moreover the most important type of applause is my own validation. No external one will make me feel fulfilled if I don't appreciate myself.

There's something beautiful about always striving to grow, to learn, to improve. But in that pursuit, we often forget to pause. We forget how far we've come. We forget to taste the fruit of our own hard-earned efforts.

Over the past 15 years, I've worked intensely on my physical journey - not just to heal and move freely through life and within my own body, but to transform something even deeper. This journey has changed my mind, softened and sharpened my heart, and shaped me into the woman I always dreamed I could be.

Whatever happens from here, happens. But the lessons - those stay!

Because when you truly change, when you evolve from within, no external force can ever take that from you. That change becomes your anchor ⚓ It's who you are when everything falls away.

📸 The photo was taken on a hard bike day - my first 1500m ascent in a single ride. After 30 km I thought I couldn't go on. Despite learning how to eat smarter to fuel these long rides, I had a huge sugar crash and felt I had no more strength to continue. But the same legs I once called "too little" carried me all the way up 😭❤️

Among professionnel athletes and expert cyclists, I was there. No clip shoes. No matching helmet and socks and ridiculously expensive cycling clothes. Just me Lavi in my Adidas sneakers and flat pedals. One of the 5% women on that road that day.

I didn't grow up cycling. I learned how to balance on a bike at 24. For the next 8 years, I rode 3 times. But in the last 5 years, I met my fear face to face and I kept riding ❤️

At one point, I crossed eyes with a badass woman on that road. We smiled at each other. My eyes filled with tears. We both knew.

I am here. This is my moment ❤️

Dear Yogis ❤️

A little change in our weekly schedule!

For the time being, we are replacing the Saturday morning class with a new Friday evening class to test how this works for the group. Many of you have shared that lately Saturday mornings can be hard to fit in, and there’s been growing interest in adding a Friday “after work” session to help you unwind and ease into the weekend.

✨ Introducing: After Work Yoga ✨
🗓 Fridays, 17:30–18:45
📍 Unfold Your Mat Studio
✨ All levels welcome

This class is designed to help you let go of the workweek and welcome the weekend feeling relaxed and renewed.

You can look forward to a delicious mix of gentle movement, moments of stillness, and deep stretching, all wrapped up with a soothing savasana to leave you feeling grounded and replenished.

Each week will bring a fresh theme, shaped by the group’s energy — making every Friday session a unique and inspiring experience!

You can use your regular cards or drop in for this session.

Thank you for being part of this evolving practice with us. I'm excited to share this new Friday rhythm and see how it supports you.

See you on the mat,

Dear Yogis ❤️

I have something special planned, and I would love for you to be part of it!

Save the Date: April 4-6

We’ll leave on Friday afternoon and return on Sunday, creating space to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy time together.

This will be a weekend of movement, stillness, and connection—both with ourselves and with each other.

Whether you come for the yoga, the fresh air, or just to celebrate together, I’d love to have you there!

📍 Location: To be confirmed (but expect somewhere peaceful and beautiful, not far from Gothenburg).
