Kirsti

Great Books Have Been Prevalent Since Childhood. As A Very Good Handball Player, Kirsti Also Continued To Pump Iron For Years. When She Was A Young Adult Kirsti Became Familiar With Different Genre Of Music. She Was Also A Radio Listener & Read The Studentpaper Universitas Every Week. Further, Kirsti Grew An Interest In Woody Allen & Ingmar Bergman. She Also Loved Having Tea Parties & Used Aroma Lamps.

To Work- & Study Abroad, As Well As Traveling, Were Her Main Passions Before Kirsti Found Yoga & Meditation. Vegan Lifestyle Came As A Result Of That. Now She Has A Regular Western Diet Again.

Classical Yoga

In 2017 Kirsti Took A 500 Hours Classical Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) Taught By The Hellman’s @Yoga Skyros, Glyfada, Greece. The YTT Was Registered By The Yoga Alliance.

Yoga Definition

Yoga Asanas/Exercises Are A Way To Start The Process For Our Mind To Be In Conscious Awareness. The Goal Is To Calm Our Mental Activity And Open Our Spiritual Center.

History

Yoga Began With The Vedas And Ancient Tantra 5 000 Years Ago. The Earliest Text Is The Bhagavad Gita, The Lord´s Song. It Is Written 2 500 Years Ago.

Classical Yoga 

Classical Yoga Springs Out From The Sivananda Yoga Tradition. Its Founder Swami Satyananda Saraswati (SS) Lived With His Guru, Swami Sivananda, For Over 10 Years. In 1962 SS Founded The International Yoga Fellowship Movement. Its Aim Of Creating A Global Fraternity Of Yoga Was Accomplished. His Mission Was Revealed To Him At Munger, Bihar, India, He Therefor Established The Bihar School Of Yoga In Munger In 1963/64. Before Long His Teachings Were Rapidly Spreading Throughout The Globe. SS Wrote Over 80 Books. »SS Was Well Versed In The Knowledge Of Tantra, The Sublime Truths Of Vedanta, The Upanishads And Puranas, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Islam And Christianity, Including A Modern Scientific Analysis Of Matter And Creation.”

Classical Yoga Does Not Adhere To Any Dogma Or Religious Beliefs. It Provides For Everybody, Regardless Of Social, Racial, Political Or Religious Background, With Tools For Health, Peace Of Mind, Happiness, Joy, Well-being And An Inspired Vision For Their Lives. Practitioners Of Classical Yoga Are Of All Ages, Levels Of Fitness And Come From Many Walks Of Life.

Yin Yoga

In 2019 Kirsti Took A 50 Hours Yin Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) By Evolation Yoga At Sola, Norway. The YTT Was Registered By The Yoga Alliance & Arranged By Lise Tomasetti At Hot Yoga, Now Heat Fitness Club.

Before The YTT Kirsti Attended A Yin Class At Jivamukti Yoga Stavanger Where She Experienced A Pain Release. This Was The First Time Kirsti Got Painfree After A Yoga Class. Yin Was Definitely Something For Her Body, Mind & Spirit.

After The YTT Kirsti At Home Used The Complete Guide To Yin Yoga By Bernie Clark. She Did The Asana In The Same Order As The Book, And Got Completely Painfree. See The Post An Accident For All The Other Things I Did.

Iyengar

This Is The Best Yoga Asana For My Head-, Neck-, Shoulder-, Arm- & Back Pain. I Have Been Doing This Asana This Way Since Spring 2024. First, For Over A Year I Did It Regularly 4-6 Times A Week For Over An Hour Each Time. Secondly, The Next Year I Did It A Couple Of Times A Week For Over An Hour Each Time. I Use A Futon Mat Because It Is Thick, Hence I Can Lay Longer.

Asana 

Use A Futon Mat, Set An Iyengar Chair On The End Of The Mat. Put An Iyengar Blanket On The Chair.

Sit Down In Front Of The Chair. Put Your Legs On The Chair & Lay Down. Put A Blanket Over You & Lay An Eye Pillow On Your Eyes.

Advice

Reading Books Have Been Prevalent Since Childhood, As A Student I Also Read Many Novels. In 2003 I Started To Listen To Audiobooks. From 2005-2011 I Used Tibi, An Audiobook Library, & Listened To Around 2000 Books. To Find The Best Books Look At The Winner Of The Nobel Prize In Literature, The New York Times Bestseller List & The Booker Prize. For Magazines I Choose Vanity Fair & Wallpaper.
