About Jenny & Igor

We have always seen the exploration of freedom and the process of self discovery as priorities in this human journey through life. Jenny worked as contemporary dancer and choreographer for many years, performed in theatres all over the world, travelled and lived the life of a curious artist before that very curiosity lead her into the footsteps of meditation practice, the study of yoga, shiatsu and more recently martial arts. Igor spent his youth reading philosophy and wondering about the place of man in the cosmos and the meaning of life, while simultaneously struggling to wrap up his studies as an engineer and dreaming of becoming a professional football player. He never did, his interest for humans, for their hearts and minds was far stronger than the one he felt for machines or footballs, and similarly to Jenny, that interest dropped him at the footsteps of yoga, meditation and his practice as a Shiatsu therapist.

We fell in love with it, with a life lived from meaning up, from inwards out, from the relationship that one has with oneself and with life itself. And we fell in love with each other, which set in motion a love and dharma marriage that continues to this day. For the last 15 years we have been teaching and inspiring people to practice, sharing our understanding of how the human mind, heart and body work, and the importance of compassionate love as the fabric from which to weave a meaningful and joyful life.

We are not bound to a singular tradition of formal yoga/meditation practice exclusively, we use all that we learn through our lives: from the detailed introspection of Vipassana meditation to the austere centering quality of Zen, from the flowing movement of Vinyasa styles or dance’s Contact Improvisation techniques to the concreteness and precision in structural alignment of Iyengar or Ballet, from the loving kindness emanating from Tibetan Buddhism to the understanding of ki and inner fire of martial arts. And more. We learn from anything and channel all learnt knowledge into our practice and our teachings. If it's human, if it makes you grow, if it makes you love yourself and others deeply, then, meditate with it: it is practice, it is you.

Jenny

Fascinated by this body and its ability for movement, in love with the human mind and the world it has created, i have dedicated my life to study both. I dance, train in martial arts and practice yoga and meditation with passion, constantly rediscovering who I am.

Besides our retreats, you can practice with me in Stockholm

Igor

I explore myself and life with gratitude and joyful curiosity, and assist and support people in their process of awaking using Shiatsu, breath and meditation as the primary tools.

Besides our retreats, you can take part in one of my workshops or book me for private lessons or a Shiatsu treatment.
