is the word my neck screamed this morning when I woke up…

And the reason is my own class yesterday, how about that? Ha! 

A lot of throwing, swinging and tossing with the head and upperbody in my new trash jazz choreo last night.

Awesome group - as always! Jazz - every week, thursday´s 7 pm.

Tips for the weekend:

* Lotte, my homie is teaching a halloween yoga class at söder tomorrow morning… bring some of your calm holiday spirit and join her!

* S.A.F.E-convention tomorrow, saturday. It´s at their own education place at Åsögatan, Stockholm. 

* Sunday morning, I´m subbing BODYBALANCE™ at SATS Odenplan. Me and my pink Nike yoga mat will be there 11 am.

2 days classes:

12.30 core @ Tule

19.00 jazz @ Odenplan

20.00 core @ Odenplan

I´m looonging for a new core release now! I don´t really know what happened with the music for the current release… if it got mixed up with some of the senior-classes.

If diversity is the keyworld, I believe you can find that even in newer music

I really like the program - and the exercises - though, so I´ll keep my fingers crossed for an injection of energy and freshness in the issue of music for the upcoming release in a month.

…started off early, and some of the stuff I´ve been doing today is: 

Been to a lecture at Fitness Magazine - about the information flow and digital progress

Meeting with my boss at Les Mills - for some career development

Taught my beloved classes at Fridhemsplan - core & street dance. Despite this week of fall holiday it was a good crowd there to shake their assets…Next week we´re up for new choreo!

Wednesday = Fridhemsplan, and my two classes there.

Last week I said that I might do a new choreo a week earlier, since I have a song that I wanna coreograph to - but I´ve got some wishes from participants to do the same one more time. So I´ll do that - and save my new song for next week…

I´ll stick with An-ya and nightlife one last time - if you wanna do that too, I´ll see you at 5.30 pm

I´ve been to Norway again, Bodö - for a convention at Friskhuset. It was arrenged for the third year in a row - but for me it was the first time there as a presenter. Bodö is further north than Luleå - one and a half hour flight from Oslo.

We were a whole crew from Sweden that travelled together - several of my Nike colleagues were there with me, and we had a really good time together - a lot of laugh..  many thanks for that.

I presented four classes: street dance, BODYJAM®, street jazz and a stretch/relaxation class.

The participants could choose beetween four classes and a lecture - each hour - so there was a lot going on at the same time. It was a about 250 participants there - which made the classes pretty small, and it was easy to connect with the crowd. I was thrilled to have so many GREAT movers and dance enthusiasts at my classes. Go Bodö (and the rest of the northern Norway)

Saturday evening there was a dinner party for all the presenters and participants - at a restaurant in central Bodö - and who could have guessed that our waitress was a former member of SATS that used to take my classes all the time. Quite a coincidence

I got some pic for you…

At Oslo Airport friday night - waiting for our luggage…

This was our venue.. with some “movie mountains” behind..

Elen - always happy and shining and also a great Nike Norway Instructor . Here with my Les Mills co-worker, Ragnhild.

Petter & Fredrik was team teaching - and since it was Fredriks first appearance in 5 weeks he took a little break once in a while…

Petter got into the zone at the BODYCOMBAT®…

:O

Some of the participants that took my class sunday afternoon… good work!

Do you know that I got two blogs?

One at fitness magazine, that´s all about group fitness from my point of view. That´s more like a “professional blog” and in swedish.. and this is a slightly bit more personal.

Still a lot about training, group fitness, dance and all kinds of physical (and mental) workouts, since that´s a big part of my life, obvioulsy.  Maybe also a bit easier to follow for my international peeps ;) that I get to meet at my trips, conventions, workshops and classes outside Sweden.

But today I´ll use the same pic at both blogs; the pic of my wonderful crew that came to my BODYBALANCE™ class last night.

I filmed a class to get some feedback on it - and I had a small group of amazing participants that came to help me out. Thank you so much for that!

Some extra cred to Daniel that took the class for the first time - and doesn´t speak a word of swedish. He did very well though!

Morris and Daniel feels tall, strong, calm and centered after the class

is my day of and this is the day when I try to give my body some recovery - and instead I spend a little time to workout my soul, and mind.

I do that everyday - of course - at the same time as I do my physical training - but this day I focus a bit extra on the mental shape, and wellbeing.

This view is one thing that gives me calmness and inner peace…(most preferable in reality)

Tonight´s all about the right side of the city: Kungsholmen!

2nite´s classes:

core 6 pm at st eriksbron, followed by

street 6.30 pm at st eriksbron, and then last

BODYBALANCE™ 8.30 pm at fridhemsplan

 I hope I´ll get to see you!

 If you need some happy-inspiration today; take a look at this clip - adorable!

Back in Stockholm after another Norway-weekend.

Saturday: out to Arlanda, and took the early morningflight to Oslo. From Oslo, me and Leon had a minor roadtrip to Moss, about 70 k´s away, where Spenst had their convention.

My class went very well - it was a lot of first timers - but they were happy and positive and did excellent! Thank you for that!

After the classes, and some mingeling with participants and other presenters, we did the same roadtrip back to the airport - and then the last flight back to Stockholm. Great day!

The danish guy and the swedish gal on the road in Norway, in a Volvo!

This is Camilla - who arrenged the convention.

Two of my Nike colleagues; Fredrik S and Elaine R were there, presenting.

I love my crib! I love my heart-light-loop and my pearl drapery…They make me happy everyday when I wake up at home!

Today: BODYBALANCE™ at SATS Fridhemplan, 5.30 pm - team with Linda P. Welcome to join!

For my Stockholm peeps:

Sunday -there´s a workshop at Danscenter with Yeya. I´ve never taken her class - but I´ve seen some youtube clip and I´ve heard a lot about her… If I´d be home - I´d take it.

1.30 pm-3.30 pm, 250 sek - and you can just drop by, no pre-registration is needed.
