I want you to be wild
I want you to feel free. I want you to know your inner strength. You are ever-changing and whole. Just like the moon and the ocean. Embrace your cyclical nature and invite a sense of ritual into your life. There is a wild woman potential within you, deeply anchored on this earth, courageous and kind. Embody Artemis, embody your truth. Know the power of your attention and gather it, again and again. Ground yourself into the rhythm of this earth and take your aim: how do you want to feel, how do you want to live your life?
Who Am I
Bio
Hi! I am Johanna! I am a yoga teacher, horse trainer and horseback archery instructor. I believe in cultivating reverence for the natural world in our yoga practice and knowing every being as sacred.
In nature – I am in my element, surrounded by animals and in particular my special passion and love for horses – enchanting creatures who have guided my life since I was a child. I also have a deep love for the written word, for creating and reading poetry. It connects me to my creativity and the infinite mystery of life.
Hailing from Sweden I live with my partner, cat, dogs, horses in our simple jungle home on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica. The last 6 years I have been teaching yoga and horse classes in teacher trainings and retreats with Kindred Spirits in Cocles, a sanctuary for healing and learning in nature with horses.
In my yoga classes I emphasize cultivating loving-kindness, functional movement, pranayama and mantra singing as our path to empowerment and a more peaceful world. I also offer a space to explore goddess mythology and feminine archetypes in womens circle which include, storytelling, pranayama, singing and journaling. The circle is a space where everyone is equal, a space without hierarchy.

I am walking down the jungle path, the sky still heavy with rain. I take one step at a time, my bare feet merging with the soft earth. No there is no bigger plan, no master plan, no great future awaiting me. I choose to follow my heart wisdom, my inner wild guiding me forward in each step. I ground myself into the earth, I feel each breath.There is no bigger plan only a longing to live fully, be alive and connected to the natural world. The outer wild. The intensity of each moment. Meet my cats sharp gaze and know that also I am animal. Breathe with my belly, the puppys head moving with each inhale and exhale. Resting my forehead on the silky spot under my horse companions mane. I can breathe when I am with you. Inner wild is my north star. I can not be contained. My soul untamed, the longing to be free stronger than anything else. I want you to know your wild. I want you to feel free, live in your fullest potential.
