Linnea Ahlgren

Linnea was born in Uppsala, Sweden, but has since called many places in the world “home.” She is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher who first came to the method in 2010 through its focus on compassion for all beings as a means of liberation. Linnea has a Masters in International Relations but realized early on that the path to true peace must come from within, and today she tries to do her best in some small way to contribute to the collective awakening of the planet.

In Linnea’s classes, breath, movement, music, and awareness are joined together to facilitate a direct experience of the present moment, where we can let go of fear-based reactions, and feel connected to the ever-changing current of our lives. She is grateful to all of her teachers, known as unknown, on the mat and off, that has inspired the way she shares this practice. 

When she is not teaching, Linnea has been known to eat large quantities of pancakes, dreams of opening an animal shelter, speaks four languages fluently, and is truly a nerd/jedi at heart. 

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” Carl Jung

Trust Your Foundation

In today's society there is a lot of talk about finding balance, as if it were some mystical state in a galaxy far, far away that we can only reach with much effort.

The truth is that balance is our natural state. If we could clear away the clutter we have piled on top of the body's own wisdom, and listen better to what it tells us, we would notice what throws us out of that state of ease, and let it go instead of burying it under more distractions.

Finding physical balance is about learning not to hold on for dear life, but to trust yourself enough to expand into the space around you. Start with the Introduction.

Level 1-2, no props needed. Grounded and rooted, yet light.

Stoking the Inner Flame

We can often feel lethargic after we over-indulge, be that in food, sleep or technology. This is a short practice to connect with the element of fire, stoke the inner Agni, the digestive fire of the yoga tradition, and reclaim your energy when you feel sluggish.

Twenty minutes for the back and the side body. Level 2, no props needed.
