My first yoga adventure born out of the need to make yoga, creativity movement, meditation and embodiment more accessible to different audiences. Never one for cliques, i wandered around teaching all over the city of Bergen during the week, subsidising income with coffee shop graft and bar work. It took me to a lot of places. Then came the acting job which took me into different worlds of the city.
One thing came up time and time again- there were so many incredible spaces that were usually very empty and unused. And i wanted to change that.
I also wanted to bring different audiences together. So, i knew my goal was to get into the art museums as the art world tends to have similar issues to the yoga world. That came later.
So i knocked on doors. Many, many doors. Over and over. I got over the fear and hurt of being that “crazy english girl” who couldn’t give up. Some places agreed. I made the events by donation. People came.
Here are some of the spaces and projects I held events in:
