About Yoga-Li

All my life I have had a strong relationship with nature where I have always found the way to balance and recovery. Two types of nature are closest to my heart; the Ligurian and the Northern Värmland as these both represent roots that anchor me back to different parts of my life and my history.

My relationship with Yoga began many years ago but was radically strengthened during some very challenging years when I had cancer. Yoga then showed me what an irreplaceable tool it is to hold on to for both body and soul during all phases of life. Therefore, when I recovered, I decided to train myself to be able to pass on this amazing tradition to others. In addition to my regular work in the technology industry, I devoted three years to intensive yoga studies, which gave me an internationally certified Yoga teacher degree and led me to create Yoga-Li. We have been receiving groups in Liguria since 2019.

To help me I have Mats who has been my mainstay and life partner for 28 years. He assists with all ground service during Yoga-Li’s events. He will also join us during the hikes to be on hand if needed.

To help with the high altitude hikes I have my friend Lorenzo Gariano. He was born and raised in Liguria but has lived in the UK for over 20 years and thus speaks fluent English. He has an adventurous mind, lots of humor and great care for all guests. Lorenzo is a very experienced mountain guide and is one of those who climbed “the seven summits of the world”, including Mount Everest.

Reviews

"A wonderful combination of silence, movement, beautiful nature, togetherness, laughter, seriousness, good food and drinks, swimming - yes, it is difficult to see what could have been better. Really clear that you wanted to share what you appreciate and your passion for yoga and hiking!"

"You have led the yoga sessions in a calm and pedagogical and inspiring way and created, I think for many, a solid interest in yoga."

"The food was sooo good! I appreciated a lot that the ingredients were from the area and that your ambition was to let the dishes you served have their origins in the region."

"Super nice and very experienced hiking guide, social and inspiring. Interesting that he knows so much about the area's history / culture and trees / flowers. Good disposition of time for yoga and clarity in instruction regarding the exercises for me as a "beginner". Liked the concept of silence, warm lemon water and yoga before a good and nutritious breakfast."

"It has truly been a magical journey in every aspect! You have made a well-planned trip, which gives everyone a sense of security. You have been good at telling what applies, what the day will look like, have been good at keeping times and calculating holding times, you have given a calm aura around you that makes the rest of us calm. It is also great that you are an experienced leader and can tell people when needed in a firm, determined and yet friendly way."

"It was a week that felt like it was planned and arranged with care, warmth and generosity."

"Grateful, fulfilled, happy, energized after a completely magical journey! We have hiked in fantastic mountain environments both below and above the tree line - and topped by climbing a peak that is 2476 masl (higher than Kebnekajse). We have combined the hike with yoga in meadows, in mountains, in gardens, on garage roofs (Indian style) and on cliffs by the sea with incredible views (and gained great insights). Enjoyed the silence but also many nice conversations. We had very good, locally grown and homemade Italian food and made new good friends. Thanks to you all!"
