ABOUT

ME

DO WHAT YOU LOVE

Life is too short to not do what we love. Listen and follow to your heart. And when we do what we love, we attract people, places and things on the same frequency. 

WAKE UP

We are often sleep-walking through life, realising too late that we missed it all. Your life is an urgency and this is the time to wake up and open our eyes to the beauty of your own lives.

LIFE IS A MYSTERY

There is so much to discover yet we are already that. So let's not waste another day. What if there is no tomorrow? Time to dive into the deep waters of this mystery called life.

I'm Martina

 

A devoted yogini, cacao lover, kirtani and longevity enthusiast with over ten years of experience in the holistic field. In my offerings, I weave some of my favourite modules together; kundalini yoga, breathwork, holistic health and tantra, to bring healing, transformation and expansion. 

I run my company Kundalini Within, organise retreats and events all over the world, and feel at my best with a cup of ceremonial cacao in my hand around a fire, playing harmonium and chanting mantras.  

But before all of that I had a stress-filled life as a corporate lawyer at the biggest law firm in Sweden. One day I had enough, trusted the voice in my heart and quit. This took me on an inner and outer journey all over the world and I never looked back.

Now, having created over 100 yoga retreats in India, France, Sweden, Costa Rica and Spain, I am passionate about sharing thewisdom and techniques I found on the way, things that ultimately saved my life

I want to invite you to a place to slow down, simply relax into being and be your unapologetic, wild, magical, free, graceful, wise, empowered, whole, orgasmic, sensual being!

My story

 

I grew up on a horsefarm in the deep forest of Sweden. Early I learnt how to be the good girl, and with time I thought I had only one choice in life to be happy. Go to school, get a good job, and build a stable life for myself. While this focus led me to a high-paying career in my 20s, it didn't leave me with any sense of who I was and what brought me joy. I suffered from cold-depression and nothing really mattered anymore. 

After realizing I was too young to burn-out, and that life was about more than surviving the day to take a taxi home from work and go to sleep, I walked away from it all and embarked on a new path. And I learned that once you taste your soul, there's no going back.

I started doing yoga retreats with my best friend, moved every winter to a secluded beach in India, and in between I was training myself in different healing modalities and holistic approaches. 

The last four years I've been living in the lush jungle of Costa Rica at Pachamama Eco Village, further expanding my knowledge and wisdom. This has brought me so much healing and a deep longing to bring this wisdom back to my people in the North. 

During these travels, I found myself drawn to spirituality and shamanism, delving into practices such as meditation, yoga nidra, kundalini yoga, sound healing, tantra, sound therapy, and working with medicinal plants. 

I always thought to myself: “I am not the one who just quits and follow my heart, I cannot only be a yoga teacher”. These limiting beliefs was holding me back for so long, and now I am thinking “If I can do it, anyone can do it”. It does not mean you have to leave your job, or house, or partner, you don’t have to do anything, what it is about is to listen inward and ask: what do I want? How do I want to live my life?

 If you're ready to walk away from your own limiting beliefs and build a life you love, then let's go. I would love to support you where ever you are, and my wish is that this can contribute to your own growth and inspire a shift in your life, small or big, to find more aliveness and peace each and every day. 

 

a glimpse into my life

 

A world traveler with a nomadic lifestyle, I spend most of my time divided between Sweden, Costa Rica, Peru, India and Spain. I am longing for a physical home at time but also found a place within my own heart.

Living in harmony and love, I am constantly expanding and creating. Each morning, I spend time on my yoga mat to ground, energise and rasie my vibration for the day ahead. I am the happiest with a cup of ceremonial cacao, chanting mantras while playing my harmonium. 

As a yogini, I share my passion through ancient wisdom, empowering practices, and uplifting experiences, in-person and online. Additionally, I support individuals through 1:1 coachning using breathwork and counselling skills.

Every year, I go on pilgrimage with my choosen family, or on my own, to Peru, India and other sacred places. I love exploring and meeting people from different parts of the world.

Beauty is the guiding quality in my life and what keeps hope in my heart always. I really believe we are here to create beauty in our relationships, in our surroundings and in our own inner landscapes.

Retreats is where I feel the most at home, or at a secret beach, topless with my naked feets in the sand. I am a child of the sun, yet feel the most alive on a snowy mountain top.

I organise my own retreats, or at others, through teaching yoga and meditation, or cooking vegan delicious food, or giving massage therapy in places like The Soul Space, Baravara and Vitalisera.

I am living the life of my dreams, tapping into my creativity and purpose every day. I am still challenged by this human experience at times, but I found tools and techniques that moves my energy and ignites my inner light.

I want to create a space for you to slow down, simply relax into being and be your unapologetic, wild, magical, free, graceful, wise, empowered, whole, orgasmic, sensual being!

Let's walk each other home by coming together, practicing our presence and raise our vibration to create the lives we dream of.

"Du har en sån himla närvarande och kärleksfull energi Martina. Så tacksam för att du skapar en sån trygg miljö och ger så mycket av dig själv. Så inspirerande och vackert."

 
Rebecca Sjödin

"Jag blev coachad av Martina för 2 år sedan, och såg otroliga skillnader i mitt mående, min sömn och min hud. Hon guidade mig så intuitivt och hittade verkligen rätt för mig personligen. Nu när jag kände att jag behövde ta tag i min hälsa igen så var Martina den första jag tänkte på, och har nu hoppat på en ny omgång coachning, och redan efter vårt första möte och förändringarna hon föreslagit har jag fått mer balans i kroppen. Blandningen av örtterapi, ansikte/tung-läsningen och hennes breda kunskap inom hälsa gör mig råimpad vid varje möte"
