Jeanette Karlsson

Jeanette Karlsson, yoga lärare, och jag bor i brighton UK, sedan tolv år tillbaka.Jeanette Karlsson has roots in many years of karate training, which led her to study Buddhist meditation and teachings. The yoga was there as a complement all along. In the past ten years, the yoga and meditation practice deepened and became two intertwining paths of exploration. She dropped her interest in competitive martial arts. Jeanette teaches yoga at festivals in the UK, such as Buddhafield and The Big Chill, and she is also a Thai-Yoga-Massage therapist.
The yoga is inspired by my background and the practice of Vanda Scaravelli. It is not a fixed system. Instead our practice is a creative and joyful exploration. Were we will explore yoga movements, breathing and meditation and learn how to undo unnecessary tension and blockages in both the physical, energetic and inner life.
We aim to develop attention, or love, from one moment to the next. In this way awareness embraces our whole experience as we discover how to move without using any force. The breath can help us do this. Particularly the out-breath puts us in touch with the earth, or gravity, more clearly. The in-breath invites more space to move into us. In this way the yoga practice does not inhibit the spine to move in its mysterious ways and it stays connected below and free to extend upwards. A sense of meditative wholeness is invited by itself.
Being alive to me is to deepen the awareness and our experience of interconnectedness to all beings everywhere. To be alive is to realise our intimate relationship to ourselves and others on a deeper level. Only in this way can we allow love and life itself to travel through us.
