Our Instructors
Kristina Babette Larsen
Kristina met yoga in Bangladesh and found peace and strength through classic poses from the Hatha tradition. Later she met a soulmate, healer and yogamaster in Uganda that led to the desire for deepening her knowledge for the origin of Yoga. Through several teacher trainings in South Africa, India, US, France and UK, she has been trained as a Vinyasa Flow teacher, Yin Yoga teacher, Unnata ® Aerial Yoga teacher, Kundalini children yoga teacher and have added both Hatha, Anusara and Shiva Rea teacher training modules.
Kristina has trained diligently with Jason Crandell and through him received the E-RYT 500. Recently Kristina practiced in India with Gumurkh Kaur Khalsa weaving the practice of Kundalini into the lot. Last but not least has Kristina added a teacher training in Yoga Nidra also called conscious sleep, which relaxes the nervous system and lifts the practitioners ability to cope with stress, changes and challenges of every day life. The last few years it has been the integrated practice found at Sattva Yoga Academy in India that has inspired Kristina. There she has completed a Master Teacher Training and an id-depth study in the science of Jyotish. The Jyotish course allows for insights into the effects that the planets and star constellations holds on us. Kristina offers readings of individuals charts along with charts of families and groups.
Kristina has a background as a nurse and dietician. Kristina teaches primarily in English and Sanskrit.

Victoria Waugh
Victoria found yoga at a young age, going to classes with her mom while living in California. She continued to deepen her practice as she got older, learning more about herself and how to live a life through listening to her heart. Originally from California, she moved to Denmark in 2015, took a 200-hour RYT in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin in Copenhagen and then in 2018, attended a 300-hour RYT in Yoga Therapy in Rishikesh. In addition, she now has another 500-hour Living Yogi YTT from India, and a 90-hour Pre & Postnatal YTT. Through these teacher trainings, she continues to open her mind to an even deeper knowledge to the meaning of yoga in the exploration of life's purpose.
Victoria loves teaching powerful Vinyasa and Hatha classes incorporating different Pranayama techniques with the intention of being fully present and tuning into the mind, body, and breath. To notice the small intricacies of one's being in order to dive deeper into the question 'Who am I?.'

Cecilie Svensson
The fusion of power and softness, and how the two can intertwine in a dynamic and strong practice but also in gentler branches of a yoga practice is what interests Cecilie the most in her own life as well as in her teachings. How we balance and apply these two qualities to our personal practice on and off the mat is of great learning to her. Fundamentally yoga keeps reminding her to stay present in this life. Its the ongoing work of staying true to her values and beliefs and yet soft and open to the continuous and inevitable change that is life. At its best, yoga sharpens Cecilie’s insight and softens her understanding and offers her the opportunity to look at herself and her surroundings from a kinder and more honest place.
Cecilie has been teaching since 2016. She teaches vinyasa, hatha, yin, restorative and pre/postnatal. Her classes are a mix of listening, feeling, moving, and playing, and as much as she values the philosophical and emotionel aspect of a practice, she also loves a good flow. Cecilie looks forward to meeting you at the studio soon!
