Change IS possible
I have just entered into the 40s... And it's really crazy that I am healthier and more alive now than I was in my 20s. I don't generally like to share photos of myself. I don't think I'm particularly interesting, and like so many others, I dislike seeing myself in...
Happy Mundane N-O-W
New Year's Eve 2019 The wind was bitterly cold, with a few hardly visible snowflakes, (yet very feel-able) aimed directly at my eyes, as my dog Randy and I walked across a flat, open land to pick up some freebies. We had walked so fast to try and make up for the...
Yoga Studio in Espoo, Kivenlahti
Primitive Skills Yoga Studio opens its doors in the first week of December (Merivirta 11, Kivenlahti). It has been a rush to get everything sorted with a short notice. Especially at this time of the year. I was sitting here, trying to come up with some kind of...
And it all falls into place
Wow it's been an incredible, ground shifting, confusing, chaotic yet rich and rewarding six months for me. I left UK in August 2018, leaving 16 years of life in that country and all my dearest friends and all my wonderful customers behind. I traveled in Asia for five...

When it’s time to rest
Winter Solstice in Ubud, Bali Whilst they celebrate the longest day of the year at this side of the equator, my body is still living the cycles it's lived for the past 38 years and I'm struggling with extreme tiredness. Being on the road and feeling like a...
Mystery
On a journey to the Tea Country, Sri Lanka The fan is turning. Luca is playing the guitar. I look outside through the window and see a lonely, bright red rose and green leaves, a bright blue sky and a morning full of promises of unpredictable things, including the...
India
Rishikesh I think I love this place so much because it stirs all kinds of emotions in me. It challenges what I'm used to. It puts me face to face with myself. Looking myself in the eyes and see all the things I try to push aside, things I don't like. On one...
The only consistent thing in life is change
The smell of Finnish pine forest.The silence and the slower pace of moving from A to B. Sauna. There is generally a day or two that I feel like a tourist in my home country, until some senses get reawakened from the deep sleep. Then I feel like I've just...
