Monday night at the bridge…

This is the last week of the spring schedule.
21 weeks flew by, just like that.
I’m teaching all my classes this week, except the BODYBALANCE™ at Zenit – since we have our annual Nike weekend this weekend, with the entire team.

And then next week the summer schedule starts – and I’ll be teaching almost like usual for the first two weeks – with some small adjustments.
Stay tuned here at my website, blog or at SATS.

Today’s class was a blast, so much fun!
Thanks awesome peeps for your energy, and your great spirit!
Here are a few from tonights crowd, chillin after the class.

I did my S&M-choreo when I subbed saturday, and I got some requests to do it again, so that’s what we did tonight. I liked it, liked it! : )

A kind of long recap.

During my NYC-stay in 2008/09 I taught a class every week at thursday mornings 7 am. That class had a really particular crowd, the people that came were always really focused and did not really payed attention to anything else but their own image in the mirror and the day they had coming up ahead of them.
A silented blackberry next to them was not un-usual, just to make sure they didn’t miss anything – workwise.
It always felt like they were in a bubble and that everything outside the bubble was not important, and nothing they bothered to see.
Nothing wrong with that. Just something I noted.

Any how.. one week I taught my class.
Then I headed back to Scandinavia for a qw event just for the weekend.
In 4 days I flied from NYC-Sthlm, then Sthlm-Gothenburg where I taught, Gbg-Malmö for another workshop, then back to Stockholm for dinner with a couple of friends and on tuesday I landed in NYC again.
And, thursday morning I was back with my class with the very focused people that had no idea what I’ve done the past week. Not that they cared or wanted to know – and I didn’t wanted to tell them either. It was just a kind of weird feel.

And I felt a bit the same this week.
Last friday I taught my BODYBALANCE™  – and in one week I have done loads of wedding prep – married – had a party – went to Istanbul for a mini honey moon – headed back home, and yesterday I was back teaching the BODYBALANCE™ like nothing ever happened. But is sure did!
Not that this crowd is anything like my morning business crowd in NYC, it was more the weird feel that here’s a group of people that I don’t know anything about.. and they don’t know anything about me.
And in 7 days I lived, experienced and enjoyed so many things.. and who knows what any of my participants went through in the same 7 days.

And my friday ended at the Royal Opera – with lovely Soffan – where the royal swedish ballet school celebrated 30 years anniversary with a jubilee performance.
Thank you for a superfun event! : )

And now – I’m about to sub a street class 12.00 at Odenplan.
If you liked my S&M-choreo I did on my wednesday class earlier this spring, come join me. I feel a rerun coming up.
Enjoy your weekend beautiful people!

2 done, 1 to go!

Day 1 & 2 of Workout Åre are over and out.
I opened up the weekend yesterday with the first class; BODYJAM®57, Carribean Street Parteey! A perfect way of starting this weekend.

Pre-mingle!
And CX30™ premiered in the world of swedish training event.

Today (saturday) I haven’t presented any classes – so we took the opportunity to go horse back riding. On icelandic horses! AWESOME!!
Three hours on the horse. Mine was tiny – the smallest one – but the fastest and most energetic one. We made a great team, ha!

And this is the oldes horse I’ve seen – 38 years old!!

He was retired though… a well deserved retirement!

When we got back I was just in time to participate in Per Markussen’s house class, very fun!

And, tomorrow I’ll start the day with BODYBALANCE™ class/qw – 08.00 am, sharp!
I’ve just finished the very last prep of the education session and feel ready to flow.

Snapshots of some of all the lovley people that are hanging out at Workout Åre at the moment:

I’m talking about Workout Åre 2011! A three day event at Holiday Club in Åre.

Workout Åre Are Holiday Club
Yaay!

Upcoming month!

The summer is about to start… and I’ll be teaching most of my classes for about 4 more times.
Check my website (news) if you wanna stay tuned for schedule, extra classes, workshops etc.

I’m teaching this week – and then monday, tuesday & friday next week.
For the rest of the days my classes will be reduced because of holidays. And then I’ll be away the week after that.

So wednesday & thursday ppl – join me this week, cause then I won’t see you for another three weeks.

Malmö FTW! Still!

For the last Les Mills qw round – about three months ago – I was in Malmö, and you might remember how happy I was for that. This round I once again pulled the Malmö-ticket (or as I also could call it: the winning ticket)

It was probably the smallest group ever – only seven people. But when it is seven people like these guys, it’s not a problem at all.

Cause they rocked – and they made the carribean street party riot come alive! Thank you beautiful jammers!

The qw was held at SATS in Malmö – and it was great.
Fresh, daylight, good sound system and nice staff!

Now I’m on the train back to Stockholm. Me and a couple of tearful season finales.

Best of playlist!

So, the tracklist for tonight’s best of class looked like this:
Warm up  37
Isolations  39
Hip hop 47
Contemporary Rock 45
Recovery 52
Street Party Riot 57
Groovedown 36

I tend to like the newest one.. since I’m a pretty restless person that likes to look forward more than back. So I did threw in a brand new block in the end.
The awesome and lovely Maria backed me up for the first half, THANK YOU for that!

No, we didn’t plan our tops…!

It was a nice crowd… and they sure danced their asses of.
A few of them after class:

Tomorrow – it’s time for Malmö to jam it out, but then it will be all new. BODYJAM® quarterly at SATS Västra Hamnen.

Thank you Stockholm-jammers for celebrating with me. Let’s continue the partey at Super Saturday!

Happy weekend!

Best of is about to blow off…

Today is a Les Mills-day! Fo shizzle.
My 11.00 group rocked (in a very sofisticated way) at the BODYBALANCE™ class. And now I’m about to head across the city for the 5 year celebration best of class.
I’ll publish the tracklist later on.

This is definitly one of my favourites (I have many favourites though) from the past years…even though it won’t be on the playlist for today. So, happy jammers – c u soon!

My very own CD!!

Next week – it’s time to release my CD!

No – I haven’t all of a sudden decided to give my singing career a try – but it’s a collaboration between me and Swedebeat.

It’s a hiphop compilation where the songs are picked by me!
A mix of old and new favourites.
I’ve been waiting for this to be finished – and now finally, it is!
So, if you’re looking for a new mix for your classes – this might be it : )
