SATS Nordic Convention!

A brief report from the event of the weekend.

SATS Nordic Convention is an inspirational event for the staff at SATS. A kick off for the entire chain in all the Nordic countries. So it’s not an open event like the Nike Blast for example.

About 2100 of the SATS employed gathered in Göteborg at the Swedish Fair venue for a day of classes, lectures and mingle and an evening/night with even more mingle, dinner with SATS Awards, and party.

SATS chartered a train for the Stockholm crew, that left the central station 5.47 am saturday morning. A train full of track suits, sweatpants and sneakers with other words.

I presented my AfHo class – with the sub theme of Tropical.
AfHo tropical.
It was a lot of fun and I’m happy with the class. I had a lovely crew in the front row filled with both familiar and friendly faces that definitely brought a lot to the party!
Thank You!

Yesterday’s train ride back wasn’t as smoothly though.
We’re supposed to departure at 9.32 – and all of us had entered the train by then.
Arrival time, 13.30!
A bit after 17.30 we rolled up in the capital.
700 pairs of tired sneakers left the central station after the 8 hours train ride.

Here are a few pics from the weekend

10 minutes before my class, and people started to gather.

Camilla and Norberto – two of my favorite SATS colleagues.


Angelica, Linn, Mattias and Oscar – all representing SATS Spårvagnshallarna!


The theme of the evening was GOLD.
These guys are golden, fo shizzle!

Party’s coming up!

This week has been a re-run week, at least on my street classes.
Monday I did the I like that-choreo and yesterday I did the Cannibal-choreo.
Both classes were true happiness.
Awesome dancers that brought not only their sexy backs but also a lot of energy and positive vibe to the parteey. Thank you for that. You do know that I love you, right?!

Jazz tonight will be the second week of a new choreo. Come join for some jazz-funk-ish!

This upcoming weekend it’s time for the annual SATS inspiration event, for the entire staff.
It usually take place in february, in Stockholm.
But this year it’s not only a new date – but also a new location. It’s moved to Göteborg (at the swedish fair) and all the nordic countries are joining.

It’s called the SATS Nordic Convention and it will be about 2100 people participating.

I’m asked to present a class, my beloved AfHo with the sub theme “tropical” and I’m expecting some serious ass-shaking, roof-lifting and party-rocking from my awesome co-workers. Yay!

So today – I’m spending the day by doing the last prep and polishing of the choreo and the music for the weekend.

Hey Monday, how’s your wknd?

I never did the HotMOJO® filming during the easter weekend for different reasons, but instead I did it this past weekend. I had an awesome group of 10 people that joined me for a special class. Most of them had never tried the class before, but they did great.

If you wanna come and do HotMOJO®yoga with me, I’m still teaching it wednesday’s 10.00!

I also had a meeting last week, with the lovely Mattias that’s made my website.
He helped me finalize the gallery-updates, and I’ve updated most of the text, so if you want to – take a look around at the site, and also don’t forget to visit my youtube-channel.

This week, I’ll be teaching all of my classes and also monday next week – then I’ll be gone for 10 days and it’ll be subs in all my classes.

Tonight; street at St Eriksbron – it’ll be an old favourite today. Come join me!

New Releases…

Earlier this week the new Les Mills-releases arrived, BODYJAM®61 and BODYBALANCE™57.

I’m not gonna start learning them just yet though, it’s still a bit too early to start teaching them. But I checked out the BODYBALANCE™ since one of the Nordic Trainer is on the dvd, presenting.
Arja from Finland.

She did a great job, of course!

It was an entire crew on stage, five presenters. No Jackie this time though.
Since I looked at it quite briefly – I did’t get a real feel for the release, but I liked what I saw. And it was a track 6 bonus track that [music wise] was better than the regular, I think. Good stuff!

It’s a bonus track in the current release (56) as well, for track no 3. How ever – I like the regular one better so I haven’t used it.
How about you, my fellow BODYBALANCE™ instructors? Have you picked up the bonus track?

BODYJAM® – I haven’t seen yet. I’ll most likely save that until I’ve done the initial training in may on the old release.
Yesterday when I was at the Les Mills Nordic main office – I tried to convince Hanna that I could do the new release for the initial training.
Since it’s only two weeks before the first qw – it feels more fair to do the new one. Especially since it’s takes a while to learn the entire choreo when you’re brand new to BODYJAM® and Les Mills.
But she was unwavering in her mind, and I wasn’t allowed.

Well, time to start up this thursday!
Maybe I’ll see you in the jazz-class tonight.

T.S. # 20

I’ll finish this round of the today’s song-series with yet another classic tune (no, it doesn’t have to be THAT old to be a classic in my world)

If you google love song, or make out song – this is what you should find.
Awesome, and timeless!

Bed – J.Holiday

T.S. # 19

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not promoting smoking weed or drinking, or anything similar.
(I’m not one to prohibit either – it’s up to each and everyone what they wanna do)

But I do like this song from late 2011. And I’ve always liked Snoop – obviously!

So therefore, here’s is today’s song!

Young, Wild and Free – Snoop Dogg & Wix Khalifa feat. Bruno Mars

Released on iTunes october 2011.
