“The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with nature.” 
Joseph Campbell

Once we understand the nature outside we will better learn to understand our own nature, and the other way round. Because both hearts are beating in the same rhythm, breathe each other and have an almost identical nervous system. That makes us feel and sense almost equally.  Why do we separate ourselves from nature more than ever today, when instead we can reconnect, feel and synchronise with the powerful rhythm of the earth? Let’s rebalance and tune our human cells, heal and be healed simultaneously while surrounded by mystical forest, whispering silence and clear water.
Far away from daily routines and habits we will dive deep into the forest of trees, plants and bodily sensations. Absorb the elements of beautiful Sweden through all our senses and collect, explore, listen, learn and move both our bodies and minds to grow, out of the person we think we are and shed old layers of skin to be connecting with the source of knowing within.

“Luisa is able to carefully study the ecology of each of her students’ / patients’ inner workings (be it in a group or one-on-one setting) by assessing what they exhibit with their bodies. She is able to quickly, and with relative ease, diagnose exactly what shifts are necessary to catalyse a warranted physical change, and provide the necessary tools to do so.
 She has developed a depth of Mariana-Trench’s capacity, to take on and hold the emotions and energies of the people around her which, after watching the way she works, has shown itself to be vital part in others allowing themselves to create new room and space within themselves to inhabit change and healing, whatever that may entail for the respective individual.“

“Luisa Doerstel. A human being. A mythical creature. No one has mastered the art of creating magic with words and body shapes like she has. Her yoga classes tell a new story every time. They are body journeys clothed in words. She incorporates her holistic knowledge of anatomy, energy, spirituality, planetary constellations and natural cycles. Her vinyasa yoga classes helped me deepen my body awareness and fall in love with yoga again.“

With the Season of autum/fall the focus will be falling back into ourselves to draw from the roots of being, to then transform into something new. Preparing ourselves to weave dreams, breathe visions and missions into the web of our consciousness. By asking questions and breathing feedback from the external to the internal, we learn to listen and allow the answers physically to unfold over the week.
Like a plant our bodies need care, light, nutrition and the right surrounding to grow into its full potential. And just like the plant’s seed already holds all information to become the plant, our cells know exactly how to be us. By using this intrinsic intelligence our bodies hold, we can allow and embody the person we are meant to be.
Fluent Yoga, calming Meditation and delicious plant based foods will make sure you feel vibrantly alive and nourished for magic to unfold.
Workshops about embodied emotions, principals of moving the spine, practices to remember our body’s language and wisdom, and a heart field vibration to open and connect with the world around, will provide you with a framework to take home with you forever.

[testimonial]

“At the time, I knew little of her role as a healer, but it became very clear after the first few classes, that she was one of the most emotionally and bodily intelligent people I would come to meet… not only in her abilities to command her own physicality, but also in her uncanny ability to read, playfully engage, and quite literally move others from within themselves.“

Luisa is a story weaver, body poet & movement alchemist.
She’s infinitely curious about the body & the breath, plants, art, magic, language, failure, and how to find the sweetness of being lost in the world.
Holding a degree in Arts&Media and professionally being trained in Contemporary Dance, she now works as a Health Coach, Yoga & Movement Teacher. She believes in life as the practice of listening and responding; a dialogue both with the body and the world as innate language through which everything is connected in rhythmic symphony.
Through years of study and practice with her Teachers, including Stephen Thomas, Simon Borg-Olivier, Meghan Currie and Dages Juvelier-Keates, she deepened her knowledge of what it means to be (in) a body as well as being bodily influenced by life’s ebbs and flows. Alongside her lifelong self-discovery this led her to perceiving body-mind-breath as an instrument, map and mirror of her own biography. Passionately committed to sharing her practice, she wants people to vibrantly experience life and guide them into embodying themselves as a moving weaver, receiver and dreamer to orient and navigate between time & space.
Her teachings are anatomical but playful, intuitive and raw, drawing from natures wisdom of constant change and cosmic principles of alignment and connection.
Her classes weave together aspects of Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Katonah Yoga, Somatics and Dance sprinkled with mythology, geometry and embodied astrology.
