About Me, Josefine Bertvig
My yoga journey began in 2002 when I attended my first Kundalini yoga course. Through yoga, I have learned a great deal about myself, deepened my sense of connection with others, and built a strong foundation within myself.
Since then, yoga has been an essential part of my life. I have continued to learn and explore various forms of yoga and yoga philosophy. In 2017, I started teaching Hatha Yoga.
With extensive experience in yoga, as well as in stress management and mindfulness, I am passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone and sharing the knowledge and benefits yoga can bring—mentally, spiritually, and physically.
My goal is for you to feel welcome and safe to explore yoga at your own pace, based on your unique circumstances. In a world filled with demands and performance pressure, my classes offer you a space to let go of all that, to allow yourself to simply be in your body, your breath, and your movement, and to land in the present moment—life as it is, here and now.
By creating a balance between strength and relaxation, I aim to help you find your flow, connect with your inner power, and live with more energy and harmony—both on and off the yoga mat.
About AVA Yoga
AVA Yoga has blossomed from a dream I have carried for many years. My driving force has always been to guide others toward their best possible health and well-being, a passion that has shaped both my studies and my work. For several years, I worked with yoga voluntarily, but eventually, I decided to follow my dreams and start my own business.
Through AVA Yoga, my goal is to offer a form of yoga that is accessible and safe, focusing on allowing participants to discover yoga in their own way and at their own pace.
Sometimes, when we dare to take that leap, it feels as if everything falls into place—a true sense of flow!
After making the decision to start AVA Yoga, I reconnected with my first yoga teacher, Mella, and was given the opportunity to hold my yoga classes at her beautiful studio, CHANDRA Kundalini Yoga Center, starting in the fall of 2024.
I feel such deep joy and gratitude after every yoga class! It is humbling to have the trust of others, to guide them in this ancient tradition, and to make its wisdom accessible and understandable.
It is truly an honor to contribute to spreading yoga’s message of both inner and outer peace—something our world so greatly needs today.
Namaste!
The Name AVA Yoga
Acceptance – I welcome every participant as they are, without expectations or demands. Yoga should be a space where you can let go of comparisons and embrace both your strengths and limitations.
Vitality – The yoga classes are designed to strengthen the body and mind, boost energy, and create flow so you can face life with vigor and joy.
Awareness – Through mindful breathing and presence in each movement, I aim to help you deepen your connection with yourself and build an inner balance that permeates your entire daily life.
AVA Yoga not only stands for Acceptance, Vitality, and Awareness, but it also serves as a tribute to my three children: Anton, Viktor, and Alice. They are my inspiration and bring so much joy to my life. They fill my days with laughter, wonder, and love.
Hathayoga
Hatha Yoga and Meditation: Personalized for Your Journey
Hatha Yoga is a traditional form of yoga that harmonizes the body and mind through physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation. It offers an excellent introduction for those seeking to build strength, enhance flexibility, and increase body awareness. Through Hatha Yoga, you can develop a stable foundation for your yoga practice while cultivating inner calm and harmony.
In my classes, I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where each participant can explore and deepen their yoga journey at their own pace. Whether you are new to yoga or looking to refine your practice, I adapt sessions to meet your unique needs, incorporating mindfulness, relaxation techniques, or more dynamic movements as desired.
For individual or group sessions, I also offer the flexibility of online classes, making yoga and meditation accessible wherever you are. Together, we can craft a personalized experience that aligns with your goals, whether that’s improving physical health, reducing stress, or finding balance in daily life.
Yoga Nidra: Deep Relaxation and Inner Connection
If you seek profound relaxation or wish to achieve a transformation in your life, Yoga Nidra might be the perfect practice for you. This powerful method of guided meditation leads you into a state of conscious deep relaxation, where the body rests completely, and the mind becomes a fertile ground for self-awareness and growth.
Through Yoga Nidra, you can explore your inner self in a safe and nurturing environment. This practice has been shown to help alleviate stress, improve focus, enhance sleep, and even foster a deeper sense of purpose and clarity.
Whether you are looking for a way to reset after a busy day, release emotional tension, or align with your personal goals, Yoga Nidra offers a gentle yet transformative pathway.
I offer tailored Yoga Nidra sessions for individuals and groups, guiding you step-by-step into this restorative state. These sessions are available both in-person and online, allowing you to access this practice from the comfort of your home or any other peaceful space.
Discover the power of deep relaxation and connect with your inner self through Yoga Nidra. It’s a journey of healing, self-discovery, and lasting peace.
Meditation and Mindfulness
Each yoga session includes elements of mindfulness and meditation. For example, we may begin with a body scan, a mindfulness practice that directs attention to different parts of the body, fostering relaxation and presence
Throughout the classes, you’ll have the opportunity to try different meditation techniques, each aimed at enhancing focus and awareness. Whether it’s a guided mindfulness exercise or a deeper meditative practice, these tools are designed to help you cultivate clarity, calmness, and a stronger connection to yourself.
All practices are tailored to your needs and can be experienced in both group settings or one-on-one sessions, either in-person or online, ensuring accessibility wherever you are.
Pranayama and Breathwork: Unlocking Inner Calm
Breathwork is a powerful tool for navigating life’s challenges, such as stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. In yoga, the breath is considered the bridge between body and mind. By practicing pranayama – the art of controlled breathing – you can calm your nervous system, improve your focus, and restore a sense of equilibrium.
I offer pranayama sessions tailored to your needs, whether you’re seeking to energize your body, calm your mind, or simply deepen your connection with your breath. Through guided breathwork practices, you’ll learn to access your full breath capacity, bringing greater oxygenation to your body and optimizing your overall well-being.
How Pranayama Helps:
- Reduces stress and anxiety
- Enhances focus and mindfulness
- Boosts energy and vitality
- Improves sleep quality
- Strengthens respiratory function
Whether you’re a beginner curious about exploring pranayama or looking for advanced techniques to integrate into your practice, my sessions are designed to meet you where you are. I also plan to offer breathwork classes soon, focusing on transformative breathing exercises to unlock deeper levels of relaxation and self-awareness.
Both pranayama and breathwork classes are available online, allowing you to experience their profound benefits from anywhere in the world.
