About

 

Lisa åkessoN

based in Stockholm, Sweden

A wild and confusing 36-hour-long stay in South Africa and a suggestion to read The Power of Now started my spiritual path many years ago. I didn't know it back then, but my search for meaning and fulfilment would take me across the world before I finally found Ayurveda and Yoga.

My first Ayurvedic training happened in the tiny coastal town of Varberg in Sweden, around the corner from where I grew up. The irony is just beautiful. Through the years I have thrown myself head first into anything my heart has guided me towards.

I first tried meditation at a 10-day silent Vipassana retreat in 2012. A strong desire for time alone and the chance to reflect guided me to this quite extreme but very rewarding experience. Years of practicing Yoga led me to a 200-hour Raja Yoga teacher training in Hawaii, followed by certifications in Sweden as an Ayurvedic Health Advisor and Ayurvedic Massage Therapist in 2015.

In 2016 I was finally certified as an Ayurvedic chef back in Hawaii. After an internship with my teacher and gaining loads of experience cooking for groups, and clients in treatment and training, I began sharing my knowledge of Ayurvedic cooking through workshops. Over the years I have offered classes and workshops in South Africa, England, Germany, Sri Lanka, The US, Switzerland, Austria and Sweden.

In 2017 I settled in Hamburg, Germany, and ran my business out of there and online until spring 2023 when I moved to Stockholm.

In 2022 I certified as a Cognitive, Integrative and Transformative Coach and currently have my focus on 1:1 coaching in person in Stockholm as well as online.

I also run retreats in India, Sweden, and Germany on a regular basis and work with women’s circles online through Samtal med Storasyster.

With pranayama, meditation, asana, energy meditations, ayurvedic treatments, consultations and cooking classes, I give my students and clients an opportunity to experience themselves in a new way. Ayurveda can be so much fun if we get to explore it freely without harsh judgement and dogmatic rules. If we understand the principles, we can apply it to our daily life in simple ways. 

With my knowledge of both Yoga and Ayurveda, my intention is to inspire a balanced lifestyle and practice, suitable for the challenges of modern life. This is not always easy, and I continue to explore ways to share my discoveries with you. 
I offer Ayurvedic Consultations, Yoga Classes, Ayurvedic Treatments and Cooking workshops from Hamburg, Germany. Get in touch here to ask any questions you may have,
I look forward to hear from you.
