About Gaiso
Experience the Mind-Body Connection
As a certified Ashtanga and Yin instructor, I bring a unique perspective to my classes, weaving together my anthropological insights with the ancient wisdom of yoga. My Ashtanga sessions are dynamic and powerful, emphasizing the connection between movement and culture, while my Yin classes provide a reflective space, exploring the cultural significance of stillness and introspection.

Holistic Approach to Physical Well-being
I am Gaiso, a seasoned anthropologist and a passionate 500 RYT yoga instructor who advocates for holistic well-being through yoga. Born with an innate curiosity about different cultures and human behavior, My journey in yoga began at during my late twenties, when I discovered the transformative power of both Ashtanga and Yin practices.
​
While completing my bachelor’s and master’s studies in anthropology, specializing in yoga and Hindu rituals and traditions, I have been instructed over 1,000 classes of yoga in Stockholm at SATS (the biggest gym chain in northern Europe), and organizing yoga and breathwork retreats in Marbella, Spain.
​
Driven by a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection and a desire to integrate my anthropological insights into the realm of personal well-being, I embarked on a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training (RYT) program. Here, I immersed myself in the philosophy and physicality of Ashtanga and Yin yoga, merging her academic background with her newfound passion for holistic health.

​
My teaching style reflects my anthropological approach, fostering an inclusive environment where students explore not only the physical postures but also the cultural and historical contexts that shape the practice. My classes go beyond the mat, encouraging students to appreciate the interconnectedness of mind, body, and culture.
Beyond my roles as an anthropologist and yoga instructor, I am dedicated to promoting cultural understanding and fostering a sense of unity. I envision a world where the wisdom of different cultures converges with the ancient teachings of yoga, creating a space for mutual respect and shared well-being.
With a mind attuned to cultural nuances, a body grounded in yogic wisdom, and a heart dedicated to holistic connection, I continue to inspire and guide others on a journey of self-discovery and cultural appreciation.
