Who teaches the workshops?

SmartYogi and StrongYogi are developed by us, Eilin and Halat, the founders of Yogaskolen These workshops are based on the fundamental principles we base our yoga classes on in addition to the education we have been giving since 2018. 

We both have a great love for nutritious movement and believe that a lot of pain could be avoided and a better life achieved if we had learned what lies behind a healthy body. Because who doesn't want a body that works?

Halat has, among other things, worked his way almost completely healthy from both fibromyalgia and panic disorder using many of these techniques, and Eilin has spent many years studying yoga and nutritious movement with many of the foremost figures in their field. 

We hope you will join us for a full day of learning, practice, and personal growth!
