MY HOLISTIC PHILOSOPHY

“Your own positive future begins at this moment. All you have is right now. Every goal is possible from here,” – Lao Tzu

Julia Håkansson

I started as a yoga practitioner over 20 years ago, as a relaxation method throughout my pregnancy. At the time I had no idea that my studies and this journey would take me on an amazing spiritual and professional path to holistic health. During the last decade I have completed studies at Marianne Wells’ yoga school in Costa Rica, Rasayana Medical Center of Ayurveda in Sweden and gradually perfected several massage techniques.

Personal connection and establishing trust is an important aspect of my practice. In doing so, I am better able to support you in finding your own way to improved health and a more fulfilling lifestyle. I believe it’s essential that we not only look after our physical bodies, but also nourish our mental health and the more subtle elements of our nature. The regular practice of yoga infuses stillness in the mind, correct nutrition improves clarity and massage brings healing benefits, at Equilibrio da Vida you’ll find all three coming together to create a range of benefits for both body and mind.

Your experience with Equilíbrio da Vida

SERVICES

As an Internationally certified yoga teacher my work has seen me lead classes across the globe from Costa Rica to Sweden. Today I have my own yoga studio, Equilibrio da Vida, in Mindelo São Vicente, Cape Verde, and am often requested for freelance work, at home and abroad.

Each massage session relieves your physical body, alleviating tension or pain while simultaneously rebalancing and recharging. Tailored to meet your particular needs, I offer elements of both oriental and classic techniques, helping you feel restored and well-rested.

Love goes through the stomach, especially self love. Discover more about nutrition and life style adjustment, I run sessions tailored for each particular individual. Please see the Ayurveda section for further information.

Organising yoga and Ayurveda retreats on beautiful island of Santo Antão, Cape Verde, where you can choose from yoga in the nature, by the pool as well as meditation techniques, all tailored to meet your needs. Retreats including hiking, personal development, nutrition and, of course, some free time to connect to each other and to mother Nature.

Testimonials

  • star rating  Ótimo professor de ioga - Uma aula de ioga absolutamente fantástica. Como iniciante, Julia fez questão de demonstrar algumas poses mais simples e verificar regularmente se eu estava na posição correta. Amei tanto a aula que voltei para outra antes de voar para casa!

  • star rating  Massagem e Yoga com Julia - Fiz uma massagem com Julia neste verão. Durante a massagem, Julia estudou cuidadosamente meu corpo e encontrou aqueles pontos e áreas que requerem atenção especial. Eu recomendo passar um curso de massagem de Julia. Eu, infelizmente, moro longe agora. Com os melhores cumprimentos a Julia, Olga.
