IKEA, ABBA and Lisa Lalér

Sweden is famous for IKEA, ABBA, Minecraft… and Spotify! Today we speak with the lovely Lisa Lalér, who was born and raised in Stockholm in Sweden. We’re extremely grateful that Lisa opened up to us about her turbulent childhood and the trauma accumulated in her body which manifested as stiffness; so much so, that when she came to the practice of Ashtanga yoga she was praised as the stiffest student Maria Boox had ever seen! We spoke to Lisa about leaving her marriage to pursue her dreams, and the social issues with travelling to Mysore without either of her two young children, and how she processed many of the emotions that came up through the practice with the help of therapy. We were struck with how life can take us in such unexpected directions and how love can come to us at any age! Lisa Lalér is the head teacher and co-owner alongside her sister Lotta Lalér of the Yoga Shala Stockholm. She is an Authorized Level 2 Ashtanga Yoga Teacher and devout student of R.Sharath Jois in Mysore, India.
