Hi,
My name is Mikaela but many know me also as Mika. A curious, passionate, optimistic & most likely an old soul. :)
Background from corporate world
With a 8+ years with a successful career within corporate finance I decided to quite my job, sell my flat and go travelling. Why? For a some time I have had a feeling that something was missing, my heart and soul was longing for something else. I wanted to be more connected to nature, to share my passion for yoga, spend my days slower and more mindfully & live in communities.
The magic of India & the best decision of my life (so far)
After my second time in Bali, where I saw how other people lived and chose another type of lifestyle, my dreams started to feel realistic. I went to Rishikesh, India. Sitting at a café with the spiritual river Ganges next to me I decided to take the leap, leave the comfort of my life and follow my heart. Putting myself into the unknown and have the trust that it will work out.
Today, 2 years later, I have nerver regret it once. This is the best decision of my life so far and today I live my passion as a yoga teacher, space holder, and let my curious soul explore life.
My work
I have, as long as I can remember, had a passion for health and the holistic approach is my point of view. How everything connects together, body-heart-mind-soul and vice versa. How important it is that we take care of ourselves, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, for a good wellbeing. We cannot separate these things, even if our health care systems try to.
With a background in figure skating (20+ years) I have always had a strong connection with my body (more or less healthy) and feeling, expressing through movements and music. After my skating years I found yoga and it was here the emotional and spiritual part came into my life. I slowly started to create more balance and harmony in life.
I don´t believe in "one solution fits all". We are all so different, but if we can connect back to nature and our bodies I believe we can find what is meant for us. When we are connected within we can find what we are all looking for, peace. My choice of living is may not yours, but my practices and guidance may help you find your way.
Movement, breath, sounds, nature and deep, genuine connections.
This is what I want to share with others. Yoga, dancing, nature experiences, meditation, ceremonies & rituals, self-care and other practices to regulate our nervous system. To support you to come back to your essence and to live more authentic, alive, happy and free.
That is why I created MikaMeraki. Meraki is Greek and means "doing something with your soul, creativity, and love". Simply putting a piece of yourself into the things you do. To live and act with passion and devotion.
Join me on the journey where we (re)connect to our bodies and follow our hearts. To a life where we experience more meraki and glimmers.
I am here to guide and support you.
