Soulful Sundays -

Mantra singing, meditation and poetry

December 7, 2025

15:00-16:30

Velkommen til en hjertevarm nærende hvilende stund sammen!

Denne Soulful Sunday på Northern Light Yogas studio i Ski blir det mantrasang (hjertesang) og guidet meditasjon med poesilesing hvor du inviteres til å ligge komfortabelt og la poesien fylle ditt nervesystem og dine celler.
Poesi som inviterer deg inn til det  hvilende indre rom i deg. Som alltid er der. Bakenfor støy, tanker og følelser. Et kjærlig stille nærvær. Det blir også spilt levende meditativ musikk.

Kom med deg selv akkurat som du er! «Vakker» sangstemme er ikke nødvendig ~ kom med din stemme. I mantrasang handler det ikke om å prestere eller synge «fint». Men la din stemme fylle kroppen din, og de helende vibrasjoner fra sankritordene i mantrasangene. Og helt enkelt ~ det å synge har en beroligende effekt på kropp og sjel! Og særlig i fellesskap. Du kan også komme og bare lytte om du ønsker det. Vi sitter i sirkel og du inviteres til å lukke øyene mens du synger, og la sangen lede deg inn i meditasjon. 

Kanskje blir det også litt intuitiv guidet dans.... vi ser hvordan flyten blir :) 

Karina Dahlum holder denne kvelden. Hun er musiker, musikkterapeut og yogainstruktør, og med en stor kjærlighet for meditasjon og mantrasang. Karina har blant annet hentet sin kjennskap til mantrasang på hennes spirituelle reiser i India. 

Litt mer om mantrasang:

Mantrasang kan beskrives som en snarvei til meditasjon. I India kalles mantrasang for kirtan som betyr "devotional song" - hengivende sang. De fleste av sangene/chantene er på sanskrit - et urgammelt språk fra India. Sanskritordene er kjent for sine sterke vibrasjoner som har en helende evne. Mantrasangene består av korte fraser som gjentas, så det er enkelt å synge med.

Family Yoga med Julia

30 November, 2025

15:00-16:30

I denne 60-minutters familietimen inviterer vi hele familien til å praktisere yoga sammen.
Alle gjør de samme øvelsene – med små tilpasninger slik at både barn (fra 5 år), tenåringer, foreldre og besteforeldre kan være med. Timen legger vekt på samarbeid, støtte og det å ha det gøy sammen.

Øvelsene består av en balansert kombinasjon av rolige og mer dynamiske bevegelser, tøyninger, balanseøvelser og enkle pusteteknikker. Underveis kan det hende vi hopper, løper, krabber rundt eller bruker hverandre som støtte – samtidig som vi lærer å lytte til pusten og kroppen. Målet er å skape en trygg atmosfære der alle kan utforske bevegelse, le, utfordre seg litt og oppleve ekte tilstedeværelse.

Vi ønsker dere hjertelig velkommen til en yogaopplevelse for hele familien – en time fylt med bevegelse, ro, samhold og glede.

Andre barn deltar gratis.

An Afternoon of Tea Ceremony and Heart Sutra

29 November, 2025

16:00-18:30

In the Bliss Room at Northern Light Yoga, there is a serene drawing of Guanyin — the Chinese depiction of Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.

In the Heart Sutra, Avalokiteśvara enters deep meditation and realizes the essence of the Buddha’s wisdom — understanding the nature of emptiness and the five skandhas (form, feeling, perception, mental formation, and consciousness).

Over centuries, the Heart Sutra has held a central place in Chinese Buddhism, inspiring calligraphy, painting, music, and meditation as expressions of insight and peace.

By weaving the spirit of the Heart Sutra into a tea ceremony, we bring this wisdom into a living, sensory experience — a practice of awareness through taste, sound, and mindful presence.

This event features:

Heart Sutra talk and meditation with music (by Massimo)

Mindful tea ceremony (by Maoting)

Chinese calligraphy experience (guided by Yating)

Join us for an afternoon of calm and cultural discovery.

Join us for a restorative journey into vibration, breath, and inner stillness ~ a space to relax, reset, and reconnect with your natural state of wellbeing.

We start with gentle movement of the spine to support relaxation of the body and preparing to receive sounds of the universe.

Breathwork Ceremony

November 9, 2025

15:00-16:30

A 90-minute journey through breath, movement, sound, and presence — a ceremony to awaken the life force within.

We begin by gathering in circle, arriving softly through shaking, free movement, and sound — releasing tension, awakening energy, and grounding into the body.

From this grounded state, you’ll be gently guided into the breathing technique, the intention of the ceremony, and an introduction to the natural rise of kundalini energy that may unfold through the practice.

As the rhythm builds, we move through four guided rounds of connected breathing to live drumming and music.
You may experience tingling, emotional release, deep calm, or spontaneous movement — all natural expressions of your body’s intelligence as it resets and rebalances.

Through shifts in CO₂ and O₂, the breath opens blood vessels and recalibrates the nervous system.

During the holds — on the exhale and inhale — we often touch moments of stillness, clarity, or expanded awareness.

The ceremony closes with a gentle landing: guided meditation, integration, and a sharing circle to anchor what has awakened.
No previous experience needed — only a curious heart and a willingness to be moved by your own breath.

Important: Please come with an empty stomach (minimum 1 hour before).

Not suitable during pregnancy or for those with heart conditions.

Warm welcome!

Soulful Sundays – Aroma Gong Bath

Introducing Soulful Sundays at Northern Light Yoga

Sunday, November 2nd, 2025

15:00-16:30

We’re excited to open a new chapter of calm & connection at Northern Light Yoga with our Soulful Sunday series.
Gentle, heart centered class series designed to help you recharge before a new week begins.

Each class session will offer a unique experience, from soothing sound baths to mindful yoga and relaxation practices.

This Sunday marks the first Soulful Sunday in Ski, setting the tone for many serene Sundays to come.

This Sunday you are welcome to take a break, lay down and immerce yourself in the healing vibration of the Gong whilst the space is filled with relaxing natural scents of essential oils. Together, sound and scent help reduce stress, quiet a busy mind and promote deep relaxation.

 We start by exploring the chosen scent of the evening, taking it in, feeling its qualities and effects. We then use the oils in a soothing self hand- and footmassage before we practise soft yogic movements with deep breath to release the remaining tensions held in the body.

Then we proceed to the main activity for that Sunday;  
To make ourselfs comfortable, lay down and receive the sound of the gong, vibrating and washing over us, taking us into a deeply relaxed, meditative state.

No experience needed to participate.
The yogic movements are very soft and will be practised sitting on the yogamat or on a chair

Warm welcome!

Sound & Visions – An Evening of Art, Music & Transformation

September 12, 2025

17:00–20:00 → Free ~ Open Entrance

20:00–21:40 → Paid (230 kr)

Welcome to the second edition of SOUND & VISIONS in Northern Light Yoga!

An evening with unique, soulful visual art and music, inspired by yoga, meditation, and spirituality.

The artists Miwa, Nils Pedersen, Vesna, Trine Kalstad, Julie Alexandra, Sara Emilie and Victoria Dahr will exhibit their beautiful artworks from 17:00 (free entrance).

At 19:00, we will have a synesthetic, multi-sensorial event where sound and visions will melt into each other.

The Gandharva Trance Ensemble (an open group of musicians that this time will feature Massimo Barberi, Anand Raj, Rayan Soeiro, Harbans Singh, Sonja Pepperrabbit, and other guests) will play mesmerizing soundscapes and hypnotic grooves made with ambient guitars, synths, saxophones, flutes, and melodic percussion.

During the concert, the visual artists Miwa and Vesna will translate the music into pictures, painting on canvas the colors and visions within the music.

A journey between dreamy visions, meditative soundscapes, and jazzy explorations.

This year, the theme of the event is:
Alchemy of Grief – Where sound and colors transmute individual and collective pain into art. Beauty, transcendence, mysticism, and harmony blooming from shadows and ashes.

During the ecstatic dance, a DJ set with warm drum'n' bass grooves will make us dance and sweat, and the evening will end with a relaxing sound-healing session led by Massimo Barberi.

SCHEDULE OF THE PROGRAM

- 17:00 doors open for the art exhibition (tea and mocktails will be served).

- 18:30 presentation of the concept Soul-Art with Nils Pedersen, Massimo, and Miwa.

- 19:00 Sound & Vision concert, with live music and painting.

- 20:00 Ecstatic Dance

- 21:00–21:40 Sound-healing relaxation

Here is some information about the visual artists:

• Line Løtveit (aka Miwa) has a distinctive character in her purely intuitive form of expression. Her work is inspired by free movements, as she devotes herself to the canvas like a dance with the paintbrush in her hand.

She started in 2021 by offering live performances at festivals and has held several interactive exhibitions.

Miwa is passionate about inspiring and bringing out the free artist and inner playful child in all of us.

• Nils Pedersen

In his own words:

“Creativity has been at the forefront of my life. From childhood, throughout my adult life, and up until today – in various ways. Through a classical schooling in painting, I was introduced to Vedic art by Curt Källmann on Öland in 1997. It was a revelation, and I have participated in continuing education courses almost every summer since then.

Joy and wonder are the greatest inspirations for my creative work. Spirituality and humor follow each other in my understanding. Undemandingness and playfulness as well.”

In the last 25 years, Nils has held many solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad. During this time, Nils also meditated TM and gave many Vedic art basic courses, mostly in Norway.

He lives and works in Oslo, in an artist community with 70 studios.

• Trine Kalstad’s paintings are figurative and inspired by symbols of esoteric traditions and/or elements of contemporary culture. Some details are recurrent in several pieces, like flying tarots representing spiritual wisdom through time and space.

It references the search for timelessness and the existential need for connecting and belonging to something deeper than just a social role.

In her own words:

“Yoga and meditation have been an incredibly important part of taking care of what is me...the very essence of me as part of everything. Being in contact with the body through silence and feeling how it is like its own universe gives me a deep joy and gratitude, and also a humility to be able to open up to both light and darkness. Also staying in touch with my playfulness and the joy of exploring. Maybe that is precisely what I most deeply express through my art. It is very personal to me, and every painting (creative) journey makes me feel connected to the magic of existence.”

• Julie Alexandra is a self-taught artist who started painting at the beginning of her spiritual and healing journey in 2022, using creativity as a tool for exploration, expression, play, and release.

In her own words:

“I’ve always been drawn to the magical, the energies, the moon, the unseen. I always use energies, cleansing, dance, and music while creating my work. The images often come to me in meditation with messages that are often hiding in the pieces. They are all deeply personal to me, but I trust they will speak to the right people; and luckily, I have found that they do!

Circles, textures, colors, women, mama Earth, and symbols that have come to me are becoming a bigger part of my work, just as in my life. Always learning to let go of control, trust, and flow with the process, in art and on my journey.”

• Vesna aka The Purple Spring:

"The colour purple, with its myriad hues, serves as my artistic medium, allowing me to express both my perception of the world and my inner essence. Specialising in portraiture on black and purple backgrounds, I delve into themes of sensuality, spiritual introspection, and the enigmatic depths of the subconscious.

Moving to Oslo in my early twenties expanded my artistic horizons.

Immersing myself in the city's underground scene profoundly influenced my creative journey, shaping my distinct artistic voice.

My portfolio includes commissioned portraits, figurative drawings, live paintings at musical

gatherings, and unique clothing designs infused with a dash of purple eccentricity."

• Sara Emilie Rasmussen

In 2012 Sara traveled to Australia and spent two years there. Here she picked up the paint-brushes again after many years.

Painting became one of her greatest tools on her healing journey, and still is.

Her paintings usually starts with an intention, but with no fixed plan of the outcome.

For her, the journey of each painting symbolizes life itself; It starts out fun and innocent, into a state of flow. Sometimes «mistakes» happen, and it may even look like the painting just got ruined. This is where the lessons is learned, and what is needed is to let go. To get back into the state of Trust, flow and surrender. Chances must be taken, and then, beautiful and magical surprises happen.

It’s all about emptying the mind and let spirit flow through.

She is inspired by nature, dreams, visions, music, and the great mystery of life.

Her hope is that her paintings can ignite a spark of light and inspiration to the souls that resonate.

To walk the path of the Heart and Soul.

And to remember that we are Love.

Entrance from 17:00–20:00 is free of charge.

For the extended evening program (20:00–21:40), a ticket is required.

"Healing Sound & Rhythm: Concert with Célio & Tal"

Friday, 1st August

18:30-21:00

We are very lucky to once again welcome to the studio the world-famous Brazilian percussionist Célio de Carvalho.

Célio is a well-known name in the world of Latin music, jazz, fusion, and pop.

He has played on more than 100 albums, collaborating with a wide range of artists in Brazil, Norway, and Germany.

But Célio is not only a musician—he is also a yogi and a spiritualist, with many years of dedicated practice and experience.

He comes from a family rooted in the tradition of Umbanda, a Brazilian spiritual path that blends African and European beliefs in a beautiful and magical syncretism. He has practiced various forms of meditation since a young age and has met many renowned gurus and spiritual mentors.

In this special healing concert, another amazing musician will perform alongside with Célio : Tal Zimra Coleman a composer, sound healer, and multi-instrumentalist whose musical journey is deeply rooted in meditation and the art of listening. Her primary muse is the Bansuri—Krishna’s bamboo flute—through which she channels a timeless connection to nature, spirit, and the unseen. She studied under the legendary Indian master Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, whose teachings continue to echo through her playing.
For over 35 years, Tal has been exploring and sharing the healing power of music, guiding others into deep states of stillness, presence, and transformation through sound.

~~~ For those interested in going even deeper into the healing power of sound, the day after the concert, Célio and Tall will also offer a workshop together with yoga teacher and musician Massimo Barberi.

There will be breathwork, yoga exercises, and musical practices based on the power of sound and rhythm. So it can be not only a workshop for healing through sound and yoga, but also to learn clever techniques for playing percussions, flutes and other musical instruments, and to channelize our creative power into music.

~ A unique opportunity to learn from two teachers with a lifetime of experience! ~

Bhakti Concert with Live Music and Mantra

with Tanushree

At Northern Light Yoga we will have very special guest

Tanushree Dutta.

30th of July

Unfortunately Govind Das and Monique had to change the program of their kirtan tour in Europe so they will not be able to come to Norway for the concert in Northern Light.

Though, we thought to keep anyway an evening dedicated to kirtan, bhajans and spiritual music, so we invited to sing for us (and with us!) Tanushree Dutta, an amazing Indian singer trained in classical Indian music and expert in Bhakti Yoga and devotional chanting.

If you, like us, love the special meditative vibe of classical Indian music, joins us for this special evening with kirtans, bhajans, and mantra chanting.

Tanushree will be accompanied at harmonium, flute and percussion by our studio’s yoga teacher Massimo Barberi and by various other musicians.

The concert will end with 30 minutes sound-healing and meditation.

Entrance fee: 190 kr

The class and heart-based journey is designed to compassionately open our bodies, voices, minds and hearts, and help each of us cultivate our own unique and loving relationship with the divine self.

~~~~ Come and sing, dance, and enjoy the beautiful spiritual community that Jacqueline and Govind Das create with their music. ~~~~

Welcome to a special evening with Sangeeta from Arunachala, India & Radical Devotion from Oslo, Norway

Join us for an uplifting evening of music, meditation, and heart-centered connection as we gather in devotion and meditation. Let your spirit be nourished by soulful kirtan, sacred chants, and the radiant presence.

This is going to be awesome.
As we come together to open our hearts, raise our voices, and be held in the power of devotion.
All are welcome — bring your voice, your presence, and your love.

Sangeeta and Be a Lovesong band are coming to Norway straight from Arunachala, India, the sacred mountain where Ramana Maharshi lived and taught. Sangeeta has spent many years in Arunachala, diving into the depths of devotion and sharing the uplifting vibration of kirtan around the world. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event to witness their profound wisdom and soul-stirring music. Experience the magic of Kirtan, sacred songs, and deep meditation.

Radical Devotion is based on an ancient Indian practice of using mantras that have a meditative, positive and uplifting effect. The music is mostly own compositions. Mantra chanting can in its simple way lead us into a meditative state with an open heart. Radical Devotion is a Norwegian-Swedish musical duo known for their meditative mantra music, which mixes Eastern spiritual traditions with Western musical elements. The group was formed in 2008 and consists of Trond Erland Sigvartsen and Linda Grahn. Their music acts as a tool for meditation, aiming to create a calm and uplifting atmosphere for listeners.

A Celebration of the Summer Solstice, International Day of Yoga & Pride

Dear friends, seekers, and radiant souls,

We warmly invite you to a unique midsummer gathering — a soulful, embodied celebration of light, presence, and the sacred expression of who we truly are.

On this powerful day we open all three temple spaces of Northern Light Yoga to the power of creative spirit to proudly celebrate Pride, honoring the rich spectrum of identities, genders, and loves that make our world so beautifully diverse.

TANTRANCE is a conscious ritual —

a journey where Anima and Animal meet, where spirit dances through the body, and where wild expression is refined through awareness. It’s a space of soul remembrance, deep play, and shared sacredness.

Here, you are invited not only to move and create, but to listen, feel, and recognise the divine in yourself and in each other— the highest yoga.

* Event Highlights:

~ Opening Yoga with Massimo

A gentle, heart-opening flow to ground, soften, and align with the solstice energy.

~Powerful Somatic Breathwork with Anand Raj

Consciously awaken your inner fire and clear space for transformation.

~ Shamanic Journey: Meet Your Power Animal

A journey within to meet your intuitive ally — the creature of instinct, wisdom, and raw beauty that lives within you.

~ Embodied Animal Dance

Guided free movement to explore your authentic rhythm, sensuality, and strength. Find your unique flow and let it move you.

* Northern Light Opens all 3 studios for you to offer a sacred space where you can:

~ Creative Art Temple

Enter the sanctuary of expression. Paint, draw, write — give voice to your vision with color and symbol. No technique needed, only truth.

~ Ecstatic Dance with Live DJ Set

Dance your essence. Take your painted vision back to the floor and move in wild joy. Flow, stomp, fly, surrender.

~ Healing Temple

Step into stillness. Receive or offer healing touch, presence, and care in a space of trust, rest, and inner connection.

~ Bar & Lounge

Chill, connect, and nourish with healthy snacks and alcohol-free PowerShakes from our conscious soul bar.

🕯 Closing Circle ~ Sound Healing & Tantric Healing Meditation
To close the space and integrate the energy we've cultivated —
lifting the global quantum field toward peace, unity, and One Love .

*🌈 A PRIDE-CENTERED CELEBRATION

This year's Tantrance is dedicated to inclusion, freedom, and expression of love in all its forms.

We welcome and uplift queer, trans, non-binary, fluid, and all LGBTQIA+ beings.

Your truth is sacred. Your presence is celebrated.

We co-create a safe, body-positive, and judgment-free space where everyone is seen and honored.

Let us come together in the spirit of unity — to embody love, diversity, and the essence of yoga: the recognition of the divine in all.

* Facilitators:

Full Moon Ceremony – Celebrating Completion and Illumination

With Northern Light Yoga

Wednesday, June 11th
19:00-21:00

Join us under the glowing light of the June Full moon for a powerful evening of ritual, release, radiant celebration, meditation, mantra, and full moon magic.

This moon, known as the Strawberry Moon, marks the ripening of fruit and the fullness of the heart. It is a time to harvest the sweetness of what we’ve grown, to release what no longer serves, and to open to joy, clarity, and transformation. As the last full moon of spring and a gateway into summer, it offers a powerful portal for renewal and rebirth.

This special gathering also honors the completion of our Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training here at Northern Light Yoga. Together, we’ll witness and celebrate the new teachers as they step into their light — with deep presence, open voices, and radiant hearts.

In a sacred circle, we will:

• Move through a transformative Kundalini kriya

• Deepen through moon-aligned meditation

• Lift our hearts with mantra singing and sound

• Reflect, release, and set heartfelt intentions beneath the moonlit sky

Let the lunar energy of June — a time of abundance, love, and inner growth — illuminate your path, as we celebrate endings, beginnings, and the ever-unfolding cycle of becoming.

All are welcome — whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or simply moon-curious. Come as you are and leave a little lighter.

✨ Thinking about joining the next Kundalini Teacher Training?

This is a perfect opportunity to feel into what might be coming your way and connect with graduates who’ve walked the path before you.

Join us for an open conversation afterwards,
ask your questions, and hear firsthand
about their experiences.
