What Auður and the yoga helped me with for the birth was that I felt so incredibly safe when it all began. I wasn't afraid of the contractions even though they were almost unbearable, I managed to breathe between them even when the pauses were short, and I knew the whole time that it would come to an end. I carried so much more confidence with me than the two times before. It is probably still the greatest challenge and effort a woman can go through. But bringing one little miracle into the world without any pain relief makes every woman incredibly proud, and having done it twice, I am sure that we women carry some amazing strength within us.

Dear Auður. I feel I have so much to thank you for, because my birth went so well thanks to "breathing my way through it", and the midwives were lost for words. Of course I told them you had taught us girls how to handle it, and that every pregnant woman should be encouraged to come to yoga with you.

Gurudass Kaur is a true bundle of joy and energy who knows how to get grown-ups playing and forgetting their age for a while. I warmly recommend this course, even if only to rediscover the playful joy of your inner child.

The yoga teacher training at Jógasetrið was a transformative journey for me, and the best part of the journey was coming home. Home to myself, to my true self, and learning to nurture that self. The training gave me amazing wisdom, friends and tools for life. I am deeply grateful to have met all these precious souls and to have learned from wonderful yoga masters and teachers. Signing up for this training is one of the best decisions I have ever made. If you've been thinking about yoga teacher training and want to go deep, Jógasetrið is the place, with dear Auður and her people as your guides.

Taking part in Gurudass's kids yoga course was a unique experience. It was a hands-on course where Gurudass shared countless activities from her experience and treasure chest of ideas. I'm a primary school teacher and could straight away use lots of her games and exercises in my everyday teaching. Just as much, I was inspired to approach my students in a fresh way. I wholeheartedly recommend this course, it was both useful and deeply refreshing ❤️

This yoga journey has been quiet and powerful at the same time. The progress hasn't always been visible, but it has happened in the breath that no one hears but me — in the awareness that suddenly grows, in the moment I choose presence over performance. When I don't need to prove anything 💜 A gentle homecoming. A space where the body listens and the mind bows. Because the most powerful transformation is not the one that is seen, but the one that is felt. I have made a dream come true and I am a changed person. My heart has grown 💜 This has been a beautiful and transformative journey under the strong guidance, experience and wisdom of dear Auður Bjarnadóttir and the guest teachers. I so warmly recommend this yoga training to everyone, whether you plan to teach or not, truly one of the best gifts I have given myself 💜🙏💜

Coming to yoga saved my pregnancy, and I was amazed at how incredibly much it helped me in the birth. I turned to so many of the exercises we did, and to the encouraging words about "owning" your birth. My experience of the birth (which really wasn't especially easy) was AMAZING, I felt in charge of everything and it felt like no big deal. THANK YOU!

What stands out is how Auður has woven all these threads together with her insight, experience, intuition and wisdom. Gathered them and made them accessible. She leads by example. She lets others share in her own path of growth and the lessons she learns along the way. Yoga philosophy in action. Love as the guiding light. That is what has stood out for me.

There's no question that yoga is the best preparation you could imagine for birth, I used the breathing so much, and not least the mindset. I wasn't afraid for a single second and trusted my body 100% with this task. I look back on the birth with joy and warmth, it was a wonderful experience, and there's no better reward than the little mouse snoring beside me now in the bed she was born in. Thank you Auður for your lovely guidance during my pregnancy, I will share the secret behind a good birth and keep sending pregnant women to yoga with you.

Yoga with Auður twice a week was a precious part of my life. More often than not I shed a tear during the mantras, almost always fell asleep in the relaxation, and sometimes woke up just as the Kundalini class was starting. I fell in love with everything to do with spiritual preparation.

After the birth I feel a bit like anything is possible, as if I've conquered the world, as if my confidence has jumped up a few levels! I wish everyone could feel this way after their birth, and without a doubt I owe it all to the classes with Auður, AND ESPECIALLY THE COUPLES EVENING. Good luck to you all!

My partner was with me through it all, just like last time. The difference is that then he was present, but this time he was a part of the birth. In some strange way it was simply an incredibly romantic, intimate and magical moment that was 100% ours together. Truly indescribably precious, and I sincerely hope you all get to experience a birth like the one I was so lucky to have.
