Maria Vinther
LY & Yoga Teacher, Studio owner of Yoga By Mikenta, Albertslund
“Mikkala taught me one of the most important life lessons, to focus on all the things I love. Why play small, when I can dance, think, and move in the highest vibration, outside of the box, in a self-loving way. Mikkala is one of my most inspiring teachers, who I still look up to after so many years. Mikkala is tapped into the most beautiful channel with a frequency that never gets old and is always full of love. An angel on earth with the most beautiful mission, Mikkala is full of feminine power, grace and love!”

“In a hectic day-to-day Living Yolates has for several years been a breathing space and way to self nourish for me. When I started the Living Yolates Teacher Training it was with the intention of going deeper to understand the depth in the practice and be able to connect even further with myself.
I love the flow and combination of practices that Living Yolates contains as well as the philosophy behind. The LY Teacher Training has strengthened and grown my love for Living Yolates. “

"Living Yolates is for me a way to be alive. I feel calm, and strong in my body. I feel abundant and joyful. Through the LY modules I have gained so many tools - many more than I had expected!

So if I have to do something good for myself or I miss a connection to myself, then I practice Living Yolates"

“The Living Yolates Teacher Training has been a great way for me to deepen my own yoga practice and take my teaching to a new level. I have especially enjoyed exploring the liberating potential of dance with others in a community. It works really well that the training is spread over many months, so that you can work continuously with the themes that come up and integrate the practice into your everyday life. Mikkala and Isa are two wonderfully present and passionate teachers who have so much to offer and I have been very happy to learn from them.”

Loa Satie Espersen
Podcaster Producer of Underfladisk & LY Teacher, Djursland/Århus
“In 2015 I graduated as an instructor in Living Yolates and it has had a huge impact on my life. In addition to being a gift to myself, the teacher training has also become a gift to the hundreds of people I have taught over the years. I never get tired of teaching because it works every time! Teaching Living Yolates has shown me how much holistic bodywork can impact people's lives. I have seen countless students unfold as the unique beautiful people they are by following the melody of yoga, pilates and dance. My recommendation is to get out and teach right away and feel the philosophy behind Living Yolates move in you as an instructor and those you instruct. When you see the magic happen, you can't stop teaching. The LY teacher training has changed my life for the better!”

Alice Miethe
Artist, LY & Yoga Teacher, Copenhagen
“Living Yolates is so much more than just exercise. It is an approach to life with curiosity and the joy of life, as well as a way to move stagnant energy within my body which gets stuck sometimes. I discovered on the LY journey, that I often tried to figure out my life with my head, and therefore often get in my own way, shadow my own path. In the loving and present space that Mikkala and Isa create, there is space and support to let go and unfold everything that I have held back. I feel a new confidence that the light I carry inside has an important place in this world, and it must never be hidden away again. I have found my community and I dare to live more from the heart, rather than the control tower in my head and it is wonderfully liberating.”

Dahlia Dudas
LY Teacher, Copenhagen
“The LYTT, has given me the deeper confidence and push I needed to trust my capacity as a teacher and spaceholder.
To be surrounding by amazing and beautiful women also gave me an extra dimension to the LY experinece, by the way we mirrored, supported and held each other. There is so much to learn by observing one another. The connection to the deeper subtleties of the practice and how to hold space for trauma has giving me the boost I needed to stand more confidant in this world and with what I can offer. So thank you Mikkala and Isa for all that you share and all the work you do. It’s been a gift and blessing.”

"LYTT gave me much more than what I dared dreaming of! I have long been attracted to Living Yolates - These LY girls, they just radiate in a completely different way.
The modules at LYTT has been a fantastic experience and development journey for me, where the contact between body and mind has made me listen to myself in a whole different way than I did before.
At TT. Retreat I was equipped to get started on being able to teach. I am now ready to gather a team and practice it all before I have to submit my exam video ”

Betina Faurbye Loefgren
LY Teacher & Holistic Therapist, Studio owner of House and Essence/Blooming Circle, Copenhagen
“The journey with LY has opened up even more love within me. I have integrated many more tools into my daily self-love practice, opening up the wisdom of my body, to my body's self-healing potential, and the support and anchor that lives deep within my core. I have connected to my essence on this journey and experience with LY.
I will be forever grateful to have been on this journey, to have chosen myself, which now continues through all aspects of my life.
I have opened up to even more self-love, so much nourishment and learning, which is felt on my inside and is expressed in my outer space. A strength and a reminder that I can only convey what I am myself. I have also gained precious friendships with others in the training and I am so grateful for this communityl
Thank you for you, you are huge gifts♥️”

Michelle Silva
PB Nutrition and Health & LY teacher, Odense
“I met Living Yolates when I was in a deep life crisis after losing my daughter on term day. LYTT has been a huge part of my grief process, where I really found back to myself, found my inner strength again and created a loving and spacious relationship with my body and the life experience I carry with me - namely being a mother to a dead and a living child. Living Yolates has meant everything to me and I clearly felt how I made contact with my body and myself through movement - where I could both be in the bodily impression of grief but also use movement to express my grief.
I ended LYTT full of new tools to take good care of myself, balance myself through my life, express myself from my heart and allow myself to be vulnerable in a community, as well as tools to step strongly into my life and into being a teacher.”

Alexandra Benedicte Collin
LY Teacher, Copenhagen
“Mikkala and Isa are some of the best teachers I have had in my life. They are the teachers that the future needs: deeply authentic, insanely talented in their field, they encourage you to be yourself and to be open and honest. They support everything that arises and go with what is relevant without taking anything personally. They are able to generalize what is in the room and lift it from the personal space, so that we all learn from it - all the while respecting the integrity of the individual. They have a clear intention and from there feel the room, the group and the context and create with it and for us. And then they are so generous and openly share EVERYTHING they have created and continue to create - it's really fantastic. After graduation, you can take everything with you and create on your own from their foundation. It is a huge gift and life experience to take the LYTT. THANKS”

Psychology student & LY Teacher, Odense
"LYTT has been a really fun, exciting and therapeutic journey - with room for everything and full of a vibrating life force. In the modules, we went much deeper and it was more healing than I had expected. Through this journey, I rediscovered my inner and outer strength - I came home to myself! I therefore had the opportunity on the modules to walk the path myself, feel and understand on my own body how movement and mindset can heal and strengthen. This means that in the future I can teach from my heart and at the TT. Retreat I got the last tools to be able to stand strong in the role as a LY Teacher.”
“Mikkala is a whole wildly inspiring and warm mentor and teacher - her empathy, presence and positive mind for life is so rewarding and inspiring"

“Living Yolates is a way for me to find a way back to myself! On the LY modules, I experienced one great gift after another. I have been given so many new tools that I had not anticipated, and it give me a freedom to be able to feel into my body, and to learn what I need throughout the day. LY helps me to remember who I am and what I want to stand for”
