I regularly host events online or with my fantastic collaborators in various locations. The following events are scheduled for 2025/2026 (continuously updated):

Somatic Sunday – Rest before the rest

📅 December 7 at 10:00 am–12:00 pm (CET)
December can mean different things to us. For many, it is an intense time for completing projects, preparing for upcoming holidays, and meeting friends and family. But have you planned any time for recovery for yourself? Often, we tend to skip rest just when we need it most. Are you longing to slow down and have the opportunity to unwind and connect with yourself? To let go of the increased muscle tension that may cause you pain? Welcome to this online Somatic Movement workshop with a focus on rest and calming the nervous system. For the workshop you need nothing more than a mat, comfortable clothes, a quiet place to be and access to the internet. The workshop is held in English.
Price: SEK 450 (EURO 40)

Somatic Tango – Connecting the dots

📅 November 17 at 17.30–20.00 (CET)
By request, we will return this fall with a stand-alone workshop in Somatic Tango together with the wonderful Malin Backström. We begin the course by focusing on the anatomy around our shoulders and arms. After that, you get down on your mat and receive gently guided movements to help you release unconscious muscle tension. You know those tensions in our stressed shoulders? Or the ones we usually hide between the shoulder blades? The ones that also affect your dance partner and make them need to compensate? We give in to them and let go. Then we bring the same focus into the tango, where we explore how the dance can be both comfortable and stable without these tensions.

Workshops on request

Do you have a passion for tango and want to be able to continue dancing? Are you planning for workshops and are interested in themes about tango and keeping healty as a tango dancer?

I hold workshops on demand. Here are some examples, but you are also very welcome to contact me for suggestions.

Anatomy of the Tango

Are you looking for a deeper understanding of how you can use your body in a way that is more optimal both for your tango and for your health? I go through the anatomical structures and show models of skeletons to give an understanding of how it all fits together. We search for and experience how the structures feel in our own body. In this way, you first get a theoretical understanding which is then deepened by the experienced anatomy of your own body. We conclude by seeing how the anatomy affects us in our tango and how we can create the best conditions for a comfortable and sustainable dance.

The body's fascia (connective tissue) - what is it and what does it have to do with tango? 

This is how it works.

Our fascia is what actually holds our entire body together. It is found in and around our muscles, our joints, our organs and our bones. When the fascia becomes stiff, it's like wearing a sweater that's too tight, we can't fit. It makes our dancing uncomfortable and it often leads to pain that can prevent you from dancing or make you limited in your repertoire. I go through methods that are both effective and gentle to take care of your fascia and you get the opportunity to try it yourself and ask questions.

Resistance Stretching

An effective way to maintain and increase your mobility.

Many of us have been told that we should stretch...but not so much about HOW to do it in the best way. Stretching often involves bringing a muscle to its most stretched position and holding it there for a certain period of time. Does that sound familiar? What happens then is that we increase the mobility around our joints. Contrary to what many people think, it is not where we want increased mobility, our joints do well with stability. What is required, however, for our muscles to quickly shorten in a boleo and then relax and lengthen is that we take care of our connective tissue inside the muscles. Come and try it and you will discover the difference yourself.
