The Journal

Felina Hæstrup is a Living Yolates instructor and psychology student based in Copenhagen, driven by a curiosity about the connection between body, mind and spirit. Living Yolates combines yoga, Pilates and dance with elements of traditional Chinese medicine and energy work. At its core, for Felina, it is about tuning in: moving with intention, being present in the body and allowing it to feel good. She grew up with aromatherapy as a natural part of life – as the daughter of Karmameju’s founder, Mette Skjærbæk – with the scent of lavender close at hand and small sensory rituals from an early age. We talk about meeting yourself where you are – in the day and in life – about Felina’s rituals and habits, and about listening to your inner voice rather than seeking answers externally.
