The surprise was evident on our faces when the first sign we saw in the hallway was GANGSTER YOGA! What on earth had we signed up for! 😅 I got another surprise at my first yoga class when it turned out that I had forgotten that it had been 25 years since I last did yoga regularly. And I had also forgotten that my body has gone through both one and the other changes in the last 25 years (hint: stress pounds, stiff hips and knees) 🤣 But, as long as I'm 25 years old inside, it's no problem 😇 and especially not when I've always Panther balm (too sore muscles) with me! 😂 Because this was hard! And very delicious (and painful), in a fabulously beautiful place with a wonderful group of people who were suddenly together on the mats, with a national romantic view like no other. And then it's just been bonus upon bonus upon bonus in this fantastic place!
Kathrine is one of those who has used Vossabia for several years. A truly wonderful lady, yoga instructor and teacher, who also proves to be a super good ambassador for Vossabia 🐝🧘♀️ She is also a DNT tour guide, and always carries her little bag with smart and good products, including Citrus Deo , Panterbalsam and Tindved and Nettle are regular products.
I advised Kathrine to also have Calendula Balm and Chamomile Balm in her hiking bag, they have a permanent place in my first aid kits, and are perfect for hiking too 🥾
🧿 Eye balm was her introduction to Vossabia, and she found it after searching for eye cream without parabens and other nonsense. She got so excited and started testing out more products like most of the lip balms , Chamomile balm (which makes a quick and big difference on dry heels, she also says), and she's got her boyfriend hooked on Tindved and Nesle too 🤩 He loves the glow and fresh complexion he gets, and feels really fresh with it, Kathrine said. I like to hear that!
Linda and I gave both Kathrine and several other ladies here some shampoo from our bottles in some small water glasses, and there have been some satisfied ladies in the shower 🛀! Both Kathrine, Alexandra and Hilde Helene experienced at once the fresh scent of nature, and not least that they don't need conditioner. And dropping conditioner, Alexandra never thought was possible 🙏 She is so satisfied, and I am so happy to experience customers so close to hand while they test the products and come out of the shower with big grins 🫶
 Alexandra was immediately hooked on Thornwood and Nettle, which made her skin so supple and with a beautiful glow. She immediately went in and ordered a face pack and shampoo ! Look how nice!
The lovely Hilde Helene from Oslo made many of us wade around barefoot in the snow 👣❄️ and she was quick to go out the first evening to buy the little I had with me, and now in 5 days I have tested out Shampoo , Body Soap , Body Balm , Spiced Body Scrub and Huldrelepper , and then Thornwood and Nettle on a teaspoon for testing 😍 Hilde got the nice fall in her hair after one wash, and quickly felt how good it was with herbal shampoo for hair and scalp! Great fun! And: Hilde Helene is on the board of the non-profit association La Humla Suse ! This is an important organization that works to preserve the diversity of bumblebee species and their habitats in the country 🌍 Become a member, I say!
 Linda and I have been pampering ourselves with lots of delicious Vossabia products these days, but Panterbalsam has come a long way after hard and enjoyable yoga. And Linda is so nice where she tells everyone about Vossabia, even though I planned to only be on vacation, but it was so fun when people love hearing about the concept and getting to try nature on their skin 🙌🥰 And look how good Linda has become! Here she gets expert yoga guidance from the amazing Ibrahim.
 🧘♂️ Another bonus is our extremely skilled, and wildly warm-hearted and knowledgeable yoga teacher on the course, Alexander Medin. He is among the very best in Ashtanga yoga, he has taught us a lot of deep yoga philosophy, and he has such a big heart 🫶! He is the founder of the Back in the Ring foundation, which is a nationwide yoga offer for addicts who want to make a comeback in life. At Nøsen he helps people who have fallen outside in life and gives them the opportunity to build themselves up through community service, by increasing their sense of responsibility and strengthening and good yoga practice that they can integrate into their lives, with many fantastic results and stories of lives that change direction 🙏❤️🩹
 Hence the sign at the entrance with Gangsteryoga (which is a voluntary project started for inmates in prison). So here at Nøsen yoga and mountain hotel there is a rich and diverse offer of yoga retreats throughout the year for anyone, and in addition a network of volunteers who work here and people who are here for shorter and longer periods while they try to get Back in the Ring. I love it 💕
 The next bonus was some intimate concerts that can only be described as magically beautiful! 🎤 Jannike Kruse and sisters Benedikte and Anine enchanted us with their magnificent voices and atmospheric power! Wow! Everyone sat with tears in their eyes and chills on their bodies 🥹 It was just to enjoy! Yes, Nøsen offered beautiful days on so many levels!!
 Jannike Kruse, musician and actress, has been in many TV series, films, musicals and has held a number of concerts, and I have now decided to go to Oslo on March 9th where she will hold the concert "Songs for a New World" at Christiania Theater with three other singers. There will only be this one unique concert with very special material, so I will be driving around easily from the March 8th event in Sogn where I will give a lecture at Eikum hotel, to Oslo on March 9th! Looking forward to it 🎶🤩
So finally: I've managed to pick some strylav at about 900 m! Yesss! It's going straight into a glass jar, filled with 40% when I get home, and then left for a month. It'll be great to have in the medicine cabinet if I have any respiratory problems in the future. Another bonus from here!  So nature here also gives! And the area around Nøsen is full of fantastic juniper and pine trees too 🌲 So here there are possibilities to create the best steam baths among other things, something that will be perfect next year when Nøsen has finished a new department with a spa area among other things 😉 Then I will be happy to come back and contribute a little extra in that department. Wild spas are my specialty!Thank you for a fantastic winter holiday yoga to Nøsen yoga and mountain hotel, our wonderful new yoga friends, and the exceptional teacher Alexander ✨🥰
Warm regards, |
A bonus was that some of the lovely participants here recognized me, as it turned out that there were several customers of Vossabia here at Nøsen! 🥰 Something so wonderful, surprising and very fun! And especially fun when customers here shared their good experiences with Vossabia with those who didn't know about Vossabia 🐝 There was a quick sharing of Vossabia products in cups and bowls and on teaspoons for testing for curious yogis 😂
