At Yogalåva you can spend the night in luxurious glamping tents, attend yoga classes, treat yourself to a relaxing massage and calm down in a rural setting.
We are a family business consisting of Ole-Kristian and Turid Jørgensen Honerud.
We met when Turid was well on his way into a musician career in the band Katzenjammer, while Ole-Kristian at that time worked with refugees in the welfare service in Oslo. After some years together in the big city and out on tour the dream of the good life in the country began to grow.
​
The dream was a small farm where we could grow our own vegetables, have some chickens tripping in the yard og å turn the barn into a local own for b5-315-bb3 136bad5cf58d_yoga teaching, music teaching, small concerts and other cultural events.
When we found Sørter Gård on Neslandsvatn in Drangedal, we were convinced that this was the place where we should realize the plans.
We moved in the summer of 2013, and January 2014 we went together to San Francisco to take "yoga teacher training" 200T at Asta Yoga.
Ole-Kristian picked timber in his own forest and has carpented steadily alongside his full-time job as general manager of Tokestua culture house. And finally, July 2019, the long-awaited Yoga Barn was ready!
​
We have been teaching yoga here on the farm and the surrounding area since 2014, but from July 2019, the barn itself was finally ready for use!
Yogalåva is under development and pr today we offer yoga, massage, rental of the room for parties, activities and accommodation.
In a short time we will open a farm café where there will also be various activities and intimate concerts.
Turid underviser Ashtanga Yoga, Vinyasa flow, rolig avspennende yoga og barneyoga.
Ole-Kristian is an Ashtanga Yoga instructor and will also teach other types of yoga in the future. He has gained many ideas during construction as he has known how a craftsman's body may need special exercises and stretches to avoid overloads, stiff muscles and injuries.
We are keen to convey that everyone can do yoga, with the right attitude and a little patience.

Yoga is not about performing , but doing something good for the body and working from the starting point you have.
For us, yoga is about finding verktøy to get more peace and_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136badiskande icf5. And in addition, all the health benefits come as a big bonus!
