    Welcome to us!

    We (Sofia 11, Oscar 14 and I Annika 44) live in Östersund, a city in the middle of Sweden with a lot of nature and adventures just outside the door.

    We live next to the lake Storsjön and we often visit beautiful areas in the surronding.

    I work as a teacher in Psychology at Mid Sweden University. Yoga, mindfulness and beeing outdoor is a part of my daily life. I would love to do acroyoga if you are interested :-)
