Karen Lise Gaardsvig
VITAL festival
Kundalini Yoga & Mantra Chanting
As a teacher and facilitator, I explore with curiosity the dynamic interplay between body, mind, and spirit. With roots in Kundalini yoga, mantra meditation, and breathwork, I guide practices that invite deeper awareness, presence, and transformation.
I am driven by a desire to create a safe and playful space where the whole person is welcome—where there is room for vulnerability, strength, stillness, and liveliness.
A space where it’s not about performance or perfection, but about connection and presence.
Workshop 1:
Evening Landing Circle
Arriving at a place like VITAL can stir up many emotions and thoughts, and give you the feeling that you haven’t quite settled in yet.
Welcome to this gentle space for sharing, where Karen Lise will guide you through a peaceful arrival at the festival. Together, we’ll slow down, ground ourselves, and share what’s present in this moment, so you can settle in with greater inner peace and wake up with a stronger sense of being grounded and ready for the journey that lies ahead.
Workshop 2: "
" Mantra Yoga
Inspired by Kundalini yoga, breathing techniques, and the Bhakti yoga tradition, I will offer a two-hour yoga workshop in which the voice—both the individual sound and the collective vibration—takes center stage.
We will use the voice as a tool for release, grounding, and meditation.
We will let sound become movement, and movement become sound.
Please bring your own yoga mat and something to drink.
