A few words

About Emilie

Hey there, I'm Emilie Hallgard, yoga teacher, handstand coach and certified menopaus coach from south of Sweden. I run my own app Yoga Flow Queen, where I help women over 40 feel strong, confident, and energized through yoga, mindfulness, and strength training. My mission is to make movement fun, accessible, and transformative—because you deserve to feel amazing at every age!

Never a gymnast, nor a dancer

Everything that I can do today today in my yoga practice, I’ve learned at home in my living room. I go to yoga studios for the community, but I get the results from my at-home practice.

Short, dynamic flows that fit into my busy life with two daugthers, a house and a demanding online yoga business!

A few words about why I turned my passion turned into a business...

I’d been working out for most of my life, but when I fell in love with Vinyasa Flow it was like finding the spring of youth!
I felt this was something I could do every day, that would make my body so strong, so durable, flexible and it didn’t just come with a physical experience – my confidence grew, I felt so fabulous in my own skin!

Eventually it just felt like an obligation to share this with others, and though I try – it’s really hard to explain in words what this practice does.

It just needs to be experienced, and you have to commit and give it some time – because as all good things – it takes patience and determination.

But when you get there – it’s just amazingly rewarding!

I hope you decide to give it a go!

My Yoga Story

1999

The Beginning

In 1999 I read in Swedish Elle about Madonna turning 40 and doing yoga every day.

I was stunned over how amazing she looked, and with her lovely appearance in my mind I went to buy a yoga video on VHS.

It was my first encounter with yoga. I learned the basics in the comfort of my own home, from a man and a woman doing what I now think was some sort of Hatha yoga.

Body Balance

From that first video, yoga was present in my life, but not on regular basis.

I was working out a lot; aerobics, step, pilates, Body Pump, running – and in 2004 r so, I started doing Body Balance.

Eventualy I became a Body Balance teacher and taught for a couple of years before we moved and my two daughters came into my life and turned things upside down as kids do.

So, so tired

When I had two small children it seemed like there was rarely or ever time for me. I was constantly tired and feeling that I was never enough. 

Every evening I crashed on the couch after the kids were put to bed which didn’t make me feel great in any way. 

Not only did I become less toned, I was also beating myself up for being lazy and it all became a bad circle of negative energy. 

I dreamed of finding a strong, fun workout that not only made me fit, but also worked with my mind, a magical thing that made me FEEL AMAZING inside and out!

Vinyasa Flow

But sometime in late 2015 I was trying to pull myself together and browsing workout inspiration on Pinterest. There I found a photo of KinoMcGregor doing a handstand scorpion and I was completely blown away. I instantly knew I also wanted to do this, but I couldn’t even hold a handstand properly for 2 seconds, let alone put my feet on my head. 

This was the start of my “modern” yoga journey. Me and my husband did a 30 day yoga challenge with Erin Motz and I liked her so much I started a subsription on DoYouYoga where she was teaching. There I found Briohny Smythe and kind of fell in love with her teaching and her yoga. So I moved over to CodyApp which became AloMoves and a new world opened up.

Yoga Teacher

So I decided to become a yoga teacher. The thought had been growing for a long time, but when I found the perfect education at True North Vinyasa I was all in. I had the intention from the start to be an online yoga teacher, but as I understood the importance of teaching real people and seeing their reactions and getting their feedback I started a local studio in the small town where I live. And that’s where I am now. With a constantly growing community, both in real life and online. With new online offers, with an intention of being present with my students whether they are next door or on the other side of the world.

Yoga is so much more than just a workout, it’s connection to yourself, to the universe and to a beautiful community.

Just caring to share

It doesn’t come easy, but it’s tremendously rewarding. Every day I’m fascinated and so happy for having yoga in my life. It has changed my life in so many ways. Not only am I stronger and more fit than ever before in my life, I’m more spiritual, more connected to myself. I meditate 30 minutes every day, practice gratitude and don’t eat meat. 

My toes are not yet on my head, but that’s what I love about the practice – it never ends! There is always more to discover, more challenges to take on, physical and mental. 

My mission now is to help as many women as I can to invite Vinyasa Flow into their lives, and help them experience the magical change.
