βI started my Instagram for my friends to share my life abroad and since then yoga has become a bigger and bigger part of my life so it just felt natural to also share my yoga journey,β said Malin.

βI want to inspire people to believe that anything is possible and to dare them to get out of their comfort zone.
βIf you want to work as a pilot, do it. If you love yoga, start.

βI believe that the human body is made for movement, we are all shaped differently and with so much potential, through my yoga poses I want to show what our bodies are capable of.
βI love the connection between the body and mind.
βMany of us have a very busy life packed with schedules and checklists and yoga helps us to stop and reflect.

βWe learn to listen, feel, breath and to be thankful and kind. Most importantly, we learn to accept and love ourselves.β
Malin has visited more than 37 countries on her travels but says that most of her pictures were taken in Croatia and she is currently learning the language. Surprisingly, Malin has only attended one yoga class in Washington D.C where she learnt the basics and has since taught herself the more advanced moves.

She explains that the best thing about yoga is that she can practice it anywhere but prefers to practice outside weather permitting.
βI combine the beautiful places I go to on my travels with my way of expressing myself through yoga and all of the positive feedback I received encouraged me to continue,β added Malin.
βOne of my biggest dreams right now is to one day open a yoga resort.β
