The Inner Journey Yoga and Ayurvedic Brunch in the Heart of Oslo

I came in a bit stressed and scattered, and left soft and steady. Monika’s presence is the kind that makes you trust your own nervous system again. The yoga + brunch combination is such a good idea, body first, then nourishment :)))

Really wonderful experience and Monika was excellent, calm, attentive, and skilled. Only practical tip: bring your own towel if you’ll want one (it’s not included). Otherwise, I’d absolutely recommend it. food was great and shower after session even better :))

This experience is basically “Oslo life, but make it gentle.” The atmosphere was calm, the room was warm, there was that nice incense scent, and Monika led the class with such steady attention that my brain finally stopped running 37 tabs at once. The plot twist: I came in thinking I’d be super flexible and impressive (in my head), and five minutes in I realized I’m actually a normal human being with tight hips and a lot of thoughts. Thankfully, Monika’s style is perfect for that, supportive, grounded, and zero pressure. And then the brunch… honestly, it felt like the universe saying “good job” in food form. I left relaxed, happy, and slightly annoyed that I can’t book this every week.

It was exactly what I needed in Oslo. If you’re traveling or living busy city life, this is a perfect reset: calm atmosphere, warm room, attentive teacher, and really good brunch. Monika was excellent and I booked another session with her afterwards

I booked this because I wanted something restorative in Oslo, and it delivered completely. The studio was easy to find, the group was small, and Martin led the session with a calm confidence that makes you relax fast. The practice felt gentle and grounding, more about releasing tension than “doing yoga right.” Then the Ayurvedic-inspired brunch was such a thoughtful finish: simple, nourishing, and honestly delicious. I left feeling balanced and clear, like I’d done a mini-retreat in the middle of the city.

I walked in carrying the week in my shoulders (and probably in my face), and within minutes the warm room + gentle incense smell had me thinking, “Oh… so this is what calm feels like.” Monika is incredibly attentive—she guides in a way that makes you feel safe and supported, not pushed or judged. Here’s the funny part: I arrived with big plans of being “disciplined and present,” but my nervous system basically said, “Nope, we’re resting today.” And honestly, Monika made that feel like a success, not a failure. Then the brunch happened—delicious, nourishing, and exactly what you want after a grounding practice. I left feeling like a softer version of myself. Highly recommend if you want a real reset.
