About Ulla Lundgren

Ulla Lundgren is a certified Anusara Yoga teacher.  Her first experience with yoga was in her native Sweden in the mid-80s. Acting (her former vocation) brought her to Los Angeles in 1988, where she began her continuous yoga asana practice a year later. Ulla began teaching in 1995 after receiving her first yoga teacher certification. That same year, she began studying Ashtanga vinyasa yoga with Tim Miller and David Swenson; for the next 6 years, Ulla continued her studies with Tim and David.

In the fall of 2001, Ulla met John Friend and fell in love with Anusara Yoga.  After more than 800 hours of Anusara Yoga studies including numerous teacher trainings and apprenticing with John Friend and other senior Anusara Yoga instructors, Ulla received her Anusara Yoga certification in the fall of 2005.
 
Currently, Ulla is the Director and owner of the Yoga Experience where she teaches weekly classes. She also teaches workshops, immersions, and teachers trainings in the U.S. and Europe. One of her main sources of inspiration in life and for teaching yoga are her brilliant teachers Anusara Yoga's founder John Friend and Dr. Douglas Brooks. Dr. Brooks is one of the world's foremost scholars of Hindu Tantrism and the esoteric traditions of the Goddess. Ulla integrates yoga philosophy, myths, and stories in to her Anusara Yoga classes. Her teaching style is a blend of fun and adventure balanced with mindful attention to physical alignment as well as alignment with one's heart, inner intensions, and hopes for living a truly meaningful life.

When she is not teaching, studying, or practicing yoga, Ulla enjoys spending time with her husband Jeff, going to the movies, hiking, and hanging out in her garden with her feline family members.
