MARIA DJOENNE
I love to create. To be creative. Having studied Window Display Design, Exhibition Design, Fashion Design, Fashion Styling/MakeUp and also being an experienced Yoga Teacher, I no longer try to define myself. Instead I just do what feels interesting, fun and rewarding, right here and right now. Life anyway seems to constantly bring on new projects. Best to prepared, don´t want to miss out on anything, right?
​
Some projects I have previously worked on:
-
Costume design for a variety of short films. Rewarded at The Short Film Festival in Grimstad

Styling for photo: a bunch of commercial shoots, styling for artists and fashion photography

I am more into style, as trends, as we well know, always fades. My personal style is both eclectic, maximalistic, colorful, classy and timeless, sometimes with hints of quirkiness and kitsch.
​
Yoga
Practicing since 2005, and teaching classes, trainings and retreats as my main occupation since 2012. I love teaching and guiding you through slow paced yoga classes, to nourish the physical body, our mind, spirit and soul. The asanas I see as tools that enables us to access our deeper, hidden energetic and emotional layers. Where emotions and dreams are stored.
Yoga is a way of life. A life philosophy as well as a spiritual practice. This will sometimes be discussed during practice. As we practice yoga, our view on life is constantly changing, allowing us to open up to life in a different way from a wider angle.
​
Living in Norway, at least until my son grows up. He is already taller than his dad, so I have started to dream about leaving my home country to go and live somewhere else. In a few years time.
​
My work is my passion, I do try to balance everything, but usually end up doing what others would call work. I call it a lifestyle.
​​​​
If you have any ideas or projects you would like me to lend a hand to,
do get in touch.

With Love
-Maria
