Unfold Your Mat is a boutique yoga studio in Gothenburg, founded by Lavinia Parcalab in 2015. Located near Skatås in the Kålltorp area on the East Side of Gothenburg, the studio serves as a hub for both local Swedish and international yoga communities. Every week, practitioners from around the globe come together under one roof at our studio or join via Zoom to practice yoga together. Lavinia teaches from an authentic perspective, offering yoga rooted in tradition, mindfulness, breath awareness, attention to details, and enriched with ongoing playfulness and exploration. She views postures and breathing techniques as tools to reach deeper into our minds and hearts, helping us connect with ourselves, alleviate stress and anxiety, engage in introspection, and foster meaningful personal growth.

![Boxes and labels 🔲🔲🏷️
In a world of short attention span and voluntarily putting ourselves into boxes and labels, yoga is my reminder that true value and freedom is found in deep focus, good habits and discipline. They never go out of fashion regardless of the trends. They are internal values earned 🔥
Working with oneself is a lifelong process. It's not like I've done it today or this year and now I'm done. No, it doesn't work like that.
Magic happens in routine and repetition.
Because trends come and go, but the things that bring value to our life they stay the same despite the times💗
The practice is not meant to be easy. It was never actually intended to be easy. It's meant to be meaningful. It's meant to shock you, to create a reaction, to create meaningful change. It's meant to break the walls and the boxes so that we can expand and see the things we don't see. It's meant to make us grow ❣️🔥
The beautiful thing is that it works in practice not words. It works in doing not listening someone else's experience, in believing in ourselves and commiting to our growth process. That's beautiful, so beautiful ❤️ Doing, not talking about doing.
But we live in a world where we stopped experiencing discomfort and want instant solutions to our problems. We like comfort like 24/7. So we have to voluntarily seek discomfort nowadays to grow and expand ourselves.
The practice is not meant to stretch your body. Those are tools to take you closer to yourself.
So you can feel, let go, meet yourself on deeper layers 💓
Connection happens when you spread your intelligence outside of the head into the body ❤️
In silence we find answers ❣️ 👁️🙏
The funny thing is that we chase external results, but those results also come as a consequence only when we shift our mindset 🔥](https://www.unfoldyourmat.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/448393090_802422341995085_1929819634114874986_n.jpg)
