Who am I ?
My name is Mette Harr Støre. I was born in Oslo // Norway, November 1988.
I got my first child in 2015 and I suddenly experienced life through a new lens. A strong remembrance of myself as a child pondering the big question “Who am I?” slowly awoke. I would say my spiritual journey started. Feeling the heartbeat of this freshly baked newborn baby took me on a deep journey inside myself, meeting both fears and moments of total completeness.
Soon after I rediscovered a forgotten childhood passion - to sing from the heart, whithout shame and doubt, just out of love. Without pressure to perform the healing effects were great, I could not stop. Dawning in me was the feeling that my mind, body and emotional being was very much ONE whole being.
That was a huge shift in my experience as a human being!
They say “the teacher will appear when the student is ready” and this could not be more true to me. In 2018 I met my yoga teacher, Sky Akasha. Trusting my inner voice, I jumped on the Sama Yoga Teacher Training. When initiated into the teachings of Yoga & Vedanta, with tears in mye eyes, I came back to this feeling of what it means to be home in my own being, and I decided to follow this path deeper. From here it has been a journey of seeing life as a blessing, a journey of gratitude, a journey of welcoming everything that comes and goes my way.
Im inspired and devoted to offer practices from this place of curiosity, wonder and magnificence of individuals I meet on my way. Im blending science and knowledge from western traditions with holistic approaches from eastern traditions. Leading by example by living my dharma as a Mother of two sacred beings, Leo & Albert. Walking this path of life side by side with my beloved Magnus, we are exploring how the relationship can be both a platform for growth as well as a source of deep unconditioned love.
I am LOVE in my essence, that’s the only constant. Im also a mother, a wife, a guide, a student, a daughter, a sister, a friend … but these are all roles. They will never rock the constant. “Actions can fail, but a person never fails”- words by my dear teacher Sharada Devi. The teachings of Vedanta has helped me closer to understand “Who am I?”, while embodying the practices of yoga, puja, mantras and movement has helped me to feel it.
I am forever grateful.
With Love,
Mette
