Hi, I’m Victoria Åkerström.

This is about me & my approach:

Yoga grew into me as much as I grew into yoga — over more than two decades of practice, study, and deep listening to the body's wisdom.

I have been teaching yoga since 2008, first in London, then in Gothenburg, and for the past several years in Skåne, Sweden. What began as a personal practice became a calling: to help women reconnect with their bodies, their cycles, and their innate capacity for healing.

In 2016, I turned my focus fully toward training other teachers — weaving together yin yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, qi cultivation, nervous system regulation, and women's health into a methodology that is as scientifically grounded as it is deeply intuitive.

Today, I am the founder of Yinportalen — the only yoga education platform in Sweden that integrates Hormone Yin Yoga, TCM, and qi cultivation into a single, women-centered approach.

A Depth of Training

I hold multiple 200-hour and 300-hour advanced teacher trainings, alongside a rich collection of specialized certifications from some of the world's most respected teachers, including:

  • Sarah Powers — Yin Yoga, Five Elements & Meditation

  • Rod Stryker — Meditation, Yoga Nidra & Tantra

  • Tias Little — Hatha Yoga & Energy Work

  • Michael Stone — Meditation & Ashtanga Yoga

  • Jo Phee — Yin Yoga

With over 26 years of practice and more than 15 years of teaching experience, I bring both breadth and depth to my work.

How I Teach:

I am known for my pedagogical clarity, intuitive presence, and ability to create safe, transformative spaces where women feel truly seen.

I teach from the belief that your body is not a problem to be solved — it is a living source of wisdom. My approach is warm, grounded, and non-clinical, meeting each woman exactly where she is, whether she is navigating the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, menopause, or simply the weight of everyday stress.

My programs are built for real life: accessible, deeply researched, and immediately applicable — whether you are a yoga teacher expanding your expertise or a woman seeking to understand and support your own health.

An Invitation

If you are ready to stop pushing through and start working with your body — you are in the right place.
