Yohanna Mannelqvist is a former fashion executive that after a non-stop lifestyle and constant pursuit of achievement pushed her to burnout and the development of an eating disorder she decided to take a step back, leave her career in fashion tech and embark on a journey of self-discovery across the globe. Today, after years of yoga and meditation practice, she is a yoga teacher and a women's wellness coach that seeks to share her healing process, personal growth and newfound views of calm, and self-care while still achieving personal success to those who are willing to take the challenge and change their everyday.

"I recently returned to Sweden after ten years of living abroad as I could see other women longing for healthier and happier lifestyles in the city. I believe that work and wellness can co-exist with daily practices and supportive tools to manage the challenges we face as female professionals. I take a holistic, 360-degree approach to wellbeing and align the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being. I believe that optimal health is not about the food on your plate but rather how you nourish yourself through your relationships, career, environment, movement and more." she says.

For Vogue Scandinavia Movements' first episode, she shares a five minute 'Let Go' meditation, that while being short is powerful and can be easily done anytime in the day. It will help you relax the body, calm the mind and soften intense emotions. This meditation helps you let go of things, people and circumstances causing stress and tension in your life. You don’t need any experience of meditation before. Simply sit down, close your eyes and let yourself be guided.
