Simple Scandinavian Habits To Live A Happy & Healthy Life

Welcome to this course ! My name is Morgane, I’m a French Yoga Teacher and I’ve been living in Sweden for 8 years now. This experience has been giving me some insight into the scandinavian way of life, especially as a foreigner, and I’ve discovered a different way to live that made me a calmer and healthier person. I’d like to share this simple scandinavian way of life today with you in 5 different lessons. Each lesson is short, straight to the point, coming with practical tips that will help you apply this way of life straight away. So let’s start !

Morgane Joncour is a yoga and meditation teacher from France. She graduated in Philosophy and obtained a Master Degree in History of Philosophy from Sorbonne, Paris. Her passion is to make philosophy as well as yoga practical and accessible to anyone. She believes philosophy shouldn't stay in books, it should be lived and shared. For that reason, it goes perfectly together with a yoga and meditation practice.

Lesson 1

The Scandinavian Mindset : "Lagom" & "Jantelagen"

In this lesson we will explore the key concepts of Lagom (« enough » or « just right » in Swedish) as well as Jantelagen (the law of Jante : an implicit law valuing equality and humility). These concepts are promoting the idea that it’s enough to be yourself - which helps us find balance in humility, community, lack of pressure or comparison with others.

Lesson 2

Let Your Home Be The Sanctuary Of Your Peace : "Mysigt"

In this lesson we will explore the concept of « mysigt ». Mysigt is a Swedish word and concept that can be translated into "comfort", "coziness" and spending meaningful time together in a cozy environment. Mysigt is promoting wellness by encouraging balance, mindfulness and a sense of belonging.

Lesson 3

Finding Happiness In The Small Things : "Hygge"

This lesson will explore the Danish concept of Hygge : quite similar to the idea of « mysigt » that we previously focused on - but hygge is more about finding meaning in social connection. Shared simple pleasures and the feeling of togetherness are important for living a healthy life.

Lesson 4

Spending Time In Nature : "Friluftsliv" & "Allemansrätten"

In this lesson we will focus on the concepts of friluftsliv (outdoor living) and allemansrätten (freedom to roam) as they both promote spending time in nature as an important part of life. Spending time in the outdoors reduces stress, supports well-being as well as a sense of connection with the earth.

Lesson 5

Take Care Of Your Body : Enjoy A Hot Sauna, Visit The Gym & Eat Healthy

Scandinavians are famous for being healthy and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Not only do they enjoy visiting the gym several times a week, they take time to walk, or bike instead of taking the car. They also enjoy the benefits of sauna as well as eating healthy.

Thank you for your insights into Scandinavian culture. I’m the guy listening to your Yoga Nidra in French to practice listening to French. I’m also Scandinavian on my mother’s side. If you ever see my picture on your live sessions, that’s me smiling. I also spend a lot of time outside. Walking my dog, running and cycling, Mostly mountain biking, rather than road cycling. I think you are dead on with your assessment that outside activities reduce your cortisol. Been reading about the benefits of outdoor exercise, cycling, and all the positive effects of the Bath de Forêt. (I think that’s right). Living next to a state forest and park doesn’t hurt either! The benefits of the trees and the microbes they emit is amazing. And sunshine. Can’t get that in the gym. I have to run on a treadmill myself right now, because of heavy snow and cold. I think Scandinavians have it right. Thanks for that.
