About
There are experiences that shape you quietly. While others crack you open completely. Some do both at once — leaving you standing in a world that looks the same but feels entirely different. More vivid. More true. More beautiful. The Dharma Approach exists to hold these experiences. Welcome.
Our Home
What This Place Is
Think of it less as a website and more as a threshold — an online space where meaningful, heart-stirring, sometimes heart-crushing encounters with yourself become possible.
We are not a streaming platform. You won't find a library of classes to scroll through at midnight. What you will find is a curated ecosystem of heart-led offerings: yoga, ceremony, embodiment, women´s circles, retreats, and the kind of teaching that asks something of you.
At its heart, The Dharma Approach is an extension of Krissa Ludvigsen Yoga and her yoga school — a school rooted in Dharma Yoga, and inspired by feminine wisdom. We offer teacher trainings, retreats, and immersive courses for those who want to practice and teach from a place of genuine understanding. We exist for people craving not just technique, but real felt experiences and transformation.
Our Roots
Rooted in Ceremony
Everything here moves through a particular arc and spiral — Presence. Ceremony. Remembrance.
These are not just words we return to — they are the shape of the journey we hope every offering at The Dharma Approach will take you on.
Presence is the beginning. The moment we arrive, with intention, into our bodies, our breath, the room, the moment.
Ceremony is the container. It is what transforms an experience from something mundane into something sacred. Ceremony is not just what happens to you. It´s something you consciously move through. Ceremony doesn't require candles or ritual objects (though we love both). It requires intention. A threshold. A willingness to journey towards a state of being you might not even know existed.
Remembrance is the state we awaken. It´s coming back to a memory, feeling, and deeper recognition of truth that has always existed. The self that exists beneath the noise. The truth that was never lost, only buried and forgotten.
This is why ceremony isn't one offering among many at TDA. It is the lens through which all offerings are held. A yoga class can be ceremony. A women´s circle can be ceremony. A teacher training, a retreat, a collection of deeply human moments — all of it, ceremony.
When we build containers for transformation, we build them this way. And we invite every facilitator and teacher who works alongside us to do the same.
Our Mission
What We're Building
An ecosystem with the principle of “dharma” (heart-centred work) at its core. For yoga students and practitioners, it is becoming a trusted home for going deeper — a place where the practice doesn't stay on the mat but begins to shape how you move through the world. For facilitators, teachers, and guides doing integrity-led work, aligned with our values, it is becoming a gathering point — a community that understands transformation doesn't happen in 60/75/90-minute drop-in classes alone, but in sustained, regular, intentional containers. We are building a village that people want to be part of. We curate experiences that positively move you from the inside out. We create ripples of change everywhere that we go.
For Students & Practitioners
Whether you are brand new to yoga or have been practicing for years, what brings people to The Dharma Approach is usually the same thing — a feeling that there is more. More depth available in the practice. More meaning to be found in the body. More of yourself to come home to.
Here you will find a yoga school with roots — in lineage, in philosophy, in the kind of teaching that doesn't just show you what to do but helps you understand why. From immersive retreats and women's circles to our very own yoga school and teacher training, every offering is designed to take you somewhere real.
You don't need to want to become a teacher to belong here. You just need to be willing to show up, and receive.
For Facilitators & Collaborators
If you facilitate classes, retreats, circles, workshops, or other heart-led experiences… If you have a burning passion (your Dharma calling) that you´d love to share… If you're looking for a “glue”, a red thread, a thing that can tie us all together… The Dharma Approach might be your home too. The Dharma Approach holds a specific frequency, and everything here — every offering, every facilitator, every event — is chosen to honour that.
Our Vision
Little Sparks of Dharma… Everywhere.
We believe that, to be well-equipped in this journey called “Life”, everyone should have a well-stocked and inspiring toolbox. “Use every tool available”, as Sri Dharma Mittra would say. We also believe that when people create offerings from the heart, when they are driven by a clear sense of dharma and purpose, those gifts have the power to positively transform the people they touch. And so, our vision is simple: to map out and create little sparks of dharma — everywhere!
Through our yoga school - we see cohorts of confident, inspired, and purpose-driven teachers who will simultaneously help to preserve this ancient practice, but also take it to new heights, especially here in Norway.
Through our curated experiences - we see The Dharma Approach being a resource for feel-good, heart-led, soul-stirring moments. Moments that help you take a deeper breath. Moments that help you pause, in gratitude. Moments that help the world feel a little more beautiful.
Next Steps
The Invitation
Whether you're here to train as a yoga teacher, join a women's circle, attend a retreat, or explore working with us as a facilitator — welcome. You found this place for a reason.
Presence. Ceremony. Remembrance.
You arrive. You transform. You return.
This is the journey. It begins here.
And if these words resonate with you, perhaps it´s because somehow we knew — we´d end up here all along…
We´ve been waiting for you...
Have you got a “thing”?
Something that is incredibly, undeniably, YOU?
If so, we´d love to hear from you! We´re looking for people who know what their Dharma is, and have something to show for it…
