Jørn Nørtoft

I have been dedicated to my own yoga practice since 1999. In 2007 I was educated from the eldest yoga association in Denmark – ‘Dansk Yoga Association’ with a 2 year diploma education. After I finished my education and became a certified yoga-teacher, I founded and opened my own yoga studio in Østerbro, Copenhagen – KBH Yoga. To date, we have 9 employees.
