Episode 9: To Gutter: Meditation & Breathwork for Everyday Life

Describing themselves as ‘two normal dudes living in Oslo’, Fredrik Austad and Kasper Kristoffersen are on a mission to take the mystery out of meditation. Through their social channel To Gutter (Two Boys) and their bestselling book, Pust Ut (Breathe Out) the duo teach breathwork and meditation not as mystical practices, but as useful, practical tools that we can all add into our everyday life to allow us to navigate the dynamic world of today and help us to understand our place in it. Susanne understands the power of breathwork, and she uses it alongside meditation and yoga as her way to stay grounded in even the busiest times. In this episode, Susanne learns more about the guys’ approach to these practices and everything in between: from their career paths that got them here, becoming authors and even using the power of dance to overcome anxiety.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to the Take a Moment podcast, a space to block out the noise and let inspiration flow.Our host, Susanne Holzweiler, is also one of the founders of our company. She’s been there since the early days when Holzweiler first started operating as a small agency in Oslo, and is now at the heart of operations as we transition into a global lifestyle brand. Take a Moment with Holzweiler is a podcast inspired by Susanne’s experience of juggling life with a rapidly expanding business. Back in 2016 Susanne was operating as Holzweiler’s CEO: ‘I had been working so much and so hard, after having the business for 10 years. I had also gotten 2 small kids during that period, and it was just everything at the same time. I was working day and night - every spare second I was spending working.’Susanne developed a bad case of burnout, and the remedy for this was quite literally to take a moment. Susanne shifted her lifestyle to allow for a space for wellness, meditation and rest, and to learn new information from books, podcasts and her peers.Inspired by this, Take a moment with Holzweiler is our new podcast where we delve deep into the stories of the people who inspire us. There’s so much to learn if we take the time to listen to other people’s experiences, and this is what this podcast creates a space to do.As our Holzweiler family continues to grow, we get to know the stories of an ever expanding range of people, from royalty to leaders in the modern wellness movement. Holzweiler sits at the intersection of life and style, therefore we often take our inspiration from the real people living life with the values that align with our own.In the rush of the working week when everyone is dashing from meeting to meeting it’s hard to find the time to let creativity flow. So, we invite you to take a moment and join us for this podcast and see where inspiration from these stories can lead you to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
