BIOGRAPHY
NOORA EHNQVIST
My teacher of life was the that-time-withdrawn horse named Porne who showed me, after opening up, the depth, wisdom and sensitivity of horses. I knew I had found my life path although I didn’t yet know where it would lead me.
I dedicated my life for learning more and forwarding this wisdom Porne had showed me. I moved to Holland with Porne and in the same year I started Klaus Hempfling’s schooling in Denmark.
Klaus’ unique awareness, sensitivity and respect for the soul of horses opened my eyes and heart truly. For years I’ve had the honor to learn from him. What Klaus is and does is a result of huge dedication to the entire authenticity of his life. He doesn’t provide methods.
Klaus can open people’s eyes, help them to feel and show his way to authenticity. The rest is up to people themselves, like my path is on my own responsibility.

“Noora taught me about living from the essence of love, about the power of centeredness, connectedness, about the rhythm of life and so much more. I feel privileged to have met her, and amazed over and over by her in every aspect. These are just my words of a person indescribable. I hope these words at least make you curious. Because my wish to everyone is to just meet and experience her yourself. Thank you Noora for who you are!!!” -J.P. Holland
Who?
Noora gives clinics worldwide and has inspired a lot of people with her way of life; way of being and teaching.
Noora sees life from a broad perspective and sees the open-hearted wisdom, physical and emotional work with horses, body awareness, lightness and everyday life as One, whole.
Noora respects different styles, trends and goals when working with people's horses because truth doesn't have just one form or way, but the core is always grounded, humble in a dignified way and open-hearted.
In the clinics we look for the conscious presence and focus on the unification of co-operation, softness and clarity. We seek a harmonious co-operation with the horse, solve problems, look for any loss of motivation, light the sparkle of life back to the horse’s eyes and strengthen the horse physically by training balance, flexibility, and natural pride.

Fulness
Every moment that we Live; when we feel life around and inside of us and enjoy the moment fully, we are part of the ‘great symphony’. In those moments of timelessness and fulness we can see and feel openly, we see Life. This is nothing mystical but it’s familiar to all of us and embodied constantly by many musicians, maestros, dancers... and horses. Anything we sincerely love to do, and being with animals invite us to the fulness of Now, into feeling the symphony.
Our body is reforming continuously and all our recent sensations are building us anew. Life is not happening in a memory of challenges or memory of good old times. Life is now and every moment is worth of living and loving, listening to your inner wisdom and doing what lits your sparkle and fills you with deep fulfilment.
Roots
"My roots and family are in Finland - the land of wild forest and lakes. I've been living abroad since 2005 and now I'm travelling all the time between 14 countries. It's a rich and also intensive life, and requires inner calmness, healthy spirit and also support. I am happy to live with the ‘Wind of Life’.
My horse lives in France. We've been together since 1998 and we moved together to Holland in 2005. Later we met a horse and human herd that became our soul family, and when they wanted to move to France, we all moved.
I teach in English and in Finnish."
Values
" The path itself counts as much as the goal. For me, the soul and dignity of the horse, and of us, are always most important. Horses are honest, pure and capable to change and to forgive; it's a privilege to learn from them. When teaching I put a big emphasis to openness, honesty and mutual respect. Yet our and horses' inner clarity and strength are to be found in that process!
I see people and horses as soulful individuals with pride, sensitivity and strength; let's learn not to shut down such power but to support and safely empower it."
“We are so blessed to be living in times when there are such enlightened teachers. Noora is the absolute real deal in my book and gives great soul and body guidance for horses and humans. Although I have only spent a few clinics worth of time with Noora her influence lives on in me. She teaches a lot about love, honesty and finding an authentic path that is very fresh, truthful and light.
