Location: Raseborg, Finland
Anna-Kaisa Hirvanen is a graduate of the 6th North American Academy and Presenters Path and is currently participating in The 3 Doors Teacher Training Program. She has been closely connected with The 3 Doors community since 2021 and has also completed The 3 Doors Compassion Project.
Anna-Kaisa has been a Buddhist practitioner for more than twenty years and a student of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and the Bön tradition since 2007. Her path has included retreats, teachings, and in-depth trainings in Europe, as well as at Ligmincha’s Lishu Institute in India, where she spent one and a half years engaged in intensive study and practice of the Bön tradition.
Based in Finland, Anna-Kaisa has served as an authorized Ligmincha Instructor since 2012, with a particular focus on Tibetan Yoga (Tsa Lung Trul Khor). She is one of the founding members of Ligmincha Finland. Since 2008, supporting the Finnish community has been an important part of her connection to the teachings. Her contribution has included serving as a practice guide, teaching open courses, board and organizational work, and supporting the community in many different ways.
Her professional background of more than 25 years as a dance artist, somatic movement educator, and Shindo bodywork instructor has deeply informed the way she shares contemplative practices. Across these different paths, she has continually returned to what is most meaningful to her: creating spaces where people can explore presence, connection, creativity, and the possibilities of genuine transformation.
Anna-Kaisa currently guides a weekly 3 Doors meditation group and offers courses for the Finnish community, as well as international courses in Tibetan Yoga and meditation.
Sharing these practices with others in different communities brings me a deep sense of awe, gratitude, and open-hearted belonging.
