I started yoiking publicly in 1976, over 40 years ago.
I have travelled to Japan, France, Finland, Sweden and Norway.
At the beginning It was not very comfortable to step on the stage - it was strange to me who is used to yoik alone in the forest. But it is not like that anymore, now I enjoy being on the stage and I feel more comfortable.
If someone turns music on, I involuntarily begin to yoik.
When I am on my snowmobile or if I am sowing, I yoik. Whenever I am alone I yoik.
A yoik often sparks memories, both happy or sad memories. It embodies a lot of emotion.
When you miss someone - if you yoik that person they will seem so near, and it can turn so emotional you may shed a tear. For example, when children leave home - I could not yoik my daughter’s yoik for decades when she left the nest, until I finally started accepting this is how the life is.
Nowadays I often yoik my granddaughter’s yoik.
I can also yoik someone I know if I didn’t have the time to greet them, that way they will hear that I noticed them.
