I always remember myself being very hungry for life. I never wanted to waste a minute of this precious gift. I was always the last one to fall asleep and the first to wake up. The energy of happiness and excitement for the coming day always pulled me out of bed with eyes full of … Continue reading Hungry for life!

Autumn outside, spring inside!
We all have varying degrees of 50 or more types of pleasure in this world. Some of these pleasures last seconds, some days and some feel like the deepest sense of constant joyful inner peace. The satisfaction of momentary pleasures like a favourite cake or a glass of wine tend to fade as we allow … Continue reading Autumn outside, spring inside!
Live with open eyes and gratitude!
Yoga teaches us to be true to ourselves: to stay present when we would rather escape, to breathe deeply when we are in discomfort and to have an open heart that gives and receives love. We can slowly introduce healthier daily habits for our physical body while reducing self-destructive habits. When we change the body, … Continue reading Live with open eyes and gratitude!
Listen to your body!
Listen to your body. I believe you first need to know your body to genuinely hear it.Your body can crave something sweet maybe not because it's a real biochemical need, but maybe because you are missing a certain type of protein, or maybe there is an emotional lack of sensing the sweetness of life within … Continue reading Listen to your body!
Yoga is a workout for the mind!
It felt like I was reborn through yoga about 10 years ago. I fell in love with yoga initially because of its in depth knowledge of the Divine. Recently an anatomy article by Ksenia Shatskaya woke me up to some biochemical reasons as to why I am so hooked on yoga. Apparently it's all about … Continue reading Yoga is a workout for the mind!
You are a believer! Believe in yourself!
It doesn't matter where we are; it really doesn't! What matters is our intention regarding who we want to be. What makes us open our wings and kiss the sky? It's even ok if we dont know that yet; yes seriously its ok! It matters what kind of seeds we are planting for the future … Continue reading You are a believer! Believe in yourself!

As layers of resistance peel away, I feel like a snake shedding its skin over and over again. I remind myself to focus on the process of yoga practice … Continue reading
Glorious mornings!
There is nothing more magnificent than the feeling of inner peace with a heart full of love. That's the feeling which yoga practice can awaken. For me, completely different feelings are triggered when the alarm goes off at 4.30 am! But the anticipation of connecting to inner peace makes me jump out of bed with … Continue reading Glorious mornings!
Authentic priorities!
Year after year I see the same pattern emerge in new yoga students. Initially there is very obvious enthusiasm and curiosity which is soon damped down with the realisation that this yoga thing requires dedication, commitment and patience. They then disappear for weeks or longer. Some Souls recognise what a powerful transformation tool it is … Continue reading Authentic priorities!
We are creatures of habit. Apparently a surprising amount of daily life is dominated by robotic unconscious habits. Without sufficient awareness and conscious intervention these patterns tend to be reinforced over and over again. Repeating negatively established belief patterns and habits from childhood may attract relationships or other situations in life which perpetuate a negative … Continue reading
