Without inner peace, material wealth can seem a little empty. Daily spiritual practice is a way to honour ourselves. Before discovering yoga I would plan a holiday every year, scratching my head deciding what country to visit. These days my dharma calls me back to India. For the last 8 years I have travelled there … Continue reading My dharma

Something good is coming to you!
I count my blessings to be able to spend time by the sea between yoga classes; it's been my sanctuary for the last 8 years. A couple of days ago I was there as usual, but on this occasion I woke up to discover my phone was not in my bag. I had made … Continue reading Something good is coming to you!
The inner guide
Yoga is my energetic shower pouring from the sky every day. The real practice is beyond muscles, bones and joints. It's not physical for me at all, otherwise my mind would be bored already a million times over. The magic is invisible. It's connection to the Source and a taste of abundant joy and love! … Continue reading The inner guide
Park your shoes outside, Honey!
There is a custom in India to leave your shoes outside the house, yoga shala, temple or any sacred space. It feels familiar to me as it's the same thing we do in Latvia (although probably it's more about hygiene there than anything else). I was caught by surprise at the Melukote temple 7 years … Continue reading Park your shoes outside, Honey!
Pray. Meditate. Do yoga.
The movement of planets seems to influence every one of us in specific ways. There are plenty of interesting transitions for me in 2018, with several planets retrograding etc. On top of all that the regular full moon and new moon come and go with an eclipse or two thrown in just to add a … Continue reading Pray. Meditate. Do yoga.
The whole Universe is within us!
I accepted not being flexible as a child, but being the Latvian national fitness champion gave me the illusion I was at least strong. Then I found yoga, or maybe yoga found me! My poor ego was crushed within 5 minutes. I had some muscles but no communication or integration between them. I couldn't do … Continue reading The whole Universe is within us!
There is no tomorrow!
Tomorrow is a dangerous word in any language! It's where our dreams might stay forever as mere fantasy. Procrastination could be powered by fear, laziness, doubt etc., or maybe a combination of influences supporting the illusion that tomorrow, Monday or for sure next week we will do something positive to help us move towards the … Continue reading There is no tomorrow!
The Sun is always shining!
Sometimes we forget that behind grey clouds the sun is always shining. Sooner or later it will shine through, bringing something Better. 10 years ago we were living in a seaside apartment. It felt like paradise to walk 300 steps down to the beach. It was my dream location, but unfortunately I shared this dream … Continue reading The Sun is always shining!
Big Heart small ego
I believe God kisses everybody with gifts when we enter into this world. The thing is, sometimes it may take years or even a couple of decades to figure out our unique gifts. Yoga was never easy for my unfocussed mind and body, but my Heart and Soul have always spoken loudly while I practice, … Continue reading Big Heart small ego
The Joy of growing!
I still remember the early days of my yoga practice when I couldn't reach my toes and I would suffer a lot. Yes, we all have to start somewhere! Eventually I learned to change my attitude from resistance to acceptance and I began to love the pain of 'growing'. The experience of pain is a … Continue reading The Joy of growing!
