I am aware that my classes are intense, so once in a while the question pops up about whether it's OK to feel muscle pain after a class? Well, it might just be an adaptation pain from years of physical and emotional holding which needs some time to digest and/or compromised biochemistry. Personally I rarely … Continue reading After the darkness of night the sun always rises.

Choose yourself!
Life is full of possibilities and choices. We are constantly and carefully choosing things like cars, houses, clothes. We ask ourselves what will make us happy and then in theory we allow ourselves to have whatever that is, although sometimes, for different reasons we deny ourselves. We are constantly creating our own reality. These days … Continue reading Choose yourself!
Dream till your dreams become your life!
Dream till your dreams become your life. I feel a quantum leap, a shift in energy and an openness to the Universe with gratitude. I am exhaling the old programs and downloading new files into my brain. I know what I want and I know who I am.

Colourful day
For me a colourful day always starts with a purposeful connection with Source. I believe there is no right or wrong way to do it. It is the way of the heart. The beauty of each glorious morning makes it easy to connect with the Divine Source of Love and Light. It reminds me of … Continue reading Colourful day
Energy-how do we find it?
Energy - how do we find it? Does a fish wonder how to find water while swimming in an ocean? The thing is we are energy.

Our loved ones might make us feel upset and then we can't stop eating comfort food or enjoying that extra glass of wine. A good way to break the robotic programs is … Continue reading Cognitive flexibility
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!
Talking body
The body tells the ongoing story of our life. We must pay attention and listen. For example, in a stressful or dangerous situation, flexor muscles tend to be activated in order to prepare for survival. Ideally this reaction should disappear when the danger is gone, but often the mind keeps us tuned into anticipating the … Continue reading Talking 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!
The exit is where the entrance is.
If you love to dive deep like me, you probably enjoy reading 1000s of books on self-development, all of them reminding us about the importance of gratitude. I knew this as a teenager, along with the importance of daily flossing. Of course knowledge is one thing and action is another! In this deep time of … Continue reading The exit is where the entrance is.
