Do you know that feeling when suddenly your body wants to do something it hasn’t done for a long time?
That was this🦩humble flamingo 🦩 for me yesterday. Maybe it’s a sign to implement this asana into my practice more often 🙃
What is your last asana surprise? 🌱

🌱 We often tend to push ourselves even if our body tells us to slow down. Yet we don’t need to do seemingly big and impressive things in order to feel like we’ve done something worthwhile. The amount of attention we bring to anything we do, regardless how big or small we assume it to be, is what determines its quality.
If you necessarily must do something despite the body’s signs, first and foremost pay attention. The more focus you can bring to anything you do, the deeper the quality of your present moment.
I am at home with covid at the moment. And as many of you already know, one must be really careful when taking back in any kind of physical activity after this illness.
So this is me, grabbing the mat with my hands and just feeling into the movement of my wrists. Feeling the points of contact, the changes in weight distribution on the palm when moving around slightly. Might seem like a little, but feels enough. With full focus, this is enough. So interesting. In fact, investigating change within the boundaries of the body is one of the most important things to learn for every yoga practitioner. Every situation is an opportunity for observation 🌱

💚 So grateful for having the chance to spend my birthday last weekend with the cutie 🤗 visiting our friends Mavi & Benny at the farm. 🌱
Couldn’t wish for more than waking up with the birds 🐦, practicing with the sun☀️, meditating with the cows 🐮, putting my hands into the soil 🌿and eating the most delicious, fresh, organic vegetables 🥬 coming straight out of the ground we walk on, with the people I love. 🍓
Being there was like being in a paradise for one day. Thank you for having us, , and also thank you for making our backpacks full with herbs and salads for the week ^^. 🤩
If some of you are looking for a source of super fresh, local, organic food, see 👉🏽 . You can get a weekly dose of health to your doorstep (in case you live in Berlin) :). 😋
Benny & Mavi are kind, hardworking, warmhearted beings, passionate about mother nature 🌍 and living in harmony with her rules.
Their project has my full support 💚. We’ll be back to make our hands dirty again soon! 😊

🌈 The light of the rainbow has been there all along. It’s the way we observe it that suddenly allows us to see the magnificence of its facets.
The stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, others, and the world are such prisms. Just like water, they shape the world and our existence in it.
🌱 What world do you create for yourself?

Raga - attachment. One of the kleshas - the veils on the true knowledge, the hindrances on the path of yoga.
Attachment can have many forms. We can be attached to people, to things, but also to thoughts, ideas, outcomes of actions. We are attached to who we think we are, to how we think we should be treated, to how we think others should behave. We have expectations.
Attachment is the cause of suffering, because every single time any of our expectations isn’t met, we don’t like it. We complain, we suffer. On the mat we learn to accept and adapt, let go of attachment to outcomes or to ideas about ourselves and others 💚

🙋🏻♀️ Can you relate? 😅
It's actually my partner who initially inspired me to start with cold showers 🙏. And even though I have to overcome a cold water shock every single morning 😁, this has been a part of my morning routine for more than a year now and I cannot imagine not taking a cold shower any more!
It feels SOOOO GOOOOD 🤩
Do you struggle with cold water?
✨
You'll be happy to know there is a trick to mastering the cold shower🚿, DM me if you want to know 🙃 💚

🌳 Every time I go to the forest I feel that I'm literally coming back to my roots, to where I came from. 🌳
💚 And I'm lucky to enjoy the best company I could imagine 💛
