Travelling and you notice that your practice changes? No need to stress about it or get frustrated – sometimes less is more.
I am super happy sharing my tipps with you on how to adapt your practice during travels.

What are your experiences? Let me know 🌞

Summer is here and maybe you noticed it too, that your practice has changed through travelling, social activities, different child care during the holidays etc.

Here are my five tipps to adapt your practice

🌞Embrace “Less Is More”

Summer is full: travel, family time, social events, childcare. It’s natural that your energy (and schedule) changes. Instead of pushing for long, intense practices, allow yourself shorter, softer sessions. Doing less doesn’t mean you’re “falling behind” – it means you’re listening to your life and your body.

🌞 Short, Consistent Practices Over Long Ones

Swap the idea of a 60–90 minute class for 10–20 minutes on the mat. A few sun breaths, gentle stretches, or a short seated practice can be enough. Consistency keeps you connected, even if the practice is small. Think: “a little bit, often” instead of “a lot, rarely.”

🌞 Cool and Grounding Instead of Fiery

Summer already brings heat, so your yoga can balance that. Choose:

🌞Gentle flows instead of power classes

Forward folds, hip openers, and twists
Cooling breaths (like Sitali or just slow nasal breathing)
Let your practice feel like shade on a hot day, not another heatwave.

🌞 Let Life Become Your Practice

Your yoga doesn’t only happen on the mat. It’s also:

Breathing deeply while travelling
A mindful walk on the beach or in the park
Being fully present with your kids, partner, or friends
Stretching gently after a long drive or flight
When time is tight, let your practice weave into daily life instead of being one more “task.”

🌞 Release the Guilt and Adjust Your Expectations

Your practice is meant to support you, not stress you. It’s perfectly ok if, in this season, your yoga looks like:

5 minutes of breath before bed
A few stretches in the morning
A restorative pose while the kids nap
Trust that your practice can ebb and flow. It’s ok doing less.

Summer is a season to live, explore, connect – and your yoga can gently hold you through it, without pressure or perfection. 🌿

July – what a month 🌻

Celebrating summer and new beginnings.
Celebrating harvesting our own fruits from the garden.
Celebrating having beautiful people around me who truly care.
Celebrating learning and growing everyday.
Celebrating lots of nature time and escaping the city.
Celebrating my daughter, who is making me laugh everyday.
Celebrating life and I am so grateful for all the abundance around me.

Sending love 🫶

When I think back to my first years of teaching, I remember how much energy I spent worrying and being anxious before each class.

Was my class creative enough?
Was I saying the right things?
Would people come back next week?
Was there even space for another yoga teacher like me?

Looking back, I wish someone had reminded me that these thoughts are simply part of the journey—not the truth.

In this post I am sharing a few of the mindset patterns I see come up again and again with new teachers, that I accompanied in the last years. And honestly? They’re not just for new teachers. Many of us revisit them throughout our teaching path—again and again.

The shift happens when we stop trying to prove ourselves and start trusting what we already carry within us.

Teaching isn’t about having the most original flow, the biggest classes, or knowing all the answers.

It’s about creating space.
Holding presence.
Sharing your practice with sincerity and authenticity.

There is something only you can offer, simply because no one else has lived your experiences or embodies the practice in quite the same way.

This is exactly the kind of inner work we’ll explore together in our 50-hour Embodied & Aligned Teacher Training from 07 – 11 October w/ Susann | Nervous System Coach & Copywriting .havelland

Alongside practical teaching skills, we’ll make space for honest conversations, self-inquiry, and finding your own authentic voice as a teacher.

If this speaks to something you’ve been feeling, we’d love to welcome you.

I’m curious—which of these mindset stories has shown up most often for you?
