🇺🇸 A few nights ago, I came across a video titled “Life is not a journey”, by the late British philosopher Alan Watts, in which he explains how life is not about going from point A to point B, but more like a dance: playful, fresh and without a clear purpose.

What?? 🙃

Well. Continue reading on link in BIO 🍀❤️

🇪🇸 La otra noche, encontré un vídeo del filósofo británico Alan Watts titulado Life is not a journey. En él, habla de cómo la vida, más que un viaje, es un baile: espontánea, fresca y sin un propósito claro.

¿¿Cómo?? 🙃

🇬🇧 The false perception that we are separate beings who stand apart and have little in common with one another is at the root of our pain.

When we fixate on our needs and wants, we are building walls and cannot connect. But we can tear down those walls.

Good to have in mind when violence and hatred threaten love, unity, and respect.

🇪🇸 La falsa percepción de que somos entes separados del resto con apenas nada en común entre nosotros origina casi todo nuestro sufrimiento.

Cuando nos obcecamos en nuestros deseos y necesidades, construimos muros que nos impiden conectar.

Pero los muros se pueden derribar :) A tener en cuenta cuando el odio y la violencia ponen en pelgro el amor, el cariño y el respeto. Artículo en link en BIO (en inglés).

Work & passion go a long way. There is no need to be the best, just be you

La pasión y el trabajo nos catapultan. No hay necesidad de ser el mejor, simplemente sé tu.

“There is often someone running away from a beautiful love connection, but it is seldom the brave one. The brave one is usually the one left behind. It seems counter-intuitive to romantics and to those who feel ready to partner up when someone walks away. But some people can only handle a half-love because a whole love shines a light on their dark places. Real intimacy requires real presence. If someone isn’t ready to be truly here on an individual level, they will find it very difficult to manage all the triggers that come up in connection.
Only a small few can hold the gate open when profound love enters. A blessed and courageous few.”

It seems that lockdown is bringing about substantial change, as it has forced us to review the pillars that sustain our lives 🧐
Some of the students that I have seen this past week explain how confinement is leading them to review their values and beliefs. Then, the hard work of what we do with what we see comes next.

In today's story, we discuss how yoga is a subjective experience, shaped by the circumstances, capacities, and reality of the practitioner, and how teaching yoga stems from this personal experience, that is passed on to the student.
Thus, a long term connection with a teacher is beneficial, because it is in the long run how the teaching can prove itself pertinent and can be refined in the regular, careful, and honest exchange between teacher and student.
Any thoughts, let me know :)

🍀May will be a month of transition that will see us going back to the school! Our new class schedule is ready too. If you wish to practice with us, reach out, and we will send you for more information :)

En la historia de hoy, hablamos de cómo el yoga es una experiencia subjetiva, dependiente de las circunstancias, capacidades y realidad del practicante, y cómo la enseñanza del yoga surge de la propia experiencia subjetiva del profesor, que comparte con el estudiante.
Es por esto por lo que establecer una relación con un profesor es beneficioso, ya que es en el largo plazo cuando las enseñanzas recibidas pueden demostrar su pertinencia. Una relación duradera también da pie a un intercambio cuidadoso, honesto y real entre las partes, para que continúen comprendiéndose y evolucionando juntas :)

Mayo será un mes de transición que verá la reapertura de la escuela! Los nuevos horarios ya están listos. Si quieres estudiar con nosotros, escríbenos y te informamos 🍀
