Your Soul Temple Yoga

💡Your body can stand almost everything, it is your mind that you have to convince 💡

It is hard to feel content when the weight is pulling on you, leaving you out of balance. But what is important - how do you come back to standing, regain and maintain the balance afterwards... ⚖️

What is your plan this summer? 🌻
Here in Playa del Carmen a lot of expats leave for the summer, some due to the very hot weather and hurricaine season, some to see friends or family and some (like me ☺️) to explore other opportunities. I have made a decision to temporary suspend the group classes at the studio, I am not sure about the timelines yet, but definitely for May and June 🙏
I am still doing online classes and maybe I will teach yoga somewhere else, I will keep you all updated and will be excited to share my journey!

🌟Sankalpa or intention 🌟
Having an intention is a powerful way to start the manifestation process. It is like planting a seed that can grow into something magnificent! 🌳
I always set an intention in the beginning of the class or offer students to come up with their own. This also helps to stay focused during the practice and at any time it becomes difficult or if the mind starts to wonder, the sankalpa is there - reminding you of the reason, of your why...💡it is also a great way to take something else away with you to your day, so that the practice does not end on the mat ✨
So next time you do yoga, think of your Sankalpa. Make it short, simple and specific! Remember, our thoughts are powerful, seek exactly what you would like to connect with ❣️

Climb mountains not so everyone can see you, but to see the world yourself!

New meditation video is coming soon! RU👇
It has been almost another half a year for me in Mexico, this country is full of beautiful places that make you want to stay longer. I was able to see many of them, but there are still a myriad more...
I decided to share the beauty, the atmosphere and the energy of some of the places I’ve been to and put them in short meditation videos so that you all have a chance, even if it is just for a few moments, to travel here and witness it for yourself!
Stay tuned 🇲🇽

Вот и прошли очередные полгода в Мексике! Эта страна полна мест, которые завораживают тебя и заставляют остаться на дольше. У меня была возможность посетить множество невероятных мест, и я решила поделиться с Вами их красотой, атмосферой и энергией через небольшие видео по медитации. Я бы очень хотела, чтобы Вы тоже, хотя бы на мгновение, могли бы оказаться и побывать в этих местах!
Уже очень скоро! 🇲🇽

The website is now live! 🤩
The last couple of weeks I have been working on creating this website and even though it is not fully finished, I decided to publish it anyway. Knowing myself and fighting the sense of perfectionism I could have probably waited another year 😅 also, building it myself without any previous knowledge added another load of self-doubts 😀 but hey, isn’t that the real yoga..? Recognising where you are right now, acknowledging your thoughts and being okey with not knowing 🌟
Feel free to visit https://yoursoultemple.com/ and let me know your thoughts!

Focus - Drishti - Gaze
How often during the yoga class do you find yourself checking out someone else’s outfit or comparing how their posture looks to yours or what is going outside the window..? If this somewhat resonates with you, you might find it helpful during the practice to use a technique called drishti. This is a method of gazing and focusing your eyes and attention on a part of the body or particular direction. Drishti helps to develop balance, deeper level of concentration and a better awareness about oneself, hence achieving a peaceful meditative state and a different version of your practice. 💫
So next time your teacher is telling you to look at a particular point while in the posture, try to follow it and draw your energy inwards, to what is going on inside you not on the outside. In the end of the day ‘where our eyes are directed, our attention follows’... 🖼
