🧘♀️ The Body Keeps the Score 🧘♂️
Trauma kan zich vastzetten in het lichaam en stressklachten verergeren. De beoefening van yoga kan helpen om spanning los te laten en weer meer tot jezelf te komen.
Hoe onverwerkte trauma's en stress je ziek kunnen maken Onverwerkte trauma’s doordringen ons diepste wezen en kunnen veel lichamelijke schade veroorzaken. Lees hoe, mét oplossingen.

What a wholesome day, thank you for being part of the Yoga Festival Suriname. Special thanks to the organization for making this event possible ✨🪷
Tijdens de Vinyasa sessie stonden de rug en de heupen centraal. Belangrijke gebieden om aandacht aan te besteden in ons veelal sedentaire levensstijl. De sessie was gericht op het bevorderen van flexibiliteit en kracht, het verlichten van spanning en op het vergroten van de algehele mobiliteit. Tegelijkertijd was er aandacht voor de ujjayi-adem en het tweede chakra die in verbinding staan met deze gebieden.
Het tweede chakra, ook wel het sacraal chakra genoemd (Swadhisthana in het Sanskriet), staat in verband met de rug en heupen en heeft een sterke associatie met het element water. De flow was erop gericht om het water element in ons te stimuleren.
De ujjayi-adem, ook wel "oceaanademhaling" genoemd, imiteert het geluid van het ruizen van de zee. Deze ademhalingstechniek wordt ingezet om de ademhaling te vertragen, wat helpt bij het verdiepen in de houding en kalmeren van de geest.

📣 MEET OUR TEACHER
Serita Smit - Firefly
Session: Vinyasa Flow
“The firefly possesses the ability to produce its own light. This light is considered the most efficient light in the world.”
Born from the call to return to my roots in Suriname, Firefly represents my soulful quest for reconnection; with body, mind, and spirit. I am Serita Smit, dedicated to spread the light of this powerful little creature.
Serita is een social psycholoog, tutor, yoga docent en hulpverlener. Zij is in de eerste plaats geïnteresseerd in het vinden van de gedeelde menselijkheid. Zowel in mensen, verbindingen als verhalen. In deze gedeelde menselijkheid hoopt ze haar passie voor bewuste beweging te delen, om zo het lichaam te herstellen en het zenuwstelsel te reguleren in deze bedrade samenleving.
Yoga is voor haar een manier geweest om de rusteloze aard van de geest te hanteren sinds ze zestien jaar was en heeft een gemeenschappelijk thema gevormd door haar helingsreis. Puttend uit haar liefde voor psychologie, oude wijsheid, kunst en natuur, dient yoga als een kompas om het zelf te ontrafelen. Het is waar zij een gevoel van vrijheid en flow vindt.
Haar toewijding voor het losmaken van de wijsheid van het lichaam door de beoefening van yoga is wat Serita naar dit yogafestival heeft gebracht. Het lichaam heeft niet alleen de antwoorden, het lichaam houdt ook een score bij. Het is daarom essentieel om te luisteren, naar je body, mind en spirit.
Join us for a peaceful and energizing Vinyasa Flow!

🌏Earth Hour Yoga De Kom Universiteit van Suriname
Een mooie samenkomst van studenten en docenten waar we hebben stilgestaan bij onze impact op de aarde. 🌿
"Flow is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience is so enjoyable that people will continue to do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it” (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990)
Creating a state of flow is is especially helpful for individuals who easily get stuck in their heads or struggle with self-criticism and overthinking. These conditions disrupt a flow state and are often unproductive. Connecting movement with breath through the practice of Vinyasa yoga could be a helpful tool to get into a flow state and move into positive emotions.
Curious about how to find freedom in flow?
Feel free to message me for more information about classes, yoga 1 on 1 and my (online) yoga coaching sessions.

Did you know that there's a state of mind where everything feels effortless and time seems to stand still?
It's called "flow," and it's like riding a wave of focus and productivity. 🌊
Yoga, with its profound teachings, offers us a pathway to tap into this state of flow. The ancient Yoga Sutra beautifully captures this concept through the principle of "Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha" – calming the fluctuations of the mind.
Practicing yoga is learning to quiet the restless thoughts that often distract us, allowing our minds to settle into a state of deep concentration and clarity.
As we move through asanas, synchronize our breath, and practice meditation, we create the right conditions for our brainwaves to shift into a state of flow. In this state, our brainwaves align with the alpha and theta frequencies, associated with relaxation, creativity, and heightened focus.
Practicing yoga and finding flow helps us to decompress from our daily lives, where we have about 40.000 to 80.000 thoughts crossing the human mind every day!
If you resonate with this story and feel the call to find flow and embark on your own yoga journey, I encourage you to book a yoga class!
