Alex Halenda: Beyond Yoga

For me, yoga practice offers a chance to pause.
Whether it’s movement, meditation, breathwork or chanting mantras.
It’s a moment to turn inward and nurture the loving awareness I’ve committed to cultivating.
It’s a way to slow down the ping pong game of life and reaction, so I can contemplate and align myself and self expression with my core values.
When I’m living from that place, life feels more peaceful. I feel more understanding, patient and compassionate.
The physical benefits are undeniable, but the thing that’s always kept me coming back is something that you can’t see. It’s the feeling. It’s that peace.
Grateful I get to share it with you.
See you on the mat.

dear diary,

various moments involving beauty

Just writing down some words:

Summer. Summer, didn’t expect you to be so hot. So hot, I forget every year. Every year is different to me. To me, whether things change gradually or abruptly, it’s felt. It’s felt in ways I can’t describe. Can’t describe the feeling I get when the white roses fill the air with their fragrance in the golden hour. Golden hour light spilling over the trees I walk past every day. Every day I think of water on my skin. My skin still hot from yesterday’s sun in the park. The park was so quiet and the view was so lovely. So lovely in the summer. Summer.
