„Freedom – there are so many songs about it. Something like freedom was for animals. That had nothing to do with me. Or so I thought. […] But suddenly I was free too. Right in this very moment. Everything smelled free. The free night, the free moon, the free grass and the free sky.“ –…

Moments Matter / Momentaufnahmen
When I take my son to school we walk along this stream. He still holds my hand. Or I am holding his, depends how you look at it. He usually talks a lot. Some mornings we are both quiet. Today we were laughing about something all the way. Last week we heard a woodpecker, but…
Ich habe mir heute mal Zeit genommen
Zwischen Yoga unterrichten und zu Hause alles liegengebliebene zu erledigen, habe ich mir heute mal Zeit genommen. Ich bin eingekehrt – Kaffee, Mittag & etwas Zeit für mich. Die Sonne schien durchs Fenster herein und wärmte meinen Rücken. Ich konnte den blauen Himmel sehen… Meine Morgenkurse liefen gut. Die Zufriedenheit hallte in mir nach. Jemand…
Do more of what makes you happy: Draw some monsters
My son told me the other day that he likes the robots I draw. I do not know whether I ever drew robots as a child. Or monsters. Or mandalas. Now I do. And I am enjoying it tremendously. There is quite a lot of drawing going on in our house. My husband is an…
Heart Wide Open

A Moment in Time: November 5th at 6:56 PM; Gruenowski, Jena

Change is in the air
My one and only face reflected multiple times in a life-sized kaleidoscope… from a yogic perspective I find it fascinating that I have just the one face but fill out all these different roles. I am not sure how much of my inside going-ons are really being reflected on my expression but no matter how…
Do more of what makes you happy: Say yes, say no
I spent a few days in Munich recently and had time to visit the Andy Warhol exhibition there. I photographed the building because the Yes! Yes! Yes! in the windows struck a cord with me. How often do you do things just to do them? To be able to do more of the things you…
Do more of what makes you happy: Hug a tree!
I love trees. These living things have always fascinated me. The different shapes, sizes and personalities they display. One of my favorite trees is the Ginkgo tree, also known as maidenhair tree, which I just found out. The leaves turn a beautiful yellow in fall. There happen to be quite a few Ginkgo trees around…
