Today I feel so vibrant. I moved through some beautiful Sun Salutation this morning. Looking out of the window at the blue sky. And after I got home I just had to spend more time outside. I went for a long run. I had the perfect pace, where running seemed so effortless. Fully present. Listening…

Day 4: Celebration
A few weeks ago I noticed that I was getting closer to completing my 50th blog post. Quite a milestone for me. Since then I have been battling what could be described as writer’s block. I just drew a blank when thinking about things to write about. Yes, life has been busy. And yes, I…
Day 3: Consistency
Over the last ten years or so the intensity of my yoga practice has varied greatly. I have always found it too challenging to keep up with both „extremes“… a truly consistent (read: regular) practice and none at all… However, I have always come back to yoga. Being pulled back onto my mat has been…

Lost in translation … again
After two ’no yoga‘ weeks I thoroughly enjoyed the last teacher training session this weekend. It was all about methodology and principles of teaching. I completed this workshop earlier (my group was scheduled for October), because I really wanted to know where to start. What do I need to do to start teaching? Well, I…
