Starting January I`m back teaching again although now 1 class a week and not 17….
The class will be at Altromondo yoga studio which is run by Jennie. Fridays 17.00 -18.15 a perfect after work class or a nice treat before the weekend.
Me and Jennie are also organising a yoga/food retreat to the amazing Villa Lena in Tuscany in May.
With artist staying at the Villa to take workshops from, me using Villa Lenas own products to make food, while doing yoga, wine tastings or just chilling this is one retreat I would do if I wasn´t working on it.
Go the Jennies web for more info on classes here in town and to find out more about the May retreat.
I will be teaching Ashtanga again at Yoga Devi. Anne Sophie who runs the studio used to be my yoga trainee and the first class she took she was so burnt out she did one sun salut ate a banana and went straight into savasana.
Yoga heals when you move from what you got and stop worring about the mind stuff desturbing your inner peace.
Mind stuff is all the thoughts and feelings that fragment you. We all go thru the same shit and the best remedy is to see what it´s made of and use the pain in a productive way.
When you can rest in that you can develope a creative force that is unique and use it in your life and work.
Dates for my classes are:
Mysore style on mondays 26/10, 2/11, 9/11 17.15-19.00 and wednesdays 21/10, 28/10, 3/11 and 10/11.
Beginners on the same mondays as listed abow and the time is 19.15-21.00.
I was totally worn out and sick when I boarded the plane to Biarritz. At home I wake up 45 minutes earlier to do my practice.
Peoples reaction to this is why?
I can´t see how I could not. Daily practice has been part of my life for the past 16 years in one form or another.
It´s a thermometer of my physical, mental and emotional state. It gets me through the days and mirrors where I am.
Of course the physical aspect is a big part of it, even more so when not working as a yoga teacher.
My body is active the whole day and stress is the key ingredient in my life at the moment.
Ideally it would´t be like this but life is seldom ideal. I´m working with and thru whats around me. Trying to not get sucked into the dramas at work and in my personal life.
Of course this is impossible but with the practice it becomes very apparent what I can change and what I can´t. This makes it easier to focus on transforming a shitty situation into something productive.
I have not succeed with this the weeks prior to my trip.
So even though not part of the yoga retreat as a student and with work to be done both there and else where.
The nature, silence, people, making food the way I love to, local organic markets, and with time to really practice every day made me feel a little bit less fragmented than when I left.
And we’ve laughed a lot. Josefin, Peter, Isabel, Gonzalo, Jessica and Shay where a great crew.
Yogaakademin and Surfakademin are run by Peter, Jens and Josefin. They are travel agencies for yogis and surfers looking to deepen or learn to practice yoga and surf in different parts of the world.
Vera learnt how to surf with Surfakademin who took her to the beaches along the coast of France and Spain to find just the right waves.
New friends where made and I remembered a part of me that has been neglected for far to long.
