Simple Pleasures

What makes you feel calm, relaxed and at ease?

Daily acts of simple pleasures are tool towards more ease, calmness and relaxation. Tools like; savor a good cup of coffee or tea, lit a scented candle, roll out your yoga mat, take a seat on your meditation cushion, take a walk, slow down and breathe deeply, connect to spirit, wrap a blanket around you and lie down to look at the stars, read a good book...  

But these tools are like asanas, we need to practice them consistently and integrate them into our life to enjoy the longterm benefits.

Monday Morning Yoga Practice

Finding inspiration from many different sources. 

A constant source of inspiration for my yoga practice comes from nature, people, quotes, poems, animals, music, the beauty of everyday things.

Pause...

Pause. Take a deep breath and 

dive into the moment.

Bliss on the beach

I’m back in the city after a week at the beach. I gathered inspiration and strength. It was a week of total self-care. There are many beautiful ways we can practice self-care, it can be the smallest things, as long as we do them with the right intentions and mindfulness.

Yoga at the beach cottage. Make it simple and doable. A few asanas can make a huge difference.

Keep true to the rare music in your heart, to the marvelous and unique form that is and shall always be nothing else but you.
