🧡 YOGA IS ALL ABOUT LIFE 🧡

Yoga is all about life. Living life in HD, full of colour, and to the fullest, not in a hedonistic way, but as a way to honour the gift of being human, and a desire to be present. Yoga is life-affirming. With a regular practice, you’ll find how you engage with life changes. Of course, difficult things will still happen, but how you relate to them will change. There can be a tendency in spirituality to only want the good, the “love & light.” Real Yoga includes it all and asks that we meet all sides of the human experience, the “good” and the “bad,” the “easy” and the “challenging”.

To feel the heartbreak, the loss, the anger, and let it move through us. To see what it has to teach us, what unhealed, unloved parts of ourselves are asking for attention.

Through a regular practice, your life becomes your sadhana. No longer confined to your altar or yoga mat, your life is your spiritual practice. The ground on which you walk is the altar, and you are the constant offering. Offering yourself to life, giving your presence to what is in front of you, and being willing to meet and transform whatever comes your way.

Difficult people become mirrors, challenges become opportunities for growth, and your capacity to embrace and hold it all begins to blossom.

This is how practice can help you in the hard times.

It makes you more resilient and better able to meet a challenge. It grounds you and brings clarity and stability, and it changes the way you engage with life itself.

-Beautifully written by Pelin Turgut-

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, dear yogis, and see you on the mat! 🧡

EMPOWERMENT
Be wild, but remain soft. Be real. Be true. Be you.

Empowerment is the art of embracing the present moment with all its mysteries and gifts. It’s a dance with the flow of life, where saying „yes“ and „no“ becomes a sacred act of nourishing the soul. It’s about befriending the shadows within, knowing that they, too, have their place in the tapestry of existence.

To be empowered is to take responsibility with grace, to whisper „I accept“ in the face of adversity, and to stand firm through the darkest nights and sleepless hours. It’s not a pursuit of superficial joy, nor a relentless chase for fleeting happiness. Empowerment is vast, unbounded, and timeless. It’s not a struggle or a war, nor is it always safe or known.

True empowerment lies in weaving connections, in expressing the boundless creativity that flows through us, in living a life that is unapologetically authentic. It’s a commitment to crafting beauty in every breath, to choosing a path that honors the profound elegance of existence. It’s never about questioning where one belongs, but in knowing deeply that the throne and the home are within, eternal and unwavering.

Happy Sunday Evening dear Yogis! 🙏❤️
LOVE

💛

It’s not only moving forward that creates new starting points. Sometimes, all it takes is a subtle shift in perspective, an opening of the heart and mind, an intentional pause and reset, or a new route to start to see new options and possibilities!

We wish you a beautiful Sunday evening, dear Yogis!
And a great start to the week ✨

✨Valentinstag Geschichte- Die Insel der Gefühle✨

Vor langer Zeit gab es einmal eine schöne kleine Insel. Hier lebten alle Gefühle, Eigenschaften und Qualitäten der Menschen einträchtig zusammen: Der Humor und die gute Laune, der Stolz und der Reichtum, die Traurigkeit und die Einsamkeit, das Glück und die Intuition, das Wissen und all die vielen anderen Gefühle, Eigenschaften und Qualitäten, die einen Menschen eben so ausmachen. Natürlich war auch die Liebe dort zu Hause.

Eines Tages machte ganz überraschend die Nachricht die Runde, dass die Insel vom Untergang bedroht sei und schon in kurzer Zeit im Ozean versinken würde. Also machten alle ihre Schiffe seeklar, um die Insel zu verlassen. Nur die Liebe, deren Schiff gerade nicht seetauglich war, wollte bis zum letzten Augenblick warten. Sie hing sehr an der Insel.

Als das Eiland schon am Sinken war, bat die Liebe die anderen um Hilfe.

Der Reichtum schickte sich gerade an, auf einem sehr luxuriösen Schiff in See zu stechen, da fragte ihn die Liebe: „Reichtum, kannst du mich mitnehmen?“
„Nein, das geht nicht. Auf meinem Schiff habe ich sehr viel Gold, Silber und Edelsteine. Da ist kein Platz mehr für dich.“

Also fragte die Liebe den Stolz, der auf einem grossen und schön gestalteten Schiff vorbeikam. „Stolz, bitte, kannst du mich mitnehmen?“
„Liebe, ich kann dich nicht mitnehmen“, antwortete der Stolz, „hier ist alles perfekt und du könntest mein schönes Schiff beschädigen.“

Als nächstes fragte die Liebe die Traurigkeit: „Traurigkeit, bitte nimmst du mich mit.“
„Oh Liebe“, entgegnete die Traurigkeit, „ich bin so traurig, dass ich allein bleiben muss.“

Als die gute Laune losfuhr, war sie so zufrieden und ausgelassen, dass sie nicht einmal hörte, dass die Liebe sie rief.

Plötzlich aber rief eine Stimme: „Komm Liebe, du kannst mit mir mitfahren.“

✨ How to foster a mindful commitment to yourself ✨

ATHAYOGA Focus of the Month
Fostering personal growth, presented by Queen Mila 🐾

- Create a regular practice through meditation, yoga, writing or another activity that is personally meaningful to you. This daily practice builds an inner fire over time and fosters personal growth, self-control and discipline.

- Set clear goals for your daily practice and hold yourself to them. This could include structuring your time, prioritising and consistently working towards your goals.

- Accept challenges with open arms, look forward to being challenged and consciously deal with them to foster your personal growth. Identify the areas in your life where you can challenge yourself and grow, professionally, personally or spiritually.

- View life as a journey of constant development. Set goals, learn from experience and remain open to change. Constantly practising and striving for refinement will help you maintain your motivation.

- Practise more mindfulness in your daily life. Be present in what you are doing, at work, in conversation or during your spiritual practice. Conscious presence intensifies the inner fire of transformation.

- Take regular time for self-reflection. Review your progress, recognise the positive changes that come from your constant practice.

- Be patient and persistent. Trust the process and be prepared to continue practising even in difficult times. The inner fire will be strengthened through continuous effort.
This will create a strong foundation for personal growth and spiritual development.

We are back with our FOCUS OF THE MONTH

This month, we focus on ✨INTENTION✨

Intention is not just about the destination but also about embracing the journey. Trust the process and let go of unnecessary doubts and fears. Your intention is a guiding star; allow it to illuminate your path, even in moments of uncertainty.

In the tapestry of life, your intention is a vibrant thread that intertwines with the fabric of the universe. With clarity, mindfulness, and unwavering commitment, you set the tone for a journey guided by the power of intention. As you embark on this transformative path, may your intention resonate with the rhythm of your heart, harmonizing your efforts towards the manifestation of your deepest desires.

- Reflect on your true desires to develop a strong intention.
- Define goals with precision and visualize the results vividly.
- Commit yourself to silence. Meditation or walks in nature calm the mind.
- Formulate your intention positively and emphasize your aspirations. A positive formulation plants the seed of positivity in the subconscious.
- Phrase your intention in the present tense to appeal to the subconscious mind and drive actions that are suitable to the intention.
- Fill it with real feelings - joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment. Emotions transform an intention into a dynamic force.
- Reinforce your intention through consistent repetition.
- Create rituals of repetition and affirmation to anchor the intention in your subconscious.

🎄💫 MERRY CHRISTMAS DEAR ATHAYOGA FAMILY! 🎄💫

As we gather around the Christmas tree with our family and loved ones, let us remember that it is not so much about the gifts that are under the tree, but much more about the gift of ✨LOVE & GRATITUDE✨

Cultivating love and gratitude for EVERYTHING is one of the most precious gifts you can give. Be grateful for the little things as much as the big things. For close friends as much as for strangers. For like-minded people as much as for different personalities. For animals and plants as much as for humans.

At the end of the day, all experiences help us to grow into this unique version of ourselves.

We are filled with LOVE and GRATITUDE for this year and for each and every one of YOU! 🙏THANK YOU for being a part of our ATHAYOGA community! In our classes, workshops, trainings, and retreats, we connect, share, and create magical moments together. 💫

❤️🎄With LOVE & GRATITUDE. From our hearts to yours, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄❤️ FELIZ NAVIDAD! 🎄❤️

"In the stillness of your own presence, you'll uncover the boundless universe that dwells within, and the heartbeat of eternity echoing in each fleeting moment."

- Inspired by the teachings of "The Radiant Sutras“

This quote reminds us that we can find profound beauty and lasting fulfillment within ourselves and in the everyday moments of life. It encourages us to be fully present, recognizing the extraordinary in the ordinary, and appreciating each moment as valuable. ✨👌💛

✨THE MINDFUL FLOW ✨

When we practice yoga we cultivate and practice with a high degree of awareness, clarity and mindfulness.
So we can navigate and approach these learning and experiences OFF the mat.

When we effortlessly flow from one pose to another, we learn to be attentive and present in the moment. Like sharp listeners, we attune ourselves to the needs of our bodies, recognizing when to ease back or push forward. Finding a strong foundational practice that provides us stability and support in all part of our life.

With each breath, each movement, we embrace the practice, embracing change and growth with open hearts and steady minds. Embracing these moments of transformation, we discover that the dance of life and the dance on the mat are beautifully interconnected, guiding us towards greater self-awareness and a profound sense of harmony within.



Wishing you a beautiful weekend dear Yogis!

See you on the mat ❤️
