There is a profound connection between breath and mind. As the Hatha Yoga Pradipika beautifully states:

“When the Breath wanders, the mind is unsteady, but when the Breath is still, so is the mind still.”

By mastering our breath, we can achieve a state of mental calm and focus. This powerful practice was already compiled in the 15 century - where they were already sharing some strategies to help us face life’s challenges with serenity and clarity.

join our Intro to philosophy class September 17 start date. 6 classes to bring more wisdom into your life. All level welcome!

Can’t wait to share with you
Love

Inspiring wisdom from the Upanishads to start our day:

« When all the senses are stilled, when the mind is at rest, when the intellect wavers not, then, say the wise, is reached the highest state. This calm of the senses and the mind has been defined as yoga. He who attains it is freed from delusion. »

For more gems joins our philosophy class that start the 17th of September Intro to the yoga sutra.

Yoga Sutra 1.33 -

« By cultivating attitudes of friendship toward the happy, compassion toward those is distress, joy in the virtuous, and equanimity toward the non-virtuous, lucidity arises in the mind. »

How beautiful is this sutra? Patanjali here outlines a practice essential for enhancing lucidity, the attitudes mentioned in this sutra are important to prepare the mind for meditation!

1. Friendship toward the Happy: Celebrate and share in the joy of others. Their happiness doesn’t diminish ours; instead, it enriches it.

2. Compassion toward those in distress : Show compassion and understanding to those who are suffering. Compassion is different than empathy- in empathy you merge with the person.

3. joy in the Virtuous: Recognizing virtuous qualities encourages us to cultivate them within ourselves.

4. Equanimity toward the Non-Virtuous: cultivating non-reactivity towards those who exhibit negative behavior!

Once the mind is clear, concentration can be achieved.

Sharing some Wisdom from the Upanishads

Making the distinction between the terms pleasure and joy.
Pleasure is fleeting, often derived from external sources and bound to the senses. It’s temporary and can leave us craving more.
In contrast, joy is enduring, arising from within and has no limit at all. It’s the inner peace and contentment that comes from spiritual growth and self-awareness.
Thank you for creating the Upanishads online lecture inspiring our practice and teaching, delving deep into the nature of the Self.
Classes this week end:
Saturday 10:30 am led
Sunday 9:30 Mysore

**Uddiyana Bandha** or the upward abdominal lock

I have been incorporating Uddiyana Bandha in my daily routine as I wake up - no food or water before. It is a technique to bring the energy upward and involves pulling the abdominal muscles inward and upward, creating a powerful internal lock. It’s typically practiced when you flush the lungs at the end of the exhalation in a seated or standing position.

Some of the Therapeutic Benefits:

1. Improves Digestion: Stimulates the digestive organs, enhancing metabolism and alleviating issues like bloating and constipation. The bag of viscera is going upward!
Stimulate the Agni, the gut, the fire!!

2. Boosts Circulation: Promotes blood flow to the abdominal area, and behind the bag of viscera.

3. Engaging and toning the abdominal muscles, supporting overall core stability and strength.

4. Develop the proprioception with the area below the navel!
The space below the navel is always going up.

Missing my practice sisters .yoga_ and

First day teaching at our favorite Italian shala - the fantastic !
Next week is teaching a reduced schedule:
🪷Monday - Wednesday - Friday 7 to 9am Mysore
🪷Sunday 9 to 11am Mysore
📸 by

Our Mysore room gives you a super personalized approach where each student follows the traditional ashtanga sequence at their own pace, respecting their own constitutions and energies while the teacher gives personal advice and/or adjustments.
🪷
The simplest way to think of it is as one-to-one yoga but in a group setting … this allows the teacher to observe the student’s breaths, movements, inner and outer alignment and from this recommends certain poses/asanas or their therapeutic modifications – based on personal needs.
🪷
Shala is open from 7am to 9am - each yogi is following their own sequence and is free to come and go as they please.
🪷
Accessible to everyone, less experienced yogis are welcome, their sequence will usually be much shorter and with lower intensity than established yogis.
🪷
Next week schedule:
-Monday-Tuesday -Thursday – Friday: 7 to 9am
-Wednesday 1st May– Sunday: 9 to 11am

For the third year we return to our beloved Italian shala, hosted at the magical space created my Mark and Nikola .
The retreat offers an in-depth experience of yogic practices:
