Anika Love Yoga

✨ When you acknowledge your thoughts and the true wishes of your heart, and when you communicate them honestly and take actions in alignment with them, you open the door to real happiness.
✨To hear the voice of your heart, you need to quiet your mind. Learn to discern the gentle whisper of your heart from the loud noise of your mind. Following through with actions that reflect your heart’s desires is key.
✨Sometimes, we all need a little guidance—someone to hold our hand and support us until we’re strong enough to walk this path on our own.

Saturn, a planet of structure and form, operates within hierarchies and organizations. Known as a planet of democracy, Saturn emphasizes self-sacrifice and service to others, governing monks, nuns, yogis, and those on paths of renunciation. Saturn teaches detachment, perseverance, patience, and responsibility, often testing us in situations requiring these qualities. Through Saturn’s influence, we learn to destroy our illusions and understand that we need not take things personally. This planet ultimately rewards us with humility, wisdom, and peace.
Spiritually, Saturn helps us become detached and even-minded as we face life’s ups and downs, increasing our capacity for spiritual work and service. With time, Saturn can manifest as maturity, wisdom, and humility, ultimately strengthening our persistence and determination.

Wednesday is ruled by Mercury, known as “Budha,” which means “awakened intelligence” or “wisdom.” This planet is one of the most important in Vedic astrology due to its association with communication, intelligence, education, and travels. Mercury governs mental abilities, learning skills, speech, and writing, making Wednesdays perfect for intellectual tasks and networking.
In a birth chart, the position of Mercury by sign, house, and aspect to other planets reveals a lot about a person’s mental functions and communication style.
For example, in my chart Mercury is placed in Gemini, which gives me a sharp, versatile mind. I am naturally curious and skilled at gathering and sharing information. My communication style is energetic, engaging, and adaptable. Placed in the 12th house, Mercury’s influence extends to the subconscious mind, spirituality, and hidden realms, leading me into deep introspection and contemplation.

Mondays, governed by the Moon, offer us all a chance to start anew with a focus on our emotional well-being. In many cultures and astrological systems, the Moon is intimately connected with motherhood and feminine energy. The lunar gentle energy helps us tune into our intuition and reflect on our inner world. Use the phase of a New Moon for setting intentions, and the Full Moon for reflecting on and celebrating your achievements.
The Moon governs the tides of the oceans, causing the rhythmic rise and fall of sea levels. This connection with water embodies the qualities of fluidity, adaptability, and emotional depth, reflecting the ever-changing and flowing nature of both water and the Moon’s energy. This is why lunar energy is often associated with emotions, intuition, and the subconscious mind, all of which have a natural ebb and flow similar to water.

Imagine presence as a spring-fed forest pond— clear, still, and pure. Because we’ve spent so much time lost in the woods of our thoughts and emotions, we often have trouble finding this pond.

But as we sit down to meditate again and again, we become familiar with the path through the woods. We can find the gap between the trees, we know the roots we’ve tripped over before, we trust that even if we get caught up in the brush and bramble, we’ll find our way.

Do you know what do you want?

Every tiny step you take, even if it seems insignificant atm, is a progress towards your dreams. You may not see the immediate progress and it’s ok. Remember that even tiniest ripple can create a wave of change and growth.

True understanding of the present moment and the nature of time transcends intellectual comprehension. It's through personal experience and mindful presence that we begin to grasp the profound essence of existence.

It’s not uncommon to feel lost when it comes to finding a life purpose. In fact, recent social studies and research in positive psychology revealed that nearly 90% of the adult population are struggling to find fulfillment in their career.

Why are we not following our true heart’s desire? What holds us to live happy fulfilled lives?

✨ Most people are not very clear ( I would say super unclear) on what THEY want. Not the society, not family and friends, but THEY.
✨ Way too many people are simply disconnected with their nature, the essence that lies at the core of their being.
✨ Lack of motivation and discipline for consistency - To show up, to keep moving, to navigate through the setbacks, time management and more.
✨ Fears, illusions and insecurities.

We are raised in conformity. We follow the well-paved path “school-college-grind”. And I am not saying it’s bad. It can offer stability and security. There is a clear career trajectory for some.

The rise of automation, remote work, and the freelance economy shifting the nature and perception of work. And maybe, just maybe, the traditional path may not be as secure or reliable as it used to be.

Are you on a journey of figuring out what your purpose is?
Have you ever thought that the key to unlocking your path already lies within you, waiting to be ignited? That key is passion.

Passion lights up the way to our actions. It makes us feel being truly alive, engaged, and excited. Think - what makes you lose track of time, where you're completely absorbed and obsessed. Those sparks of passion are clues to your purpose.

The growing sense of existential loneliness, related to the dissonance of connection and isolation in our technology-driven world, is pushing people to seek passion and purpose.

We may have hundreds of “friends” but not be close to any of them, we may be part of dozens of groups and communities but without a sense of belonging, we may have multiple interactions a day but still superficial and shallow.

Social media feeds are flooded with “perfect” versions of lives, often creating a feeling that our lives are not good enough. We don’t recognize authenticity - was this message, content, image, etc. created by humans or AI? It causes fears, uncertainties, and insecurities and makes it challenging to connect with others on a genuine level.

Our fundamental need as social beings is to belong to something larger than ourselves. Existential loneliness highlights this need for meaning and purpose that online interactions alone cannot fulfill. That's why content like “follow your heart,” “find what makes you happy,” and “create your dream life” resonates with so many people. These messages tap into a universal desire for purpose and fulfillment.

So, what is your passion?

Being a yoga teacher is definitely not just a job title. Really. It’s more like a lifetime journey that feels like started in a previous incarnation. In a past chapter of my life, when I felt shattered into gazillion fragments, I turned to yoga, meditation, reiki, and various healing modalities. These practices became my anchors during the darkest times.
Fast-forward to the present - adopting the yogic lifestyle has given me vital tools to navigate life's ups and downs. I'm still a human with my share of good and … “other” days, but now I hold the tools to ride the waves with grace, even in the most turbulent times.
So, when I say I'm a yoga teacher, I don’t imply that I simply guide you through various poses and teach you to breath as you move. I create a space for your growth, offering practical tools for a purposeful, fulfilling, and joyful life.
