I have a confession to make….
I AM IN LOVE WITH MY DAILY PRACTICE! ❤️❤️❤️
Yesterday, for the first time on a Sunday, I woke up and started my morning practice. I usually like to linger in bed on Sunday and skip my practice, but this time something felt diferent. My body simply wanted to do the practice, even more, was looking forward to it. This realization put a big smile on my face.
For the past 10 years, there have been months with a daily practice then months without one. I’ve always been through phases, and maintaining a daily practice for more than 6 months has been challanging.
Growing up in an environemnt where “pushing” and “doing” have been prety much part of my values, since living in Bali, I felt a strong need to experiement more of “going with the flow”. And while that is a wonderful way to navigate life, I think I have missused it in some ways.
As a child, anything that had to do with routine or repetition was creating resistance for me. Given the fact that my parent’s lives have been literally functioning based on routines and rules, you would expect I would become a routine and habit freak. Yet I didn’t, and quite the oposite I have developed adversion to it and became a rebelious child in their opinion.
As an adult, I’ve also had trouble to commit to routine in general. Doing the same thing every day felt boring and far from being creative. I felt the need to reinvent things and create always new ways rather than repeating those I knew for too long. Later I’ve learned it was a way to distract myself from staying focused and reality is that mastering comes from repetition…. hours, days, years, over and over again. And that applies to the daily practice to.
I came to undertand that having a daily practice is not about doing the same thing every day, but about doing the practice every day no matter what. Consistency and commitment creates mastery. Showing up and doing it anyways brings transformation and

My morning routine video! https://youtu.be/gLCKhuCn-gw Having a morning routine is one of the best gifts I can give to myself. Starting the day with “ME TIME” is a proof of self love which grounds me and sets my energy for the day so I can start my day early, get most of the things I want done and also be at best service for others. I know it can be challanging, especially with a day job, but once you get the hang of it, you will see that time and space for it simply get created. May 2021 be a year full of expansion for all of us and may we be able to create space for a consisten daily routine. 🙏❤️ With love, from Bali #dailypractice #dailyroutine #practice #yoga #selflove
Yoga offers amazing cleansing tools I remember my first 100HR yoga training 9 years ago when I was introduces to them. I was hooked! The so called Kriya techniques are simple procedures anyone can do at home to enhance the elimination of toxins. They can give the body that last little push of really getting rid of what it doesn’t need. Basically your body does the hard work during the night and you only have to give that last hand for the process to be complete in the morning after you wake up. While going to the toilet is the main way your body does that, there are other places where the body is bringing the toxins for elimination - eyes, mouth and nose. We think that blowing our nose one time, quickly washing our eyes and brushing out teeth is enough. Yet again we forget that these are the openings where the body is mainly in contact with the environmental polutors and they work pretty hard to filter what is coming into the body and have their role in elimination too. Keeping them clean is so important for their function and also for our senses. During the 3 Day Gentle Ayurvedic Cleanse 25th-27th of September I will show you how to do these techniques in the comfort of your home. Yes, we are getting personal.😉 Once you know them and understand their importance you will want to implement them in your daily routine. Join me! #yoga #ayurveda #Kriyayoga
I remember my first yoga self practice. It was Ashtanga Mysore style, 9 years ago in Bali. For those who don’t know, this is a series of asana done in a certain order. It is always the same and it should be practiced every morning for 6 days a week. You practice together with other people under the supervision of an Ashtanga teacher, but in your own rhythm. You need to learn the sequence so you remember what is next. The teacher will help you if you get stuck, will give you adjustments and will also tell you if you are ready for the next asana in the series. This is a practice you build slowly step by step from a half an hour up to maybe two hours, depending on the series you are in. There are 6 series in total, from Primary to advanced. I loved my practice back then, yet I was sometimes struggling with having to do the same practice over and over again and also got caught in the mind “looking around at what others would do”. At some point I stopped, not because of that, but because I have noticed my body wanted something else and so I started to practice at home by myself. The Primary Ashtanga series was definitely a great base and I am very thankful for having the opportunity to learn it and practice under the supervision of great teachers here in Bali. There was something special about me, myself and I on the mat at home in the morning with the sun coming out. I remember being excited to add something else to my practice every morning and try something different. I was still in the stages of experimenting with it but the curiosity kept it interesting and something to look forward to. That eventually built into a regular practice. I managed to build a practice all by myself from scratch which felt amazing. It was not an advanced practice, but it was just what I needed and I was able to practice all by myself. And that was the most important. I also started to listen more and more to what my body needed and so the practice became a way of meeting th
