Magic in Seattle

🌞 THE LAST DAY OF AUGUST...
doesn't mean the end of summer, as the Fall Equinox on Sept 21 marks the true transition. 🍂

But we are certainly entering the stage of transition - from summer to fall, in so many ways - seasonally, energetically, physically. We move with nature, whether we like it or not.

Yoga's sister science, Ayurveda, equips us with tools for this shift, nurturing body and mind as the Earth countinues its spin around the Sun.

🍁 Throughout September, I'll be sharing practical tips to prepare for fall with simple lifestyle tweaks. A deeper dive into the wealth of Ayurvedic knowledge will happen in the yoga club.🧘‍♀️

Also, keep an eye out for a special Equinox event announcement! 😉

✨ Be prepared to see me talk more about energy, thin bodies, and all the subtle aspects of being a human. As my comfort level of being online increases, I'm excited to expand topics covered here.

Stay tuned, and know that your support fuels my sharing 🙏

YOGA AS ULTIMATE SELF-CARE

Yoga practice is one of the best methods of self-care because it's benefits cover physical, mental and emotional health.

Yoga relieves body from settled aches, pains and stiffness, bringing better blood circulation, energy, strength and flexibility.
It relieves the mind from influx of thoughts, anxiousness, worries.
It teaches how to live in the present moment - the only place in life where happiness is within reach.

Yoga also sets into motion other healthy habits, creating a cycle of self-care off your mat that greatly enhances life.

If you want to feel better in every way possible - physically, emotionally, energetically - yoga is the self-care you need.

If you want to clean up your eating habits - do yoga. Want to stress less - do yoga. Want to feel good about yourself - yoga. Improve how you handle relationships - yoga. It really is all that.

Doors to the club are closing tonight as we start off the month of practice.
This is the last invitation to join us this month.

WHY DO YOGA WITH ME?

I've been practicing yoga over 10 years and a few years ago decided to make it my profession. It has not been an easy path at first, transitioning from a corporate career and way of thinking to a holistic one, with a lot of uncertainties in the new industry.

But it has been the best path to be on. I studied yoga with many teachers, exploring multiple styles of practice, which eventually led me to a trauma-informed yoga style, which beautifully marries the ancient practices of the East and the newest scientific discoveries of the the West for a most wholesome approach to human health and wellbeing.

My curiosity and desire to know more about humans led me to become a holistic coach along the way and I'm currently working on obtaining a degree in psychology.

The more I learn of the importance of working with the nervous system to gain everything us humanswant in life - health, contentment, happiness, a state of thriving and genuenly enjoying our lives, the more I appreciate the wholesome tools of yoga that help achieve all that - physical movement (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), meditation.

I've tried so many things to better myself and my life. Yoga works. Simple as that. For myself and millions of people. And not in the way one may expect. As one practices yoga regularly, one learns how to fall in love with themselves and their life first. Then all else falls into place.

My yoga practice and teaching is not about achieving a certain body or level of fitness. Not about the fleeting excitement from making an impressive move, or achieving a certain look. It is about finding deep true happiness within. Comparable to that feeling when you have a purring cat in your lap on a cozy summer afternoon. Nothing significant is happening, but you feel so good, so peaceful, so still inside. That is the state we are after. Of course, all that is accompanied by a healthy body, achievement of which yoga practice also supports greatly.

If you are done looking for superficial ways to happiness, join me in exploring this beautiful practice. Yoga club is open. We start July 3. Link in bio.

You will meet your depth on your mat. I'll help find the way.
