How I live and what I think
Back in December I wrote about bullet journaling and how I was giving it a go. Four months later I am loving the method as it really helps to bring structure to my life. Several of my friends have taken up BuJo-ing as well so I thought I do a little update about the whys and hows. If you are new to the concept, bullet journal is simply…
In the last post I wrote about moving away from things that just do not feel right, even if reason can tell us otherwise. Needless to say, the topic of recognising when it is time to change the course and refocus energies has been in my mind a lot lately. Not that I have gone for some radical overhaul of my life (yet), rather I have tweaked certain…
When it comes to life advice, open any website, app or TV programme and we are quickly fooled into thinking that giving up is the biggest sin we could commit. From fitness routines, diets, and dating to self-entrepreneurship, there seems to be an entire industry geared towards reminding us of the hidden powers and untapped potential that live within us. We are advised how we should be pushing…
…that I have been wanting to note down. There is a lovely yoga boutique in Paris called Yoga Concept (123 Rue Turenne.) It was small but packed with brands hard to find in Europe in stores (like Teeki and Alo Yoga) and on their website they make a commitment to work with small quality brands, as well as local designers. In addition to clothes they also sell yoga…
Because sometimes all there is left to say is “it is what it is.” Because it is Tuesday. Because I like looking at pictures and reading quotes and somebody else might too. Because sometimes the best thing is to remain quiet and enjoy the silence. Tallenna…
I started this blog because I like writing and I did not find (m)any blogs about yoga combining the physical and more spritual aspects of it. I’ve been using Instagram for several years because I like taking and looking at photos. Insta also proved to be a great tool when I was recovering from my dislocated shoulder few years back. It allowed me to follow my progress that…
What seems to be the most anticipated New Year is finally here and yes, I for one am pretty happy for it. Not because 2016 was personally the worst ever (but it was very bizarre) but because those weird ”non-existent days” between Christmas and New Year always make me feel like I am on a weird limbo-timeloop where nothing you do really counts (for the good and the…
It’s the last day of the year and I went for a swim to wash myself clean of 2016! Bring on the New Year’s Eve, the two rings of 23:59 on this Island with a horizontal timezone across the Capital and all of 2017! Tallenna…
…I took an evening flow yoga class, taught in Greek and in Russian. It’s always good to explore what’s out there. It was a nice class, with music too. …Finland had her 99th Independence Day. I celebrated it at a reception where I met another yoga teacher. We talked about our respective teacher trainings and how we both like a slow practise. …”My” Teacher Anna Zorzou is on…
In all honestly up until few years ago I did not realise playing music in yoga classes was something that a) happens and b) is a preference for some. Now, I don’t mind either way. I sometimes practise at home with music on the background, and I have been to great yoga classes accompanied with well thought through music (think drum’n’base during a strong Jivamukti class at 7…
