Within each of us there is a silence, a silence as vast as a universe. We are afraid of it, and we long for it. When we experience that silence, we remember who we are: creatures of the stars, created from the cooling of this planet, created from dust and gas, created from the elements, created from time and space…created from silence. ~ Gunilla Norris (Inviting silence) ・ Perfect reading for a perfect day. I love Gunilla Norris, and if you haven’t read her yet, I recommend her books from the ♡ ・ Have a wonderful weekend Much love ❤️ ・ #silence #inspiration #meditation #perfectday #love #yogini #yogateacher #olive3 #ericeira #portugal

***Portugal 200-hour TTC update*** If you’re thinking about joining us in beautiful Ericeira for an intensive 200-hour @spanda.vinyasa Yoga teacher training, don’t wait too long as I will, due to pre-training assignments, close the registration at the end of this month. ・ On another note... One of you asked me what to look for when searching for a teacher training. This is a great question and one which deserves a longer answer and I will answer it tomorrow in an IGTV video. So, if you’re interested, stay tuned! ・ #ttc #yttc #vinyasa #yoga #teachertraining #yogateacher #openheart #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #yogaeveryday #yogaeverywhere
Did you ever share that “good vibes only” bumper sticker on your social media profile? I have. Even test printed it on a tank top once. But, a few days ago, when I was feeling kind of bad vibey, I saw these three words from a very different perspective. So, I wrote a blog about it. If you’re interested, link is in my bio, comments and thoughts very welcome. ・ Much love to all, and have a beautiful Sunday. ・ #thoughts #ponderings #blog #goodvibes #badvibes #allvibeswelcome #yogaeveryday #yogaeverywhere #yogateacher
"I stand before what is with an open heart. And with an open heart I dwell in possibility." ・ If you’re in or around Ericeira, join me this Sunday at 11:00 for a juicy, expanding, heart opening practice. The practice will be accompanied with live, meditative music played by @pedrosoares.pt ・ I hope to see you in this beautiful shala at @olive3.yogaretreat ・ #openheart #expand #vinyasa #vinyasaflow #yoga #ericeira #anahata #music #love
Milano and Zagreb tribe! I’m coming your way next month to teach a Chakra Vinyasa workshop as a part of the 300-hour TTC. Please register on my website (link in bio) if you are planning to join me. If you only want to come for a morning masterclass, I will open available spots closer to date so stay tuned:). ・ Happy new (super) moon, I hope you’re vacationing somewhere beautiful and have plenty of time for your beautiful selves. ・ #photo @sanjinkastelan #yogini #yogateacher #chakravinyasa #teachertraining #vinyasa #yoga #yogazagreb #yogamilano #spandayogatribe
Hello friends! Those of you who know me, and those of you who follow me, might know that I’m a bit on the shy side when it comes to taking photos and videos, and I almost never share a photo of me close up like this. Not even on my private IG/FB. So, why am I doing it today you may wonder? I have half decided (still not completely sure🤷‍♀️) to film some IGTV videos and talk about yoga, life, change, awareness, veganism, share inspiration, tips, answer questions I often get from my students, especially teacher trainees and fresh teachers, film some sequences etc. Filming sequences comes easy for me, teaching and talking about anything on my teacher training courses comes naturally (didn’t at the beginning of course), talking to the camera and sharing my thoughts publicly, doesn’t. It actually makes me feel uncomfortable. But, it’s a hurdle I’m willing to jump and a fear I’m willing to face if I believe it’s useful and will serve the community. So, my dear community, let me know. ・ Love from me and my happy bougainvillea here in the background;) 💗 ・ #yogateacher #igtv #yoga #vinyasayoga #change #life #inspiration #love
Happiness! I wanted a @ravvast since @dylanwerneryoga (thanks Dylan!) told me about it and I heard him play a few years ago. I hesitated because of silly little excuses like but, I don’t know how to play, but I’ll be moving soon, but, it’s too heavy, too expensive etc. I guess last week I run out of excuses and just ordered one. So happy I did. Next step is to learn how to play, so let’s see how that goes 🙃🤞 ・ Maybe this was the perfect timing because I finally have some time for myself, I’m not traveling much, etc. but the truth is, often in life, the perfect moment never comes. Life is this string of imperfect moments we should make the most of. ・ It is often fear and guilt that love to stand in the way of happiness and joy. We feel guilty if we spend too much time, money, etc on something which makes us happy because we’re taught to be more ‘reasonable’. We fear we won’t be good at something so we just don’t do it, we quit before trying. But the thing is, we don’t have to be good, we can even be bad as long as we have fun, as long as it makes us happy. Surfing taught me that important lesson. Life is short. Don’t get caught up in must’s and to do’s, do what brings you happiness and joy. ・ Excited to teach in this beautiful space @olive3.yogaretreat and to play for all of you coming to Ericeira this October! ・ #joy #happiness #music #yoga #sound #ravvast #yogateacher #ericeira #portugal
Still some spots left for the 200-hour @spanda.vinyasa Teacher Training @yogaalliance accredited course in @inexpalestre MILANO taught by myself, Belinda Sutan @yogabelinda and guest teachers who specialise in anatomy and biomechanics, yoga philosophy and the science of Ayurveda. ・ Both Belinda and myself have over 15 years of teaching experience, as well as, in their respective fields, our guest teachers on the course. With the knowledge, experience and individual approach (groups are limited to 15 students), and a very structured programme, we believe we have created a very solid foundation for our students to grow and transform into amazing teachers. ・ The course runs from October - June 2020. and is taught in both English and Italian giving you an opportunity to learn how to teach classes in both languages. ・ For more info, please visit the link in bio. ・ #photo @sanjinkastelan #yoga #yogateacher #yogateachertraining #vinyasa #vinyasayoga #vinyasaflow #yogamilano #milanoyogis #becomeayogateacher
Portugal friends! I’m teaching a special, live music Anahata Flow class on Sunday 4th of August 11-12:30 in beautiful @olive3.yogaretreat Yoga Shala. ・ Join me and @pedrosoares.pt Pedro de Freitas Soares, a Portuguese multi instrumentalist, overtone singer, artist and sound healer who weaves almost 15 years of music and sound healing experience and uses his instruments as ceremonial and healing tools. ・ Yoga practice will focus on Anahata Chakra, our emotional, heart centre. Coupled with live music, the idea is to create a safe and inspiring environment for opening, expanding and healing. Asana practice will be more dynamic, but modifications and variations will be offered so everyone is welcome. ・ Link in bio for more info + DM or email to book your spot! ・ #yoga #music #vinyasayoga #vinyasa #soundhealing #heartopening #anahata #yogaportugal #ericeira

Happy Guru Purnima day! Guru Purnima is celebrated on a full moon day and it’s a day devoted to celebrating our Gurus, our teachers. Gu signifies darkness, and Ru remover, so the word ‘Guru’ means a person who sheds light on the darkness and leads us from darkness to light, from ignorance to enlightenment. ・ Celebrating and acknowledging our teachers is important but, it recently seems, a lost tradition. At least from what I see in the yoga world, especially among the younger generation of teachers. But, this is a topic for another post altogether... Use this day to remember your teachers and the knowledge and inspiration you got from them. Light a candle for those who passed and send love to those still here. And don’t forget to thank your heart, your Guru within. ・ Today I bow to all the teachers I was blessed with on this 20+ year spiritual yoga journey, and to all my students who are my teachers and an endless source of inspiration. ・ Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwara, Guru Saakshaat Parabrahma, Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah 🕉 ・ #photo credit @sanjinkastelan #fullmoon #guru #gurupurnima #light #knowledge #spiritualjourney #grateful #thankful #yoga
I got a DM from a student friend saying she misses me and misses my posts and the inspiration she gets from them. It often happens that, when I decide to take a longer break from social media, something or someone nudges me back and reminds me that the teachings and inspiration come in different shapes and forms, even on these platforms. ・ I could say there’s not much going on; I moved to my new home a week ago and have been spending time taking care of myself - basically doing what I feel I need right now. So, I have been redecorating my living space, planting plants, spices and one beautiful bougainvillea I always wanted to have in my home but never could. Yesterday we planted a lawn! Today we watched ants carry away the grass seeds into their underground homes 😂. I tried to sway them with my homemade granola. It lasted an hour the most. Let’s see what happens (to be continued..). I’m baking and cooking - a lot! I think I already gained a kilo but who cares?! I’m quiet on the outside and quiet on the inside. Germinating and growing roots, slowly and quietly just as (hopefully) our grass seeds. ・ A few years ago I would have never given myself permission to be this quiet and still. There was always somewhere to go, something to do. This is due to partially my character, partially my upbringing and spiced up with the society’s norms. Of more is more. Of raising the bar, of ‘to do’s’ and have to’s. It’s a great burden to bear for all of us and it’s no wonder people suffer from anxiety and depression more and more, myself included. So, a few years ago I have decided to break free. It took a while but here I am. Less is more. Simplicity is luxury. Stillness is key to living a peaceful life. ・ #home #rooting #grounding #stillness #portugal #peace #love #yoga #offthemat
