✨In my last story, I talk about an episode that I have listened today from the @highestselfpodcast today about our addiction to suffering and that made me think about why I started yoga in a first place. . 😫I did my first yoga class 5 years ago because I thought it would be a solution to my stress. I started with a quiet yin yoga class and I couldn't focus as I had too much time focusing on my own mental pain. It was not strong enough to numb my thoughts and feelings. So I stopped after my first class. . πŸ™†When I got even more stressed 1 year later, I came back to yoga because I knew somehow it could help me. But I started a stronger version of it: hot power vinyasa. During the classes, that I started to do more and more regularly, it was hard. I felt pain in every part of my body, because I was never doing any sport before, and because I allowed myself to feel pain. I wanted to suffer. . I pushed myself more and more to cope with more and more stress. And as a rewarding, I was not thinking anymore, I felt my body was exhausted, and I could only focus on the physical pain and somehow it was easier. . πŸ™Then one year after that, I realized how far I had come to numb pain. I quitted everything that hurted me to try to heal myself. . As a lot of people do, I travelled to escape my thoughts and reality. And I found peace when practicing yoga abroad. During the yoga teacher training, I finally understood that yoga wasn't a tool to feel more pain in order to heal but was instead a tool to explore physically and mentally myself in order to heal. And when my mind shifted, yoga never felt the same anymore. ✈ . It was all about cohabiting with my feelings, pain or hapiness, and not feeling addicted to suffering anymore. The goal wasn't to be in pain but to be closer to my pain, when this one occured, so I could hug myself and move my body to express my feelings and heal. . I share this today because we all come to yoga for a reason. It might be pain, it might me because it is trendy right now and everyone is doing it and it seems cool, but anyway yoga is the most awesome tool I have found to release, let go and found out the best in me.

If you wonder if this photo has been modified, yes it has 😜 But I just wanted that little hat so much aha πŸ˜‚ Anyway check out my new article about my Christmas wishlist of yogi books this year! If you have any other recommendation, I am super open too! Have a great week everyone! 😘
My saver every damn day 😍 I started using Neti Pot recently after practicing yoga and I can say with certainty that after the practice itself the neti pot has been one hell of a life changer for me on the way to breathe better ❀ . do you know about it?
The first one you read can be your mantra for today ❀
Exactly the feeling I had this afternoon when going to an event my intuition told me not to go to. . Sometimes things do not happen because there are not meant for you right now. . It does not mean it is forever but it might be later or never. . My daily reminder when I feel a door closing: lett go and don't be sad because another story awaits to happen and be told. More challenging but also more exciting. More umpredictable, scary but more rewarding. ✨
This quote is something I have heard numerous time during my Yoga Teacher Training and it often pops up in my mind every now and then when needed. And when my intuition wants me to see further than the obstacle. ✨ Question that often comes: 'I am afraid to act on these or these matters. Why is it happening to me?' = Victime mode, there is nothing I can do, I am dependant of what the universe wants me to do. VS 'What is this teaching me?' = What can I learn from this situation? What limiting self-beliefs I need to work on in order to move on and exploit my full potential. = I control my own destiny, I am not dependant of anything except my thoughts . Since a few days, I have started doing my Future-Self Journal by @the.holistic.psychologist and I have already find it helpful. Working on one limiting self-belief at the time, I am slowly unlocking things in me that have been deeply ingrained, deeply programmed. It is hard work but it is teaching me so much. So from the victim mode, I am trying to seek what I can learn from this situation or this self belief. . I find that work deeply inspiring and motivating as I am just a young woman in her 20s just trying to learn and discover more about herself. ✨ Are you as deeply fascinated as me with the power of the mind and heart? ❀
