Joumana Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga Practitioner and Teacher in Dubai

13/11/2024

Ekam, inhale. Yesterday, I woke up to the news that one of my teachers had suddenly passed away. For the whole day I struggled to put my thoughts or feelings into words - I still cannot believe he is gone.

Every trip I made to Mysore to practice with Sharath was special, but I will never forget my first in 2012 - “Who’s your teacher?”, he asked. I said “Darby”. “Good”, he said… and I quickly added “and now you’re my teacher”, and he smiled. When it was time to leave, I asked him if he would ever visit Dubai to teach. He said “keep coming back, open a shala, grow a community, then I will come”. I jumped in, heart first, opened a yoga studio, and did everything I could to keep returning to Mysore. I craved being in his presence, even though I questioned so many things along the way.

Years have passed since my last visit and much has changed in my life, but my love for yoga remains, largely because of his influence. I had hoped to go to Mysore again soon. I am heartbroken that I will never hear him say “one more”, “samasthitih”.

Fly high, Sharathji. Dve, exhale 🕊️

I am blessed.
I am blessed.

Baby #3 is growing in my womb 🙏🏻

Getting back on the mat
after giving birth,
after mourning,
in the early morning,
midday,
for a quick evening flow,
with children running around,
and an endless to-do list,
feels like coming home…

Always.

What a productive morning, so far!
• Made baked oatmeal breakfast for the first time
• Filmed the whole process
• Edited the clips into a 1-min video
• Posted it on Reels (my 1st one! 😱)
• Fed it to the girls

Thanks for the inspiration, 😋
Check out the video in my reels section.

Served the kids baked oatmeal for breakfast, inspired by !

I used jumbo oats, chia seeds, mashed banana, frozen wild blueberries, cinnamon, pinch of salt and coconut milk. I eyeballed the measurements!

Baked in the oven for about 10 mins and honestly the whole apartment smelled like cinnamon heaven 😋

Thankfully, the girls LOVED this!

Starting the week with an interesting thought…

What if the purpose of throwing myself into learning the practice and traditions of yoga was to learn how to surrender to my children?

If I were to describe 2021 in one word, I would seriously struggle.

The sad truth is that this year was full of pain. But… it was also filled with so many beautiful moments and memories.

Here are 10 of my favorite photos from the last year. Although they may not be clear to you what they represent, each photo tells a story of a time where we chose love and happiness and even when it almost felt impossible.

Here’s to 2022, a year of healing and more love and happiness.

Merry everything and happy always

I love being active, and that can mean getting on my mat and more recently working out at F45. It also means I love cooking, going out, playing with my daughters.

I’m not very good at taking naps, or slowing down in any way. And when I get sick, I dislike being idle. But sometimes, and very rarely, my body shuts down and forces me to slow down.

So with the little ones falling sick over the last 2 weeks, we’ve been on very little sleep. And of course, I eventually caught whatever they had.

Today, I felt like I could breathe better so I got on my mat after 5 days of not being able to practice. Here’s what I did:
1️⃣ I only practiced sun salutations and standing poses - took me about 25 mins
2️⃣ I spent 5 mins doing different lunge stretches
3️⃣ I spent 10 mins in pigeon pose on both sides, followed by a couple more seater hip opening stretches
4️⃣ I practiced seated meditation for 5 mins
5️⃣ i went to F45 in the evening

Maybe I should have skipped #5 😂 I don’t think my lungs were ready for cardio day!

Today, we celebrate one whole month of having Elena in our lives. That’s one month of being a family of four ♥️

Our nanny reminded me of the outfit Tara wore when I took her one month-photo way back when, and she insisted I do the same with Elena. What a blessing it is to have our nanny in our lives, as she reminds me that it’s the little things that are the best things.

Our sunshine has been with us for a few weeks now and has completely stolen our hearts. Mami, daddy, and big sister are SO in love.

Elena was born on November 9th at 6:49pm ☀️

Get ready for baby spam! Ps: her name is pronounced Eh-leh-nah 😌
