But hey — maybe it’s your body reminding you it’s time to come back 🧘‍♀️

Sometimes all you need is the right place, the right energy, and a little guidance… and that’s exactly what My Yogic Adventure retreats are for ✨

People often turn to meditation only when life becomes difficult. But the truth is: meditation is just as important when things are going well. 😌

When we feel stressed, overwhelmed, or lost, meditation can calm the mind and help us regain clarity. Yet its real power appears when we practice it even in peaceful moments. During good times, meditation deepens our awareness, strengthens inner balance, and teaches us to truly appreciate what we have instead of rushing through it.

By meditating when life feels good, we build a stronger, calmer mind that will be more resilient when challenges eventually come. It helps us stay grounded, grateful, and present — not only surviving difficult moments, but fully experiencing the beautiful ones. 🧘‍♀️✨

If you’ve been walking this path of yoga for some time, you have for sure encountered people who put insane expectations on you, especially as a yoga teacher, but I guess also as “just” a practitioner.

Probably you also put some big expectations on yourself, what you should and shouldn’t do as a “good yogi”. Whatever any of these two words mean.

Once, a friend asked me something about Kundalini awakening and I said I could answer only with the information I read from books, not with the knowledge that came from my own experience. He was appalled.

He asked me if I wasn’t ashamed to stand in front of people and pretend to teach them “yoga” without having had the experience of Kundalini awakening. True story, I swear.

Another time a random person criticized my messiness wondering how I can be so messy as a yoga teacher.

I don’t even want to recount the numberless occasions somebody gave me a look “oh, you’re the teacher?” letting their eyes linger a moment longer on my body. Occasionally even verbalizing the reasoning behind their shock.

Without going into the philosophy of why solidifying any concept, including that of a “yogi,” goes against some of the main teachings, I want to start a list of things you don’t need to justify or explain to anyone as a yoga teacher/practitioner because they don’t make you any less of a yogi, they just make you a human.

Add your examples in the comments.

You don’t need to justify if:
* you don’t find time, energy, or motivation to practice every day
* you experience a full array of human emotions, including anger, sadness, loneliness, desperation, etc.
* you go through the highs and lows of life
* you mess up
* you don’t always choose what is the best and healthiest for your body and mind
* you aren’t strong or flexible enough to do the challenging poses
* you have a body that Lulu Lemon wouldn’t hire to be their model
* you have or don’t have Lulu Lemons ;)
* sometimes you feel you hate yoga/meditation

Do you have a place where you keep returning year after year? What keeps you coming back?

I've been doing retreats on Tara Mountain since 2016 and I can't imagine not having a retreat here at least once a year. This really is the Magic Mountain with her lakes, forrests, meadows full of wild flowers, starry nights, and gorgeous views whichever way you turn.

For the 15th time, in July I am taking you again to this piece of paradise. The link is in Bio, but you can also send me a message and I'll send you a direct link.

Where is your Magic Mountain?

Are you a White Lotus fan?
I personally am not 😬 so when I was researching about best places to visit in Sicily and when Taormina kept popping up on each list and one of the selling points was that this is where the second season of the show was filmed, I kept rolling my eyes over. 🙄
I imagined Taormina to be this very posh and polished, over-crowded and charmless place. I didn't even feel like visiting, but I am so happy that in the end I did! 🥰
What I found was a beautiful old town perched on top of a hill with incredible views, beautiful architecture, great food, great hospitality even despite it still being a very touristy place. Everwhere you looked, there was so much beauty - their gorgeous balconies, incredible coastal views, ancient, medieval, and renaissance architecture, beautiful cafes and restaurants. Taormina simply stole my heart. ❤️
I decided that it was more than worthed to spend a couple of days in the town and soak up all the splendor, so I offered a two extra days add on to the week of the yoga retreat, where we just go full on dolce vita mode. And everybody loved it!
So this year, I am doing the same! The cherry on top is an unbelieveable villa I found for all of us to share, which is guaranteed to make you feel like a Taormina princess/prince.
We'll be in Taormina from the 15th till the 17th just before the yoga retreat starts.

Sicily is full of surprises at every corner. ❤️💛 How many of these were you familiar with?

1. 🏛 Over the span of three millenia these are the civilizations that have left their mark on Sicily: Ancient Sicilians, Phoenicians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Swabians, Angevins (French), Aragonese (Spanish), Habsburgs & Burbons, and finally unified Italy. Some stayed for centuries, some very shortly, but they all left their mark on the island.

2. 🤌 Some linguists (and probably some not-necessarily-liguist Sicilians) consider that the language spoken on the island isn't merely a dialect of Italian but a distinc language in its own right. Can I have some thoughts on this from my Italian/Sicilian friends?

3. 🌋 I found some statistics that say there are close to 300 days a year with some activity from Etna, including mild, moderate, and severe activity. But you don't need the statistics to understand how often Etna is smoking and glowing - you just need to see a video of completely uninterrupted daily life in Catania as smoke is rising from the craters. No body cares, locals are just going around their business as usual, not even taking a photo. 😁

4. 🌾 Probably the most known story from Greek mythology that's happening on Sicilian soil is the abduction of Persephone (daughter of Demeter, goddess of fertility) by Hades (god of the underworld). According to the myth, he saw beautiful Persephone on a meadow close to Lake Pergusa (although some other localities in Sicily are mentioned in different sources). Demeter was suffering terribly because of the loss of her daughter and as a consequence all the nature was dying. Long story short, other gods interveened and Hades alowed Persephone to spend one part of the year with her mother, but still had to stay in the otherworld during the other half of the year and this is how the myth explains the change of seasons. There are other iteresting mythological stories connected to Sicily - for me the most fascinating one involves cyclops. Drop me a comment if you want me to share it. 😉
