Mind Your Practice with Zuza

🌴 Why intense workouts aren’t always the best choice in places like Goa…
Hot, humid climates put extra stress on your body. High-intensity workouts (HIIT, heavy lifting, long cardio sessions) can lead to:
⚠️ Faster dehydration
⚠️ Overheating & fatigue
⚠️ Higher risk of burnout or injury
Instead, tune into the environment 🌊
Go for movement that supports your body, not fights the climate:
✨ Pilates – builds strength without exhausting you
✨ Yoga – improves flexibility, breath, and recovery
✨ Healty Spine – perfect for posture & long-term health
💡 You feel like they're not enough?
Relax, all these classes can be done with more intensity, do example you can apt for flow or power yoga — but keep it moderate still! In humid weather, slow it down a bit, focus on breath, and avoid pushing to extremes.
🌿 In places like Goa, fitness should feel like balance, not punishment.
P.S.
No pain - no gain is a... bu****it 🥲

Waking up before sunrise 🌅
Welcoming a new day with fresh energy.
Energy flows within us and all around us —
where breath goes, where movement flows,
that’s where qi (prana) follows.
Since practicing Qigong with Lee Holden,
even though the movements are so simple…
I’ve noticed more flexibility,
more energy, and a lighter, happier mood ✨

Slowly, I begin to wake
From a terrible dream,
From a sea of apathy,
Exhausted, endless,
With an outstretched hand
Begging for help.
I was drowning for so long
That even breathing aches,
Yet the will to live
Beats within me again,
In the rhythm of freedom,
Of independence.

I fell in love. Again. Deeply.
Qigong. So easy. So natural.

About me
My name is Zuzanna — you can call me Zuza.
I am Polish, and for many years India has been my home.
When I was eight years old, I remember a moment of awakening.
A simple but unsettling question appeared in me:
Who am I, really?
That question stayed.
Through Christianity, into which I was born.
Through Buddhism, where I first found inner peace.
Through yoga, where I felt a sense of wholeness.
Through Hindu ta**ra, which taught me about power and responsibility.
Each tradition offered an answer.
Each answer was slightly different.
And recently, something softened.
Instead of asking only: “Who am I?”, "how to embody the freedom?"...
I found myself asking,
“How can I cultivate compassion?”
That shift felt like coming home.
After years of travelling across continents and spiritual systems,
I realised I had always been home — within myself.
Today, my practice is rooted in awareness, embodiment and compassion.
I have been teaching since 2009,
working in both Poland and India.
I completed teacher trainings in four different yoga schools,
studied non-dual Shaiva Ta**ra with Christopher Wallis and Sally Kempton, going deeper with Adyasanti, Alan Watts, Lama Yeshe, Thich Bhat Hanh, Pema Chodron and others...
and I am also a certified fitness and movement instructor.
Mind Your Practice is not about one system.
It is about conscious movement, integration and a mature relationship with the body and mind.
Movement that regulates.
Practice that supports.

Living in India, I often hear complaints about garbage and air pollution. Fingers are quickly pointed at the government.
Less often comes the question: what can I do differently?
Clean streets don’t come from political decisions alone — they come from everyday choices made by people.
Clean air won’t appear without a willingness to accept some discomfort: fewer cars, more sharing, more responsibility.
This is the paradox: we want change, but without touching our comfort.
And yet, every traditional spiritual path begins with rules.
Discipline reshapes perception. Only then does freedom emerge.
The absence of rules is not freedom.
It is chaos.

I’ve been living in India for 11 years, and one thing that still deeply surprises me is the approach to law and responsibility.
Situation 1:
A man is stopped by an angry crowd after an accident he did not cause. His phone is damaged, he is forced to withdraw money as “compensation,” and only later does the police confirm his innocence. The money is never returned.
Situation 2:
A pedestrian suddenly runs in front of a slowly moving car. The driver brakes immediately. Police and the pedestrian herself confirm it was not his fault — yet he is still required to pay for her medical treatment.
In contrast, in my home country in Europe:
I once caused an accident myself. Police assessed the situation and fined me. Clear responsibility, clear consequences.
Rules matter.
They create safety, stability, and trust.
Lack of rules is not freedom.
Every traditional spiritual path is built on discipline — not to limit us, but to change our perception. Only then can real freedom exist.
