🌿 Yoga - a Legacy of Love 🌿

There are encounters that change the course of a life. For me, Yoga has been this encounter. An encounter that arrived in my life in the form of a sacred sharing between a mother and her daughter 👩‍👦

After the loss of my stepdad, an immense emptiness settled in. I entered in a deep silence. For months, I was not able to speak. I had to give up the last year of high school because I was being harrassed as I was skeletic and unable to socialise. I went from the hyperactive social little girl to a complete and dark void of suffering and pain 🌀

It was already my 4th high school : I was definitely not made for the educative system. A proof for many parents that, with a lot of love and trust, there is still hope⚡️

That’s when my mum, in all her gentleness, opened the door to a practice that was about to transform my entire life 🌬

She offered me that light, that breath, that path toward healing. And it all started as a divine feminine reunion as we were practicing every Sunday with my grandmother, my mum and my sister. Sunday morning.. The day of the Sun🌞

If I knew at that time that it would allow me to heal, allow me to travel the entire world, to learn and teach in soooo many different places : jails, associations, sports club, companies, universities, schools, hotels.... My God ! It has been such a incredible journey 🥹😯

For me, it wasn’t just a practice — it was a rebirth. The mat became a sanctuary, a sacred space where tears could flow freely, where my breath found rhythm again, where my heart slowly rebuilt itself 🫶

Day after day, pose after pose, I learned to reconnect with life, with my body, with the present moment. And with every breath, I could feel a whisper of her voice — her wisdom, grace and unconditional love ♥️

Mummy.. You always trusted me.. Even when I was trying all sorts of s**t, even through my drug & alcohol period. You have been a rock in all storms 🌪

You have been my guide and my inspiration. I'm so proud to have a mum like you, who never gave up even when we were losing everything ❤️‍🔥

🌳 Tree Pose 🌳

💫 Rooted in Balance, Growing in Grace 💫

In Vrksasana, the Tree Pose, we embody the meeting of Earth and Sky 🌏

Rooted firmly through one foot, we awaken stability and strength in the legs, tone the core, and open the hips 🤸‍♂️

As we rise tall, spine aligned and heart lifted, the body finds harmony.. and the mind follows 💆‍♀️

Tree Pose cultivates focus, patience, and inner calm.
It trains the nervous system to remain centered even when life sways 💥

Like a tree, we learn that true balance isn’t about stillness — it’s about soft resilience, about finding peace in movement.

Take it easy.. Breathe. Root. And grow 🌿

✨ The Sacred Rituals of India : The Art of Pooja ✨

In India, a Pooja (or Puja) is more than a ritual — it’s a sacred moment of connection between the human and the divine, a conversation between the soul and the divine 🌺

Each gesture, each flower, each flame offered represents gratitude, devotion, and the intention to bring harmony between body, mind, and spirit. Its a way if saying thank you to life itself 🙌

During a Pooja, offerings like incense, ghee lamps, water, fruits, and flowers are presented to the divine as symbols of purity and surrender. The sound of mantras, the rhythm of the bell, and the scent of sandalwood create an atmosphere where time seems to pause — reminding us that the sacred can be found in simple acts of presence and love 💫

When you witness a Pooja, you don’t just see a ritual. You see the soul of India — the art of worship woven into daily life, where devotion becomes beauty, and beauty becomes prayer 🙏

Whether performed at home or in a temple, every Pooja invites us to reconnect with something greater — with nature, with the divine, and with ourselves 🌿💚

✨ Taking care of our skin is also a way of practicing yoga – it’s about presence, balance, and self-love. Our skin reflects how we nurture ourselves inside and out.

🌱 Natural rituals like clay masks help to cleanse and ground us, while placing cucumber slices on the eyes soothes and refreshes both body and mind. These small gestures are reminders to slow down, breathe, and honor the temple we live in.

💧 When we choose natural care, we connect with the earth, with simplicity, and with our own inner glow. Beauty is not only what we see in the mirror, but the calm and vitality we cultivate within.

✨ Twists are more than just a stretch ✨️

They are a vital gift to your spine ⚡️

🎯 When we rotate the spine, each vertebra gently glides, nourishing the intervertebral discs and improving mobility

🎯 Twists stimulate blood flow, hydrate connective tissues, and release tension from the paraspinal muscles

🎯 They also enhance spinal alignment, supporting the natural curves that protect us in every movement.

On a deeper level, twists stimulate the abdominal organs, improving digestion and detoxification, while balancing the nervous system through gentle compression and release 💆‍♀️

Twisting mindfully is not about going as far as you can : it’s about creating space between each vertebra, awakening circulation and restoring vitality to the spine 🌿

Take every twist as an invitation to lengthen, breathe, and reset your body from the inside out 🌀

🌀 The pelvis and hips form the structural and energetic center of the body 🌀

Anatomically, the pelvis is a strong bowl-shaped structure that supports the spine, protects abdominal organs, and anchors powerful muscles 💪

The hip joints are ball-and-socket articulations designed for stability and freedom of movement : walking, bending, twisting, and grounding us in daily life 🎯

Key muscles like the iliopsoas, glutes, and pelvic floor work together to stabilize posture, support breathing, and channel energy between the lower and upper body⚡️

When these muscles are balanced, strong and supple, they create harmony in the spine, digestion, circulation, and even emotional well-being 💆‍♀️

In yoga, hip-opening practices not only stretch connective tissues and release tension but also awaken the flow of energy through the Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana), linked to creativity, sensuality, and deep emotional release 🌬

Caring for your hips means caring for your foundation, both physically and energetically 🌿

Your hips are the sacred gateway. When they are open and free, the energy flows effortlessly - awakening the Kundalini that rests at the base of your spine 🐉

What we call "Kundalini" is our potential energy. It is often described as a coiled serpent of life force, originally located at Muladhara : the Root Chakra🌹

This energy, when allowed to rise, moves through the Chakras. Expanding consciousness, creativity and vitality 🌈

Stiffness doesn't just limit your movement, it restricts the flow of Prana - life force itself. Tight hips can block this sacred river 🌀

Keep your hips supple : stretch, breathe, surrender and allow Shakti to rise and dance with grace 🌬

✨ Flexible hips, awakened spirit ✨️

🌙 Anjaneyasana - Chandra Namaskar🌙

🫶 Heart Opens, Hips Softens 🫶

In the quiet rhythm of the Moon Salutation,
We meet the lunge.
A sacred pause between Earth and Sky.

One knee grounded,
The other reaching forward,
We open the hips to let go,
We lift the heart to receive.

This is not just a stretch.
It is a gesture of trust.
A soft surrender to gravity.
An invitation to expand where we hold.
To soften where we resist.

As the moon waxes and wanes,
So does the energy within us.

This posture honors both :
The strength in our roots,
And the vulnerability in our chest.

To bow to the moon is to remember :
We are both movement and stillness,
Both fierce and tender,
Both grounded and free.

24/07/2025

Your spine is your life line 💫
It is your energy highway 🌀

Keeping it flexible means keeping your energy flowing freely.
Each twist, each bend, each stretch is not just a movement : it’s a message of care to your body 💆‍♀️
Every vertebra, every curve, carries life force throughout your entire body.

A mobile spine supports not just your posture, but your vitality and inner balance.
A flexible spine nourishes your nervous system, supports your breath, and keeps your energy flowing like a river 🌊

Each gentle twist, mindful bend and slow awakening stretch is an act of love towards your future self. A stiff spine ages us from within. A mobile spine keeps us vibrant, strong, and open to life 🫶

So today, roll your shoulders, lengthen through your crown, soften your back body.. and remember : movement is not just exercise — it’s medicine 🌬

Move with love, flow with grace, and let your spine dance with life, young and alive 💃

🫶 Heart & Hips opening movements 🫶

There’s something magical about sharing a Yoga flow with a partner… Breathing together, moving in sync, and finding balance not only in your poses but also in your connection. And when it’s all happening barefoot on fresh, soft grass under the open sky… pure happiness 🌿💛🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

💆‍♀️ Craniosacral therapy 💆‍♀️

A gentle, non-invasive hands-on approach that helps release tensions deeply rooted in the nervous system, to relieve pain & dysfunction. It focuses on releasing restrictions in the craniosacral system - the membranes & cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surround & protect the brain & spinal cord. We quickly understand how vital & important it is 🙌

My journey in India since 3 months has been totally turned towards learning :
•How the mind works & impacts the entire system 👁
•New methods to release traumas, to help people heal gently, efficiently 🫂
And.. The Universe made our paths cross again with Satyam, where another huge discovery took place ☄️

So, how does it work ? 🤓
Using soft touch, usually no more than 5g, through different parts of the body - including fascia. Doing so, we help the nervous system unwind, balance the body & restore its natural rhythm 🎶

We gently follow the "pulse", the rhythm of the CSF. Creating space for the body to activate its natural healing abilities — with presence, softness & deep listening.

It seems magical and it is !! It's actually the first system that appears in our mothers' womb. WATER IS LIFE !! 🩵💧

It's also deeply linked to the idea of Kundalini (heeey Yogic friends 🤗), as this fluid moves along spine and brain.

This subtle yet profound technique supports physical, emotional & energetic healing. It can help relieve migraines, chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, trauma imprints & much more — not by fixing, but by listening. We tune into the body's inner wisdom & let it guide the process 🌬

It was for me completely transformative. As the days passed, I could really feel how my nervous system relaxed. How my mind became more quiet. How everything surrounding me became more intense, alive. Nature, colors, people.. 🤝

This practice has taught us that healing doesn’t always require force — sometimes, the lightest touch is the most powerful.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing teacher, for guiding us with such wisdom, clarity & compassion. Your presence & teachings have opened a deeper path of connection to ourselves and to others. Forever grateful 🙏🫶
