Last week, I spent time with my best friend Alex who came to visit me from Berlin.
Im still in deep gratitude and it reminded me what is acctualy a friendship. it reminded me of something I think we all deeply need as human beings:
Real connection.
The kind where nothing has to be filtered.......Where silence is comfortable.
Where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself, or pretend to be okay all the time.
The kind of friendship where both people give strength to each other.
Where you grow together through different phases of life.
Where distance, time, or change never really break the bond.
And somehow, this connected so much with the previous reel I shared about yoga beyond the mat.
Because yoga philosophy is not only about poses or flexibility.
It’s also about how we live.
How we treat ourselves.
And how we treat others.
In yoga, there are principles called the YAMAS.
Simple teachings that guide human relationships and inner peace.
Ahimsa / kindness and non-harming
Satya / honesty and truth
Asteya / respect and not taking from others
Brahmacharya / balance and conscious energy
Aparigraha / trust, freedom, and not holding too tightly
And while I’m still learning all of this myself…I realised that nurturing our friendships is yoga too.
Being present.
Supporting each other.
Listening.
Showing up.
Making people feel safe, seen, and loved.
Kind Reminder, that is part of the practice too 🤍
