Getting on the mat is sometimes the hardest thing. Once on it, practice is easy(er). But oh that process to get on it...all the things I say in my head why I can't do certain things or why I will do them later. When it's a better time. When it's more healed...bla bla bla #procrastination par excellence. In the end it's all just fears. Fear of the foot maybe not being healed yet. What if I hurt it again. What if I won't do good?...How is that like my life? 🙄 And I'm so done with that. So today I choose to reprogram, to rewrite that. To say. To think "But what if...?" What if I take it slow? What if I explore what is possible? What if I do the things I can today? What if I listen to my body telling me it's limits instead of listening to the limiting believes of my mind? What if I just have to start, again and again, with slow steps, to make it happen? ...I've heard this so many times in class and even taught it, I tend to forget when life takes over...So, just for today I'm getting back to practice, letting gentleness guide me instead of fear of failure...and then, the biggest step of it all, take it off the mat and live it! 🙏🏻💜📿 #onestepattime #healing #backonthemat #analogy #howisthatlikemylife #yoga #practicepracticepractice #bali #onepicadayfromsas

When I have no plans, life takes me down roads I didn't even know where there, where I meet the most amazing people going the same way. Saying good bye to them and the countries I meet them in, is always hard. Because it feels like part of me is staying there. With them. They become part of my life. My worldwide family. But I also know that I take part of them, part of the country, with me. The lessons, the laughter, the love we shared, the roads we've travelled on. Inside and out. Knowing that we're all connected makes it easier. We'll see each other again. Maybe in the same country. Maybe somewhere else, because we're all looking in the same direction. #grateful for all the amazing people I've met in this beautiful country. #Thankful for this country to take me in. Let me explore its beauty. it's culture and for the shelter it's given me when I needed it the most 🙏🏻💜 #itstime #srilanka #onepicadayfromsas (at Sri Lanka)

Who says when you plant a seed the growth path is always up? Growing up-wards, towards the sky? What if there is not only one way? That while reaching for the sky, trying different things, going different ways, new roots, different roots come down? Strengthening the trunk, more and more. Becoming a base so rooted in diversity, still coming from one. Strongly standing in the winds of time and facing the storms that come? What if?...it is! 🌳 #natureisourteacher #botanicalgardens #nature #exploring #srilanka #onepicadayfromsas (at Royal Botanical Gardens, Peradeniya)

Nature. You surround me. Your touch heals me. Within you, I feel free. At my best. Taken care of... #teafields🍃 #exploring #srilanka #onepicadayfromsas (at Nuwara Eliya)

Planting a tree amongst trees. Blending in and still be different. Swaying in the wind and still be rooted. Looking into the jungle and still feel the water around me. Knowing there is only one thing that I can influence: me in the present moment! 🌴🌲🌳 #yoga #treepose #treesaroundtheworld #srilanka #onepicadayfromsas (at Sri Yoga Shala)

A haircut is about trust. I realized that since my undercut. When a man with a super sharp razor blade starts cutting art out of my hair, it's not only about how it will look later on. Hair grows back. But right then it is about trusting him to be gentle with a blade on the skin of my head. To know and feel how to draw it without drawing blood. Surrendering to what there is and not think of the many possibilities that could happen...Looked at my thoughts that popped up and relaxed into the art of making, to see the beauty that can come out of it. Love the end result 💜 #mandalaart #srilanka #onepicadayfromsas (at Mirissa, Sri Lanka)

#ganesha the remover of obstacles seems to pop up more frequently lately. This time reminding me that removing obstacles is creating space. But how to do that? By focusing on the breath. Being aware of each and every one. Thereby, the attention is taken away from the thinking…creating a gazillion little spaces between the first breath and the very last one…and in that space anything can happen. What exactly, that is then our #choice! #breathwork #transforming #practicepracticepractice #srilanka #onepicadayfromsas

Morning practice...each their own choice of workout 😉 #surfing #notyet #healing #practicepracticepractice #onlyone #srilanka #onepicadayfromsas
