Our Flashmob in De Standaard<3

                   Celebrating International Yoga Day!

Chronic conditions like pain,depression,anxiety,tinnitus
are often not present upon awakening.
This freedom from chronic pain may last for a few seconds
before the community of cells 'contract' as they re-enter
their stories,their dramas.
When do i become as free as the Ocean?
When do i break 'this' identification?
When i no longer expend my energy defending,upholding
and protecting the image of myself.

Namaste

You are not meant to be Perfect..
You are meant to be Complete..
But its kind off hard to feel Complete if you are
trying to be Perfect..

As i stand at the top of my mat ..i take up 'what is' in loving
embrace.
I realize that in releasing the 'doing' i receive the Infinite.

'Awakening Intelligence'

Then i took a deep breath and the wise heart reminded me
i am who i am .
My journey is unique and so is yours.
All maps lead somewhere.
Which ones we follow truly do matter..they shape who we
become.
Two or three years from now which body/mind state will
be your reality ?

This weekend we will explore how it feels to move in a relaxed,
curious way without efforting or grasping.
Saturday morning's class will be at 11h-12h
In BasicFit Berchem
Sunday morning at 11h30-12h30 in BasicFit Mechelsesteenweg

No matter where you think you are
I challenge you to fearlessly follow your passion.
The longer i travel along a route without any awarness
of the choices i must make ..the harder it is to Self-correct,

Ring the bells that still can ring ..
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything..
And that is how the Light gets in.

Leonard Cohen

‪

What does it mean to hold space for someone?
It means we are willing to walk alongside another person
in whatever journey they are on without judging them or
making them feel inadequate.
When we hold space we open our hearts.

Holding Space this weekend heart emoticon

Sunday morning at 11h30-12h30 in BF Mechelsesteenweg

In Gratitude 

June 2014 in Paros,Greece 

Space

When we open ourselves to receive the unbounded spaciousness
within each breath, we start to receive what truly sustains us.
We invent and discover never ending Space.

Sometimes i can soar with my thoughts,
with my practice ,my body,my influence and my contributions.
And sometimes i,just like everyone else just want to hide my face
behind my hands.
Yoga teaches us a lot about love and self-acceptance.
Yoga has no judgement.
Yoga has no disability.
Yoga has no labels.
Yoga has no gender.
Yoga has no preference.

Namaste <3
