NEW YORK

Before getting to this day, what's going on now, I wanna share some last year's highlights and one of them was definitely visiting one of my best friends in NYC. I went there to do some yoga research, visited studios and yoga classes, bought things for our studio and got inspired - but the best part was to just hang out with my soul sister! Here's some pics from the trip.


New York Brooklyn and the heatwave.






Yankee stadium.





Best spinach gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce. Mmmmm.

Highline park, old railway turned into a aerial greenway.

Can still see the old tracks, now covered by plants. Loved the place!

JR.
Visited this sweet yoga studio Abhyasa in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Try their gentle classes
if you happen to be there, I liked the calm pace and not too crowded classes.


Kirtana evening in Integral Yoga Institute, Manhattan. I also did couple of their classes
and found them very nice, dynamic but gentle at the same time. And their own food store
was awesome with a wide selection of different organic foods. 

Rainy day but still SUPER hot weather.


At the end of the trip my feet were covered with plasters! The heat combined with humid
weather wasn't the best for my turist feet.

Studying yoga in the rooftop of my friend's flat while she was at the university. Not bad,
couch and all!


Thanks for taking such good care of me, I will be back! xxx

FRENCH MOUNTAIN WALK

It was good to go to a half a day walk out in the beautiful nature which surrounded our yoga
retreat area. Here's some pics but they don't make justice to the incredible view we had finally
up in the mountain 1600 m high!

GLOWING BALANCE INTERVIEW

I was asked by Merja to participate in her interview series "Soul Searching and Self-Love Sunday", for people for whom creativity and self-care matters. I was excited first of all to hear that Merja has been reading my blog for some years now and to answer the interesting questions she had for me. It made me reflect on my own thoughts again and opened new ideas. Check the interview here and please ask if you readers have any further questions! Loving Wednesday!

LE TARDOUN - YOGA RETREAT

Arriving to the retreat center you could just feel all the stress and stiffness flowing to
the ground, Mother Nature turning it into positive energy. 


Our yoga shala hidden behind the trees.


Janne our teacher and the group.

Hahahha I want a similar t-shirt! My thoughts on yoga too - yoga changed my life so that
sometimes I think how easy it would be just to not-think, not-feel, not-analyze. But when
you once start it, let yoga in your life, it never leaves. Luckily so! But it's not easy, nice
and fun every day, all the time. But under the dirt is a gem waiting to be discovered.

Jani the guinny pig. 

The course wasn't all about asana but also about pranayama, meditation and chanting.
The day's were scheduled very well and there was just enough of yoga but also
time for yourself, time to reflect, relax and enjoy.

We all have our own ways to relax. This is one!

NICE - BRAUX BY TRAIN

Nice. Nice.


Emma's crazy cool necklace. Check out her yoga courses, Emma just has it! Just heard that
she graduated the Slow Yoga degree that is organized by our teacher Janne Kontala, whose course we were now going to in France.

Arriving to a near by village close to our last destination - Le Tardoun.
