Letting Go in order to Grow
Friendly reminder to not get confused and attached to directions. Sometimes even the best directions (and Google map guidance) tell you ”You have arrived at your destination” and you know for a fact that you have NOT. 😅
Just like a bow and arrow need to be drawn backwards in order to move forward, there are times in our lives where we might have to do the same. Or at least just stand still with the feeling of treading water and not going anywhere - and that is OK.
My favorite story (I was told it is a true story, but who knows ) is about the japanese bambu tree that needs 5 years to grow, and of those 5 years they remain under ground for 4 years and 9 months.
Only in the last 3 months they spurt and break the ground and grow to be used as the strongest material for houses and temples.
This story teaches us (true or not) about patience, faith, perserverance and our human potential if we continue to tend to what seems to be impossible.
This April is the last month (as I know it for now) that classes will be held live in Ananda Mandira Gong Yoga
I am grateful for the years in this lovely studio, and I will keep you posted on where I will find my next home from May.
It could be in a new yoga space.
Or outside on the amazing grass area in San Pedro beach area.
Or simply in my home in Guadalmina. (zoom and recordings will not be affected)
So, I appreciate your support this last month, please come share the energy, the space and the love we get from practicing together.
As always, Monday and Wednesday 19.00-20.15
Also, I am playing with ideas of how to spread my love for the Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) and the yogic philosophy (the Sutras), so let me know if these are subjects that also call you name and I keep you posted on live and on line classes.
Comment or inbox if you want the link for the zoom or the recordings and I follow up.
I will also keep you posted on my May half-day workshop, my Sweden classes in June, a Mallorca weekend in October (cross fingers) and as always Sri Lanka February 2025 (yes, time to let me know your interest already)
Namaste 🙏
