The Nextdoor Yogini

02/09/2022

As a Yoga teacher I come across many students who are prejudiced for this holistic practice.

That is why starting this series of clearing some popular myths about Yoga.

Do you heard of any myth which you would want me to mention here...???

Feel free to drop it here in the comment section👇👇👇

PS: If you already respect this practice and know how powerful this practice is - I am willing to guide you on the mat. Feel free to drop a message to start your practice.

Two pictures, less than a month apart.

When I went for the opening ceremony, I was weirdly silent and was not able to express what I was feeling, I met my teachers first time in person. It was hard to believe that I made it to Surat just to see my teachers and witness their special day. I was over emotional, over happy and over shocked🙈

I forgot my stole there. I thought now it will take ages to go back and I lost all the hopes of getting the stole back.

I would have not believed that I will be back here in a month, that too for a month and even I will teach here. Honestly telling, I didn't even dream about it🙈

I was 100% satisfied with my online practice, but always had this desire to practice offline with Hitesh sir. Consciously and subconsciously I was manifesting this opportunity for so long and super strongly that universe made it possible when I had least hope to get it fulfilled.

I do believe in attracting the opportunities and blessings in life, it is just that the desire needs to be powerful. Now we need to keep on adding the pictures after pictures clicked at the same place in same pose, everytime I visit Surat - because now it is going to be frequent thing🥰

If I can do this, anybody can do this. I remember doing it little more than a year back in shala during my TTC, I felt it will take another lifetime to get into this pose, and here I am acing it atleast on one side, the other side should come soon (next 2-3years) though.

Keep practicing and you are one step closer, Always.

I realise I have come a long a way in my arm balancing journey.

There was a time, lifting both the legs in Kakasana was a big deal and when it happened it felt like magic.

I always thought I have weak arms and weaker wrists, but with each practice I prove that limiting belief wrong.

Never judge a posture by how it looks. I thought this is tough but with very few attempts, I got it. Still need to work on making the core stronger for better alignment.

Swipe left to know this posture little better.

What we see as bad at one point in time can turn out to be good for us, and what we see as good at another point in time can turn out bad for us. We should not judge any situation by its face value.

After being a mom, choosing yourself is alot difficult task.

Specially coming from the place where I have seen women living life and taking each decision to ultimately make sure everyone around is happy with them regardless of their happiness.

Is it easy!? To choose yourself despite of things you know will be talked behind your back, things that will be advised on your face.

No, it is tough to fight the battles inside you, to defeat the guilt, but will it be worth!? YES, it will be.

I want my daughter to not compromise on her own self and live for others, I want her to know she will never be able to fill other's cup from an empty cup. I want her to choose herself first everytime without any battle or hesitation.

Explained her the situation while leaving and took her permission, she is with the best moms(much much better than me) My mom and her Annu. I wish when she looks for inspiration around, I can be there giving her little bit of what I can. Looking forward to make her proud, because I am anyway a proud mom of the best daughter.

Love Love and only Love for you Keh,

Your imperfect Mom🥰

Even if your life isn’t perfect, build your gratitude like a muscle. If you train it now, it will only strengthen over time.

Initially it comes hard to see little positives among lot of things going wrong in your life.

Gradually as we try to shift our focus on the good, our mindset will change completely.

Not a great week!

Babies were sick one after the other, got the corn removed from the sole, sleeping schedule was messed up due to one or the other reason, at last to add up I caught the terrible cold and now not feeling like doing anything.

Today didn't want to miss the practice, so got on the mat and started with Vinyasa, and realised it is painful with the corn removed. So did 20 mins of Pranayama and few seated asana to start my day little better and I am so thankful to myself.

Pranayama is the last thing I would like to do while having cold but it made huge difference in my breathing right now.

Grateful that I made through this week😊

Completely raw pictures from my practice🙈

Practice is never as beautiful as it looks in the pictures shot for the gram.

When there is a lot in your heart, it is really hard to open your heart and let everything flow as it is supposed to.

Not in a good place in life, but my practice on the mat keeps me going and makes me feel closer to myself. Can't even imagine how life would have been without appearing on the mat!!

I had this belief that happy are those people who does party till late nights and get to wake up late in the morning! Rich are the people who can afford foods in five star, as I grew up realised that sleeping at 8 and having home cooked warm meal is true luxury. Had the ambitions to shoot stars and don't know what, now I try to wrap up the day as early as possible so I can watch the sunrise next morning. It makes me question myself many a times, am I ageing!!??

Initially didn't like the thought, but now if it is the way we age, I am looking forward to see myself at 40, where I get lot of time to eat meals in my own company, long deep sleep, enormous time to finish a book in a day and practice on the mat as much as I want.

Couldn't be more grateful to be where I am today. Result of all the good and bad parts of my life but this is exactly where I feel belongingness, and if you know me better, it is the most important part of what I want from life.
