THE BEST YOGA STUDIO IN THE HAGUE
I have seen quite a number of yoga studios and spaces, believe me! But this one is the best of all! It is not the same every day, and on a windy morning can make one feel uncomfortable. But that is how life goes...
Today it was perfect, nothing more to wish... I even thought that yogis would spoil the scene. But we were not a crowd today and had an easy going enjoyable session.
See you the next practice! 🙏🕉🕉🕉

The best yoga studio ever! This morning, at the beginning of the class for the lucky.
Pristine and endless space, luminous and tender...The thrill of being deeply in love with just emptiness. Stilling the outgoing mind effortlessly, we plunged into Yoga.
Singing OM we resurfaced from this transparent oneness back into shapes and colours, drank the salty wind and praised the Grace hoping for many happy returns.
Namastè

BUDDHA IN MY YOGA CLASS..

Her name is Ouba. She doesn't need Power Vinyasa but she prefers to come to the class because she is a faithful companion.

She already has everything that we are desperately and frantically trying to achieve in a yoga class: she is a master of JUST BEING.

She is wise, patient and forgiving. Not stirring or making a sound during the whole practice, she seems to meditate on "what the heck all these bodies around me are doing?" And in the end of this impossible mental exercise, she is still all sincere and genuine KINDNESS.

Ouba was trained as a guide dog for the blind but it turned out one of her eyes is not sharp enough to lead through the darkness... At least, through the physical one. So, she brightly qualified to guide through the DARKNESS of LIFE instead by becoming a buddy dog!! And she is the best buddy ever!

She makes every routine class quite special, and I am grateful to her for all the vibes and the naked insight she silently points at to my students: forget the teacher! Just do like me! JUST BE! You will be much better off! 😎

PURE WATER CHALLENGE COMPLETED... Want To Know My Experience?

Past Wednesday I completed my 7-day Pure Water Challenge. Just to remind, it was not a fast, I was eating as usual, vegan (have a look at my diet at Instagram ) but I drank only water and nothing else...

Such a trivial thing as drinking water... It doesn't sound like a challenge at all, and still... it turned out to become a real test.
Mostly because of the addiction to the strong stimulants, such as black coffee and green tea. The first couple of days were very tough and bumpy/grumpy.

The goal of this experiment was to provide the body with what it is to a large extent: JUST WATER. I was simply curious how my body would react to such a basic maintenance.

Now the test finished and a couple of days passed, I can share my observations. It goes without saying that drinking just water is a very beneficial attitude towards the body. The Body loves it because basically your whole purification system roughly combined of liver, kidneys and the lymphatic system is given a well deserved rest. For the whole week, I was just flushing pure water through my body, and it really responded well.

Most significant observation related to yoga is that from Monday on (5 days into the test) I started experiencing an increased unusual flexibility which I even mentioned in my Yin Yoga class on Monday evening. Also on Thursday, during the Beach Yoga practice, I mentioned to my fellow practitioners that my body felt lean, pliable and stretchable in a way that I noticed as unusual.

Also my joints felt less 'sticky' and 'rusty'. I was used to various sounds in my joins (like soft screeching, squealing and popping) but they definitely became either less audible or disappeared completely. Past Friday night (2 days after the challenge was finished) I had an extremely flexible body during my personal Yin Yoga practice (around 23:00).

My guess is that the water treatment has flushed and cleaned the whole fluid content of my body and released it from toxines and impurities.

Besides, I started waking up before the alarm went off, completely recovered and energetically recharged. There have been also some other beneficial signes which I spare you here otherwise nobody will read this post till the end.

After the challenge I drink herbal infusions, and a cup or two coffee/green tea per day. And I also plan to have another week of Pure Water only soon. So, if you wish to join me, let me know!

Namasté, enjoy your weekend and yoga practice! Stay healthy, be happy 🙏💖

PURE WATER CHALLENGE

Past Wednesday I dared to commit myself to a challenge that some would stamp as ridiculous or stupid, a nonsense or a combination of the previous. However some may think that it is too easy and not a challenge at all.

Without further ado, I decided to DRINK ONLY WATER for one week. It's not a fast, so I eat normally (which can be attested at ). I just drink nothing else except pure water.

The reason behind the challenge is not to test my willpower. I am simply curious how my body will respond to this test, treatment or pleasure... I am not sure yet.

As most of us know, our bodies are largely water, about 60-70%. During an intense physical exercise, muscles could be as much as 90% water!!! So, bodybuilders be aware of what you are pumping in your biceps..

Another heartbreaking fact about water is that humans are experiencing a huge shortage of clean drinking water while poring 100.000 liters of water into a single kilogram of beef meat!! And some 750 liters into a kilogram of wheat... Oh yes, unfortunately you are reading it right 😲🤤😴.

I am now the third day into the challenge and it's tough. Much more difficult than I expected. First of all, the lack of coffee and green tea makes me feel very low on energy. It seems I want to sleep all day. But I am sure, this will pass. Still, this level of addiction is quite a surprise to me because my coffee consumption is moderate: 3-4 soya cappuccinos per day.

Secondly, it's a discovery how much time is wasted around drinking and 'enjoying' a small cup of coffee. Actually, it's a ritual that prescribes the right setting, the right mood, the expectation, the perfect company, "a moment for yourself ", etc. etc.

I will let you know if I manage till next Wednesday. If anyone wants to join me, I would appreciate. 🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️🤗🕉

Een perfecte dag voor strand yoga... Op het Zuiderstrand bij Miller's (strandslag 7) waren wij vanochtend met 9 mensen samen yoga aan het beoefenen. Het thema 'Verbinding met alle elementen' kan geen betere setting hebben.
