My new VISA for India just arrived 🙏🏽 and I will soon be starting another deep yoga journey. So happy!
Yoga found me way back… ☺️ when, on a beautiful day on my first trip to India in 2004, the owner of my guesthouse in Varanasi started his sunrise practice on his balcony, overlooking the Ganges river ✨ and I very naturally joined.
The light was beautiful, Hashish was welcoming & kind, and I loved the experience. That morning was the start of a month of daily sunrise practice on that balcony, with dolphins and dead bodies passing us by in the holy Ganga. My feet always happy to meet the mat and guide me to myself.
⭐️ This photo was taken much later, when in 2013 I moved from the beautiful island where I was living in Cabo Verde… all the way to India. One day at sunset in Africa, I decided I wanted to jump over 3 continents and go experience the Maha Khumba Mela 💫 and have a massive communal dip in the Ganges at midnight of the mighty full moon.
Soon after the Kumbha, I went back to Rishikesh. Soon after that I started my 200h yoga training course at an ashram in Nashik. 📸 This photo is from the last day of that course. It was so beautiful. I think we all did 108 surya namaskars that morning!!
✨ Now… Recently, on the day that Jupiter entered the sign of Cancer, I stretched my yoga mat here at home, started my practice, and by the time I got to shavasana, I had a clear plan to go back to Rishikesh to study with my old teacher Surinder Singh. A couple of days after, I had registered for the 300h yoga course.
It will soon be time to go ✨ and I can’t wait!
