Today while discussing with a friend, I was asked what are the top five things that I have learned from yoga. So, I decided to write them down and share it with you:

1. Never give up
What is the ”impossible” of today will be the” easy” of tomorrow. As long as we always get up when we fall down, dust ourselves of and keep comping back to what we set ourselves out to do – progress and growth is inevitable!

2. Focus on what you want
Regardless of what it is that we want to achieve, it is of importance to find that mental image that makes us feel good, feel stronger and empowered. By moving towards that which we DO want, instead of away from that which we DON’T want, we spend our energy more wisely and are much more likely to succeed.

3. Get comfortable being uncomfortable
At times we may find ourselves struggling to get to the next level – be it in our physical practice, our career or our relationships with other people. If we want to be or do something different than what we already are, it means that we need to change the way we act. The breaking of habits and creation of new patterns of being means to step into the unknown, and that may be uncomfortable. However, that is where we find the real growth. So in order to really grow, we need to keep taking that step out of our comfort zone and get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

4. Letting go
This is one of the clichés in yoga. Just let it go! And there is a reason for it being a cliché. There is a big wisdom in these few words. However, letting it go does not mean backing down or giving up. Letting go means to be present to what is and what challenges that arises in just this moment. It means to allow whatever is occurring to take place without resisting or trying to change it. It means to drop any concerns with the past or future and give it your all in the here and now.

5. Stop comparing yourself to other people
We are all walking down different roads. We have all been given different bodies and different strengths and weaknesses. In comparing ourselves with others, we will always be able to find someone who is stronger, faster and smarter. The same thing goes for the opposite. Therefore, if we want to find something real and lasting to guide us for continuous growth in the long run, the only person that it makes any sense to compare with is ourselves.

What have YOU learned from your yoga practice? Please share and comment below!

Have a wonderful Friday, yogis and yoginis!

"Search Inside Yourself"

Riding the train back to my hometown for X-mas celebrations and spending the time increasing my knowledge about the benefits of mindfulness and meditation.

What you see here in my hand is a book describing the revolutionary course that is being taught to the employees at Google. Backed up by lots of delicious hard science, it shows us how much we have to gain a practice so simple as taking a few minutes a day for conscious breathing and what possibilities the neuroplasticity of the brain (the ability of the brain to rebuild and recreate itself) enable us to do. Here are a few:

*Down-regulate stress and anxiety response while simultaneously increasing your flow and sense of happiness
* Boosting your ability to stay focus and alert for longer times with more enery
* Gain higher resolution of your emotional processes and as a result increase your relationship with yourself and other people

I love the old-school Indian and Tibetan teachings as much as the next yogi, but damn, when you take mind-cultivation practice and mesh it up with western science and MRI's, I am one happy dude :)

Now, go kick ass! :D

Yoga for me is about becoming more aware of myself. It is about cultivating a focus and a dedication to become better than I was the day before. To constantly challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone and take the next step.

It is about anchoring oneself in ones body and increasing the knowledge of our strengths and limitations. And knowing that these limitations is something that we can overcome and in realizing our potential by continuously recomitting to doing which it takes to achieve our goals. A calm, focus and fierce mind.

In the words of Walt Disney "If you can dream it, you can do it"

Now go out into the world and kick some ass!

A wise man dropping bombs of wisdom
[Alan Watts feat. Einaudi on piano]

Figure out what it is that sets you on fire. What you want to be. What you want to do. How would you be spending your time if money was no obstacle?

Spend a little time each day doing that thing. Stretch a little further towards that which you desire and one day you will be there. Today is the one day that you have to make the choices that creates the rest of your life.

Choose to live large. Choose to laugh and share your laughter and joy with the world. Because the world needs people who have come alive.

Outside the storm is blowing. Inside there is peace.

Meditation/mindfulness is a very simple tool and there are numerous studies indicating that this is one of the most efficient and cheapest (Hey, it’s free!) ways to improve both your mental and physical health.

It does not have to be something complicated. Just sit down and close your eyes. Allow yourself to shift from doing into being. Focus on the sensation of your breathing. Become aware of yourself. Just being. Give yourself a few minutes of this and see what happens.

Yoga coming up on Tuesday 17.30pm as usual. This time we will focus on wrist-strength and flexibility and building up for a successful handstand practice.

Drop in - 100SEK. Last class before X-mas break!
