Do You need Yoga Retreat?

I am back from Spain, back from everyday sunshine, intense fragrance of flowers and herbs, sounds of crickets and the river. I spent 5 days almost entirely outside, close to nature, feeling the air, the Sun and refreshing river waters on my skin. Pure joy for the senses. I took some time off and spent […]

Let me tell you why…

… I meditate. I am a classic example of Ayurvedic Vata type. For those of you who are not familiar with this terminology, Vata type people are driven by Air element. When this element is well balanced Vata people can be creative, think outside the box, energetic and learn quickly. If however Vata is out […]

My body is my best friend

Recently I turned 45. It was a very different birthday for me. For the first time in years, decades even, I really felt that this life that I have, the body that I have is worth some appreciation and celebration. It was a very honest, deep need that I felt within. Maybe it’s the middle […]

Why do we meditate?

How to advertise meditation? How to show on visually focused social media what meditation is if everything happens inside? How to encourage others to try it without promising some incredible out of body experiences, enlightenment or other ‘spiritual fireworks’? I can do it by sharing my experiences. And why do I meditate? Why do I […]

Polish Yoga :)

Picking wild mushrooms is a kind of Polish yoga. It’s very popular in my home country, many people practise it and most have at least a general knowledge of the most popular edible species.There is a whole culture, rituals, do’s and don’ts around it. I was never into it although I love eating mushrooms, cooked, […]

Part 1 or Part 2? What’s the difference?

I usually offer these two yoga courses for beginners, part 1 on Mondays and part 2 on Wednesdays.What is the difference between them, you may be wondering 🙂 In part 1 we start with the absolute basics, learning to manipulate our breath (pranayama), and synchronising the breath and movement (asana). We learn how to create ease […]

Why using Sanskrit?

If you have ever tried speaking another language you probably noticed how different you sound, maybe even hold or move your body as you speak different languages? I’m amazed by how different I sound and even feel using different languages. Each language has its own sounds, structure, its own melody and rhythm. Sanskrit is kind of special 🙂 Being one […]
