18/12/2023 0 Comments Reconnecting with MyselfA Journey Back to Personal Practice2023 brought its fair share of challenges for me and my family. Dealing with the loss of my dear father-in-law, spending a significant portion of the year apart from my husband, and foregoing a proper summer vacation to support our family took its toll. Personally, I had to cancel most of my planned travels and yoga retreats, overworking to compensate for the financial strain caused by my husband's absence in Bulgaria. Despite not complaining, I found myself drained, putting everything non-urgent and non-profitable on pause to conserve energy. My creativity was on hold, my personal yoga practice lost, and I felt disconnected from myself, my family, and life in general.
After one week of being laptop-free, filled with fun, adventures, new skills (hello, surfing!), and surrounded by amazing people, I found myself reenergized and motivated to continue. Even after the retreat, I maintained my daily practice, regardless of the varying conditions and locations. Some places offered spectacular terraces and views, while others were small, dull hotel rooms or busy airports. Yet, I showed up for myself with an open mind and trust in the process.
Upon returning to Amsterdam, I happily resumed my short workouts, which used to be a monumental struggle for me before my travels. Now, they are something I look forward to every day—20-30 minutes of yoga or a home workout, followed by a short moment of stillness and just being quiet. It's just me, myself, and I. My body and skin are glowing, and my inspiration and creativity have returned. I feel light, not just physically but also mentally—careless, free, and happy.
I've turned this journey into a mini project, creating timelapses from my practices—capturing all the ups and downs, messy hair, wobbly headstands, and moments of bliss. So, my lovely friends, I invite you to join me on the mat and make yourselves happy. See you there!
