50 years old and I can say for sure Life has been good to me up to this day..
•
Is it because I chose to live it this way, is it because of pure luck, is it because of Karma, fate, destiny?
I don’t know and it doesn’t really matter anyway..
It is what it is..
•
What matters to me the most is that if I had the opportunity to turn time back and start from the beginning, I wouldn’t change a thing..
•
And yes, the first 50 deserve a trophy when accomplished!!
An immense thank you to my beloved sister and greatest artist I know @mariantelman @the.mamalians for the handcrafted clay trophy she handed to me, an iconic gift, representing all what female nature means & feels like..
•
I feel so fortunate for the family I have, who gather every year to be with me, let me upload photos for that day only and know that they love me dearly even-though I am the one to blame for everything that happens on earth.. 😂😂😂
•
Above all, I thank Life for my practice, for the gift of Ashtanga yoga that keeps me tolerant, healthy, strong in my body & my mind and gives me the drive to be the best part of me, wherever that is..
•
To be continued..

-YOGA is the new religion-
Religion should mean a place where people come together, meditate, pray, believe, love, respect, let go & self-heal..
That’s all YOGA is, isn’t it?

An unexpected encounter today with a beautiful soul, Dimitris @daydreamer_tso , a fantastic practitioner, teacher and now soul mate, who came from far away to share the energy of this practice in my little blessed yard..
I feel so overwhelmed..
Thank you Dimitris..
Can’t wait for tomorrow..

“I don’t have a favorite place, I have favorite people, and when I am with those favorite people, that’s my favorite place”..
•
The people I share my practice with everyday, are for sure my favorite people, and my beautiful garden where we grow & cultivate food for thought everyday, is for sure my favorite place in the world..
•
As simple as that..

Rick from Brooklyn NY, sailing around Lefkada, came to my shop last night before midnight @melinaslittleshop to do some shopping with his beautiful wife Nina, and ended up practicing Ashtanga yoga for the first time in his life next morning at 8:00am..⚡️⚡️⚡️

He is a Hero and for sure one of the favorite people..💛

Yesterday was Guru Purnima in India, the day we celebrate our Guru, the one who shows us the way, the one who guides us from darkness to light, the one who teaches us the Truth and motivates us to keep moving forward, progressing and blossoming toward the best part of ourselves..
•
I am so grateful to have met my Guru in this life time, my teacher & Guruji @sharathjoisr who was, is and will always be my jungle doctor, teaching me tolerance, and making me love this practice so very deeply & wholesomely..
•
The Guru is always there, physically or mentally and now that his body is not here, his presence is even more profound..
•
To find the one thing in Life that can offer you such internal fulfillment is the greatest GIFT..
•
I thank all my teachers and everyone who has made this journey possible..
