SLEEP- The only thing that I miss in my life is the state of DEEP SLEEP..
Deep continuous night sleep is a state of rest that I haven’t experienced since many many years, long before perimenopause..
-
I usually don’t mind, but during the last week, after 2 and a half months of endless working hours, no days-off and super high temperatures, practice is not always enough to recharge my batteries..
Today it was one of there days.. Heavy as an elephant..
•
No matter what, I feel blessed on my blessed mat every single day @_weareblessed ..
Sunday, rest day..
•
By the way, are you sleeping well at night?
Olga @olgakokthi does for sure..😀

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..💛
