Unfold Your Mat

We have spent so many hours together on that floor, but we have so few pics together. And this is just a screenshot from a video, not even a real picture. But you know what's real? The work is real. The inner work. The way we express ourselves with our body. How we meet ourselves in that process, dare to go deep at the root, let go of the old and dare to step into the new ❤️ The poetry of the movement and what it does to our hearts and minds - THAT! That is real, so damn real baby 🔥 Tomorrow my teacher and big sister @_elainedesouza is heading to her amazing yoga retreat in Ibiza. I'm sad I can't be there 💗 It's been so long since I took time to go somewhere and just focus on my practice. I do this everyday but it's different in town with so many distractions and responsibilities around. Walking this path next to each other has been one of the biggest blessings of my life ❤️ How did I get so lucky to have you as the one who opens my eyes to the depths of me? 💎👁️🕵️‍♀️ If you wanna live better and have an amazing practice, get yourself an amazing teacher & take self responsibility for your own growth 🌟 And to those that are surprised teachers have teachers - of course we have teachers, anyone who aspires to grow into their art has amazing teachers ❤️ I never want to become complacent and be so ridiculously full of myself to think it's enough what I know. It's not enough, I want to keep evolving and change my mind for as long as I breathe 🌼 💎And then I looked at her and asked:"How can I be so intelligent and stupid at the same time?" And she said "Those are your demons darling" ❤️ Let's go and meet them, I'm not afraid of them 🔥 Love always, Your annoying troublemaking student 👀❤️ #artists #yoga #art #shine #yogateacher #gothenburg #yoga #elainedesouzayoga #unfoldyourmat #selfgrowth #introspection#backbends #dropback

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is ask for help 💗💗 It's share what weights heavy on our shoulders with a dear friend. It's cry and hold our own hand. Darling, being strong is keeping that beautiful heart of yours open. Maybe we don't need to have an answer and solve all our issues right here, right now. Maybe the biggest gift we can give ourselves in this very moment is to stop, take a deep breath, let that pain and negativity go through us and above us without becoming it. There will be an answer. Let it be baby ❤️ Remember who you are deep down your own heart & Let that be your guide baby ❤️ You'll be fine. You'll be fine 🌺 Maybe right here, right now the best thing to do is move your body and just be. #unfoldyourmat and let the breath guide you home towards yourself And whisper to yourself: I love you. I'm here for you. 🧘‍♀️🌱 "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Frank Herbert, DUNE #dune # fear #mindmastery #yoga #mindfulness #selflove #gothenburg #strenght

🌼On motivation 🌼 Motivation is about reaching the point of finally becoming emotionally mature and having the character to do the right thing without externalising your issues or "motivators"🔥 Motivation = taking responsibility Motivation = you understand that everything begins with respecting and taking care of your body and mind ❤️ Motivation = you understand that you have the power to choose where you put your energy, how you spend your time, with whom you share it and nobody is responsible to choose better for you than yourself 🌺 Other people or the things they make, say or put out there into the world can inspire us, teach us on the things we yet don't know, open our eyes and show us new perspectives, BUT if we are not willing to do the internal work, work with our minds, habits and continue to make self exploration and growth a life long habit ➡️🏹 then nothing's gonna change or improve and we will stop growing. Maturity is doing what we know we need to do but we avoid because of excuses or externalisation of our issues 🔥 Maturity = taking responsibility for our emotional growth, for our life, for flowing with life instead of getting stuck in old habits and patterns 🌼 When your goal is to get to know yourself on deeper layers,dive deeper into this limited time we have on earth and not live based on external validators then something new begins 🌺 YOU HAVE ARRIVED ❤️ YOU HAVE ARRIVED ❤️ #motivation #yoga #selfgrowth #introspection #emotionalmaturity #unfoldyourmat #meditation 📍Unfold Your Mat yoga studio in #gothenburg🤸‍♀️ Practicing on #manduka #yogamat Shop through eu.manduka.com with my code UYM and you receive 15% discount and I receive 10% commission ❤️
