2018 was the year when I finally learned how to listen to my intuition. How to stay open and trustful to the world, but also stand my ground. Perfect embodiment of surrender and strength combined – one and the same, isn’t it? After spending the last 4 years intensively reflecting and processing past experiences, pains […]

Interview with students – Kathrin & Geor
An interview we did in the summer of 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden with our nice students Kathrin and Georg. Kathrin and Georg practice on average 4 times/week. I am always impressed and super happy to see beginners falling into what I call “the yoga magic”. As teachers it’s wonderful to watch people growing and learning […]
Should you feel intimidated of ashtanga ...
I heard this phrase so many times: “Ashtanga yoga is not for everyone. You need to be strong and flexible and bla bla bla” I remember when someone who did a 200hours Yoga Alliance TTC once said: “I did this TTC but soon realized I need to start teaching something else, because you cannot teach […]
The ashtanga yoga magic
Hello friends, I’ve been away for a while, as you might know already. I honestly needed some time off. I share so much of myself with the world, that from time to time, I need to pause. Away from the blog I had the time to invest more energy into other creative tasks and focus […]

A path of struggle – From ignorance to l
Oh dear, if only I knew how difficult this path will be! I still remember that moment in our little Krakow apartment when Clau, all of a sudden, got fed up into encouraging me to stay in my sweet comfort zone of ignorance and started shaking the hell out of me. She made me fall […]
Alone in this world
Woke up this morning to see my article shared by someone. It made my day a lot better to see someone finds it to be of use. And it encouraged me to write today. This article might be confusing. As I don’t really know where to start and what to say. It doesn’t have a proper […]
How extreme is Ashtanga yoga?
Whatever you’ll be doing in life, there will always be someone judging. The brave ones will tell you straight into your face. The cowards will gossip behind your back. Don’t care! And just do what makes you happy! If you learn from it, keep doing it! Don’t care! Whatever people are deciding to do or not […]
