We live in extremely exciting times. Humanity is becoming more conscious. Companies are starting to take more care of their employees. More and more people are questioning what they do for a living and want to find more purpose. We are creating more social businesses than ever before. The topics of health and personal wellbeing have never been bigger, Yoga and mindfulness are booming.

We do it all day long. We talk to people, listen to music, work, are on the phone or on the computer, watch Netflix, read news, follow our habits/ addictions, exercise. At work, at the bus stop, in the train, on the toilet, while eating, during meetings, during coffee with friends, in bed, waiting in the queue.

Our stories do shape us. We are how we are due to our past, how we were raised, what we experienced, the culture we live in, what our ancestors experienced, and the lessons we’ve learned on the way. That’s what I notice and what psychology tells us (there is much more than that, but I will write about this some other day).

When Agnes, one of my closest friends, asked me to teach a Yoga class on the day of her wedding I felt deeply honored. At that moment the wedding day was still far away, but the excitement and the warmth and love I felt about being invited to teach on such a beautiful occasion was fueling me during moments of doubt about my teachings.
