I’m going to miss so much practicing at the docs in the morning. This is the place where I have been practicing for the last week and the second and third photos are the view from what was my little and alfresco Shala. This has been such a magnificent and deep experience of reconnecting with silence, with the nature within me through the recognition of it on each detail, the reflection of the light on the water, each leave falling on the surface of the river and creating waves on the quiet mirror, the cardinals landing on the branches coloring the infinite greens of the woods with volcanic reds, the dew sprouting from the leaves like the announcement of the master of light that arrives from the eastern horizon. I’m going to miss all of this beauty, but I’m grateful to remember that all of it is in me, and I’m in all of that. We are leaving Valrico today and driving towards Miami to take our flight tomorrow early in the morning. One of the beautiful lessons about traveling is learning to embrace change, is remembering that everything in our human nature is continuously transforming. We can be in peace with it or live in an eternal war resisting to move and to flow with life. #nature #yogaasana #yogapractice #asanapractice #ardhamatsyendrasana #svadhyaya #gratitude #embracechange #travel #nomadsoul #mayallbeingsbehappyandfree #yogaisequanimity #luanafarayoga (at Valrico, Florida)

We are never ready to leave, but at the same time we are... Two weeks have been very little time for me to experience India, but even more to experience myself. At the same time two weeks have been enough for me to be away from my partner, specially considering that this is our first year together. When I travel alone, but specifically to India, I feel alone, which is not the same than lonely. I remember I’m not attached to people but to ideas about it in my mind. Every time I come to India I remember how complete I am with myself, I remember everything is already inside of me, including happiness and love. So from that place I can do more conscious choices, not based on fear of being rejected, on the need of being accepted or on the conditioning of attachment. So today I am grateful and joyful because I’m on my way to meet back with the one I love, my partner in love and life @fotosbyboca . Because I want to keep sharing and creating with this inspiring human being. And I am also grateful because of the time I experienced in India, not only the time alone but also the insightful classes with Siddharthaji and Ushaji, and the time shared with people that are my nomadic family that I blessed to get see them @lmaseret and @diegos1087 Now, at the airport with a smile in my heart, in the way to a new part of this beautiful journey that is life. 📷👉🏽 photo by @lmaseret (Gracias por esta mañana de paseo por Rishikesh 🌷🙏🏽) #gratitude #gratefulness #tittibhasana #yogaasana #rishikesh #india #traveler #nomadsoul #byeindia #ciaoindia #mayallbeingsbehappyandfree #luanafarayoga (at Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3 Departure)

The Soul is the infinite ocean where the waves of our mind float. We can find stillness on its movement or the chaos on the storm. The physical existence is the fascinating color of the ocean It creates magic and beauty but if you search on the depth of the water you will find that the color is nothing but a visual illusion Though it can be experienced with the senses and on its movement reflecting the light... #betheligh #ibelieveinlove #stillness #lifeisagift #mykonosbeach #kalolivadi #travelingreece #nomadsoul #luanafarayoga (at Kalo Livadi)

After a couple of weeks of vacations, I am ready to keep doing what I love: teaching and sharing. I have been quite disconnected from social media during this time but soon I will be posting videos, pictures and information more consistently. Here in Rome I was practicing with the amazing Gabriele Severini, only three days as the last two I get sick (unexpected cold weather and not prepared for it). Right now, I'm at the airport in Rome, thinking that I definitely do not need vacations from what I love to do, but sometimes I need a pause, which is different. A pause allows me to take me out of myself and see my journey without the identification I develop to it. It refreshes the perspective of beliefs and directions, and definitely gives clarity to my mind and heart. Ready to start teaching un Mykonos!!! So, who is coming??? Remember to check the link on my IG profile to get all the information about the retreat I'll be hosting. 📷👉🏼photo by Laura Abarca during the Asana Lab workshop #yoga #yogajourney #yogaasana #yogateaching #yogamykonos #yogaretreat #yogaretreatinmykonos #yogagreece #yogaretreatingreece #shiftyourlife #yogaisequanimity #nomadsoul #luanafarayoga (at Aeroporti di Roma - Roma Fiumicino)

Sometimes my back feels stiff, and those days are the days I know I have to practice backbends the most. That pose that hurts it is actually the medicine for that pain, but only when practiced with awareness and love. If you listen carefully, the pose will be telling you exactly what is that that you are doing that is hurting you, and then it will take you on the right direction. For that we have to forget about the form or the shape, and focus on the content, on what is happening inside. #backbends #urdhvadhanurasana #dropback #morningpractice #yogapractice #asanapractice #yogaisequanimity #nomadsoul #luanafarayoga (at Villa Konstantin, Mykonos, Greece)

Self observation is a process of training the observer in us to be aware all the time. So, let's say you become angry and immediately you notice it. Who is the one inside of you who can notice you are upset? That is the observer! If you can see your emotions then it is easier to realize that they are just arising through you but they are not you! #selfobservation #selfstudy #svadhyaya #yoga #yogaisequanimity #nomadsoul #luanafarayoga

My philosophy teacher always says that yoga is as simple as being loving and kind. It is very easy to be kind with those that are kind with us. It is very easy to be kind and loving with people that treat us nicely, with those that we consider good people, with those that we like, with those that are smiling or behave as we like or want. What is a really difficult is to be kind with those that we don't like, with those that we perceive as evil or wrong, with those that hurt us. Try being kind with that one who hurts you. Try being kind when driving not only with the driver that is asking for space with a big smile on the face, but also with the one that is angry and driving aggressively. Try being kind and loving without thinking if the other deserves it or not... because we all deserve love and kindness. That is what Ishvara Pranidhana is about! #love #kindness #ibelieveingoodness #ibelieveinlove #ishvarapranidhana #yoga #yogaisequanimity #nomadsoul #luanafarayoga
