'I can do whatever I decide to do.' #MantraOfTheDay Haven't been a while since I posted a mantra! Following up on the last post about bringing grounding into your life #1stchakra (and the one before about staying in the flow, #2ndchakra), it now comes in handy to use mantras or affirmations to help you move forward. Once we have the feeling of being grounded, having a base to operate from (especially mentally, meaning getting to a place of calm that gives us the feeling to rest in ourselves - #doyoga!), plus coming into flow with life, we can have a look at our actual talents, gifts and innate potential. And here the only thing that's left is to believe in ourselves and go about expressing ourselves (to put things into simple words 😬on an issue that is quite complex). Anyways. You can do whatever you decide to do. You can. Yes. It's possible. What's your greatest gift? #Qfromclass 📷Manuela Stamm #annehaackyoga #chakras #chakrawork #backbends #collectiveconsciouscrew #chakrahealing (at Sahara Desert, Merzouga)

How can you let life flow without trying to control it nor resisting it? #Qfromclass Life does as it does. More than often we might have noticed, while we try to control it, things are just flowing out of our hands, while when we resist it tension is building up and we are simply not in the flow anymore. Out of synch, out of frequency, on different wave lengths altogether. The last few days I went into silence, having the need to retreat myself after teaching lots of retreats on end the last few months. So I took a break. To find out that actually right now, where I am, it's not the place nor the time to practice silence. The village life in the desert is about participation! The desert itself is Silence, yes, but it can envelop me without having to practice silence the whole day. At least not right now. So silence practice stopped. Because I figured, when I'm out and about during the day and then come back, I enjoy the silence of not talking at home a lot more and can concentrate better. Word! Sometimes it's like this. Sometimes retreating oneself is the deal and sometimes it's just not on. In the end it's all about finding balance where we are right now. At this moment. However, the last few days of not talking gave me a great deal of energy, which I put into personal practice and an article about 'the power of silence: to talk or not to talk' to use words consciously to manifest! (Follow link in bio) Enjoy your day, talking or not :). #DesertURetreat #bakasana #sahara #morocco #desert #yoga (at Sahara Desert, Merzouga)

How can you bring more transparency into your life? Which parts about yourself or your life are you still hiding? Every time we hide something in act, word or thought it is taking energy away from us. So, what might be able to be liberated by now? #Qfromclass . This also a new one! I never tried #EkaPadaRajaKapotasana to the head, as I had no idea how to twist my arms around, let alone how to get the foot to the head. Since I never focussed much on backbends, I simply didn't think of it. Then gave it a few tries the other week, and voila, #yoga #magic ✨unfolds in the most unexpected moments! That's why we keep practicing, innit? Pay attention to keep the hip of the bent leg grounded while you keep your hips square. If it's lifted from the ground or you are falling towards that side, put some padding like a blanket or cushion under that hip. Apart from a backbend it's a deep hip opener, able to release any kind of stored up emotions. So try to stay a while in the pose and simply observe what is coming up. Do both sides (always in all poses!).

How can you bring more hope into your life? Also in a sense of trust that everything will be alright? (#Qfromclass) . . For Padottanasana interlace your fingers, press your palms together, straighten the arms and fold forward. Let your arms drop towards the ground. Don't worry if your hands don't reach, but keep the arms straight and palms pressing together. .
