Breathe in… breathe out…
I was once told by a teacher of mine that the only thing you can control in your life is your breath. The longer I am a yogi and a seeker the more clear and evident this becomes. What becomes even more clear is the fact that your breathing can effect the entire world around…

Connecting with your True Self
This seems to be a theme today with my clients so I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on it. Yes, the goal of yoga is to quiet the mind but that is not only for stress relief. It’s much bigger than than that. Yoga today is about feeling good, relaxing and finding some…

Why are you here?
And I don’t mean the big question, “Why are you here?” I mean the little version, the starting point. Why are you sitting here before me? That’s the first question you must ask yourself before you can do any work to improve your current situation. You might not be directly in front of me now…

You don’t have to be flexible to do yoga.
I’ve been hearing a lot from new students or people that want to get started with yoga, or simply just to give a try, that they aren’t flexible enough so they won’t be able to do it well. This is a huge misconception of the entire concept of what yoga really is. Flexibility is a…

You are not a number!
The industrialisation of yoga is turning yogis into just that, a number that passes through a revolving door. The more studios I see opening around me the larger they seem to be. If you got into yoga as a business owner to make money then you are not a yogi at all. Teaching yoga is…

Not today Shiva!
Today I just can’t! We all have those days. You wake up and the moment you get out of bed you think to yourself “Why the hell did I do that?” All I want to do is crawl back into the cavern that is my solace, my bedroom. Most of us can’t do that though.…

It’s a downward dog eat downward dog world!
I’ve been in this business for over 15 years and the longer I’m in it the more the business side shows its ugly face. Yoga has been around longer than any of us and will continue to be here long after we are all dead and forgotten. Yoga is here to give us a platform…

Non violence in daily life
The first apartment I rented on my own in Amsterdam was a tiny shithole in a busy neighbourhood that was very loud and smelly, there was a street market parallel to it so that was mostly to blame. The rent was €995 per month and it was so old and poorly taken care of that…

What is Yoga and why should I do it?
Simply put, yoga is a series of movements utilizing all of your major muscle groups so that you can sit down on the floor comfortably without any pain or discomfort. It keeps your body strong and supple. The technique was created thousands of years ago so that practioners could sit in meditation for hours on…
