It is with great pleasure that I can finally re-open my appointment with my beloved newsletter. At the beginning of January, I started an intensive Yoga training which allowed me to take an International Certification with the Alliance School. Having already an alignment background, thanks to my Iyengar training (still in progress), I now have the opportunity to integrate my Wellness Coaching practice with personalized Yoga lessons that can also be done online !!! I’m pleased about it, but I don’t deny that I had difficult moments during these months of intense training. I can’t hide that the idea of giving up everything has passed through my mind multiple times. I had to study and learned advanced sequences of asanas (poses), anatomy, pranayama (breathing), philosophy, and meditation. Every day for about 8 hours a day, including Saturdays, I was in this Yoga studio in Miami, and when I was coming home in the evening, I didn’t even want to prepare dinner. I would have gone straight to bed, no problem. It was not a simple journey, but now that I have my 200-hour RYT diploma (Registered Yoga Teacher) in my hands and I look at it, I tell myself that it was undoubtedly worth it. I think that despite the achievement of the goals that I set, I will never stop studying. The knowledge we can acquire in the field of our work or passions never ends. After the course, I immediately left for Italy, where I still am. I thought I […]
Having good quality well-being consists in having a reliable system. Of course, it is essential having a healthy routine around the food we eat, but if when we eat even the healthiest foods, we are stressed on a mental or spiritual level, our body must first face other needs that have certainly nothing to do with assimilating all the necessary nutrients. Instead, it will focus on getting us out of the stressful moment by consuming all the energy that our meals provide us. For instance, our brain does not distinguish whether we are going to be eaten by a hungry lion in the middle of the forest or if we are fighting with our colleague at the office or again if we are having an anxiety attack while stuck in traffic. Our brain perceives a dangerous situation and must save us! How? Using all the possible resources we have inside our body that we assimilate through the food we eat. That is why it is so important having some quick solutions that we can adopt while we are in distress situations. There are several techniques and therapies nowadays that can help us to calm our body and mind. For instance, think about our beloved meditation, one ancient holistic and natural approach that has been used from years all over the world — or maybe going to a therapist, someone who can help us deal with issues we might have in our life. Or again an activity that can help us […]
I love writing my weekly blog, and I missed it while on standby during my month in Italy. Even if I didn’t write, I collected pictures, sensations, emotions about this fantastic time there. It’s inspirational traveling around. Looking at fabulous places while having a chance to think about your life, your journey, why you are here, and what you can share with others it’s a great opportunity. In my last trip I touched base Sardinia and Liguria, and my eyes got to see beautiful landscaping. I tasted delicious local products while enjoying the peace of some of the gorgeous places in the world. Starting from Levanto, visiting Cinque Terre, passing by Portofino, Sanremo, Bordighera, and Montecarlo. Then flew to Arbatax in Sardinia and finally spent sometimes in Villasimius. Traveling is one of the best experience we can have. I used to run all the time, thinking that if I stopped, I would have slowed down, and that was a negative thing to me especially for my business. Eventually, I’ve learned that slowing down is not always wrong. I got to realize one crucial point. Slowing down gave me the change of finding a better balance in my life. Create more space for yourself. The opportunity to go somewhere or take it easy gives you the addition to create more space for yourself. You can find time to enjoy simple things like a walk on the beach, for instance, a dinner with family and friends, a glimpse at sunset, going for […]
