Only peace and quiet I can get now days. When life gets too much we all have our ways of coping. All you need is good buddy to have your back and wisper when it gets to 5mins or so... 📸 @mylenena

Evenings be like...💙 Exploring the spaces in between – the silent moments in between breaths, the breaths where you close your eyes and move deeper into a pose, the breaths you use to stop the chatter of the mind.

Yoga and freediving are truly interconnected. Guruji Iyengar taught us to find space in the restriction within asana practice. Same when you hold your breath in freediving. You have to learn to get comfortable with the uncomfortable, learn how to find your true limits, not those that your mind dictates. 💙 Taking part in my first ever world champioship in Burgas this year for @aidafreediving and my home country 🇬🇷 has left a very sweet taste in my mouth. With an overwhelming sense of all the elite athletes around me and my nerves taking up the best part of my mind space the white card and the 152m in a pair of second hand fins and a borrowed suit, seems a respectable result. Not a personal best, not close to my true capabilities for sure, I can see that now. But it will do! 💙 A whole year ahead, to get better at my freediving, calming my nerves and controling my mind. Big thanks @molchanovsfreediving for my bi fins by far the best fins to suit my feet even if they did belong to someone else once. So let's get training with the best @onebreathfreediving and permission given to my coach @dimitriskoumoulos to kick my ass into shape. #aidaworldchampionship2022 #freediving #freediverslife #apnea #Greece

Anantasana (Sanskrit: अनन्तासन )Sleeping Vishnu Pose or Eternal One's Pose 🖤 Patanjali says in Yoga Sutra 2.47, “By relaxing effort and fixing the mind on the infinite [ananta], asana is perfected.” 🖤 Ananta, a word meaning “unending” or “infinite,” describes what is timeless, beyond birth, growth, death, and all modifications—a limitless state of joy and contentment. This sweet, natural state of ours, beyond the things of the senses, is embodied by the vast mythological serpent, Ananta, whose coils support the universe and who serves as Vishnu's couch when Vishnu rests between avataric incarnations. If you add -asana to Ananta, you have the name of a yoga pose which can help us cultivate this innate sense of contentment, equanimity, and timelessness.  By yoga journal ✨️

Blue is my mind, I miss the sea...and my heart breaks a litle every day being in the city. 💙 Water is like air for me, its not just a biological connection, its an emotional and a spiritual one. 💙 Soon #home #Blue mind #zakynthos

"Forearm balance in Sanskrit is called Pincha Mayurasana.  Pincha Mayurasana means the feather of the peacock and represents the peacock starting its dance.   In the East, the peacock is the bird of kings and gods - Lord Krishna carries a feather of the animal on his head, it is the vehicle of Brahma… But it is also used as a symbol in the Western world, a less appealing one however as it symbolises worldliness, pride and vanity.  That said, there are examples in Christian art, of the peacock symbolising the beauty of the soul and resurrection.  According to an old Jewish legend, the peacock was the only bird that didn’t eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden and was rewarded with eternal life, thereby becoming the mystical bird, the phoenix, signifying resurrection, rebirth and a vision of eternity.   The paradox of the symbolism of the peacock can now certainly give rise to reflections when you practice the pose - will it for you represent vanity or the beauty of Heaven?  I will leave you with these thoughts… I do tend towards the second one of course.   One thing that is sure is that when we practise Pincha Mayurasana, we need to find lightness like the feather of the peacock."
