This weekend we had a lovely meeting with the yoga teachers of Abundance @ CityFitness.
I offered to share a practice of pranayama & yogasana with them. Some of the teachers have been practicing for 40 plus years, which is almost double the time I have practiced for.
It was an honored to guide them and the energy in the room was absolutely lovable. How awesome!
Our manager, also a yogini, is amazing. She took this pic of us, where I moved to her spot to be in it with the others.
Happy about this new adventure. If you are in Hamilton & part of this gym, come practicing with me on Wednesday 12.15pm in Te Rapa & Thursday 6.45pm in Ruakura!

June is the MotoNeuroDisease month awareness.

I become closer to what this conditions is when I met Chris for a one-on-one consultation session he came to exactly 2 years ago. Since we have done quite regularly chair-yoga & breathing sessions together.
He is a talented musician and a epic human, as his wife is.

Journeying with him & his whanau through such a challenging path is emotionally profound, both in the good & the sad ways. Witnessing the progression of the condition & the strenght of spirit that it takes to face that & always come back to smiling & loving is a teaching I can only acknowledge with humility.

My heart is grateful & honored to be beside Chris, supporting him with breathing practices & presence.
It is an immense joy leaving him more serene & uplifted at the end of our time together. I can see it, I can feel it & his own feedback tells me, as he shares how he is better emotionally & physically and his voice comes back clearer after each session.

Such is the power of consious breathing excercises & I rejoice to the highest picks knowing that he has made this tool his own even when I am not there.

Althought sadly I cannot stop the progression of his condition, it gives me the deepest joy & purpose practicing with him because I know our time together gives him some relief. This is the biggest reward one can desire for.

After 2 years in this, Chris & his beautiful wife Kendall are like family to me & we genuinely care for each others.
Recently I have practiced also with 2 of their dear friends, as I am always happy to expand the group of our practice. Here in the video we are doing some of Chris' & mine favs one, the humming bee breath, and having lots of fun with laughter yoga.

Thank you Chris for finding me, you are a gift to my heart.

Visit https://mnd.org.nz/ and support Chris & many other people sharing this most challenging journey πŸ™πŸ€πŸ™

Here ma news! Now teaching yoga at Cityfiness Ruakura on Thursday 6.45pm!
It was a delightful class, no doubt if you ask me πŸ˜‰

And to get into this new chapter in a gym I felt I had to get myself a pair of sneakers after probably 14 years since my last one. (It does not seem aligned taking Doctor Martin's in a gym right?!)
Then of course I opted for my old great love for skating shoes, check out my new Globe!! Feels like I am back in my 20s πŸ˜„
Good times, good times πŸ’ͺπŸ€πŸ™Œ

This is my friend Chris, whose article I shared yesterday. The Motor Neurone Disease NZ asked him & his beautiful partner Kendall to help them to make a video on their story to promote Action Month for MND.

It is a moving, pungently real & beautiful video, where Chris & Kendall are opening up to their vulnerability and their incredible strength, their emotional intelligence, their sweetest caring personalities & their vibrantly passionate musician sides.

Chris is the MNDNZ hero of the year, and he is truly a Hero. He is doing beyond anyone could imagine even through the challenges of his condition: from hiking missions & concert adventures, it is worth to mention that this year they also attended Splore festival. If this is not epic, not sure what is.
Because Chris always had the approach of CAN DO, even in the face of the unsettling progression of his condition. It takes the heart of a lion, I can tell because I witness it. Indeed, I am so glad & grateful he had the insight to practice breathing & conscious movement with me 2 years ago, and we still do. This time of practice has made us very close and I have so much love & care for him & Kendall.
I am so glad I call them both friends.
In fact, I am also in this the video as they offered me to join them for a cuppa with their support group. It was a most pleasant cuppa time, with very interesting people having greatly interesting conversations, not surprisingly considering who we were there for.
