The quest of the soul:
The right means are just as important as the end in view. Patanjali enumerates these means as the eight limbs or stages of Yoga. They are:
1- Yama - Universal moral commandments
2- Niyama - Self purification by discipline
3- Asana - posture
4- Pranayama - Rhythmic control of the breath
5- Pratyahara - Withdrawal and emancipation of the mind by the domination of the senses and exterior objects
6- Dharana - Concentration
7- Dhyana - Meditation
8- Samadhi - A state of super-consciousness brought about by profound meditation, in which the aspirant (Sādhaka) becomes one with the object of his meditation - Paramātmā or the Universal Spirit)

He who has conquered his mind is a Rāja Yogi. Raja Tiga implies a complete mastery of the Self. Though Patanjali explains the ways to control the mind, he nowhere states in his aphorisms (Sutras) that this science is Raja Yoga, but calls it Ashtanga Yoga or 8 stages (limbs) of Yoga. As it implies complete mastery of the self one may call it the science of Raja Yoga.

Swatmarama, the author of Hatha Yoga Pradipika (Hatha: Force or determined effort) called the same path Hatha Yoga because it demanded rigorous discipline.
It is generally believed that Raja Yoga and Hatha Yoga are entirely distinct, different and opposed to each other, that the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali deal with Spiritual discipline and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika of Swatmarama deals solely with physical discipline. It is not so, as Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga complement each other and form a single approach towards Liberation.
As a mountaineer needs ladders, ropes and crampons as well physical fitness and discipline to climb the Icy peaks of the Himalayas, so does the Yoga aspirant needs the knowledge and discipline of the Hatha Yoga of Swatmarama to reach the heights of Raja Yoga dealt with by Patanjali.

The most incredible water I have seen 🩵
Today we experienced sailing on a traditional Swahili dhows (wooden boat) and I really enjoyed seeing and (eating) the fishermen and sailor food.
Thankful for the experience 🙏🏽

Ubuntu—“I am because we are”

Observing and learning from the daily lives of local Africans—offers profound lessons in community, resilience, and minimalism. It shifts the focus from material possessions to human connection, celebrating the present moment despite resource constraints.

Despite facing daily economic challenges, there is a deep cultural tendency to focus on gratitude and joy. Generosity and open-heartedness build bridges between diverse people and make everyone feel like extended family.

This trip to Zanzibar brings deeper introspections , how I see the world and my conscious and subconscious interactions with people. Being a tourist is bittersweet. I hope everyone that travels to Africa can reach deeper levels of awareness to what really matters which sometimes is easily forgotten living comfortable lives in other parts of the world.

Love to all,
B.

Low tide walk 💛
I have seem starfishes before but not this colourful. There is a Starfish point at the beach close to our hotel, we just need to remember to keep them in contact with water as the Starfish typically begin to suffocate and can die within 3 to 5 minutes out of water. Also wearing sunscreen or perfume can poison their delicate tissue.
Surya was very happy to see them but he didn’t want to take it out of the water for a photo (🥳). The water is so transparent it seems they are out but I promise we were keeping them submerged 🩵

My Ashtanga Retreat officially starts today in Pwani Mchangani
Can’t wait to share more of the place with you 🌈😍

July Online Workshops:

Saturday: 25/07
14:00-16:00 CET
Introduction to the 2nd Series of Ashtanga Yoga:

This workshop is an introduction to the beginning of the Second Series of Ashtanga Yoga, with the intent to make it accessable, enjoyable and fun.
Multiple options, approaches and modifications for each posture will be taught in order to accommodate all levels of students. By exploring the sequence in this way we will also uncover the intelligent structure of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and gain a deeper understanding into the internal methodology of both Primary and Second Series.

Sunday: 26/07
14:00-16:00 CET
Journey to the Leg Behind the Head:

Together we will explore safe exercises to deepen the external rotation of the hips, understanding the mechanics of the movements.
Leg Behind Head Postures, are an advanced hip opener that requires flexibility, stability, and strength. Using correct technique and regular practice of the exercises I will share, you can work your way up with preparatory poses that increase flexibility in your spine, hips, and legs.

The workshops are about two hours long online on Zoom. Lots of personal attention and tips will be given so I recommend attending live for instant feedback. For those who can’t attend live and still want to learn the exercises, tips and techniques given, the workshop will be recorded.
A WhatsApp group will be created for the participants so you can send questions and submit videos of your practice/progress up to 1 month.

*Recordings will be available.
Time in Central Europe time zone
Price for both days: 140€
Price for one day: 80€

Primary Series physically works as a sequence of asanas to bring healing to the internal organs, targeting the digestive system. Having digestive issues since ever, that was the first physical benefit I experienced from the practice. Yes - going to the bathroom regularly ❤️🙏🏽
All the folds, the twists, pushing the heels inside the lower belly in the half lotuses. The Primary series sets a healing foundation for the body. It also opens the hip, the hamstrings, lower back, strength the core to make the body ready for more complex asanas. Energetically is grounding, and as most of people come to the practice with higher levels of stress and overstimulated, the primary series offers a calm, steady and grounding container for our minds to find stillness.
The second series have a different energetic intention. It stimulates the nervous system with all the backbends, the core and spine should be ready to take in the load - hopefully ready from previous work, the hip opener increases tremendously and then we are asked to find stability in the spine and core with the arm balances.

I will be travelling to teach workshops and in retreats through the year and next, Hope to see you on the mat! Online or in person ✨

One of the best hikes EVER!
Now let me rest my legs 🙃🧡
We wrapped the retreat week in Dolomites today with a hike together. I’m so grateful for all of you. Thank you for the trust and for being your beautiful self 🙏🏽✨🪻

I wish I had more flowers photos from the Dolomites mountains but sometimes is okay to keep the camera off.
Nature teaches as so many beautiful things, as gentle flowers blooming in tough and harsh environments.

“I hope you are blessed with a heart like a wildflower.Strong enough to rise again after being trampled upon,Tough enough to weather the worst of the summer storms,And able to grow and flourish even in the most broken places.”

Today I stood under a thunder sky. In Brazilian indigenous cosmology, Tupã — the Creator’s force and manifestation — speaks through thunder. The lightning flashes are not random; they are sacred drawings, divine thoughts made briefly visible before dissolving back into the invisible.

In the Vedic tradition, the most sacred teachings are called shruti — that which is heard. Not composed by human minds, but received. The rishi did not invent the truth; he became still enough to listen.

It is the moment when something in you becomes quiet enough to receive what was always already there.
Tupã. Shruti. The guru’s glance.
Different languages for the same mystery.

In the silence of a Mysore room, breath is the sound, hands the gentle guidance, the stillness of the group holds the space.
Thank you for the trust. I hope to see you next time ♥️

I don’t talk about this often. But I was there.

I was in Virginia at the Active Series training when Sharath passed away. I was on the hike. I was in the circle of prayer on the trail when none of us yet knew for certain what had happened.

I sat down with @findingharmonypodcast to talk about it — and about everything that came before and after.

We talked about:
🌊 Discovering yoga in Rio through my grandmother
📀 The Ashtanga New York DVD and the goosebumps that changed my life
🇮🇳 Six trips to Mysore, practicing with both Saraswati and Sharaji
🌿 What daily practice does for the chaos of relationships and motherhood
💔 That day in Virginia — and the three nights after that no one slept
🏡 Why I haven’t gone back to Mysore, and why that feels right
♾️ Impermanence as the deepest teaching of this whole practice

I also get honest about injuries — years of back pain, the catching debate, and learning that devotion to a practice doesn’t mean ignoring your body.

If you’re part of this community, if you’ve ever loved a teacher, if you carry this practice — I think this conversation is for you.

🎧 Search “Finding Harmony Podcast” wherever you listen.

What has kept you on the mat through the hard seasons? I’d love to hear. 💬👇

In times of social media and sharing our lives, practices, hobbies or lifestyle, everyone has an input or an opinion on what is right, what is wrong and what is good or bad.
When I share about the Ashtanga Yoga method, suddenly I get strangers writing me Ashtanga is harmful, it’s a cult and not spiritual.

According to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The highest authority on the Yoga practice there are three means of knowledge.

Pratyakṣa (Direct Perception): Knowledge gained directly through your direct experience. It is immediate experience without the need for an intermediary.
Anumāṇa (Inference): Logical deduction or reasoning. This is when you observe certain signs and conclude a fact based on those observations. (Social media community)
Āgama (Testimony): Knowledge received from trusted authorities, scriptures, or enlightened teachers. You take it to be true based on the reliability of the source.

I have authority to say in my life that this practice for me is beneficial because of my direct experience with it.
I have seen directly people improving their healthy and habits because of the practice.
The knowledge received from trusted teachers and texts has and have been transformative.

There are many paths, tools and practices for self realisation. You choose what benefits you.

What I have learned is that genuine knowledge requires direct contact — Pratyaksha — combined with study under trusted teachers. Without that, opinions remain just that: opinions. Including my own

Im off tomorrow to share the Ashtanga practice at @ashtanga.ljubljana this weekend! 🌈✨
