This is 45.

Let me share some random thoughts from the midway point:

- Life is hard because you get the test first, then comes the lesson. Thank you @janetisabelli for that reminder. I feel so lucky to have survived lots of hardship early and stayed around for those valuable lessons to arrive later.

- Life itself will teach you how to live life if you put yourself out there and take risks. You can reinvent yourself, change, and start over as many times as you want. This year is my 20th anniversary of leaving Gothenburg, Sweden where i was born and raised. I thank my 25 year old self for her courage!

- Say the damn thing. Even if it’s uncomfortable and cause friction you learn to speak up and speak your mind. Contrary to what you might believe it actually brings you closer to people.

- Be generous with the people you love, not just with material things but even more importantly with your affection. Thank you @mimiyoga_official for bringing us all together today. We only have so many gatherings, say I love you, tell them what you appreciate about them, hype up your friends and even sometimes strangers on the street for no particular reason.

- Let go of controlling the outcome and control your reaction to the moment you’re in.

- Enjoy being the center of attention once in a while but most importantly get comfortable enjoying everyone else’s success as your own and you’ll always have a reason to smile.

This photo was taken at The Corner, one of Miami’s most legendary and hedonistic bars.

When I was a new yoga teacher, I often struggled to reconcile my old life with the life I was creating. I made the internal struggle visible by sitting on the bar in Bharadvajasana, a traditional yoga pose.

Because we’re not meant to leave our past selves behind.

With time and practice, I learned to embrace that ‘crazy’ old version of myself and give her a safe home. taken in The Corner by @ewa_hypnosis

The way we think about the past changes the future. But maybe not in the way most people think.

As you recall a difficult past experience by retelling your story in your own mind or to others, the most important question is not whether you’re positive or negative.

I am currently seeing people with truly harrowing childhoods trying to reframe their story by putting a positive spin on terrible things that happened to them. It hurts me.

Please don’t do it. It will send the message to your inner child that her feelings were invalid. This child had to endure so much, and now you’re pretending it was all good, silencing her once again. Making her feel maybe she’s the problem.

There’s a better way.

It boils down to this simple question:
Were you the victim, or the hero of your story?

Because bad things are bad. But there’s one undeniable fact you can always come back to as long as you’re alive - you actually survived those things.

You are the hero of your story. Even though bad things happened you made it through. Cultivating the gratitude and compassion for your inner child is the actual hallmark of healing.

Moving from victimhood to toxic positivity is just going to slap a bandaid over your old wounds.

But changing your role from victim to hero changes everything.

Repeat after me: I survived that. I’m the hero of my story. by @ewa_hypnosis

✨
welcome to earth
you will receive a body and a mind
there will be constant change
there will be overwhelming noise
some heartbreakingly beautiful
some devastatingly sad
yet try to enjoy the journey
leave things a little better
than you found them
for the next dancer to enjoy

TEMPO LENTO: A Yoga + Chanting Retreat Celebrating The Art of Slow Living 🇮🇹

This October, join Janet and Ewa in Puglia for six days and five nights of yoga, chanting, beauty, rest and connection at Masseria Pistola — a restored historic estate surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, quiet courtyards, trulli, and the rhythm of southern Italy in the fall.

Tempo Lento is our invitation to slow down with intention - breathing deeply, eating beautifully, gathering generously and returning to yourself.

Experience yoga twice daily, mantra meditation, shared meals and time to rest, wander, write, explore and take in the richness of Puglia.

An artisanal experience will connect us to the craftsmanship of the region, while a professional photography session with a local talent will capture those golden, deeply alive moments you’ll want to remember.

Evenings bring restorative practice, chef-prepared villa dinners, local wine and the kind of connections and conversations that remind us how good it feels to be fully present.

Dating back to the early 1600s, Masseria Pistola began as a simple farmhouse before evolving over centuries into the extraordinary estate it is today — layered with Cummersa architecture, old stone, chapel details, gardens, and the kind of beauty that can’t be manufactured.

Join us…and fall in love with the art of taking your time.

October 19-24, 2026
$2680 per person (2-person shared room)
$3710 per person (solo room - limited avail)

*Prices include everything except airfare and ground transport, one in-town dinner, optional excursions and shopping habits. 😉

Only a few rooms remain.

DM us for details and to book your spot.

If the teacher has all the answers… run. by @ewa_hypnosis

My thoughts lately:

✨ Whenever you’re about to say or think something nasty about someone, pause and set yourself free.

✨ Whenever you imagine yourself as the victim of a story, pause and imagine yourself instead as the hero of that story.

✨ The question is not whether magic is real - it’s whether you allow your life to feel magical.
