Sometimes the insight is just to move. Whatever feels good for you today, whatever you love, whatever makes you happy.

Today’s movement diary: just move ✨

Today’s Back to the body show you 3 simple ways to come back to your body when you feel overwhelmed 🙏🏼 You don’t always need to think your way back into calm.
Sometimes, you can start with the body.

Try these three:

𓂃 01 — Butterfly tapping 🦋
Cross your arms over your chest and gently alternate tapping from side to side. Let the rhythm be slow and steady.

𓂃 02 — Face + chest tapping🙉
Use your fingertips to gently tap around your face, collarbones and chest. No need to follow a perfect pattern, simply bring some gentle sensation into the body.

𓂃 03 — Circular breathing 🫁
Breathe slowly through the nose, making the inhale and exhale feel continuous and smooth. Imagine the breath moving in a soft circle rather than stopping at the top or bottom.

Stay for a few rounds. Notice what changes 🧘🏼‍♀️ Not to force yourself to feel different. Just to give your body another option.

Save this for the next time you need to come back to yourself ✨

🌱Return whenever you need🌱

Every process has its timing 🌱

A lot of falling. A lot of starting again. A lot of moments where the body says “not today.” But I’m learning to love those moments too. To celebrate the little shifts, the almosts, the shaky attempts, the days when something finally clicks and the days when it doesn’t.

Because the practice isn’t only the beautiful moment you get to hold. It’s every fall that taught you how to land. Every attempt that taught you something new. Every time you chose to try again.

Maybe progress is not about falling less. Maybe it’s about learning to embrace every part of the journey🤍

And I want to be here to share that part with you too. Because what you see in the final result is real, but it doesn’t happen in one attempt. Behind that handstand there are hours and hours of practice. A lot of sweat, frustration, curiosity, study, falling, getting back up… and also so much fun.

I’m still learning. Still falling. Still figuring things out 🤸🏼‍♀️

The following weeks I’m with the amazing @benifalcon around training me with his method 🙏🏼 so I hope I’ll get through it first of all 😂 and I’ll learn a lot! I’ll share the process ✨🤸🏼‍♀️

Two year ago I started an adventure. An adventure that honestly didn’t know where it would take me. I was completely stuck working in a full time corporate job, living the fast and crazy life of a big city and I felt soo disconnected from myself.

I needed to go to rediscover myself, reconnect and find out my way. And it is honestly one of the scariest things I’ve done in my life. I didn’t know when I was gonna come back, when I was gonna see my family and my friends again and I had no clue what I would have to face. Ididn’t know if I would meet myself in a good place, if I would find my way or if I would just get even more lost.

But as I always say, “intuition is always right” ✨🌱🧘🏼‍♀️

My trip started as a personal journey, wanting to deepen my practice of asana and spirituality. It was never meant to be for my professional path. India just called me and I had to listen to this call 🙏🏼 and it was sooo right. I found myself again in movement, oh myyy, how intelligent is the body.

How it turned into my professional path is a funny story. I went to a studio to offer myself as a bachata teacher, they had told me that they were offering different dance classes there. And it turned out that they already had an Indian guy teaching bachata, and they were happy to hire a Spanish girl to teach yoga 😅😅 so I accepted! And from that moment everything started happening.

I connected with my purpose. Guiding people to connect with themselves, their bodies, their breath, the presence, the awareness. And ever since I just don’t want to do anything else. I found my way, I found myself ✨

M y practice and my classes have evolved so much through these two years. I found the style that I love to teach, the cues I like to use, the techniques I want to follow and implement. Everyday is a gift and with it, everyday is a learning. I learnt to embrace everything that everyday brings, because today is a present. 🤩

So really grateful for the life I’m living 🙏🏼🌱 just wanted to share out here!

You don’t have to wait until you feel “back on track” to return to your practice. You don’t need to have been consistent. You don’t need to have moved enough. You don’t need to feel motivated.

You can come exactly as you are 🙏🏼

Because maybe the practice was never about becoming the version of yourself who has it all together. Maybe it’s about learning how to meet yourself through all the different versions of you. No earning. No catching up. Just begin again. And again, and again and again. Whenever you need, as many times as you need ✨🧘🏼‍♀️
