Close your eyes, breath deeply, and imagine a week full of yoga, amazing people, meditation, stunning Tuscan countryside, dancing meditations, hula hoping, being wild, Italian food, walks along wineries and wine tasting experience, full moon ceremony of gratitude, laughing, releasing, love, love and much love. A sacred space free of judgment where everyone is free to be themselves, to express themselves and to celebrate life! This is La Dolce Vita Yoga Holiday reTreat. It was only 2 years ago that I stepped out of my comfort zone to jump towards the unknown driven only by a bizarre sensation of “this must be right even though I don’t know why and it’s not rational at all.” Intuition? Only now I can think of that sensation as more than intuition. It’s more like a spiritual wisdom, a message from the universe. Raise of AWARENESS. Yoga give us the tools to raise the awareness of what is good for us and what is not, and then pursue the former. It is not easy. Nowadays it is not easy to just follow what makes you feel happier. Because there is the thinking mind, the unnatural society rules, the schedules, the rash hours, the to-do lists, the DEADlines, the multitasking skill to improve, the “where do you see yourself in 5 years time?” interview question, the “Christmas is coming adds 4 months before and then when it comes we are already bored with it” which are all BRINGING US TOO FAR FROM THE PRESENT MOMENT, too far from understanding what our simple needs are. If you are not in the present, you cannot meet your real self. Cause you are only here and now. If you are not here you cannot find peace. I feel so grateful that day I trusted my intuition. I gave it a go. And now, I’m here, in this present, not sure about what’s next, but doing what makes me feel happy and healthy now and with one mission: inspire and empower others to follow their dreams, to love more, to dance more, to LET GO more, to simply meet their real self, listen to the inner guru and go with the flow. I am even more grateful to be able to say now that my first 2 ever yoga holiday retreat were a great success, magical weeks and I’m looking forward to live the next ones in 2017. But before, a winter in Asia in between India, Thailand and Bali to get inspired and be able to inspire even more. |
