Last Sunday :) It was a great pleasure to practice with you and to see the community growing.

I am tempted to organize one more but the temperature is dropping fast and the rainy days prevail, so I'm not sure yet ;)

Some of you have asked me to organize a small, semi-private indoor group (about 5-6 people) in the Swiss Riviera.

It could be possible but I have to see first how many people are interested, how big is their determination and what languages they speak 😘

If you would be interested in joining such a group, please drop me a message 🌻

Can the practice of yoga be unsafe?

The answer is yes.

I have met many students who have been injured in yoga classes (and yoga teachers too!).

I myself have been injured several times in yoga classes when I was younger and less vigilant. My knee, my back, my hip....

I remember very vividly how a yoga teacher weighing about 100 kg sat on my back in a forward bend. The consequences of this I still feel to this day .

Some of the risk factors for injury in yoga classes:
- packed group yoga classes where the teacher is unable to help all students present in the class
- teaching potentially dangerous postures without stating contraindications
- lack of basic medical knowledge among some yoga teachers
- peer pressure that causes people to choose a version of a pose that is too difficult for their current condition
- overconfidence among some teachers leading to dangerous manual corrections
- performing advanced poses without adequate preparation.

Yoga is a wonderful practice. But in order to practice it for a long time, stay vigilant 💙

My grandmother was a living example of this truth.
And I am eternally grateful to her for passing it on to us. It makes life so much easier.

As for me, my inner critic is much harsher than other people ;) But doing my best very effectively makes her silent ;)

When my inner critic raises her voice that "I'm not doing something well enough", I reply "maybe so, but that's already my best. If I am a donkey, I am a donkey.Wishing to be a racehorse right now will change nothing, except making me unhappy, ".

Then she has no more arguments, and I can peacefully keep doing what I am doing.... the best I can and fully happy to be a donkey :)
