She is also very inspired by astrology, oracle cards and the power of journaling.
My morning routine: I love waking up and taking it so so slow, lighting candles and meditating (coffee in hand), and then reading/journaling or drawing an oracle card. I always find time for these quiet mornings, and it is a sacred time for me.
The world needs more of: Spiritual people, rest and relaxation, and with that comes compassion for oneself and others.
I believe in: my bodys wisdom, my intuition and to rest deeply and often
Love is: trust, compassionate and strong
I can't get enough of: CATS! Yoga nidra, baking, resting, nature, deep conversations, yoga, astrology, cuddles and hugs, cacao and reading + telling people to relax!
Yoga is: the philosophy and practice inspiring me to be a better, more compassionate, slower and calmer version of myself + my way home
My mantra: All action begins in rest - Lao Tzu
This year I want to: share what has inspired me (yoga!) hoping it will inspire more people into a consciously slow and restful way of life + share my cakes and goodies with the world!
