This may be the most poetic book on the anatomy of the human body that I have read to date.

"Anatomy Trains" by Thomas W. Myers is like a precious guide to the fascinating world of our bodies, and I can't emphasize enough how foundational it was for my yoga teacher training and the development of Pralaya Yoga sequences and workshops! 🗺️💫

About how we are essentially constantly determined by our own history, if we ignore or idealize it, because we have continued to live in...

Back into your body, back in here and now. Learn how to ground yourself, how to feel from deep inside what is actually going on in your system, who's "driving your bus". There're no difficult steps, nor rituals, nor meditating on the top of the holy mountain somewhere in Himalayas.

Knowing how our nervous system works is a key to understanding of our own behavioural reactions and reactions of others. It gives us the insights of how we can regulate and co-regulate so we don't blame ourselves for things we've done or haven't done (the main purpose of our nervous system is just to keep us safe, and...

A good friend of mine recommended me this one, when my life looked way too complicated to me.
