To disappear...to find yourself...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

What would be a better way than to connect with your inner light in nature... to breathe in gratitude and love... and calm and peace...to play under the sun, to move without effort, to flow with the breath, to disappear...to find yourself...just here, just now...❤ 

Everyone has their own story...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

Everyone has their own story…with beautiful things but also challenges and struggles in their life…things we may never know about…sometimes our hard times get the worst of us…we do things, we say things we wish never happened…and same goes for everyone…so next time when you feel challenged by someone’s behaviour or attitude to life, just know THEY may be going through some rough times…and they may be reacting that way because that’s the best they can do at that moment…no one of us is perfect…we are not supposed to be…but all of us have the ability to be compassionate if we decide so…❤ 

Life is really about having fun...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

Life is really about having fun and doing things that make you happy…sometimes we think too much and take ourselves and our lives too seriously…and then we decide not to go for some things because we don’t want to look stupid…if I can remember moments in my life when I was having the most fun, it would certainly be those moments when I allowed myself to be silly…it’s sooo liberating…how about next time when you go grocery shopping and they will be playing your favourite song, you will do a few dance moves or a handstand and just stop worrying about what others may think…:-)

Fill your heart with gratitude and acceptance...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

Many of us (and most likely all of us) seek in our lives a sense of contentment and belonging... and while we are able to grasp those from time to time for a short moment, they often disappear quite quickly...we get distracted by little things in our lives we put too much importance onto...we analyze, we judge, we blame, we feel like a victim...and while all this is happening, the contentment is within reach...fill your heart with gratitude and acceptance for where you are in your life right now...RIGHT NOW...this exact moment...this is the place for you to be at...with all the experiences you have, the challenges and the hard times...take a few deep breaths...look at the sky, close your eyes...be drawn into it...be a part of it...become the sky...feel yourself expanding beyond all those little things in your life...namaste...

Loving nature...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

If there is something I want to teach our kids (when we have them one day :-)) it's to love nature...to be excited about waking up early for the sunrise and have the patience to wait for the sunset even when it's windy and cold...to be curious about the outside...observing life in all forms and shapes and cultivating compassion for everything alive...to perceive little things and be really there... with the sunrays, the sound of the forest, the smell of the wild flowers, the texture of the rocks...I love the Blue Mountains so much, they will never lose the spark in my heart ❤
 

I'm learning to soften...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

I used to believe that only when you are hard on yourself, you will make it "far" in life... and while I've become stronger in some respects, I've also become more fragile...I have always been compassionate when it came to other people...but when it came to myself, not really...through yoga I have learned and still learning that I don't have to be hard on myself...I'm learning to soften and acknowledge where I am, being grateful for whatever comes in my life, for whatever I feel, for being alive...

Start your day with love...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

Start your day with love...for who you are and for your life...before you get out of bed, think about someone who brings joy into your life or who makes you feel inspired...maybe it's someone you see every day...maybe it's someone you barely know...send them a big hug...smile...

Take responsibility for your own growth...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

One of the biggest lessons I have learnt and still continuing to learn is to take responsibility for my own growth...whatever your passions is - yoga, dance, martial arts, rock climbing, writing, photography - be grateful for people, teachers, trainers who come into your life to share with you their wisdom but know it's YOU who has to keep growing even when they are not there for you or with you...keep the fire in your heart strong...

Be brave... Be free...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

So many times when life presents us with an opportunity/challenge to experience something new and grow, we feel it's too BIG for us...we feel small and vulnerable...we feel we are not ready...we don't want to leave the security we have in our lives right now but at the back of our minds we still wonder "what if"..."what if this is THE thing?"..."what if this opportunity will never come again?"

If you are drawn to something, there's reason why you feel this way...if there are things coming into your life, there's reason why they are coming just now :-)...believe me, you are ready...life is about doing things that excites you and no matter where they will take you, you will ALWAYS find it fulfilling and worth it...be brave...be free... ~ Namaste ~
 

Enjoy every day... it will never come back again...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

This morning was pretty special...fog, clouds and sunrise...when you mix all those together you know it's going to be amazing...I was still 20 min away from a secret lookout and I knew I had to run to catch it...I could see the sun painting a beautiful orange colour on the rocks on the opposite mountain when I ran through the bush...when I got there, the sun was already hidden behind the clouds...I missed it...but you know what? It was worth it...I took a few shots and enjoyed the silence and serenity mountains can offer...I couldn't drag myself away from there...when I had to leave, the sun lit two patches in the valley...it was laughing at me...that I ran and missed it and I had to run back when it was coming out again...this morning was very much about appreciating whatever comes into my life...I am grateful that I ran...every day is a blessing...and even though it may not be the best day of your life, enjoy it...fully...it will never come back again...

Be kind and caring...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

Be kind and caring...grateful for every day...stop and really enjoy life...appreciate every moment...even that which seems hurtful...look at things from both sides...don't take everything seriously...especially yourself...be silly and have fun...be ok with that not everyone will love you...love yourself...always...love your imperfections and stop trying to be perfect...you are perfect...learn to love spontaneity and not to plan all the time...be ok with not getting anything done on some days...smile...smile a lot...smile at random people on the street...find time for yourself...meditate...learn to keep going...learn not to give up on yourself...be kind...to yourself... especially...do what you love...and don't worry...you are awesome :-)

Choose to be happy...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

Spent the morning with friends enjoying chai latte and chatting about life...we came across the topic "When you change the way you look at the world, your world will change." It is sooo true...Sometimes we forget that we have the power to choose to be happy and we can learn not to allow others or circumstances around us to steal our inner joy...it's only up to us...when we choose to be happy and look at things from a positive perspective and approach challenges in our lives as lessons to learn from, all of the sudden we become more peaceful and connected. As a friend of mine and a yoga teacher too used to say: "What do you choose - happiness or suffering?" Keep your heart open and a smile in your soul :-)

Don't give up on yourself...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

Sometimes fear can get "the best" of us...we give up on things we love, we give up on things we are passionate about, we give up on our dreams, we give up on ourselves...I gave up on myself when I was following my dream to become a professional dancer...I thought I was not good enough...I though I was old...I thought my technique was not great...but you know what?...my passion for dance was always huge and still is...and I think this is the most important thing...if you really love something, don't allow others to stop you...and most importantly, don't allow YOURSELF to stop you...so next time when fear strikes, just tell yourself, "I'm just going to have fun and enjoy every minute...because this is what makes me happy" :-)

Grateful...

Veronika Polaskova

 
 

I am so grateful that life has taken me onto the path of yoga and for being able to share this beautiful old tradition that has changed my life and life of many other people. For learning to go deeper inward and find lessons I would otherwise miss in between all the distractions and stimulations our lives are brimming over with…the more I learn, the more there is still to learn…I am a teacher but a student as well…you may even see me in classes of other teachers…I love practicing with others in the room, the energy can be truly amazing…

If you ever pass by the Blue Mountains, come to take a class...would love to meet with you :-)
