welcome :)

My name is Pi, yoga practitioner, student and teacher. It was through yoga that I found the path of living slowly, mindfully and intentionally. In today's fast-paced world, this way of living may be perceived as an act of rebellion, but it is essential to listen to what your body and mind need.

Yoga allows the practitioner to develop awareness and remember who they are, when removing every external layer, one by one.

Yoga classes are a space to return to your mind and body, using the breath as the thread that weaves them together. Beyond the physical movement, we explore how the yoga tradition guides us through our inner world and the world around us.

If you feel called to practice with me, please see the options below.

Some of the ways of how yoga shows up in my life. There are many more… what are some of yours?

It was never about someone else’s path, but your own.

Come with me to teach a yoga class on Saturday morning at @ace.vitality 🧘‍♀️

I love waking up early and cycling through the empty streets, readying themselves for another summer day 🌞

It gets me in such a joyful mood before guiding a class :)

✨Sunday 11.30am for a gentle practice with a focus on intentional body connection and mental clarity.

Just like in nature, winter asks us to slow down, stay in, and be more present. It’s in the darkness that we notice what needs to be brought to light.

Let this time be a time to honour your body and mind. Let it be a time where you stay in silence until you’re able to listen to yourself - really listen.

#wintersolstice #yogaforrecovery #yogaforreflection

Yoga has been my anchor in windy days.

My practice has grounded me when I felt I couldn’t put a thought together, and has helped me re-centre when it all felt too much.

If I fall out of any routines, yoga is the one thing I keep coming back to. It all starts with one breath. And then life does the rest.

#yogaforhealth #yogaforburnout #yogaforeveryone

Want to learn to do sirsasana (headstand)? You’re not going to like hearing this, but the secret is patience :)

Patience with yourself, your body, and most importantly, your mind. Your mind will very likely tell you that you should be doing it already, that you don’t have time to waste. Guess what, my mind has told me that for years. I patiently observed and, at some point, I even ignored! I practiced regularly over the years, but it was only when my body was ready that I was able to finally do it.

I often still need the wall next to me for piece of mind, and I am practicing removing it, with patience, moving at my own pace :)

What is your next goal? ✨

Slow days at home as I get back into a routine. There has been a lot of embracing solitude and discomfort, giving myself what I need, listening to my body and saying a lot of No’s. Taking care of myself so that I can care for others in a more meaningful and intentional way 🙂✨

one of the many reasons why I practice yoga, and recommend everyone gives it a try!, is that it has taught me so much about myself. One thing is that I’m not as fiery as I thought I was. The way we react or respond to things around us speaks about how we feel inside. If I’m able to take a step back and a deep breath in an unpredicted situation, I will respond so much more in touch with myself, my thoughts and emotions.

Yoga helps us cultivate presence and consciousness more and more; through breath, movement and introspection.

It’s magic ✨😍

Some days my yoga practice looks like this :) breathing, writing, stretching, nurturing 🧘‍♀️✨ short & sweet for when there’s not enough time or energy for more 🙏

What is SLOW LIVING?

✨ setting intentions everyday and in everything you do

🌺 having patience & compassion with others, AND with yourself

🌄 accepting the things you can't control

🧘🏼‍♀️ listening to your body & mind

🍂 pausing to notice and appreciate the small things

🌱 ever growing, at your own pace, with no judgement nor comparison.

Do you agree? Let me and others know your thoughts in the comments 😊

In days where we should isolate and keep the distance from eachother.. I'm lucky enough to be by the sea and to have a lot of outdoors space where I can walk and unwind without compromising anyone's health 🌊

I know many people don't have the same privilege, and are struggling emotionally and mentally. I'm sending love to you all ✨

Right now, I am practicing gratitude for my home, my family and the beautiful fresh ocean 💛🌊

#mindfulness #grateful #slowliving #gratitude #intentionalliving #simplelifehappylife

✨ Time for reflection, introspection, rest and care ✨

While I believe it is always the right time for a needed change, in the transition to a new year lies an opportunity to assess within and implement small steps towards a healthier, simpler and more content life.

A quick 10 min morning yoga is ALWAYS a huge mood booster to start the day ✨🧘🏼‍♀️

Do you prefer to exercise in the morning or evening? 😊⬇️

~slow mornings~

..are the best! For me, pretty much every morning is slow. I hate to rush and leave things half done. I'd rather wake up earlier and have time to do everything I need before I start my day 😌🍵

What about you?

#slowmorning #slowliving #mindfullness #cupoftea #morningroutine #journaling #inspiration #intentionsetting #intentionalliving

Taking a mental break for a few minutes, an hour, a weekend or even a couple of months is okay 😌✨

Practicing slow living has been a challenging journey for me, but it's really worth it.

Starting the morning with tea, having a mid-afternoon infusion, and ending the evening with chamomile tea are possibly my favourite moments of the day! 🍵

why minimalism? ✨

to me, minimalism is so much more than owning less physical things. it is making space for a clear mind. making time for things that bring joy. remove the clutter and go straight to the point.

it has taught me to be mindful in just everything I bring into my life. whether that's a physical item, a project, plans, or even a person.

what do you think about minimalism? ⬇️

It has been 3 years since I've stopped buying fast fashion 🤯

At first, I thought I would get bored of all my clothes and eventually would have to break the bank to buy sustainable and ethically made pieces.

I was wrong! The second hand market is now bigger than ever. With countless online shops and charity or thrift shops in every corner of the high street, second hand shopping is the most sustainable way to source our clothes. 🌱

Why? It not only means you are reusing a piece that would have otherwise likely gone to landfill, but you're also avoiding the production of a new piece and not supporting one of the most unethical and pollutant industries: fashion.

All the pieces I'm wearing are second hand: I got my trainers on @depop , my trousers were passed on to me from a family member, and I got the coat from an Instagram account that sells used clothes.

Where do you source your clothes these days? 🙃⬇️

5 Things I STOPPED buying to save the planet (and my wallet!)

🧥 in 2019, I decided to stop buying new clothes, and now I only buy second hand, swap with family or friends, or even shop from my own wardrobe - you'd be surprised how many new outfits you can make with forgotten clothes!

🤧 I have soo many allergies that I need to blow my nose every 10 minutes. if I used tissue paper, I would quickly have a rash and flood the bin with tissues. I also don't buy new hankies: I have some that I found in my parents' old drawers and more recently I learned how to use an old tshirt to make my own hankies!

📚 this is a tricky one, since I love books and book shops! however, in recent years I completely stopped buying and instead, I have been finishing all my already owned books, I borrow from friends and family, and I got a library card so I can borrow endless books at a time without spending a penny!

👑 instead of having a full drawer of hundreds of cheaply made jewellery, that we all know it's going to rust after a few years, I decided to only buy from ethical, sustainable and good quality brands. more recently I got some items from @analuisany which I highly recommend!

💆🏼 buying solid soap rather than liquid in a bottle has many benefits to both the earth, our wallets and our health. firstly, solid versions last longer which makes it cheaper because you buy it less times per year. secondly, not only the plastic packaging of a liquid shampoo is not ideal, but the biggest difference between the two is that liquid options have a lot of water in them (it is in fact the main ingredient), whereas the solid version is a concentrated solution. this means that the transport of liquid products is much less efficient than the solid ones (since it is mainly transporting unnecessary water) and this creates a huge carbon footprint that could easily be avoided!

I hope this was a fun, useful video! ☺️

Let me know in the comments if you also stopped buying any of those things ↓

First time posting in a while! 🌱

I tried out this Tofu Katsu Curry recipe from @thegoodbite and it's simply delicious! As usual, I didn't have all the ingredients but made a bit my own and it turned out divine 🤤

It reminds me of @wagamama_uk 's incredible vegan katsu curry 😋

Let me know if you'd like to know how I made it! ↓

Happy 2021!

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I have been slowly getting back to normal life since the holidays. I never really write down new year's resolutions as I am a strong believer that if something is wrong or could be better in my life, I tend to try and change it immediately, rather than wait for a 'new beginning' to make the change.

However, there are always things that I aim to improve and, this time, I will write them here.

🧘🏼‍♀️ I started #ywaBreath, the 30 day yoga journey in the Yoga with Adrienne YT channel, and I really want to stick with it through out the month! I'm putting it out here so I make myself accountable 😌

🌄 Waking up at sunrise. I love rising before the world wakes up, but lately I have been getting out of track. I really miss the endless benefits it brings me every single day. From having extra time to exercise, stretch or meditate; to starting my day slowly and intentionally, rather than rushing and ending up having an agitated and stressful day. My favourite thing in my slow mornings is to use my planner to plan everything I need to do in my day, as well as long term goals.

✨ Putting myself first. Even though it is an impossible task, we tend to try to please everyone, even if it does not make sense for us. By putting myself first, rather than trying to please everyone else, I will be more true to myself, more present and happier. When I show up for myself, I show up better for others as well. It is not a selfish move. It is fixing what is wrong at home first, before going to fix my neighbour's.

🙏🏻 Having the courage to dive into the projects that have been on my mind for the last couple of years, but that I never had the courage to start. Nowadays, there is so much that is expected from us. What job to take, how and when to start a family, how much we should earn. Everything is written down as a mandatory pathway that, if we dare to challenge, something is wrong with us. Well, this year, I will try to drop everything I know it is expected from me, all the pressure from others and from my own expectations. And I will trust the universe more 🙏🏻

There you have it, some of my reflections for the new year.✨❤️

My minimalist hair products💆🏼‍♀️

All my hair care products: a hairbrush that I’ve had forever (literally since I can remember and it’s still in great shape!), a shampoo bar from @mindthetrash and a conditioner bar from @zerolaboratorio.

I love my hair the way it is and I don’t need to apply anything else on it. I let it air dry, I trim it myself once or twice a year and that’s it! As silly as it may sound, I like it messy, voluminous, and untamed.

I used to hate my hair colour, its shape, length and form. I used to dye it blonde, dark brown and even red; and I used to straighten it a lot. I was trying to follow trends that I didn’t identify myself with, in an attempt to be accepted by others, when I didn’t accept myself to begin with (deep thoughts here!) As a result, I was never happy with the way that I looked, always seeking for the next makeover to do with my hair.

In the last few years, realised how beautiful our natural traits are if we just let them be, taking care of them with love and confidence. I learned that less is (so much) more😊

I DID IT! Walked 100 km in the month of June!!! I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't always easy to keep up. When I think I have "all the time in the world" to do something, I tend to procrastinate until the last minute.

Not this month though!
