Becoming a yogi baby

I wish I knew I had sweet and soft emotional releases at the tip of my fingers earlier in my life. Indulging in this beautiful practice could’ve saved me from all the jail time. Just kidding, but not knowing how incredibly good yoga works for my body feels like I’ve wasted so much time on exercises that never really resonated with me. I've fallen in love with the calm but energetic endorphins that infiltrates my mind after I’ve given my body so much well deserved love. With a balanced posture and a sound mind, one can easily get addicted to grounded euphoria, one of the most soothing feelings I’ve ever experienced during exercise.


Obstacles are the cost of greatness, especially when it comes to pushing limits and seeing what your body allows you to do. I’ve always believed in this huge misconception that one needs to be extremely flexible for yoga to be enjoyable and even doable, but I’ve learned that it’s the furthest thing from the truth. Yoga is for every girl that wants to enter into a world of blissful tranquility. It builds the beautiful pathway to a deep and meaningful understanding between you and the forever evolving movements of your body. It improves your posture and it’s incredibly beneficial for your overall health and state of mind. Escaping into this soothing practice also tones the muscles and opens the lungs, something I can’t seem to get enough of.


“Make the pose work for your body, don’t make your body work for the pose” is what Lezy Pretorius, yoga instructor and guru lives by. I absolutely loved this saying, because it really motivates people to look beyond the limitations, they think they might have during the practice. Lezy helped me to enter the yogi world with the tools and knowledge I needed to strengthen my body’s posture to its fullest. I’ve been exceedingly happy to have found my Zen and drown in all the tranquility yoga has to offer.

Life is like a desert, you only regret the oasis you didn't drink from

  I feel like a young tree that's been repotted in new soil, new exciting environmental conditions, and pruned to the branch in order to survive the great transition from Africa to Europe. My favorite and familiar natural habitat, best friends, loving family and the carefully planned daily routines, under which I recieved so much shelter and safety for my well nestled South-African excistence, are no more. I've been uprooted and I've finally reached somewhat of a stabilizing point where I've processed just enough to let you guys in on what has been the most adventurous and trying time of my life. As many of you know I was pretty well settled in the comfort that came from the close to perfect big city life my small town heart has been blessed with. The moments I got to savor whilst watching the sunrise from my cute little balcony, teaching students from across the country, having my dream job as a Makeup Lecturer and being around my nearest and dearest was enough to ...

For the boys: This is how you'll know she's a keeper

H ey Tiger! I asked a few male creatures what they would like to read about and this topic jumped up first. It's a goodie, I must say! Its enlightening to know there's still a few genuine fella's out there who actually pick their partners based on more than just the three common B's. I would say find a girl with a horrible tattoo and marry her. She knows how to make bad decisions and stick with them. Just kidding. Obviously there is no such thing as the ideal well rounded partner, we're all flawed humans striving to perfect our existence in every and any way we can. But if you're lucky enough to find someone who's willing to better herself for the greater good, hang in there. Its not easy to change one's true, sinful nature and a willing heart should be celebrated for its bravery.  If she takes good care of herself physically she will take good care of you. Self respect is a attribute you definitely want your girl to have. I'm not saying don't ...
