2. in August the ultimate highlight of the year (one of The 3 Things I have to see in this life) MADONNA!!!!!

Living with pain - Every cloud has a silver lining

I have lived now with this nearly constant pain in my hipjoint for a couple of years. The hip joint cleaning operation I had in Februari helped, but also showed how badly the joint is damaged (arthrosis) - I saw the colour pictures taken inside the joint (isn't it amazing what modern medicine can do), and they where not pretty. And now I have to face it - The Pain is back...I need a new joint. I'm becoming a Bionic Woman. Everybody who knows me knows also that I don't want to use painkillers, want more soft and holistic alternatives. But little me is definitly not soft, holistic or sophisticated every day..like today: too tired after "pain night", no positive energy flowing inside, no Kabat-Zinn Mindfullness (that has helped me a lot), no bright side anywhere, the cold finnish summer making my cypriot soul crazy - and my dear Antsu has to deal with me as I am like the little finnish hedgehog saying "I'm NOT ****ing calm" ;) He is used to this, (and honestly most the time I am pretty positive) and takes care of me like no one never has done in my life before. We have finnish Midsummer this weekend, the weather is terribly cold, +13 and windy, but we have 3 days of work. Planning to enjoy ourselves with good food and totally relaxing. I'm feeling better allready.
And what is the silver lining? I have accepted that I can't jump or participate in high-impact classes ever again, there is several yoga poses I can't do anymore BUT I have veryvery strong abs now - if your leg is not working properly, you have to use your abs more to move correct. So I share with you a Shiva Rea abs serie I still can do - not alternate the legs in rocking bridge (only with my 'good' leg bent), but anyway. Check this up and try, it's not so hard that it looks like!

- Holistic, Mindfullness and Loving Kindness Hugs to all, P.

Have a very Sensual weekend...

Hard Candy - because I'm worth it...

I decided:

I don't need it, I don't want it, it's not practical cose it's white, I'm not a hoodie person.....

....but let's face it - I'm worth it, and thanks to my dear visa card i ordered it. Anyway, you have to wear proper clothes 6.8. in Helsinki, and they didn't sell the famous pink corset.

And dear Sis in Cyprus, if it's one size too big for me - it's all yours ;)

Annie Lennox has something very important to tell you, listen and join the campain

Antsu, my love, Tomorrow is The 569 Day...

5.6.99 early morning (4:30), engagement rings, promised to love you for the rest of my life and I DO

We heard this song in a little restaurant on our second date, and you told me how sometimes suddenly a song you hear matches so well to what you feel..

it was so romantic, I'll neverever forget it!

Let's have a nice day, check your iTunes - there is something for you!

From Ashtanga Athlete to "Be Kind to Yourself"-yogi

I started my yoga path with Ashtanga yoga 11 years ago. During the years I completely fell i love with this vigorous, strong, athletic yoga style, that felt perfect for my body and soul....but like life, everything is constantly moving and changing. I have changed. Totally. No power yogi anymore. Now my practise looks more or less like this:

Yoga DVD Channel - Jason Crandell: Morning Sequence

..and it really sooths whole little me, body and mind, soul and spirit.

ok, I still do need my vigorous, athletic training also
- that's what Indoor Cycling is for ;)

For all our Friends at Lady:

We are still going to have spinning and Body Vive classes on Saturdays during summer :)

See you there! HUGS!
