Especially for women, but for everybody really, it’s imperative that we check in with our bodies. By the way, with our minds as well. How is that going to happen if we don’t have a way of establishing contact? Whether we do it digitally, visually or by cultivating a regular physical or mindfulness practice, we must enter communication with our body - all parts of it. How else will we notice changes? How else can we become literate in the language of our body and intimate with ourselves?

Wir können nicht aus unserer Haut raus. Unsere Gesellschaft und Kultur ist von Fatphobia (panische Angst vor Übergewicht) geprägt. Schlankheit steht nicht nur in Verbindung mit Schönheit. Einer übergewichtigen Person sprechen wir sofort Qualitäten wie Selbstdisziplin, Zuverlässigkeit, sogar Intelligenz ab. Kein Wunder sind wir deswegen auch mit uns selbst so streng.

wir intensiv atmen, öffnen sich die emotionalen Schleusen. Warum eigentlich? Der Versuch einer Einordnung.
So oft konsumieren wir – egal was – um ein Gefühl von Unzulänglichkeit oder Unzugehörigkeit zu überdecken. Wir erleben einen kurzen Glücksmoment – auch bekannt als Dopamin-Kick – und das Problem scheint zumindest vorübergehend aus der Welt.
One of the most conspicuous changes after the birth of a child, especially if it's your first, is that you go from being an independent person to being at the beck and call of a tiny human. Often we don't have time and space to do what we did before to soothe our nerves. Whether it was meditation, running, playing the piano or having a quiet chat with our partner – in the beginning, there's hardly any time for it.

Yoga – a lifeline for recovering addicts during the coronavirus pandemic
The news of the pandemic was scary for everyone, and more so for people with a weakened nervous system. Addicts, whether recovering or not, felt the strain of the global uncertainty intensely. Using is a way of self-medicating when addicts can’t cope. It’s hard for them not to reach for their drug of choice when feeling out of control, frightened or threatened. For weeks, many of the life savers normally available to them, remained out of reach.

In yogic circles, setting an intention isn't the same as a new year's resolution. It doesn't mean bending over backwards to reach my goal. You formulate your intention in the privacy of your mind and leave it at that. Still, something within re-aligns. It's like the act of unfurling the sail on the mast.
