Unfold Your Mat

In this sea of opinions out there it is easy to lose oneself and start fullfiling other people's expectations of you instead of your deepest dreams. I think growing up is the process of starting to peel layers of fake knowledge and getting closer to our hearts. Sure, life is a sweet balance between pragmatism and dreams, yet being human means that we have the power to imagine, create and change, poetry is what our very existence is. We all have an inner artist that sometimes,most times,we start losing as we "grow up"... I say, the way to feel alive, fulfilled, in peace and centered is to bring that inner artist to life. For that we need quiet time, we need dedication, we need reflection, we need discipline to do what's good for us and not run after each distraction that comes our way. This is hard work, it's always been, it'll always be, especially in this time and age of instant gratification. Yet this is part of the journey of being human and wanting more from our existence❣️ This is for the warriors and weird people who believe they can continue to grow into beautiful people 💖 Our practice is the perfect condition to practice just that - connection with oneself and reflection. It brings quality to our life, it is more than just a cute distraction 🔥 Practice & unfold yourself 🙏 Trust yourself, have faith in yourself & allow the process to lead the way ❣️ Inhale. Exhale. Repeat 💫 Love, Lavinia

The balance of repetition and novelty in yoga practice ⚖️ In yoga, the magic lies in the balance between repetition and novelty. As we explore new techniques and poses, we encounter layers of complexity in both body and mind. But with repetition comes mastery. The more we revisit a pose, the deeper our understanding grows, unlocking greater physical, mental and emotional benefits. 🧘‍♀️ We need to practice a pose many times to understand it's techniques and many more times to truly embody it. With time, we stop DOING the pose and we BECOME the pose. Every transition, every shape is an opportunity to meditate, quiet the mind and work with the breath. This mindful practice not only sharpens our awareness but also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, bringing us into a state of calm, healing and balance. 💫 Consistency in yoga isn't just about mastering the body, it's about creating space for the mind and heart to grow 💖 📸 @costel_lucian ❤️ #YogaJourney #unfoldyourmat #yoga #yogawisdom #yogagöteborg #meditationinmotion #breathworkmeditation #mindfulmovement #parasympatheticnervoussystem #restandrelaxation #yogateacher

The power of recovery & deep breaths in a busy world 🙏 In a world where burnout and sensory overwhelm have become the norm, it's more important than ever to prioritize recovery and relaxation. Taking time to reconnect with stillness and silence isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity for our well-being 🌱 Through mindful breathwork and yoga, we can tap into the parasympathetic nervous system, helping our bodies shift out of the "fight or flight" mode into a state of rest,healing and deep relaxation. When we slow down, we allow our body to recover, the mind to reset, and the nervous system to calm 🧘‍♀️ This creates space for clarity, balance, creativity and true connection to ourselves. Remember, healing happens when we give ourselves permission to be,not just do ✨ Healing happens in meeting deeper layers of ourselves and learning how to get to the core 💓 Teaching every day except Sunday this week! Come practice✨ See you on the mat!

Hej allihopa ☺️ Jag funderar på att starta en Lunchyoga klass på svenska 😍 Antingen kan vi göra en blandning av dynamisk yoga med avslappnande position eller lugn yoga som Soft Yoga eller även Yinyoga 😍 Vad tror du? Vill du ha en riktigt skön lunchpaus som ger dig energi för resten av dagen? 💫 Hör av dig via Dm eller mejla info@unfoldyourmat.com 🌼 Lavinia #lunchyoga #unfoldyourmat #yoga #yogagöteborg #kålltorp #örgryte #olskroken #yogagöteborg #östragöteborg #yogastudio

🌟 A Big Thank You to My Amazing Beginner Yogis 🌟 Introducing new people to yoga is one of my absolute favorite things to do, and I’m so grateful that our paths have crossed this autumn. Being with you on the mat every week inspires me and helps me be a better teacher. I’m beyond proud of each and every one of you for your bravery in stepping outside your comfort zone, for bringing your whole, authentic selves to class, and for your willingness to work on yourself and learn something new. 💫 I hope this practice brings you everything you wished for and more. As I shared in our last class, if you have the willingness to work with yourself through challenges, discomfort, and adversities with compassion and perseverance, you have EVERYTHING. ✨ Wishing you all the best on your yoga journey.🙏💖 Big hug, Lavinia #beginneryogis #yogajourney #gratefulteacher #proudofyou #braveryonthemat #nybörjare #nybörjaryoga #laviniayoga #unfoldyourmat #yogalife #KeepGrowing
