Ahhhh I booked a flight … and this was a pretty

Ahhhh I booked a flight … and this was a pretty big thing for me.

About 8 years ago I made a decision - I decided to quit flying for an undefined time.

The topic was brought to me through climate activist organisations and my own research.
Especially my first and only trip outside of Europe opened my eyes. I had a conversation with a Lao citizen, who shared his travelling experience with me. He hasn’t been outside of his country his whole life. The biggest trips were to the different cities of Lao ..
- did you know that less than 20% of the world's population has ever taken a flight?
Travelling is luxury. Flying is a luxury many people can’t afford. But the impact of flying is immense and hits the poorest the most.

Now I am excited to step on this airplane and arrive in almost no time in Chile.
I have dreamed of visiting this friend in Chile for many years.
She went there 5 years ago to travel, and never returned because of love <3

To cross the Atlantic in less than a day feels crazy to me. Ohhh I am still dreaming of crossing the Atlantic one day by sailing boat.
Stopping flying was one of the best decisions to take in my life. It opened up my mind to all other ways of transportation - like buses, trains, ferries, autostop, sailing,..
Especially autostop took my heart and helped me to travel aligned with my values: connecting with strangers, giving and receiving, unconditional trust & love, and making the most of unused resources. Oh and what a confidence boost it brought.

While I encourage exploring the world and challenging perspectives, I stress being aware of the environmental impact of every flight. Flying shouldn't be a casual weekend trip or the default transportation choice. It shouldn't be glamorized.

Let’s consider the necessity of frequent long-distance flights. Let’s embrace a slower, more quality-focused approach to travel. Connect with places & people on a deeper level. Explore places close to you rather than constantly seeking distant destinations.

Do you like your feet?

Recently I had a conversation which gave me a different view on a topic which I didn’t realise before.
I met someone, who told me “I don’t like my feet! Do you like yours?”
I answered with a lot of passion: “Yes actually, I love my feet!”
I looked down to my feet, without shoes and socks and moved all my toes playfully. I even coloured my nails recently.

I realised that this might not be the case for many people.
We are used to keep our feet inside shoes all day long.  Shoes which might force the feet to change their shape, and might not look nice to us.
Shoes which don’t let the feet breathe, so they start to smell.
Or maybe it is just the general impression that - feet are dirty.

I realised how lucky I am to be able to go to festivals and parties where dancing barefoot is common, safe and fun.
I love to explore the world with my feet. Walking in the grass, forest, river, sand,..
They are part of my body, and my body just loves to explore.
When I was young I loved to pick up things from the floor with my toes. Just because - why not.
Maybe this is also the reason why I like my feet so much. Because I use them. They help me explore the world. They help me feel the ground.

What about you?
Do you like your feet?
Do you use your feet?
Maybe this is a little reminder to just go a little more barefoot from time to time. And look down to these beauties <3

The last months I was lucky to dive very deep into

The last months I was lucky to dive very deep into my biggest passion.
I started with AcroYoga around 8 years by now, and I am practising it on and off.

This summer I was very lucky to practice and learn a lot at @brunnenhaus.retreatcenter ❤️
afterwards travelling to various festivals, playing, falling, learning.

Last week I joined the @wasser.fest to share 4 AcroYoga and 2 Thai Yoga Massage workshops.
Woooow....the energy which is created by festivals is amazing. The people curious, open and playful.
Bringing me back to the reason why I think I will forever stick to this practice.

AcroYoga is diversity & community
AcroYoga makes you friends
AcroYoga helps to trust into yourself and others
AcroYoga feels strong & powerful
AcroYoga is silly, playful and just a lot of fun
AcroYoga is also soft, mindful & improves the way we communicate

If you are in Austria and want to learn more about Acro
Come and join us in Stockerau
Together with @dasyogahaus.eu I will be sharing a 6 week intro course into AcroYoga ❤️

Throwback to 3 days hiking in Salzburg together wi

Throwback to 3 days hiking in Salzburg together with my brothers and father.
We are trying to make this a yearly ritual - which makes me very happy. And is a good reason for me to come to Austria.

-----

Today I met a woman in my village. She is visiting her daughter.

We started to walk a little bit together. And she told me about herself:
She grew up and lives in the mountains of Salzburg. She is used to walking & hiking every day.
She is 94 years old, and when we met she was already walking for almost 1 hour.
She joined me for my walk with the dogs, and kept almost our speed using her walking sticks.

I wish to stay as smiling and active in this age as she is ❤️
Being able to prioritize to move my body daily and getting out into nature as much as possible

I am excited for this years:
Setukara Yogadays - Inclusive Yogadays

From 8th to the 12th of June we will meet in beautiful Schloss Schielleiten again.

Exploring what community means.
Discussing what inclusion means.
Experiencing what acceptance means.

It is a place where I can really feel that all my facets are welcome.
It's a place where I can learn again that it is so needed that we are different. And that we all have various disabilities.

Everyone is needed.
Without you our community is not complete.

This world needs YOU - in your unique way.

Ich freue mich auf die diesjährigen:
Setukara Yogatage – Inklusive Yogatage

Vom 8. bis 12. Juni treffen wir uns wieder im wunderschönen Schloss Schielleiten.

Entdecken, was Gemeinschaft bedeutet.
Diskutieren, was Inklusion bedeutet.
Erleben, was Akzeptanz bedeutet.

Es ist ein Ort, an dem ich wirklich spüren kann, dass alle meine Facetten willkommen sind.
Es ist ein Ort, an dem ich wieder lernen kann, dass es so wichtig ist, dass wir anders sind. Und dass wir alle verschiedene Behinderungen haben.

Du bist wichtig.
Ohne dich ist unsere Gemeinschaft nicht komplett.

Diese Welt braucht DICH – auf deine einzigartige Art und Weise.
