Even if is only 15/20min a day, it will give the change to practice Swadhyaya the 4th Nyama.

We can observe if thee:

Body is lazy or active

Breath awaken or sleepy, fast or slow

Ego is talking louder or quiet

The will is tamasic (little), Rajasic (big) or Sattvic (balanced).

Observe and notice the flunctuations in the all levels of understanding, senses and perception.

You will start to know the self.

You can start to choose what to keep and what to let go

Consistent practice will help you in your path, whatever her spiritual, physical, meantal practices you choose.

Choose it right šŸ’«

So I chose to take two weeks of my holidays for myself.

I went to Odeceixe and immersed myself in Ashtanga with Petri RƤisƤnen at Yoga Roots Odeceixe — Mysore practice, pranayama, adjustments and energy healing.

I camped, lived close to nature, spent time with my cats Samgha and Shakti, danced, listened to music, laughed, practised and, most importantly, gave myself the space to listen.

And I kept thinking about how easily we can forget to do this.

We wait until we’re exhausted.
Until we feel lost.
Until there is heaviness in the whole being
Until our body or mind asks us to stop.
But what if we didn’t always have to wait that long?

What if taking care of ourselves meant noticing earlier when we need to step away, slow down, reconnect and listen?

This is also what I hope to offer through my teaching.
Not only a practice that tells you what you should be doing — but a space where you can become quiet enough to discover what you actually need.

So I’m curious…
What do you do when you feel disconnected from yourself?

Do you go into nature?
Return to your practice?
Travel?
Rest?
Spend time with people or animals you love?
Or something completely different?

I’d genuinely love to hear and feel inspired from all of you šŸŒæšŸ¤

When you feel disconnected…

Sometimes, you need to create space to come back to yourself.

Lately, I realised that I hadn’t been creating enough space for my own practice and for real connection. So I decided to spend two weeks of my holidays doing a 2-week Ashtanga Yoga immersion with at in Odeceixe.

For two weeks, I chose a different kind of rhythm.

Practising.
Camping.
Living close to nature.
Dancing.
Listening to good music.
Laughing with friends.
And sharing it all with some of my favourite beings — Samgha and Shakti, my cats. šŸ¾šŸ¤

Sometimes reconnection doesn’t come from adding more to your life.

Sometimes, it comes from creating space for what truly brings you back to yourself.

And this was my way of coming home. 🌿

No scrip no filters… let’s be honest time.
This comes from my understanding when observing my own emotional availability and how I avoid dealing with ā€œsh*tā€.

We create different addictions to the same goal, avoid dealing with what is, take the necessary time to address our emotions, to address our personal baggage- the hurt ego and specially to surrender to the whole.

Hence we let the ego to create the individuality, I’m different. Reality is we normally behave like everybody else.
We get bored, annoyed, sensitive, distracted, frustrated etccccc….

Until we start with a reflective practice

Mindfulness
Conscious breathing
Conscious movement
conscious awareness

To return to our true nature
Wholeness

5 reasons I take my socks off before yoga ā¤µļø

1. I want to feel the ground

The science:
Your feet provide important sensory information about pressure, contact and body position. Practising barefoot gives you direct sensory feedback

The yoga view:
Yoga asks us to become present through direct experience. The ground beneath the feet becomes something to feel.

2. I want my feet to
participate in the practice

The science:
The feet contribute to balance, stability and movement.
Without socks, you can more easily feel and adjust your contact with the around.

The yoga view:
The feet are part of the foundation of many asanas.
Rather than treating them as passive supports, yoga invites us to develop awareness of how we establish our base.

3. I want to notice what is actually happening in my body

The science:
Yoga interventions have been associated with improvements in body awareness.

The yoga view:
This is one of the reasons I practise.
Not to escape the body-but to listen to it.
The sensation in my feet, the breath, tension in my shoulders, resistance, ease...

4. Taking off my socks helps me arrive

The science:
Repeated actions can become cues associated with particular behaviours and mental states.
A simple ritual can help create a transition between one activity and another.

The yoga view:
For me, taking off my socks is a small act of pratyahara-turning attention away from the constant pull of the outside world and toward experience itself.
It's my little signal:
I'm here.
I'm practising.
I'm listening.

5. Because yoga isn't about becoming better at escaping yourself

The science:
Research on yoga and mindfulness suggests
potential improvements in body awareness and interoceptive awareness.

The yoga view:
This is where yoga becomes much bigger than flexibility.
We don't practise only to make the body look different.
We practise to become more intimate with what is actually here.
The uncomfortable sensation.
The restless mind.
The emotion we'd rather avoid.
The breath.
The body.
We learn to stay

**What is Yoga?**

This isn’t a definition from a textbook.

It’s simply my experience.

Yoga isn’t about becoming more flexible, achieving difficult postures, or looking a certain way.

It’s a practice of paying attention.

A practice of becoming more aware of our habits, reactions, fears, strengths, and the stories we tell ourselves.

For me, yoga is not about perfection.
It’s about honesty.

Some days the practice feels strong.
Some days it feels messy.
Both are part of the path.

The more I practice, the less interested I become in performing yoga and the more interested I become in living it.

Curious to hear your thoughts:
**What does yoga mean to you?**

I’m Arminda Ferreira.
Anarchist. Squatter. Punk. Animal lover.
Former drug addict and smoker.
A human being navigating life the best I can.

For many years I searched outside of myself for freedom, belonging, meaning, intensity, escape.
Sometimes through rebellion. Sometimes through destruction. Sometimes through survival.

Yoga did not arrive in my life as perfection.
It arrived as a mirror.

A practice that slowly taught me how to sit with discomfort, observe my patterns, breathe through chaos, and reconnect with something more sincere underneath all the noise.

I still carry past experiences, past traumas, old reactions and wounds.
Sometimes I still see life through those lenses.
I am not beyond being human.

But as much as I can, I try to live through the lens of yoga.
Through awareness. Through compassion. Through truth. Through presence.

For me yoga is not expensive clothes, impossible postures, or pretending to be healed.
Yoga is how you speak to people.
How you treat animals.
How you deal with suffering.
How you hold yourself when life becomes uncomfortable.
How you begin again and again.

ā€œYoga is not a work-out, it is a work-in. And this is the point of spiritual practice; to make us teachable; to open our hearts and focus our awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are.ā€
— Rolf Gates
