Accepting changes in our inner and outer world as Accepting changes in our inner and outer world as seasons is accepting reality and embracing what is. So often we resist changes. When we resist we spend a lot of energy resisting/being against what is and in this make it soooo hard for ourselves. I witness this in so many people on and off the mat - and in all honesty I also still catch myself caught up in holding on to a different version of me on occasion ….😃 I’m grateful I now have the resources to hold space for when this may happen, rather than react and bully myself. When we observe nature, we observe that the only given in life is change. Wishing for everyone to witness all the immense beauty and power within the process of transformation. And wishing for everyone to embrace changes rather than resisting them. 🍃💛🍂 #yogalife #ashtangayoga #yogagroningen #somaticexperiencing #ashtangayogagroningen #ritam #change
One of our regulars moved away in July and asked m One of our regulars moved away in July and asked me today on how to find a new shala and teacher. Here are my 5 cents. If you have anything to add, please comment below ⬇️ (I’m still a bit nervous doing these lives and probably forget half the things I want to talk about 😄🙈) Obviously the discussion goes beyond mere credentials, and takes into consideration teachers holding space in a Mysore Room who have their own practice and walk the talk. #mysorestyleashtangayoga #ashtangalovers #yogagroningen #yoganederland #groningen #groningeninbeeld #ashtangi #ashtangagroningen #ashtangastudent #studentteacher #coregulation #yogastudent #ashtangayoga #ashtangalife
Your practice is gloriously yours. A special time Your practice is gloriously yours. A special time to connect within. Your practice should benefit your life, and not isolate you or prepare you for Ashtanga Olympics. Enjoy your practice. It’s yours.

🌟 Exciting news for all Ashtanga practitioners! 🌟 Exciting news for all Ashtanga practitioners! 🌟 For the past 3 years, it’s been an absolute joy to share my 6-months Intensive Ashtanga and Ayurveda Programs with so many of you. These programs have been such a special space, where we come together over time, immersing ourselves deeply in all things Ashtanga Yoga - with many shared laughs and insights. Watching so many of you grow—not just in your practice and skill but also also in perspective and self-compassion—has been truly inspiring. There’s something incredibly meaningful about being part of that journey with you. Now, I’m excited to announce something very special for 2025: The One Year Ashtanga Yoga Nourishment Path starting on January 25th! ✨ This year-long program is designed for all levels, also for those of you who’ve joined me in the past. We’ll be diving deep into practical skills, theory, Ayurveda teachings & self-care, and support to help enrich not only your Ashtanga practice but also how you experience life itself. If you’re ready to nurture your practice and yourself in a supportive community, enrollment is now open!

Today, we say goodbye to one of our dear regulars, Today, we say goodbye to one of our dear regulars, Palak @flickeringhues , as she heads back to India. Having one of our regulars leave always comes with the coexistence of different emotions. There is sadness because we’ll deeply miss Palak’s gentle and compassionate energy and the connection we’ve built over time. When someone shows up regularly, as Palak, they really “become part of the Mysore Room” and their absence leaves an empty spot. Also, the bond between teacher and student grows over time with depth as the process as teaching becomes more subtle. But there’s also so much joy first of all for the beautiful connection and also in knowing that Palak leaves with a strong toolbox of practices she’s cultivated over the time she’s been with us. Now Palak is rooted in her Kriya, Pranayama and Asana practice and is trying to really be discerning and embrace a balance between abhyasa (dedicated practice) and vairagya (surrender). She established a sadhana that will guide her no matter where life takes her. And she will be forever be in our hearts 💞 Palak, thank you for allowing me to be part of your practice journey and for letting me witness your inner shifts along the way. You’re taking so much beauty with you, and I know you’ll continue to bring even more into the world. Wishing you joy, growth, peace, and every success on your path. 🌿💛 (And…. secretly hoping we still see you at practice tomorrow before you fly away 🪽🌟) 📸 1: of the candles and flower leaves outside the shale this morning 📸 2: Palak last week when she took photos for me 📸 3: of both of us is still missing #yogini #yogastudent #yogacommunity #abhyasa #vairagya #yogajourney #sadhana #practicemakesprogress #innergrowth #communitylove #gratitude #yogagroningen #ashtangayogagroningen #ashtangayoga #sadnessandjoy #grunn
Then don’t wait for the perfect moment to arise Then don’t wait for the perfect moment to arise and just come and join us any weekday morning ✨ Truth is, things will always come up or you may have hesitations because you may (wrongly) believe you have to be flexible or strong to start with us. Or that you have to know “the sequence”. Or that you have to be super disciplined. The best way to start is to just show up as you are. You don’t need to prepare. You don’t need to get ready. So drop all your excuses before another 3 months pass and nothing changes in your life for the better. We look forward to welcoming you to practice and our community! Read about how you can get started ➡️ through the link in bio (first link in the list). Reach out thru a comment or a pm with any question you may have and I make sure to personally connect. Every body can practice Ashtanga Mysore Yoga and benefit from this amazing way of practicing yoga. Will I see you soon? ✨ P.S. From October 1 we are back open every weekday morning from 6.50am onwards 🌅 #atha ✨ #ashtangayoga #yogagroningen #yoganoord #ashtangayogagroningen #mysoreyogagroningen #050 #adeninademuit #grunn #groningencity #groningenlife
✨ Exciting News! ✨ Starting 1st October, you ✨ Exciting News! ✨ Starting 1st October, you can now join us for  Ashtanga Mysore Yoga practice from 7 AM onwards on ALL weekdays! 🌅 Whether you’re an early riser or prefer to ease into your morning, we’ve got you covered with our new expanded schedule. Here’s how it looks: ✨ Monday, Wednesday & Friday (7-9 AM) Join me (Maxi( for Ashtanga Mysore Yoga on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7-9 AM. Fridays kick off with led foundational poses from 7-7:30 AM, followed by Mysore style at 7:30 AM—feel free to join after 7:30 if that suits you better! 🙏 ✨ Tuesday & Thursday (7-10:30 AM) Tuesday: First the wonderful @thian_lim will guide Ashtanga Mysore Yoga from 7-9 AM, with me taking over from 9 AM onwards.   Thursday: First enjoy a supportive space for self-practice from 7-9 AM, followed by Ashtanga Mysore Yoga with me from 9 AM onwards. ⏰ We open every weekday morning at 6:50 AM. I’ve thoughtfully added these extra practice times to provide you more flexibility, consistency and support.  I’m also very exciting and happy to welcome Thian as a regular teacher on Tuesday mornings from 7-9AM. More about his amazing energy and presence to come soon! ✨ This expanded schedule offers plenty of space to fit your needs—whether you’re just beginning or deepening your practice. 🧘‍♀️ As you know, balancing supporting our community at the shala and my family is very important to me. That’s why I cut out the very early practice times on Tuesday and Thursday about a year ago - it was too much for me not seeing my son on all weekday mornings.  Now while I’m present early 3 mornings at the shala —I’ve kept Tuesday and Thursday mornings to share time with my fam. It’s a special part of my week to connect with my son before heading to the shala to support you. 💕 I’m thrilled to being able to offer you more practice times, with the added support of Thian and Peter (who opens on Thursday for self-practice) - without our amazing community this change would not be possible. We can’t wait to see you on the mat and share these special mornings! With warmth and excitement,   Maxi & the Bhumi Yoga Team 🌿 #yogagroningen
