Your body holds memories✨ For years, we’ve kn Your body holds memories✨ For years, we’ve known that the brain stores memories, but recent research from NYU (Kukushkin, N.V. et al, Nature Communications (2024)) reveals something even more profound: non-brain cells, like those in your kidneys or nerves, can recognize patterns in chemical signals and activate a “memory gene.” Memory, as even science is hinting now, isn’t just a brain function—it’s a property of the entire body. This beautifully aligns with what many in the somatic field have worked with for ages (the concept of “your issues are in your tissues” and what Bessel van der Kolk explored as “The body keeps the score”). Trauma, stress, grief, and even joy are stored not just in your mind but in your muscles, fascia, organs, nerves, and tissues. Body-based memories can influence how we feel, hold our body and move (which has a big impact on the decisions we make in life). Herein, pain is not always just “something” we can effectively “work” away with physiotherapy, and “unbeneficial” behavioural patterns with cognitive behavioural therapy. In my experience, this is often connected to undigested memories creating undigestible input to the nervous system. Somatic practices help us gently access this stored wisdom, release old patterns, and create space for healing and growth. As many of you know, somatic work has been a heartfelt passion of mine for over 15 years. This journey has taught me so much about the interconnection of body, mind and spirit and how we can gently release what no longer serves us. Next spring, I’m taking my next step in this journey by beginning the 3-year Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Training founded by Peter Levine. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to deepen my understanding and can’t wait to bring even more transformative tools and insights to our community. Have you ever felt like your body is holding onto something that PT exercises couldn’t fix? I’d love to hear about your experience. 💛 #healing #nervoussystemregulation #yogagroningen #ashtangayogagroningen #youarealwayshome #stressrelief #wellbeingjourney #momlife #somaticexperiencing #thebodykeepsthescore
🫶Thank you all for joining our monthly led Prim 🫶Thank you all for joining our monthly led Primary Series & yoga talk. Always special to come together for our led class and talk ✨ And it was wonderful to see some of you return to practice who had been sick for some time (and take care of your needs during practice)💛 Some of you had to leave earlier, around 8am - which is always fine. I’m just happy you could still join before heading into the rest of the day. During today’s talk I read the chapter of Nathaniel Braden in the #handbookforrhesoul as it really speaks towards that we need both skillful action and stillness, that we have self responsibility, it spoke about contentment and encourages us to find the extraordinary in the very ordinary. I always found this chapter very moving and happy it resonated with you all and sparked reflection 🙏🏽 (see the book cover at the end of this reel). Our next monthly led primary is coming up 20/12 🔥🙏🏽🫶 What are you up to the rest of your week? ⬇️ I’ll be getting ready for some Sinterklaas celebrations of my son, and I’m happy my brother and my sister in law are visiting ☺️ Enjoy the rest of your week everyone 💛 #ledprimary #savasana #yogagroningen #ashtangafamily #ashtangayogagroningen #ashtangagroningen #mysoregroningen #community #bhumiyoga #groningen

📢 Our monthly Led Primary is coming up on Frida 📢 Our monthly Led Primary is coming up on Friday All practitioners of Ashtanga Mysore are welcome to join, regardless of how far you are in your practice. In this led class you practice until where you usually practice in your Mysore practice and then perhaps try a few of the next poses and/or observe before we get to backbends together. So much (!!) is learned by observing, really! And as always: It’s not the goal to get anywhere and no-one is a better or worse yogi because they are / not doing full series - whether you practice full primary already just really doesn’t matter. Just join with an open attitude. The class is a great benefit to understand the energy of and harvest focus in the transitions between the state of an asana - this is often where we loose focus. How we get in and out of a situation is very important for the situation and what develops from there. Moreover, I will give technical and verbal cues while all are moving together building up a strong, focused energy. After class, you can stay for a little bit of chanting & a yoga talk, inspiring and relevant for your practice. Friday, 29 November 👉🏼Led class: 7.00-8.30h 👉🏼Talk: 8.30-9.00h If you need to leave prior to 8.30h, you are welcome to join as well, just let me know prior to class that you have to leave earlier.... ✅ You can join in person at the shala or online. ➡ Sign up through the Booking System link in bio (go to “Book a class” link 😉) #ashtangayoga #ashtangaledclass #ledprimary #yogagroningen #ashtangayogagroningen #yoganoord  #ekam #yogacommunity #ashtangaprimaryseries #suryanamaskar #groningen #grunn #groningenstad #mysoreyogagroningen #youarealwayshome

Today was Sharathji’s funeral. There is a lot u Today was Sharathji’s funeral. There is a lot unfolding in me since his passing was announced a week ago. And I can’t really put it into words. I’m grateful I met him and could experience his teachings, his joy, steadiness, dedication and love for yoga. It left a deep impression on me. And now that he left his physical body…💔 That he shared all he could in this lifetime, and with so much love… Let’s keep practicing and let’s be there for each other We need community ❤️ #sharathjois #ashtangayoga #gratitude
This morning, we gathered for a special full moon This morning, we gathered for a special full moon session, filled with guided pranayama, kriya, chanting and also coming together to honor Sharath and his profound contributions to the global Ashtanga community and the study of yoga. Let’s be real: without Ashtanga Yoga, many of us wouldn’t know each other, countless friendships wouldn’t have blossomed. 💫 The power of community is strong, and we’re so grateful for the tool of practice that has transformed our lives in so many ways. This morning, we took a moment to reflect on this and shared about Sharath’s contributions to our yoga tradition. Even though many of you in our shala have never practiced directly under Sharath’s guidance, his teachings have touched us all. It’s a true gift to have this tool of practice as it allows us to draw our awareness inwards, to shift our focus away from all the things our senses want to attach and create moments of just being with our breath and body. I, like many of you, am immensely grateful for this tool - and also for my teachers who shared with me, like Sharath. As I shared this morning, one of the key messages I took from Sharath’s conferences is the importance of integrating practice into our lives in a way that is agreeable to your individual circumstances. Yoga isn’t about fancy shapes, it’s about becoming a better person. Thank you to everyone who joined this morning, both in person and from afar. It was truly special to share this time together. Wishing you all a peaceful end to the week. 🪔🙏🏽❤️✨ #ashtangayoga #ashtangacommunity #sharathjois #yogagroningen #ashtangayogagroningen
