Finished another yoga teacher training, this time on how to help people transform habits using yoga tools

Hot take: it takes way longer than 30 days to create a new habit / rewire your brain to change an old habit.

International Yoga Day

Per continuare il viaggio iniziato lo scorso anno con il nostro approfondimento dedicato alla

Giornata Internazionale dello Yoga

https://perfettamentechic.com/2025/06/21/giornata-internazionale-dello-yoga/

oggi … 21 giugno 2026, torna una delle ricorrenze più amate da chi cerca benessere, equilibrio e un pizzico di serenità nella frenesia quotidiana.

La Giornata Internazionale dello Yoga, istituita dalle Nazioni Unite nel 2014 e celebrata ogni anno nel giorno del solstizio d’estate, invita milioni di persone in tutto il mondo a stendere il tappetino e dedicare qualche minuto a corpo e mente. Anche nel 2026 il tema ufficiale è

Yoga for Healthy Ageing (“Yoga per un invecchiamento in salute”)

invito a riscoprire lo yoga come prezioso alleato per mantenersi attivi, flessibili e in forma a ogni età.

Dall’alba nei parchi cittadini alle lezioni gratuite sulle spiagge, passando per piazze, centri sportivi e iniziative online, anche in Italia non mancano eventi aperti a tutti: principianti, esperti e perfino chi pensa di essere “troppo rigido” per toccarsi le punte dei piedi! Del resto, lo yoga non è una gara di elasticità, ma un percorso personale fatto di respirazione, concentrazione e piccoli grandi progressi.

Se nel 2025 vi avevamo raccontato la storia e il significato di questa ricorrenza, nel 2026 il messaggio è ancora più attuale:

dedicare anche solo dieci minuti al giorno allo yoga può contribuire a ridurre lo stress, migliorare l’equilibrio e favorire il benessere psicofisico.

Perché, in fondo, il miglior esercizio è quello che ci fa stare bene… con un sorriso e senza fretta. Namasté! 🧘‍♀️🌿

Buona Giornata Internazionale dello Yoga!

Again a fucked up day at work, deadline coming up on Thursday and seeing that my engineers cannot for the life of them write a fucking coherent text in English, not even using LLMs, and they do not know how to use word or excel either.

So I was pretty wound up right after work. Teaching yoga helped me calm down a bitt.

But I am travelling tomorrow, and that is not helping :(

Sigh

@wheeljack down-dog is a very active pose when doing it correctly, when all those little tweaks become automatic, it is a place where you can catch your breath easier during transitions.

As for resting poses, I offer child's pose and crocodile often. Or just between sun salutations while I take a sip of breath

The best yoga teacher I ever had told me to stop coming to her class.

Real practice doesn't need an audience, just honesty.

Have you ever had a teacher who gave you permission to find your own path?

My teacher said four words. It took me six months to understand them.

'You are holding your future.' Six months later, I finally understood.

Has a teaching ever arrived for you months or years after you first heard it?

Feeling like crap for *reasons*, that also caused me to sleep 5h last night, so brain is not functioning either.

I am so lucky I have yoga, both practicing & teaching, to help me get out of my mind.

Enjoy this week's short yoga practice :

You don't become someone who doesn't grasp. You become someone who notices the moment the hands curl.

That gap, between grasping and releasing, is where the sutra actually lives.

Where do you notice the moment your own hands curl?

Once more babysitting senior engineers at my "9 to 5" is draining me. They take absolutely no pride in their work & they assume I will work 16h/day to cover their asses.

Luckily my side gig of teaching yoga fills my cup and gives me more fulfilling in an hour than a week of paying bills work.

Go enjoy today's short practice jamming sun salutations: https://youtu.be/-TlgW4FebN4

I found Ketut, someone who didn't teach tourists.

His backyard practice overlooked rice paddies. He moved like water. "Yoga not special thing. Is how you live."

Who has taught you about practice in unexpected ways?

I was doing a yoga pose about non-grasping. My hands were in fists.

Aparigraha, Sutra II.39. The one I thought I understood.

When has your body known something your mind was still convincing itself it understood?

What do you do with a word whose full weight you're still learning to carry?

I call my teacher Guru Devendra. I do it carefully, the word means one who removes darkness.

Which yoga word are you still learning to carry?

Two ways how I plan my yoga classes.

For short format classes, I scribble names & times. For long format, I stick figure sketch the whole sequence.

Planning classes does not mean I follow it to the letter, chances are I improvise on the general idea depending on who's in class and how everyone is feeling.

"What are you afraid of?" my teacher asked when I told her I couldn't practice alone. My answer changed everything.

Seven weeks of failure. "I can't do this without you." Her question changed everything.

What are you afraid of in your practice?
