Today I will write about money again. Even if Aparigraha (non-greed) is not only about money.   Some say that money is the greatest evil of today's world, and I used to think so myself. There was a period in my life when I was seriously considering different ways to live a life without money,… Continue reading Money is not evil

I love to share the ride to and from Ljubljana, I always meet interesting and inspiring people! Today I was talking to this guy about dreams and goals and he said: my dream is to have time. I don't want to be a rich CEO, I don't want to kill myself with work, I just… Continue reading Be rich with time not money

I hurt a lot of people on my quest for truth, I thought honesty is above all, and didn't consider other people's… Continue reading How honest are you to yourself and others?

I had to let go of my daily asana practice as I'm injured and need to rest, so I decided to focus more on the other limbs of yoga, mainly on the Yamas and Niyamas, which are the often seen as ‘moral codes’, or ways of ‘right living’. They form the foundation of our whole… Continue reading Let’s talk about Ahimsa
