Willy Pasini ~ Self-Esteem (L’Autostima)
In August, during the Yoga education Yoga Makes a Difference, the teacher mentioned “In the West people have a low self-esteem". A few weeks later, during my break in Italy, I have found the book “Self-esteem” written by a well-known Italian psychologist, Willy Pasini.
I couldn't wait to have a closer look into this delicate topic. I wanted to understand how self-esteem influences people’s lives. How confidence in ourselves and in our skills influence our happiness? How can lack of self-esteem damage our relationships?
It is very interesting to become more aware of the influence on our self-esteem. Particularly interesting is the influence of parents over their children. In fact, the book dedicates a large session to the relationship between parents and children.
This book is advisable if you wish to know better what self-esteem is and how it develops. It contains guidance on how to grow and improve self-esteem.
Enjoy!

Running at full moon is special. An additional nice memory of the Dam Run by night .
Even more magic were the energy and encouragements of the crowd. Children loved to support us and helped us to keep going. It's about individuals running together that become a whole.
Thanks this energy I did even better than I had expected: 0:45:37 ~ 8 KM/5 EM ;)
A huge Thank You to everyone ^_^ ^_^

Camel Pose ~ Ustrasana
Backbends Asana Series

The Camel Pose is one of my favourite Yoga Asanas, one of the best poses to open up the heart and strengthen the spirit for new experiences in life.
I appreciate this pose as it requires a large amount of concentration and a sense of proportion of the body. By practicing the camel pose we are forced to use our inner eyes and to go over fear when leaning backward.
Ustrasana is also a fantastic pose to correct the posture. It helps improving round shoulders or a curvy back.
Through the practice keep on tuning mind & spirit :)
Enjoy your Yoga practice step by step ~

Taking a fantastic break into nature ~ Back to the roots
This has been a fantastic trekking day on the Italian Alps.
Beautiful views, landscapes, mountains and fresh air to breath.  Mountains are the place where I grew up. Once in while it is healthy to go back and recharge ourselves with pure energy.
Enjoy Nature ~ Appreciate Nature ~ Respect Nature
