Healthy places to eat in #Uluwatu (better late than never 😜) ⠀#Bali is a magical place where you are not going to struggle in search for #healthy veggie meal 💚 These were my favorite when we stayed in Uluwatu: @drifterbali delicious food with good vegan options, don’t miss #vegan treats at the counter - cookies and ice blocks (choco peanut butter is ❤️) Really love the outside area with plenty of plants, the interior as well has some cool details with the shop and gallery inside. @bukit___cafe in addition to main menu there is always a list of specials with plenty of #veggie options. Also the best fresh chilled huge coconuts around! 🥥 @theloftbali a piece of Australia in Bali, very instagramable with a delicious healthy menu. Please share your fav healthy places in Bali if you have one 🌱

Attached to nothing, connected to everything ✵ ⠀ ⠀ The other day a friend asked me what did I bring from Bali, I though for a minute and realized I bought absolutely NOTHING during the entire trip. Shopping used to be an essential part of my every trip, sometimes I would spend more time shopping than sightseeing 🙈 I’m very content to notice this shift and to feel free from a desire to constantly buy new things. In fact, we all need so little. I can’t deny the fact that sometimes physical things can bring us joy and positive emotions. But for everyone who thinks that their life is not fulfilled without the latest iPhone model or a new Gucci bag I wish to find a different perspective on this. ⠀ #Detachment is not that you should own nothing, but that nothing should own you. — Ali ibn Abi Talib

#Ubud 🌿 ⠀ Lately I’ve been traveling a lot to the places I’ve already been before. Last time I’ve been to #Bali 9 years ago and the most memorable moment was when someone passing on the bike pulled a bag off my shoulders - money, camera and my phone was gone 😰. Not the best memories, not to mention numerous attempts of fraud when changing currency 🤬 ⠀ Ubud was a new place for me during this trip and I’m so glad I finally visited it, in my yoga bubble I definitely heard a lot about it. I feel like my preferences shifting towards inland places - Himalayas over Goa, Ubud over Uluwatu & Seminyak. ⠀ 💚💚💚 #Yoga - I only had a chance to practice in @yogabarn but it was enough to feel that I’m in some sort of yoga fairytale. Besides amazing teachers, great selection of classes and workshops, it is such a beautiful space, drowning in tropical nature, lots of #healthy food options and yogis from all over the world in one place. An unmatched concentration of my favorite things per square meter. ⠀ #Food - I don’t know if it’s official and I’m just too late to discover it but Ubud is a world capital of a #raw #vegan food in my opinion! Incredible selection of super delicious raw dishes and desserts. After going to @seedoflieve on the first day, we kept coming back & just couldn’t get enough of their creative raw meals. See more in my Bali stories. I’m really thinking of taking a #rawfood course now! I’m sure there are tons of other amazing food places but we just didn’t have enough time. I’m definitely coming back for more! (and it is also one of the very few places which can be considered as being “close” to #Australia 🤪)

When stretching our bodies, like with many processes in life, we need to find a balance between being determined, persistent and strong, and being patient, relaxed and soft. Don’t forget to breath ~

~ Life is not about who you once were. It’s about who you are now, and who you have the potential to be ~ ⠀ This is my mantra for the last few years. Work, relationships, habits, the way we do and see things - we all have the power to create our life, to choose our path and to transform as many times as necessary. It’s not always painless but it always worth is if you have good intentions and stay true to yourself 🌟

“Some days are for falling in love with people, some days for cities, and some for your time in solitude.” — @AkifKichloo

In attempts to decide what we want to do next, the other day my bf said we should each write down top 3 places where we would like to live, randomly chose one and go there. I definitely love his adventurous side... but then you stop and look around and realize you are already living in a dream place. #Sydney is definitely in my top 3! I remember seeing it on TV, the New Years fireworks with Opera House at the background, and it was pretty much my only knowledge about Sydney. I imagined it is like Singapore or Hong Kong, very busy and full of skyscrapers. It is so far from the reality - despite being one of the biggest cities in Australia, it feels so cosy and I call it “resorty” thanks to the amazing beaches. Nothing can beat the ocean really ♡ ⠀ What are your top 3 places where you would love to live? ⠀📷 tb to balcony breakfasts with @ekaterinagt ⠀

Are we born to be afraid? ⠀It took me a few minutes before I was finally ready to jump into the water as I had a few concerns - is it too cold, is it too shallow, are there any sharks in there ? 🦈 ⠀ ⠀ While some fears are built in and develop when our brain mature, and can actually protect us, others are learnt and created in our mind, very often they are not real and stop us from trying something new, making change or just don’t let’s us be ourselves and to live the life we deserve. A recent example of me being absolutely convinced that I can’t drive a car in Australia as I was afraid and so confused with driving on the other side of the road will be always a great reminder for me of how not to create limitations in my own head. I’m happily driving now 🚙 ⠀ “If everybody feels fear when approaching something totally new in life—yet so many are out there doing it despite the fear—then we must conclude that fear is not the problem. The real issue is not the fear, but how we hold the fear.” Susan Jeffers ⠀ P.S. When I finally jumped the water was absolutely blissful, so I wish for everyone to always have a courage to face their fears and not to let them stop you if you want to jump 🤗 ⠀ Please share your stories of overcoming fears if you have one 🙏

If we are what we eat, I wouldn’t mind to be this avocado toast 💚 ⠀ Even more delicious if you go for a swim before your lunch :) ⠀#theboathousepalmbeach ⠀ ⠀ Would be happy to hear any recommendations on cute places in Sydney with healthy options 💜

Attention, this is not a yoga pose, this is what happens when you run out of ideas what to post on insta 🙈

After 2 hours ashtanga class and a few km run all I can do today is child’s pose ☺️with Kali Midra for Day 8 of #ExploreYourMudras ✨
