Layer after layer

March 25, 2017March 25, 2017

still life - l

I sometimes wonder: are we adding layers to build, or are we removing them to seek the center? Are we moving inwards out outwards? What lies behind and what lies beyond?

I woke up this morning at 5:45am to join the Mysore session with @ashtangaseradee and salute the day. It was so beautifully perfect! The darkness right before dawn, amazing people practicing next to me and a wonderful mentor. I am so grateful for my body and to be honest pleasantly surprised by all the movement it was able to perform during my first Mysore practice since two years and post hosting a tiny human! Feeling at home. Thank you @ashtangaseradee and @hayoka.yoga for creating this space ❤️ #thankfulthursday . . #yoga #mysore #ashtanga #dublinyoga #namaste #sketch #sketchoftheday #happy #goodmorning #thankful #drawing #instaart #asana #grateful

Find your breath and the rest will settle. Life is transitory, who you are today is different than who you were yesterday. We change throughout our life. Instead of living in the past, or looking always into the future, can you sit with yourself right now? You are not bound to your past. Where are you now? Who are you today? Put down your phone, slow down your breath, and observe. . . . #whoami #meditation #yoga #breathe #observe #namaste #yogaeverydamnday

Thanks all for your supportive words and messages from my last post ❤️ you warm my heart and it's beautiful to have you around. I wrote the person involved but we are each in different universes so I won't put any more energy into the matter. I let it go. I rarely give any Fox about what people do, and since Magali is born I am making sure to keep a drama-free air around her and us. PS. I love that sentence, it keeps me happy and I don't give a fly's fart! Hope you're having a good week! The beginning of the last month of this year. 😊 #positivevibes #goodvibesonly . . . #illustration #flyfart #sketchoftheday #supportartists

Respect the artists you know. Exactly two years ago, I sent out my first Yoga Train delivery for my kickstarter supporters. After months of drawing, assembling ideas and getting this product together I got it printed and now people all around the world use it. This weekend, I discovered, by chance, that an acquaintance, who used the @yoga.train with children at a sport center and found it super useful, produced very similar cards more children friendly. This person made new cards, inspired and based on mine, without consulting me, or asking if I would be interested in collaborating. She hired another illustrator, using my work as reference... I was dumbstruck. I earn my living from art and teaching yoga. It is important to me and I love what I do. I put my heart and soul into all the projects I work on. It is easy to copy artists for production, but when you do this you are hurting the artists. Please, if you have artist friends support them. Don't take their work for granted #supportartists #instaart #yogacards

Downward facing dog. Illustration based on the @yoga.train card (swipe left). Why is it so grand? My favorite things about this pose are increasing mobility and strength of the arms and shoulders, and with the heart over the head more blood flows into the brain which gives a regenerating feeling. How do you feel about Adho Mukha? . . . . #yoga #illustration #downdog #yogaeverydamnday #asana #hatha #feelgood #digitalart #dublin#yogatrain #adhomukhasvanasana #yogaart #yogagift #positivevibes

After three beautiful days by the sea with great company, let's flow into the week with some yoga! #feelinginspired Come practice with me Tuesday 6pm at @rathminescollective and Friday & Sunday noon at @ffsgyms 📷 by @bernadaou 😍 . . #yoga #calm #restorativeyoga #namaste #sea #beach #peace #sunset #friends #refresh #breathe #meditation #goodmorning #irishsea

Mindless. Feeding baby at night. Normally the tiny one is a good sleeper but last night she woke up many times. Maybe it was the storm? If only I could read her mind.. #mamalife #mindless #inktober . . #illustration #sketchdaily #instaart #inktober2019 #ink #sleepy #zombiemama #mam #sleepdeprived #breastfeeding #draw #sketch #sketchbook #fabercastell

Taking long walk has become one of my favorite activities since the tiny one is born. She loves looking up at the trees, and now she's in for a treat with the changing colors. 🍂 For me, I feel like one of the trees this fall because my hair is falling at the speed of the leaves! Since Magali turned 3months I'm losing my hair! Any tips moms? How long will this last?! . . #inktober #inktober2019 #hairfall #fall #momlife #mama #walk #sketch #sketchdaily #longwalk #autumn #illustration #baby #instaart #freshair

On June 13th, I gave birth to Magali 🌻. It felt so wild, long (16hours!) and out of this world! Luckily it all went naturally, thanks to the wonderful humans who were there to support me, and to years of practicing yoga and pranayama. 🔥🔥🔥 The illustration above sums up my life since one month: feeding, sleeping, eating and just being in awe of this new life that my husband and I created. #tinyhumanlove #laidbackbreastfeeding . . #love #breastfeeding #illustration #illustrationireland #mom #momandbaby #girl #bed #summer #chill #newlife #birth #baby #instaart #digitalart #yoga #momlife #newborn #blue #family #morning #sunday
