Το πρόωρο τέλος που έβαλε στην καριέρα της στον χορό ένας τραυματισμός έμελλε να την κάνει τη σταρ της γιόγκα! Η Michelle Lou Lan αποδεικνύει περίτρανα πόσο σέξι μπορεί να γίνει η σωματική και πνευματική άσκηση.
Ξεκίνησε τη γιόγκα μόλις το 2006 και κατάφερε να συνδυάσει την παλιά και την καινούρια της αγάπη, δημιουργώντας ένα νέο στυλ προπόνησης.
Ενθουσιασμένοι δηλώνουν εκείνοι που έχουν παρακολουθήσει τα μαθήματά της αλλά και όσοι την ακολουθούν στο Instagram, θαυμάζοντας το τέλειο κορμί της.

“First” I can’t describe how happy I felt to give my first yoga class in my first yoga studio, on my favorite Island in the entire world. I can’t put into words how it felt to see my girlfriends from New York walk in to the class, at the last minute, wearing our “Feather Collection” Yoga Pants. It was hard not to giggle and keep a straight face while I taught, and I go back to when we first met at one of my rooftop classes in NYC. At that moment I could have never imagined that we would get this far, and that everything would come together, full circle, for my first yoga class on Maui. I can’t wait until 1⃣ Monday, when I start teaching “MondayMesh”, bringing everything I started in NYC to Maui, and 2⃣ Tuesdays when I get to teach “MeshStem”, 3⃣ Wednesdays when I can focus on “MeshCurve”, or “MeshCore” on 4⃣ Thursdays. I can’t wait to bring it all together on 5⃣ Friday and 6⃣ Saturday with “WeMesh”. There’s so much to look forward to, and even though it was my first time teaching yoga in my own studio, It felt so natural, like I was exactly where I should have been all along. It felt like home. : @Colione is from MeshYoga @keepmeshing #MeshYoga #MichelleLouLan #MauisGirl #KeepMeshing
“Passion” Sometimes I think we’re too quick to answer. If you love something, think deeper and ask “What do I love most about it?” The answer can surprise you. Some people might say, “I like to dance.” Others may say, “I love to surf.” But I think there’s more to it than that. Maybe it’s not dancing, but moving, using the naked language of your body to express the things you can’t quite put in to words. Perhaps it’s not surfing, but being close to the ocean, to feel the water wash over you and pass your hand along the waves as you cruise smoothly through them, but have you realized that there’s so much more you can create with the motions of the water? Maybe you love to write, but what if it’s just an outlet for your passion? It could be that you really love the experiences, traveling to uncharted corners of the world and living the stories you sit down to write later, to read and to learn more about the world around you because you love knowledge. Think deeper and discover that what you’ve made your ambition might not really be what you love, just the outlet you found to express it, and when you finally realize it, you can move on to find what it is that drives you, the thing that truly moves you in it’s rawest form.

“Yours” The move to Maui is getting closer, day by day, and as the count down nears it’s end, my apartment gets emptier and decorations are replaced by boxes full of everything I’m taking with me. It’s a strange feeling. I know I won’t be traveling for a vacation, there’s an entire business to take care of, and I won’t be leaving for just a month until I’m on my way back to NYC. This time, I’m really moving to Maui. Recently I’ve been paying more attention to NYC, maybe because the weather gets better and better each day. Right now, It’s my favorite. Every winter I’m ready to leave, I think, “I’m so done with this cold, I’m leaving for good.” but then spring comes and I love it again. NYC has always been an amazing place, but whenever I go back to Maui, everything feels so natural, It feels like I’ve come home. A friend who works in real estate told me that people are always so happy and ready to sign the contracts, but as soon as they do their face changes. You can see it in their expressions; the doubts. Last night, I stood looking around my apartment thinking, am I making the right choice? I asked myself, If right now, I got a call from Hawaii telling me that it’s all over, there’s no need for me to move, and I should just stay in NYC, what i would I do? At that moment, I felt Maui’s warmth, like it stood behind me, hugging me, erasing the cold and all the doubts, and I felt happy and safe again in that embrace. I smiled because I realized: these feelings are normal. Anytime something comes to an end and something new begins you can’t help but think of what you leave behind. I knew exactly what I would say, “No, I want to go!” This calling comes from deep inside me, it’s my voice that speaks to me and leads me to where I truly want to be. See you soon Maui..
“Attention” You can be with the same person or live in the same place for years, and you might feel that it becomes a routine, but if you look closely, you’ll notice the differences. One day I asked a friend, “How’s your love life?” and he shrugged and told me, “It’s the same.” A few months later he was divorced, and I think it’s because he didn’t pay attention.There’s always something new to find, like a secret yet to be discovered, if you really stop to appreciate what you have. Maui’s beauty always amazes me, and on my drive to work each morning, as I cruise down the road, there’s a beautiful view of the ocean stretching as far as the eye can see, shimmering as the sun comes up, and it has never been the same sunrise, or the same sunset, when I drive back home.The mountains stand impressively in the background, surrounded by soft cotton clouds which circle the island like they’re connected to the land and If it’s your first time on that road, you’re tempted to stop and say, “Wow, this is paradise.” But to someone who has driven back and forth through the same place, seeing it every day, the view is just normal. But the feelings and the way you receive them change, the way the sun shines on everything below it is different, and the people you spend you’re time with, appreciating all of it, they change as well, and you’ll notice all of this, if you pay enough attention.

“Waiting…” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ There’s a saying that goes, “The most exciting time is not when you’re on vacation, but the time before you go.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I’m so excited. These past few months have been about working hard and waiting, and finally all that hard work has begun to blossom. The pants we put so much effort into drawing, designing, perfecting, and manufacturing are finally ready. The MeshYoga studio is close to being finished. We’re crossing out everything we’ve been waiting for, one by one. It feels amazing, and it’s all because of the process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Before, my excitement over any accomplishment would quickly disappear, because the effort wasn’t the same. It’s like waiting for your loved ones, your family or someone special, to arrive after a long time away, the longer the wait the sweeter the taste of the embrace, the stronger the hug when you go to pick them up. It’s like waiting until you’re hungry to eat, or until your throat is dry as the desert to drink a glass of water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ The going might be tough, but what you get out of it is worth every second you waited. I’ve learned to appreciate the time things take, to admire the process and taste the wait; it’s actually pretty amazing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #MeshYoga #MichelleLouLan #MauisGirl #KeepMeshing

“Walk Away” It takes a lot of effort to stay when things get tough, but it takes even more to let go when you’re scared to lose the people you “know”, when it’s time to make a change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I think losing people close to us is the hardest, like having to part with a friend. But there are people who will try to make you feel like less, and if you believe them they’ll win. They’ll smile to your face and then insult you when you turn around. They’ll take your insecurities, bring you down and then blame it on you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ When I broke with my “best friend” a few years ago, I remember being with another friend at that moment. He looked at me and said “I’m sorry you lost your best friend, are you going to be alright?” and I answered in a shaky voice, “yeah, because a real friend would never do what she did.” I’ve grown so much since then. I look back and it’s strange how I still miss her sometimes. When I look at my friends now and I see my old friends in their reflections I get nostalgic at how we used to laugh together, and scared. But the friends I’ve been lucky to make since then are nothing like the ones I used to have, they make me feel like the sky isn’t the limit, just the beginning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ When something feels wrong, it usually is. No matter the relationship, love or friendship, sometimes you just have to be strong and walk away. You can’t let your weakness get the better of you. Things run their course, I remember the good moments and smile. I don’t regret them, they mattered and I’m glad for every laugh we ever shared, I’m just glad I was able to walk away when the time came, because it led me to where I am now and to the people I know, and that’s the greatest blessing. #MeshYoga #MichelleLouLan #MauisGirl #KeepMeshing : @frankiebees
