\nI’m meeting Madhavi on a gloomy Wednesday morning for coffee. Around 10 am, a radiant woman enters the place and embraces me in a hug. Madhavi is the kind of person that spreads her calming energy everywhere and it is a pleasure to talk to her. This might be because she has been already awake since 5 am and completed her daily meditation routine. Madhavi is a full time blogger at\u00a0Kaerlighed.de<\/a>, a Mom and a Yogini. During our talk she raves about her children, her way of life and the city of Berlin.

\nAge:<\/strong> 40
\nChildren:<\/strong> 2, Nilas, 10 years old; Nika, 8 years old
\nStatus:<\/strong> has been happily married for 12 years<\/p>\n

You just recently moved with your family to Berlin so your kids can go to a Danish school. How difficult was this decision to make? <\/strong>
\nOf course, there were also other factors that played into this decision. Berlin offers the best options for our entire family. My kids go to a Danish school and I also have completely settled down here with my job. Berlin is the city where everything happens so the decision to move here wasn’t a hard one to make. Of course, my children were one of the reasons to make the move, but I see myself as much more than just a mother. It is so important to realize one’s full potential during the short amount of time that we are allowed to walk this earth.<\/p>\n[row]\n[column size=”1\/2″]\n

How does a typical day in your life look like?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI wake up every morning around 4:30 am. I will then meditate for an hour and do my cleaning exercises. After that I immediately go to work since I am really a morning person and I work the most effective during this time of day. I wake my kids at 6:45. At this point I have already completed my morning routine. My husband also takes care of the kids in the morning if he’s home. He currently works a lot in Munich but we always try to share the workload at home. At 8 am my kids go to school and I can go back to work. Around noon I practice Yoga. Yoga and Meditation are both part of my everyday life. It is also the best way for me to find balance and get away from the computer. I also use it to center myself and see where I’m currently headed.<\/p>\n[row]\n[column size=”1\/2″]\n

How do your kids see yoga and meditation?<\/strong>
\nMy kids have always been surrounded by it. They have different relationship with their body and are very spiritual people. Of course, I don’t force them to do anything. My son starts his day with a sun prayer and a 10 minute meditation. He does it all by himself and has realized the benefits of doing it every single morning. My daughter enjoys singing mantras and also meditates a tiny bit but does everything in a very playful way. Naturally, they pick up everything and sometimes even tell me: ‘Mom, you look stressed. Why don’t you go and do some Yoga’.<\/p>\n

You not only come across very young but also look amazing. What’s your secret? <\/strong>
\nHaha, thank you so much! I think that Yoga and Meditation play a certain role here. I also recommend the Kundalini Meditation<\/a> to everyone. It just get’s rid of all the stress in your system. I go to bed early and don’t eat anything after 6 pm. I hardly drink any alcohol and follow a macrobiotic diet. And I never hold on to the past\u2026<\/p>\n[row]\n[column size=”1\/2″]\n

You have been following a plant-based diet for 20 years. How does your bathroom look like? Which products do you love? <\/strong>
\nOK, first of all I have say that I am not vegan. I don’t want to be put into certain boxes. I try to do the best I personally can, and have for 20 years now, but of course you will find some non-vegan products in my house, like a pair of leather shoes. I am simply not a dogmatic person. I just try to live consciously of my surrounding. The same applies to my bathroom. I really love ILIA’s Heart Beat<\/a> lip gloss and I use Tata Harper’s Volumizing Lip and Cheek Tint in the shade ‘Very Charming<\/a>‘. Oh, and every evening I use the Rosehip Oil<\/a> from Pai. It is such a wonderful product that has totally wowed me.<\/p>\n
