0 Comments

I don’t like BANANAS & probably why i am not into Smoothie Bowls.
As an Ayurvedic practitioner, I dont eat/drink ice cold foods or blend them however boundaries are meant to be stretched.
I LOVE cornflakes - I grew up eating them - I will eat them morning, noon and night ... anytime & all the time.
I make them in cookies, pie crumbles and in hot drinks ... I KNOW.
So I thought lets make a bowl of Crown Chakra inspired breakfast so I can make better choices.

1 Banana
1.5 dl Blueberries
1dl Vegan Mylk
Blend until smooth
..
1dl Cornflakes
2 tbsp Walnut crumbles (walnuts & date)
1 tbsp Greek/Vegan Yoghurt
..
TO SERVE?
Pour it all in & make it PRETTY AF

Welcome to Sunday Yoga Nidra

The Moon.
Picture
In yogic tradition the moon is associated with feminine energy with qualities of coolness, calmness, stillness and receptiveness. 
This energy is something that we all have inside of us (no matter if you are man or woman). 
To live a balanced life we need to allow this part of us to take equally enough space as its opposit; the active sun that constantly keeps us moving and allert. 
Without the slowing down we won’t be able to ground down and see and appriciate the beauty of life in front of us. We will be striving forward without the ability to appriciate the now or knowing where we are heading.
Come along and salute the moon inside and outside of you with me on this weeks Sunday Yin Nidra - it will be a real treat for your body, mind and soul!

APRIL'S POSTURE OF THE MONTH:                   Adho Mukha Svanasana

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Adho Mukha Svanasana 
DOWNWARD FACING DOG
Adho=downward 
Mukha = face
Svana = dog
Picture
Downward Facing Dog is a wonderful posture that is so much more than a transition pose and a nice hamstring stretch. 

Downward Facing Dog BENEFITS: 

Elongates and releases tension from your spine.
Opens the hips and shoulders…yup, yoga is pretty much obsessed with those hips and shoulders :-) 
Stretches hamstrings, calves, ankles, wrists and hands.
Strengthens arms, shoulders, wrists, ankles and abdominals. Be sure to pull that bellybutton into your spine to get that pelvic floor engagement…yes, the pelvic floor is another one of yoga’s obsessions ;-)
Improves digestion. 
Relieves, back pain, headaches, helps to reduce insomnia and fatigue.
Helps to relieve stress by calming the nervous system when used as a mild inversion.

Tip 1: If you have tight hamstrings you may experience a "pull" of the hamstrings when in down dog that tilts the pelvis backwards or down towards the hamstrings (retroversion). This pulls the back muscles causing the 

lower back to lose some of its natural arch.

How do you adapt to these tight hamstrings? 

Put a micro-bend in the knees to release the hamstrings and free the lower back. 

Contract your Quads!

This contraction will help to tilt the pelvis forward or up towards the mid-back (anteversion) and will 

help to provide a natural arch - this helps to draw the trunk towards the thighs.

The more you work with your downward facing dog the more starts to feel like a resting and recovery posture. 

It’s MAGIC!

March Posture of the Month: Parivrtta Uttkatasana

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Posture of the month: Parivrtta Uttkatasana
Partvrtta = Revolved - Utka = Powerful - Asana = Pose
Revolved Powerful Pose or Revolved Chair Pose or Prayer Twist.
Picture


I like this pose because it helps me to feel grounded - hips and legs are stable and strong, feet are grounded into the mat - distributing my weight and helping me to find that lovely sense of balance where I can shift my weight back and stack the knees over the ankles. 

Tip 1: Work to keep your knees in alignment with each other by sucking the thighs into their hip sockets.

All of this grounding, strength and stability in the hips, legs and feet allows for lightness in the spine and openess in the chest. The lightness in the spine allows for the body to twist. When you twist, look to your abdominal muscles to engage and rotate your torso along the lengthened spine.

Tip 2: Don’t rely the strength of your shoulders and elbows to force you body to twist. You need lightness in the spine to allow your abdominal muscles to engage, rotate and follow the twist of the spine. If you force the twist, relying on the large muscles in your back, chest and shoulders you force your spine to twist beyond its natural ability. If you force the twist you can’t lift the chest. If you can’t lift the chest the body falls forward - the weight comes to the toes, the heels loose their grounding and you miss out on that lovely sense of stability, balance and lightness.

Be brave, practice the modified version, work with the feeling of sending your weight back to your heels. Release the sacrum so the sit bones can head down to the floor. Resist the booty pop! Find the strength in your core to twist and lift. Allow the core to revolve with the spine - work with the limits of your spine today - maybe tomorrow your spine will feel different. Enjoy the sensation of opening your chest in the revolved position, gaze up and over your shoulder. Breath.

I am still processing my experience in Macedonia.
What a beautiful country & people.
Native Macedonians are very friendly & helpful, they all give the best hugs.
We have a very intense 48hours, we landed in Skopje & travelled to Bitola which takes around 3 hours.
Stayed over at Silvia's aunty's house where her cousin & Baba (Grand Ma) lives.
They took me in like I am one of theirs.
I felt so welcome.
The next day we drove to Ohrid - 1 hour drive.
Ohrid is somethine else.
Beautiful.
It's the biggest lake in Europe & it's wild.
I came to Macedonia for 2 reasons.

#1 OHRID
#2 HERBS

We found both.
And the beginning journey of Walking in Macedonia begins here.

Roses are known through out ancient time for its potency.
Rosebuds and petals fresh or dried helps menstrual cramps & lighten the bleeding.
Roses were also used to reduce inflammation in various parts of the body and to ease coughing. There is also evidence that oil extracted from roses was used as a mild laxative and to treat emotional symptoms like depression, grief and anxiety.


Roses are not just pretty, they are tough too.

I am very passionate about yoga and the kind of practice that we offer here at the studio.

We cannot care for others when we don't know ourself worth.
