When cats are bored they sleep.
When we are bored we find a way to fill our boredom.

We can learn so much from pets, personally I am still working on it. What about you?

BTW here is so hot, I can't wait to be winter again ♨️

Keep swiping to see Mr Sweetface

Happy Sunday ❤️

Start simple

When we were Kids, first we learned to balance standing, then to walk, then, eventually, after lots of falls and failures we learned to run, dance, swim etc…

Start simple

Here three different ways to puppy pose to build up a strong chin and chest stand

How to fold properly

First thing first, forget your egoistic goals to touch the toes or reach the legs with the forehead.

Forcing the body to a shape isn't ready yet might cause injuries and frustration which we don't want.

We want a happy and healthy yoga practice.

Here a guide of don'ts and dos during a forward fold.

➡️ Don'ts:

Domed distressed spine
Crunched neck
Belly out
Body weight on the heels
Armpits showing
Ears to shoulders
Hips pulling backwards

➡️ Dos

Long straight spine
Relaxed neck
Belly in
Body weight shifted forward
Ears far from the shoulders
Hips pulling upwards

➡️ Instead do:

Keep the knees bent
Long spine and neck
Belly in
Ribcage glued to the thighs
Weight evenly distributed on the feet
Hips over heels
Broad shoulders

I always say to myself "if I can do it, I don't need to pay somebody else to get things done"

Admirable and stupid at the same time.

Today, after I and hubby spent 10 hours trying to assemble and install a wall bed on Sunday, I wish I was less cheap 😅

Let's make the economy flow, follow my advice "hire somebody else to do what you can do and enjoy your free time."

Do you play the hero or pay for help?

Imagination is uniquely Human.

We are neither the nicest nor the nastiest of the species, but we are the most creative.

Without imagination there is no hope.
Be playful with whatever you do.

Still trying to figure out how to drop the hips and curl the spine with straight legs but I love this sort of alien shape with straight legs.

Which one do you like the most?

Today’s tutorial focuses on Bakasana, the father

Today’s tutorial focuses on Bakasana, the father of all arm balances.

When I first started practising arm balances, I was terrified and terribly weak.

However, as always, practice makes things happen.

Many told me you that the key of arm balances are strong core. That is true, but only if you already have strong hands and wrists.
The key to arm balances are STRONG HANDS AND WRISTS.

The first time I tried Bakasana I face and belly planted on the floor, my wrists weren’t strong enough to hold me.

Here, I am showing how to gently strengthen your wrists:

1 Start from a Crow pose (Kakasana) shape with one foot on the floor and the other one lifted. Repeat both sides. Breath x 5 Times each side

2 Place 2 Yoga blocks underneath your shoulders and evenly distribute your body weight between the blocks and your hands

3 Place 1 Yoga block underneath your forehead and evenly distribute your body weight between the blocks and your hands

4 Try this one only when you are strong enough. Place 2 Yoga Blocks behind you and place on top of your feet. Lift them one at a time.

Practice Malasana every day for the flexibility necessary to place your knees inside your armpits.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you feel pains of any sort at your wrists back off, and try tomorrow. You should never push your wrists

Remodeling… hopefully only two more weekends.

Remodeling the house is very similar to life.

All starts with a simple decision: it's time to change.

How exciting!

You can't wait to see the results.

Then the doubts:
I will have strangers in my nest
Things will be taken apart
Things will be thrown away
Things will be replaced
What if?

Suddenly, what you didn't like and served you anymore becomes familiar and comfortable.

The novelty is unknown.

However, you keep going on with your project and you realise that you were worried about nothing.

The new reality is much better than the old one.

Keep moving.

Change, if needed, is exhausting but good
