Practicing Yoga in the Evening
A Daily routine Having a daily routine is something most of us can agree is a good thing to have, you wake up in the morning, brush your teeth and your day begins.

Needless to say that even if I had managed to achieve those goals they didn’t stick for long, I couldn’t make a habit out of it and that frustrated me. Sometimes I try to aim high, all those motivational speakers keep telling us to dream big or fail forward, but they also forget to tell us to look at the bright side. So what if I couldn’t practice…

Mysore Ashtanga Primary Series – My Experience
What is Mysore Ashtanga Primary Series Mysore is the name of an Indian city where Srii K. Pattabhi Jois taught the Ashtanga yoga tradition.

In Mysore Ashtanga Primary Series the instructor doesn’t have to take a break or two during the lesson to give their own emphasis on a specific yoga posture, because they…

Yoga and Me – My Personal Story About Why I Started To Practice Yoga
Body-Awareness When I was a teenager I used to compete in Triathlon, which is a sport combining swimming, biking and running one after the other. And I was pretty good at it too, I used to have a high ranking and I even won a few trophies. I remember my coach talking to me about the importance of stretching before and after practice, and how I should always be aware of my body and notice if my body is signaling me that something isn’t right. The story about yoga and me didn’t really start then, at a time when I was focused only on competing and winning, it actually started much…
