Tokyo oh Tokyo, I truly felt in love with you. You are not just a crazy wild city full of Pokemon’s and Hello kitty but you are also very very CLEAN and GREEN. And that with a population of about 14 million people and nearly no rubbish bins. How the heck does this work?? Easy! The people in Japan are just doing what is common sense and clean up the mess they make. This is how it`s supposed to be, right?!
Since one of the most frequently asked (yoga related) questions I get from people is
„What kind of mat do you use? „
I thought why not bringing up a short review on the mats I tried so far including my experience with it. Even as a yoga teacher and a 10 year long practitioner I don`t really have a lot of mats than most people expect. I think the first 5 years I was mainly practicing on the bare floor, gras, beaches, carpets, towels or on any cheap mat I could find in a store nearby.
I finally managed to find some time to write a brief review about our last trip to India. And when I think about it, this was actually the first country we have been to, where we haven`t seen anything.. AT ALL!!
Hey Peeps! Welcome to 2 0 1 7.
To kick off this year with the right amount of energy, a portion of good sleep is a must! Especially as a breastfeeding mum of a 4 month old where a lack of sleep is my daily companion, I know what I am talking about, believe me 😉
So to still keep going and doing all the fun stuff that mummies do like nursing, nappy changing, kissing, cooking, cuddling, doing laundry again nappy changing, nursing, playing, singing – here are some tips for a restful night as well a little good-night-yoga sequence which I like to do before or in bed.
Who doesn’t love hot chocolate?? But to make it a bit more christmassy here is a different more wintery and festive version of it. The result is nutty and not so sweet as a usual hot chocolate. It’s rich in flavor and crazy easy to make.
Ever wondered how to work out with a baby? Especially soon after birth where bonding is constantly needed? Then try out Baby Carrier Yoga. All you need is a Carrier and a Baby of course 🙂 I also tried it with a baby wrap which works too but since the head is still pretty wobbly at the beginning, it was a bit more challenging to keep it in the wrap while moving. Baby Carrier Yoga makes both happy – it`s a good workout for mamma (even more when the little ones are getting heavier) while your baby enjoys the movement close to you. Happy mamma, happy baby!
Hi guys! It`s this special time of the year where stores start decorating their shops and everything looks sparkly. There might be some of you, thinking it`s too early but for me, an old Christmas junky, it`s never too early for Christmas 🙂
Hey Yogis,
my little beanie allows me some time off today, so I thought about using this to share another quick DIY Tutorial with you. It`s an easy and in particular cheap way to create your own yoga mat cleanser while making your mat smell deliiiiicious at the same time!
As I am coming closer to my due date, the more questions I get what I am going to bring to the hospital. Good question. Maybe all the same stuff what others bring too. And to be honest I had no clue, when I started packing. So the first thing what I did was checking Pinterest what other mummies actually do bring and I think, I figured it out, at least for me. So I will let you have a closer look into my hospital bag(s) today which maybe clarify some of your questions too.
Pregnancy is a miraculous time in every woman’s life but adjusting to all the changes happening inside the body can sometimes also trigger certain discomfort. Each trimester brings something new to a mum-to-be, especially when it comes to her workout routine and an every growing belly.
Besides swimming, yoga is definitely the ideal workout throughout pregnancy. It will help you to stay active, deal with the extra weight and changing balance, gives you physical and mental strength, relieves back pain and prepares your body for a successful and natural delivery.
