Ist der nach-unten-schauende-Hund wirklich mein Freund?
Wie oft hatte ich mir diese Frage gestellt! … und das als gut ausgebildete Yogalehrerin, was fast schon peinlich ist 🤦🏼‍♀‍
Ich kann dich allerdings beruhigen. Die Antwort lautet wie so oft: „es kommt darauf an“. Richtig ausgeführt ist unser lieber, treuer, “olle Hund”, der ja trotzdem nie langweilig wird, eine fantastische Stellung🙏
☝️ Trotzdem wird er meiner Meinung nach in "normalen" Yogaklassen oft überbetont, was zu Problemen führen kann.☝️
Ich zum Beispiel neige zu einer Tendonitis (Entzündungen der Sehnen), die sich bei sehr repetitiven Bewegungsabläufen wie dem Sonnengruß vor allem in meinen Schultern manifestiert (in meinem Fall also ZUVIEL Hund und Chaturanga…).
DENNOCH WOLLTE ICH ICH MICH DAVON NICHT VON EINER REGELMÄSSIGEN YOGAPRAXIS ABHALTEN LASSEN! 🤓
Natürlich weißt du, dass Yoga nicht nur ein Sonnengruß nach dem anderen ist, sondern, dass es 100erte Übungen ohne Hände gibt. Und du weißt, dass Meditation und Atemtechniken AUCH Yoga sind. Aber musst du deshalb nun eine komplette Yogalehrerausbildung machen?
Ähm… „nicht unbedingt“… (obwohl ich mich über jeden einzelnen freue, der dies tut!)
So kompliziert, langwierig und kostspielig (ja, das ist es leider immer noch, wenn man eine gute Ausbildung will) braucht es nicht zu sein.
Genau deshalb habe ich für dich den kostenfreien Video-Minikurs HANDS-FREE-YOGA erstellt. 👉 👉 Klicke den Link in den Kommentaren unten!

In drei Videos zeige Dir:
✅ WELCHE energetisierenden, einfachen Übungen du mit minimaler Belastung von Armen, Schultern, Handgelenken oder Fingern machen kannst
✅ EINEN wunderschönen, schweißtreibenden Yogaflow, der den ganzen Körper aktiviert, fordert und stärkt – denn auch das geht ohne ein einziges Vinyasa oder nach-unten-schauenden Hund. 💪
✅ EINE Sequenz, die die Arme und Schultern mobilisiert und kräftigt.
✅ Wie du deinen inneren Heiler aktivierst und ins Vertrauen kommst.
Hatte ich erwähnt, dass der Kurs komplett GRATIS ist? Du kannst damit eine ganze Woche üben, und wenn du willst noch eine und noch eine…

Just before 100rds of wishes are flying in, I try to be one of the first... My CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU: please find a link to a powerful yoga practice with lots of down-ward-facing dog poses in the comments!
So definitely NOT a hands-free yoga session. Please only practice if your shoulder, arms and hands are fine at present.

TEACHER / PUPIL MANTRA - SHANTI MANTRA

oṃ sa ha nāvavatu
sa ha nau bhunaktu
sa ha vīryaṃ karavāvahai
tejasvināvadhītamastu
mā vidviṣāvahai
oṃ śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ

======================================

May Brahman protect us,
may Brahman enjoy us,
may our study be vigorous.
May the light of understanding spread between us.
In the inevitable case of conflict
may we never hate one another.
May there be peace within us,
around us,
and in the forces of nature acting upon us!

I have recently tested this yoga mat and I am pretty impressed! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

It has a very good price-performance ratio (around 42 Euro = 300 kr incl. transport costs from the UK)
- your hands and feet do not slip on it.
- The color is actually much nicer rose then on the picture.
- I have the 6mm mat and it is pretty light-weighted.
- The surface really feels good (and not that rough like one of my other mats).

The mat comes with a bag and a strap both to hang the mat around your shoulder.

Still, I have noticed two minor negative points:

- It is quite hard to roll and put back into its bag. But there is coming a strap with it, which is easy to handle and you still can hang the mat around your shoulder.

- The second point is that your sweat leaves some stains on the mat. You can not see them anymore once they dried.

For a long time, I resisted doing Yin yoga. Then I did it a couple of times and still did not really like it. Till I was introduced to Helga Baumgartner. I fell in love with her way of teaching Yin yoga. She has such a lovely personality and profound knowledge of how to modify the Yin poses that they suit everyone. Helga helped me with the challenges of Yin yoga and made it mentally accessible for me. That really impressed me. In June I did my first online teacher training in Yin yoga with her and now I am happy to introduce this practice into my classes.

Yin Yoga is becoming more popular and has to offer different benefits than your usual Yang yoga practice does. Read here how to master this gentle practice.

Dear Yogis and Soon-To-Be-Yogis,

I will open from Wednesday 12. August on again. Due to Corona I can only host up to 4 students, therefore I will change to an open course system. This means you can register for every class new. Classes will be Wednesday and Thursday at 17:30 and 19:30 pm. You can pay per class (drop in) either 150 kr or buy an 8-class-pass for 1.040 (130 kr per class. The pass is valid 4 months.)

As well because of Corona: Please keep in mind that you have to bring your own yoga mat. If you don't have a mat, please use the time now to buy one.

To book a class please send me an email to kirstinhofkens@yahoo.de or via sms 26292877 or via WhatsApp.

Please send me your email address to receive my newsletter with the most recent infos about class tables, blog posts and free yoga stuff.

Warm regards,
Kirstin
