Great post! Micro- habits can make such a difference. Nutrinika and I are working together on something very special for you! Combining nutritional support and mindful yoga practice for women in their mid-lives. We both have been there and both realise that acceptance and awareness are essential for healthier, happier living! It is not dieting or strict fitness routine, it is nourishment and mindfulness that can help!

Day 2: Protein and strength that travel
Breakfast on repeat to cut decisions. Pick one and run it again today. Savoury skyr bowl (200 g) with cucumber, olives, and pumpkin seeds provides approximately 28 to 30 g of protein. Cottage cheese bowl 200 g with mixed leaves and half an avocado gives about 28 to 32 g. Tofu scramble 150 g with peppers and spinach gives about 25 to 30 g.
Lunch upgrade. Keep the lunch formula and add 10 g nuts or seeds for crunch and satiety. Good options are pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts.
Strength focus. Repeat Day 1 moves and slow every lowering phase to a three count. Chair squats 8 to 12. Wall push ups 8 to 12. Backpack row 8 to 12. Suitcase carry 30 seconds each side. If you are away from home, swap the backpack row for a towel row in a doorway and use a water bottle for the carry.
Mobility add on. Hip openers and shoulder circles for two minutes total. Move within a pain-free range.
Mindset for two minutes. Write one line for tomorrow's meals and one line for movement. Add your lights-out time.
Hydration. One large glass on waking and one mid-afternoon. The total target is about two litres across the day.
Check in tonight. Fewer afternoon cravings and steadier energy. If cravings persist, add 10 g more protein at breakfast tomorrow and take a ten-minute walk after lunch.

Why I hardly ever teach complicated asanas? I am focused on practical aspect of each posture in the class.

I want you to move better, with less pain and more ease. I want you to feel the benefit of practising with me when you leave the studio. I want you to learn to apply your yogic knowledge to your daily life. Come and join me on Mondays at 7:30pm in . Move better, feel better and be happier!

If you want to impress your friends with sophisticated shapes and move, this evening class is not for you. There are many more to choose on the studio website. There is class, a teacher and community for everyone.

Yesterday I did not have this joyful feeling, quite contrary. I felt utterly exhausted. Despite this, I went to my regular yoga class and things got worse. I felt tired and frustrated until savasana. I wanted people to be quiet, I wanted the practice to finish. Is this normal? Yes. We all struggle sometimes. When we feel tired, it is harder than ever to fully embrace the practice, to embody it. The body and mind are in disagreement. The mind and ego tells us what we should be doing, the body applies its own wisdom and refuses to follow. If you feel like this, give yourself some grace and listen to what your body whispers before it starts screaming. Rest can be our yoga practice too. Yesterday I forgot this.

September is here so is usual evening class at . For the next six weeks we will focus on bringing strength through yoga practice, so we move with more confidence and less pain, whatever our age and fitness levels. As you probably know by now, I am keen on bringing yoga practice to daily life, getting ‘snapshots’ of practice whenever and wherever you can. Book your class on the studio website or give me a shout if you would like to book the whole six weeks, get a discount and ensure consistency. I so look forward seeing you getting stronger, happier and calmer through your practice

A.. so there is some scientific proof what some of us knew for long. Escape to the threes, breathe and heal your body and mind

Taking time out is essential. It easy to forget how wonderful life is, how lucky we are. Daily chores can overshadow joy. To find it we need to create time and space to reconnect with ourselves and those we love. For me there is no better place than in the forrest. Where do you go to reconnect?

If you like me love running and walking,yoga practice can help maintain your mobility and help heal sore muscles. You do not always need props or the whole 45mins. You can simply pause mid-walk and give your body and mind a break. Yesterday’s uploaded to YouTube mini-practice does just this. Link for you is in comments.

This is yoga. Taking time out to re-set nervous system, recharge batteries, soothe the body. It is not laziness, it is unorthodox approach to restorative practice. Sometime all we need is a few minutes to ourselves. No props. Sunscreen.

Sometimes life can be hard. We carry a lot on our shoulders. Yoga practice can help shift the tension, friends and community help us to lift it off. Together we are stronger. If you practise with me, you already know that asana practice is important but the support and joy we are creating is essential. You are more important than shapes you create during the class. You, your health, mobility, strength and joy are most important! So please remember, you can lie down for 45mins, rest deeply and that’s your practice! Let it bring you joy.
