Chaturanga Dandasana with 2 bricks under the chest.
Such a simple trick to actually stay in the asana with better alignment.
Many people drop too deep through the chest and shoulders.
The bricks give you a clear stopping point and help you build strength.
Try it and feel the difference.
Enjoy 🤍
(And yes… sound will get better soon, mic coming 😄)

I really like this one!
What I want to emphasize for you to notice in tabletop is that there is No need to squeeze the butt, since it can compress the lower back and block the chest from opening.
Instead, move from the shoulders and the thoracic spine. Let the chest open.
On the way back, press into the brakes round the spine, engage the core, draw the navel in and up.
Straighten the knees, flex the feet, engage the quads.
And enjoy the movement.

I feel like sharing and recommending the experience I had today. It was a trippy jungle journey with my friend Anu today.
No substances. But a beautiful psychedelic experiences nonetheless.
Some of you might know Anu from the teacher trainings at …For years we taught together, and he has always been one of the most intuitive teachers I know.
These days he doesn’t teach yoga in the conventional asana class way. But the spirit of yoga is very much there. Now he guides people through movement, dance, energy, and nature journeys.
Anu holds space in a very deep, sweet, particular way, that for lack of better words I will just call TRIPPY(-in the best possible way)…
Everything felt like a metaphor today:
The nature.
The climb.
The silence.
The butterflies and the lizards.
I’ve met myself deeply. But also very lightly and sweetly.
We started (and ended) with a deep, meaningful conversation and some visions and insights.
Then when I felt ready i went into the jungle. Most of the time I walked alone while he stayed behind me. I couldn’t see him, but I knew he was there. It gave me space, privacy to feel myself in nature and also gave me a feeling of safety at the same time.
At the top we shared the lunch he prepared, looked over the jungle, laughed, talked, and shared what came up along the way up.
Anu holds space in such a unique way. It’s something I’ve never experienced with anyone else.
In the journey today I felt that I’m allowed to move like this.
I’m allowed to connect with nature like that.
I felt like a human. Grounded. Alive. Happy. Peaceful. Calm. Strong. Soft.
If you are on Koh Phangan and feel curious to explore yourself in the jungle-womb of this magnificent island, I can truly recommend Anu’s jungle journeys.
This is him .presence
Feel free to ask me more about it.

What’s Alignment Yoga?
Alignment Yoga is a method I’ve developed from 20 years of teaching and practice - blending yoga therapy, Iyengar-inspired precision, physiotherapy, Pilates, and somatic movement.
I’ve been teaching on Koh-Phangan since 2010 and leading Teacher Trainings since 2016 at my studio - Luna Alignment Yoga.
Each class has a clear theme; from core activation and hip mobility to nervous system balance, breath, posture, and back health and so much more!
What to expect:
✔️ Mobility & strength
✔️ Smart alignment & therapeutic adaptations
✔️ Core activation & breath work
✔️ Nervous system regulation
✔️ Creative use of props
✔️ Inversions (no headstands)
What not to expect:
✖️ Sun salutations or vinyasa flows
Come sweat, explore, and practice with awareness.

I love this variation of Parivrtta Parsvakonasana. It’s incredible for cultivating optimal posture.
How to practice it?
First, place just the very edge of your elbow against the outer thigh. Bring the palms together and push away from the bottom shoulder, don’t lean into it!
Then rotate through the thoracic spine, engage the abdomen, keep the spine long, and work the palms toward the center of the chest.
Keep the back leg straight and strong.
When you do all that, the core muscles fire together with the deep back muscles. This coordinated action teaches them to work in concert, supporting a more erect and organized spine.
And we all want that… 😁

I like to keep things simple; just because something is simple does not mean it isn’t beneficial.
This small transition does a lot.
Moving forward and back from Malasana to kneeling, with the toes tucked,
This will strengthen the feet and ankles,
teach the hips and hip flexors to work through range, and support the lower back through coordinated movement rather than collapse.
This one is about moving better, with awareness, load, and ease.
