Luke Bache wants you to be aware of what it is you really want to cultivate through your practice. Are you on the right path?  Be curious and ask questions! For example if it is ok to ask yourself if the teacher in front of you is a person who inspires you both on and off the mat. Does their philosophy match with their everyday actions? When we take our first step on a spiritual path it is important to ask these questions to know what the path is really cultivating. 

Yogaläraren Johanna Wickström berättar om det kvinnliga rotlåset och dess kraft. Ju mer du arbetar med muskelgrupperna som tillhör rotlåset desto bättre kommer du bli på att kontrollera din energi, inre styrka och på att särskilja hur mindre muskeldelar som ingår i området påverkar olika delar av din kropp, säger hon. Upptäck potentialen i rotlåset!

Vi fortsätter in på vecka 2 av 4 tillsammans med Veronica "Vevve" Jäderlund där vi ser närmare på fotplacering och benaktivering i stående positioner. Fokus under dessa fyra veckor är att lära dig grunderna, bryta ner positionerna så du kan bygga upp dem så de passar just dig. Yoga på ditt sätt helt enkelt! För en personligare och roligare yogapraktik.

We are all battling stress, tension, and mental challenges. Yin yoga is the theme for this month and in this second part (of four) you will learn more about how you can reduce stress and tension in your life. I, like most people, have a long list of tasks to accomplish every day and many roles to juggle. Let me educate, guide and inspire you to a more balanced life with where yin yoga plays an important part.

As babies we breathed full, complete breaths, then somewhere along the way we loose track of this breath. In the yin yoga practice, the full complete breath is a marvelous tool to connect to in order to come in to the observer attention mode and also so recognize and notice what the body tells you about its form. The breath is also the force that your attention travels on.  Find out how we can find our way back to the full complete breath here. 

Regardless of how your day has been, give yourself a moment to wind down, reflect and let your body find peace. To go to sleep without a moment of relaxation may have a negative impact on your sleep and your body's opportunity to recover. So give yourself the chance to balance OFF and ON with a nice evening routine!

Are there any exercises that are good to practice after experiencing fatigue? You keep hearing that you should listen to your body. But how do we know WHAT we really should be listening for? I want to share with you three therapeutic principles that can help you when you practice.

It's not about doing, it's about being. Asana is about settling in, surrendering. By really focusing on this in your yin yoga practice as well as your yang, flow, practice, you provide your body with support to really release tension. This is how you let go of deep tension in your connective tissue and fascia. 

In order to perform your best, you need to move well in an efficient pain free fashion. Being able to get into the correct position or have the ability to move with proper form and alignment requires that your mobility is functioning correctly. Which essentially means everybody can benefit from an effective mobility practice, especially if they want to keep a healthy and well functioning body, but also if they wish to maximize their results and perform at their best.
