A yoga practice is meant to fuse together opposites in order to attain balance, or equanimity. In life as well as in yoga, we want to add what is not there, to find better balance. So if we are stressed, rushed, and on-the-go, we need to add more relaxation, pausing and doing less, in order to get ourselves back into a better flow of life. The most intelligent choice in hectic times is to destress and to restore.

Since the start of civilization we have emphasized the active life (yang) in some cultures and the contemplative life (yin) in others. Now we have the opportunity to explore both and find the appropriate balance between the two. But how do we find time to figure out what we need when everything around us is spinning so fast?  What does mindful living mean in a modern world? 

Are you running to fast and tend a bit lost? You are not alone! This is why I would like to invite you to a month filled with yin and restorative. To find inner peace in Christmas time, and a harmonious ending to this year. We'll start these four weeks tomorrow, but get a sneak peak here! 

Yoga teacher Frida Starvid (fd Boström) asks her self if there really are some yoga forms that are better than others or more true? And does it really matter as long as you find the yoga form that suits you and your needs?

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.

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!
