We have taken away many natural pauses in our daily living here in the West. Our fast way of life  comes with the cost of higher and higher tension- and stress levels. We also see many new diseases that are stress related.  I think one part of the answer is to add more pauses and slowing down our pace. For me it is a question of integrity. Of intention. Of asking oneself with what kind of energy I wish to wake up within two years from now. 

As babies we breathed full, complete breaths, then somewhere along the way we lost track of this breath. In the yin yoga practice the full complete breath is a marvelous tool. The breath is also the force that your attention travels on. Learn how you can find your way back to the full complete breath. 

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!

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. 

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.

Our surroundings may affect how we feel, think and live. How can nature change your yoga and meditation practice? Yoga teacher Frida Boström loves to do her meditation outside – follow her and go outside, find a favorite place, sharpen your senses and just breathe.

Did you set any intentions for this year, got started, and then got lost on the way? That happens a lot of the time when trying to change our patterns.
