Yoga Socks!

Yoga Rocks!

Especially when I use these Yoga Socks. As you probably know I'm a big yoga fan. I especially love vinyasa yoga. It's a very intensive form of yoga in which you are in a flow of moving but find strength in your breathing. It is as intensive that I start sweating which makes things quite slippery on my yoga mat. To avoid all this, i recently started using these yoga socks. They are similar to what little kids use for support. Not only does it help me from sliding off my yoga mat but it also helps me spread my toes for a better grounded feeling (which is the essence of yoga)

This is a post i already prepared in september but i never managed to finish it. I was able to do a yoga session next to the canal nearby. Look at the amazing view. So calming... Don't you miss summer?

 

After a yoga session, I like spraying my body with pure Argan Oil. Then I lie down Savanasa (Relaxation flat on your back) for a few minutes which helps my body to soak up the oil.

Baby skin afterwards, girls and boys! So perfect for cold winter days when your skin gets dry..

 

Back on the mat!

 

 

During the past month I did not really practice yoga a lot.  Since this week I'm really back on the mat!

 

This balance pose is called 'Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana' which literally means 'stretching your hand to your big toe posture'. Asana means posture or pose. This one strenghtens the leg muscles and opens your groin.

 

It is done from your 'core'. So use your core muscles. To get into the pose focus is the most important. It is all in the mind. It is the pathway to finding your focus point strangely enough calms you down and makes you more balanced. And that's what yoga is about.

 

I just love balancing poses. They challenge you on different levels. And in a way any yoga pose is a balancing pose. It's about building on stable foundations and dividing your weight between these foundations.

 

I'd love to inspire you to try some other postures and modifications for different levels if you'd like me to....
