It`s S U M M E R T I M E ! So instead of practicing in a hot studio, why not bringing your practice with you into the pool (ocean or lake) ?

What I love about Yoga? That you can do it really ANYTIME EVERYWHERE.. even on a tiny plane!! If you follow our journey / life more frequently you might observe, that we spend quite a bit of it in it, so to make flying more convenient I will share some easy yoga stretches you can do anytime during your flight. Of course you will have more space in First or Business Class but if you are like me traveling the cheap way, it might become a bit of a challenge 🙂
Virabhadrasana was named after a famous warrior from an ancient Indian mythology. The arms symbolize the swords which are powerfully stretched towards the sky. The purpose of this pose is to be strong and to overcome fear.
If we travel across a number of time zones our body clock will be out of synch and we experience this so called JETLAG. But not just our sleep and wake pattern will get shaken up; it has a big impact on a whole lot of other body functions like on our hormone household or our digestive system.
It`s proven that Yoga has a profound impact on fighting Jetlag, to recharge the body`s natural energy flow and to get back some balance.
So here are some of my all time favorites I love to do before, in-between and especially after my long journey. I always have some additional Meditation apps on my phone, which I love to use at the airport while waiting for boarding or in the plane when I have troubles sleeping.
