Hello Peeps, you might noticed that there was no Thursday Tutorial last week? Sorry for that but I had a kinda good reason: Sundering in Phuket 🙂
So here we go with another #thursdaytutorial and one of my absolute favorite hip stretches!!
When it comes to yoga, one often hears the most exotic and unusual terms and therefore it can easily happen that someone feels overwhelmed or totally confused. So I thought I just summarize the most popular ones for you and bring so a bit more clarity into the yoga jungle.
Time to hop on the plane and escape. While Penang gets floated with crowds of people celebrating Chinese new year, we decided to spontaneously go for some relaxing beach time instead.
And since I am in the middle of packing I thought why not sharing it a bit with you guys, to get a little glimpse what a yogini carries in her bag while heading to Thailand.
I am a kinda freak when it comes to incense. Seriously our house constantly smells! Either from food after cooking, from essential oils or from any kind of incense. I personally love to use Nag Champa Incense sticks, dried Sage leaves, Cedar wood or Palo Santo, also called holy wood. Every time I go back to Austria I also bring some traditional Frankincense which we normally only use on Christmas. But except the fabulous smell why are we actually burning all that stuff? What is the whole purpose behind?
Downward facing dog. Short called Down Dog. Named after the way dogs naturally stretch their bodies! And maybe one of the most recognized yoga poses in the West.
A pose which builds up strength while stretching the whole body. Downward-Facing Dog is an essential component of Sun Salutations and THE transitional pose in a yoga class.
