"A few nights ago, I ate my fair share of chips and salsa. I paid the price in water retention; I woke up with a bloated belly, and when I looked down at my fingers, they were not fingers—they were sausage links. After a few days of wolfing down sodium-filled foods, I looked in the mirror and saw Will Smith from his movie Hitch after his allergic reaction to some food he ate. POOF. Yep, salt face." These are my top three #yoga poses to stimulate #digestion that I use to get back on track (along with drinking 3 to 4 liters of water), to flush out the bad foods, and make room for the salads, lean meats and water-filled veggies.

Connect your #mind and #body, open up a whole new world.

Despite its immense worldwide popularity, there are still a lot of misconceptions about #yoga and those who #practice it. 1. You Don’t Have To Touch Your Toes .....

It's #Vinyasa #yoga day! Which class are you going to join? ;)

"I would recommended #yoga to anyone who has problems with #depression, panic attacks, #stress, #anxiety, or simply does not feel satisfied and happy. Just try it for a week, two or month. You have nothing to lose except negative energy, and everything to gain."

Just another reason to roll out the #mat... #yoga #savasana #asana #relaxation #corpsepose #weloveyoga #happiness #yogastudio #heidelberg

MONDAY MOTIVATION :) Falling out of a #pose means you are human, getting back into the posture means you are a #yogi. #Monday #motivation #inspiration #mondaymotivation #yoga #yogaeveryday #yogini

Another #weekend is gone, but before you get back to your desk, have a look at this simple #office #yoga sequence just in case you cannot get to your favorite class.

#Handstands are NOT your way into #enlightenment. I’m quite certain Vishnu (or Jesus or whomever…) doesn’t give a fuck if you are an amazing arm-balancer or not. Period. I mean, can you imagine it…“Sorry Jamie, you can’t return…that koundinyasana was just pathetic!” Seriously?!! Remember, competing into divine acceptance is not the function of #asana. (HINT: You already have acceptance!) We practice asana to dissolve all of our ego and attachments to anything other than what is and what we are. Advanced asana can be your way into YOU.

We ll have 5 minutes a day, right?

The practice of #yoga can be a great way to not only maintain your body’s physical wellness, but your mental and emotional wellness also. The lessons you learn on the mat — in regards to both your outer and inner well beings— remain with you in both times of stress and peace. Even teaching ourselves how to cope with difficult poses, can help us to learn how to cope with the stresses of every day life.

Nagging back pain can come at any age, and all too many of us are familiar with it. The good thing is, most #backpain isn't caused by a serious medical condition, but rather everyday habits like poor posture, exercise, or simply sitting too much. By strengthening the core and releasing tension and tightness around the upper and lower back, you can usually ease the pain—and even prevent it. #pilates #bacpainrelieve #health
