Mon 12.00 - Indoor (Maragall) 
Wed 19.00 - Indoor (City/Gran Via)
Sat  13.00 - on the Beach - IF the sun will keep us warm :) 
Sun  16.00 - Indoor (City/Gran Via)

Lunar Eclipse & Full Moon Tonight!

Tonight, or it actually started last night - we have Lunar Eclipse & Full Moon! The Lunar Eclipse aspect is about working on your inner self, and  illuminating yourself from within. The full moon is an emotional time, & a great time to create some kind of ritual to get rid of the old & make space for the new :) 

As for me; I will do the Antar Naad Mudra Meditation for Full Moon in Class tonight....


Meditation

I think I just found the perfect explanation for Meditation...& with only a few words :)

Kundalini Yoga & its Roots


What is Kundalini Yoga? First of all, it is not a religion. Kundalini Yoga is a technology for awareness. Awareness of that we are part of something greater. The word Yoga means union, a union between the body, mind and spirit, a connection between the soul and the universe. Yoga can help us become more balanced, more conscious, more in peace with ourselves and others.
Yoga has been practiced for more than 5,000 years and has many benefits. This form of exercise creates strength, awareness and harmony in both body and mind. It can help you develop your flexibility and balance, increase your muscle strength, and tone your body. It will improve your breathing and give you more energy. While there are many different forms of Yoga, most of them, like Kundalini Yoga, also include some form of meditation that can help us “balance and calm the mind” and reduce stress.

Sometimes I just Love being Wrong :)

Believe me When I say that I am MORE than Happy to admit that it was a Mistake to assume that the season for Yoga on the beach is over...so thank you Universe for proving me wrong :) Beautiful day on the beach yesterday & today again!

Having Trouble Falling Asleep?


Being a yogi, or yogini  is much more than "just" practising Yoga - It can be a whole lifestyle if you want. With a yogic diet, a certain way to dress, talk, walk, wake up & go to bed :)  if you have trouble falling asleep at night, here are a few tips:


If you haven’t done any exercises during the day, a walk before bedtime is a good way to let go of any stress or tensions in the body.
Make sure not to eat too late or too heavy, let the digestive system rest during the night too.

Comb your hair down with a wooden comb for a calming effect. Brush your teeth thoroughly; including the root of the tongue to get rid of all bacteria. Wash your feet with cold water and massage them with almond oil. And yes - COLD water :) We have 72 000 nerves in our body, and they all ends down the feet, so this is a great way to relax the whole nervous system.
Drink a glass of water so the body won’t get dehydrated during the night.

When in bed, before going to sleep, meditate or do some reading or say your prayers – but make sure to give gratitude for everyone and everything you have experienced so far in life – Be thankful 

Now it is time to let go of all worries and let your body and mind relax. So lie down on your back and do some long deep breathing before you turn onto your right side, and now breathe only through your left nostril (you can close off the right nostril with help from your pillow or the thumb on your right hand). This brings a calming and cooling effect on both body and brain. Lying like this will also let the heart relax, and the stomach and small intestines drain while sleeping. It will for sure work to get you into a nice and relaxed rest. And when you go to sleep relaxed, you will wake up relaxed!

Enjoy the Silence

Before you Speak, ask yourself if what you are going to say is True, is Kind, is Necessary, is Helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.

Lets talk about Food


When it comes to food, there are many different beliefs and opinions on WHAT is healthy for you and your body. I believe the most important thing when it comes to food is to prepare and eat it with love, care and gratitude. Be kind to your body by serving it with healthy food - and remember: you are what you eat eat to live, don’t live to eat.You can find more on the foodtopic here.
