Still full of energy from last weekend - 4 days of yoga for kids teacher training. I met so many inspiring women, felt like a child again, danced like there was no one around and had so so much fun! Cannot wait to bring this feeling and fantasy to many kids on the mat. Thank you @jennifermattesyoga for teaching us the way you did - with a heart full of joy! ✨

Do I mobilize my spine when I create length in my side body? YES! And it feels sooo good!
.
In yoga classes you might hear quite often “create length” and many times we lift up our hands and arms towards the sky. Can you really feel the length in that moment? Do you feel the length through deep breaths? Maybe next time, take a step back and go slowly. Starting with creating length in your sides by doing some side body stretches, reminding yourself:
.
Where do I want to feel the stretch and can I guide my breath to that area?
Are my shoulders relaxed?
Can I go deeper with small adjustments?
.
I personally love the one lying on my back - bananasana. Funny name and after a while it gives me the feeling that I have grown another cm taller 😁
.
Which is your favorite side body stretch?

I like to include twists in my yoga classes (and in my own practice even more). There are several ways to mobilize the spine and I am planning to tell you a bit more about it in the upcoming days/ weeks. What do you think how many directions there are to move our spine? Twists are two of them, considering twisting to both sides, and it can feel totally different on each side. (I prefer twisting to the right side)
.
The nice part about twists is that you can find them in any kind of yoga style - beginner or advanced, powerful or slow. When I got on the mat the other day, I did different ways of twists and tried to notice the difference in them. Where do I feel the most comfortable, where can I twist deeper? The funny thing about this reflection is that it can feel different every time I get on the mat.
.
Seated twist: I love how I can do this without a big warmup, focus on the length of the spine.
Standing twist: This time I used a block for the easy standing twist which made it feel more active.
Low lunge twist: This one needs a little more warmup, but I enjoy the hip opener at the same time as pulling the arms apart and creating strength.
Lying twist: Here I can fully let go and sink into the twist, going deeper with every breath.
.
Which one is your favorite way of twisting at the moment?

For my new yoga spot and much more. We recently moved into a new apartment which meant a lot of work (physical and emotional), but also brings lots of joy to our family. After a week in the new place I finally found my way to my yoga block and mat. A short and slow session gave my mind and my back a break from boxes, playtime with the little one and all the other stuff.
.
Yoga can sometimes be so simple - a break from everything else going on in life. And we as humans tend to aim for higher and faster too often so that we forget about the slow and steady break our minds and bodies need every now and then.
.
When was the last time you took a break and how did it look like?

Taking some me-time during family holiday can be difficult I came to realize. Today, I made it on my invisible mat (nowadays, there is only limited space in the suitcase, but I definitely learned that my travel mat should be an essential on any future trips, as it used to be in the past too) and I loved it - not only because of the feeling of sun rays on my skin but also the yoga glow feeling afterwards. Connecting mind, body and breath is what I love about yoga and what I want to teach to others in my classes too.
