I'm saving the energy this autumn 🍂 but still adding videos when I can. Come and practice with me to feel better☯️

📢 Try my egg crush pulse ups challenge😁

Basically try doing as many pulse ups as you can with an egg underneath your hips without crushing it😄 The pressure is real🤣🤣

I came up with this idea and then chickened out and went for a ping-pong ball instead😆

Try it and tell me how many you can do in comments and I will try to beat it😄

Be creative with your props if you don't want to clean an 🥚 from your matt.

And if you need to strengthen your core and abs there is a new core burn training coming up today on my youtube channel. Subscribe and never miss any😊

Happy Wednesday ✌️

My state of flow definitely happens upside down 🤸‍♀️

Inversions are the best to learn to focus. You can then apply it to different areas of life and become more efficient.

Tomorrow, ferearm stand aka pincha mayurasana tutorial on my youtube channel. It might be too hot to exercise, but never too hot to get upside down😁

Try it😊

Happy Monday!

If it's too hot to exercise 🥵 stretch instead 😁

Heat is actually good for stretching. Use this rather warm time to melt into some nice stretches and unwind. There are some slow yoga asana classes on mu youtube channel that you can use for stretching ideas.

This is one of my favourite stretches. You can work on your hips and shoulders at the same time. Win win😁

Friday little movement.

Movement is a crucial part of mammals life. Not necessarily just a weighloss tool. Once you see the movement as equally important to sleep and nutrition, it will become easier to find time for it every day✌️😊

You can start with walking, jogging, swimming, riding a bike or simple yoga adana class. You can find short classes on my youtube channel (link in bio).

Happy Friday 😊

Me making tough decisions🤔

It's a mental recovery week, inversion assisted🤸‍♀️

Did you know that the focus needed to stay upside down helps quiet the brain and keep those unwanted thoughts away?

Try it💪 it doesn’t need to be a handstand, any inversion will do.

I love being on my hands. Keeping my wrist injury free is my priority now😁

A few years ago, a group of researchers wrote a paper on how people who are able to sit down and get up of the floor without using hands and knees for support are seven times more likely to live longer than the ones that couldn't.

The research was primarily aimed at elderly but they also confirmed that this applies to people over 40.

I'm slightly skeptical as I'm not sure if this is down to mobility or weight, or both🤔 However, other researches show that mobility, flexibility, balance, motor coordination and skeletal muscle strength has a great impact on the life expectancy.

So, go and take a test. Lower yourself down to the floor without using hands and knees. Try not to cross your legs for extra difficulty. Then bring yourself back up again. If you pass, great, hats off👏👏👏

If you fail, don't worry, you can learn it. It's a skill that you can practice and gain. Watch my get up tutorial on YouTube to find out which muscles you need to activate to be able to do it. Practice every day for a few minutes and I guarantee you going to be able to do it within a few weeks💪

Try it😁

Runners training not only for runners. This little workout is for enyone who suffers from knee or hip pain caused by weak and tight tensor fasciae latae. It's a small but mighty muscle that stabilises the hips and knees whilst walking, running or lunging.

It might become tight and weak which compromises its' function and destabilise the hips and knees. in consequence you might feel pain in one or both of these areas whilst moving or afterwards.

This workout doesn't look hard and it probably won't feel like a proper workout but if you want to get rid of that pain I recommend adding it to your workout routine.

3-5 Sets or less if you're a beginner.

Disclaimer: this workout should be done after your activity and never before, as it will tire the muscle and cause more pain.

Also, I'm not a doctor or physio and, if you have a knee or hip pain, you should consult it with a professional. This training is only a recommendation for healthy people who feel pain during or after running or walking and know that there is nothing else causing it.

Best core drill on the go. Just add a few of them at the end of your workout 💪 Nothing fancy, no complex moves, just easy core burn🔥😊

Check my youtube channel for more core workouts😁

Happy Wednesday 😊

Officially back in the game🤸‍♀️ Four weeks later🙈 can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to be upside down again for a millisecond🤏

I lost a lot of strength and balance but really happy to be able to start working on regaining it😊

So, the only thing I can say is: know your exercise technique, warm up, back off when it feels weird, don't push through pain.

There are some tutorials on my youtube channel and more coming up every week.

Happy Monday💫

Upper back recovery and stretch. This is my absolute number one to go to when feeling tight in the back and shoulders ofter a day at the computer.

If you work on a computer a lot, I would say you might want to buy a foam roller. And no, I don't sell them and don't have a discount code to share😆 but you can find them quite cheap in your local shops or on the net.

This is a nice, little tool that can be very useful and it's worth having.

Brand new on my youtube channel is now ready for you.

Like all my core burn workouts (yes, there is more) it's short but mighty. These are the type of workouts I mainly do.

Core training doesn’t have to be long. Core muscles will develop as long as you are consistent and do little but often.

Complete 3-5 sets at the end of your main training session whether resistance or cardio. You can also do it just on it's own if that's your plan for the day.

Never complete your core training at the beginning of your workout though.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Enjoy 😁

Happy Humpday😊✌️

In this video I'll show you a few tips on how to get into uttanasana or ardha uttanasana. Forward fold is an important part of yoga vinyasa practice and it's a bit tricky to avoid altogether.

It can be problematic for some people especially in the beginning as it requires a level of flexibility and body awareness.

Not all yoga cues are based on our anatomy which can sometimes make us work against our natural movement patterns. In this video you'll find a little explanation about folding and how to make it more accessible and safe.

I hope it will help you with you daily practice and enable you to gain more flexibility and ease in your daily movement.
