With the nice weather I find practicing yoga outdoor brings another dimension and make my practice even more enjoyable🌸Even if you don’t have a garden, go to your local park, mountain or lake and practice in the fresh air. If you would like to join me for outdoor yoga, send me a DM. Remember I also give private lessons in your home or garden. Summer is the perfect time to start your practice at your own rythme. On this photo I was giving a private class to a small group of British ladies in Windsor (UK) and they all loved it!🌻🌺🪻🙏

Je suis ravie de vous offrir aujourd’hui un cours de Yin yoga focalisé sur le Méridien du Rein!

Le Méridien du Rein est l’un des principaux Méridiens du corps, selon la médecine chinoise. Il est considéré comme l’organe gouverneur en hiver et est responsable de la conservation de l’énergie vitale, du Chi, dans l’organisme. Le Méridien du Rein est également lié à la gestion du stress, de la reproduction et de la régulation de la tension artérielle. Donc il est très important d’aider l’énergie à circuler mieux sur ce Méridien en faisant ce cours de Yin yoga avec moi.

If you are spending too much time seated in front of a screen every day then this is the class for you!
Spending too much time seated every day is very bad for your health as you already probably know.
Here are some of the potential serious consequences:
• Increased risk of cardiovascular disease: Prolonged sitting has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
• Weakened muscles: The seated position can lead to muscle atrophy, particularly in the legs and glutes, which can make it difficult to stand or walk.
• Poor posture: Sitting for extended periods can cause poor posture, leading to strain on the back, neck, and shoulders.
• Brain function decline: Spending too much time seated has been linked to a decline in brain function, including reduced cognitive function and increased risk of dementia.
• Social isolation: Prolonged sitting can lead to social isolation, which can negatively impact mental health and overall well-being.
• Back and neck pain: Sitting for extended periods can cause strain on the back and neck, leading to pain and discomfort.
• Reduced metabolism: Sitting for long periods can slow down the metabolism, making it more difficult to lose weight and maintain overall health.
This Vinyasa flow will help release all the tension held in your legs and hips due to spending too much time seated. If needed practice this class every day after work ☯️

So wait no longer and start practicing with me now! Follow this link: https://youtu.be/Isu0sMRitVw?si=Hs9Ia1kxFezIhBPL 🙏🧘‍♀️🌸
