Yoga With Franciska

Last year in February I decided to create something new, something exciting, something that I’ve never done before.

A year went by -and a little more-...
The Earth travelled around the Sun, my kids grow a ton, I got a year (let’s just say) wiser, glowing, neon waves have been showing up off the Southern California coast, and of course the whole World shut down due to COVID-19...

The list doesn’t stop here.
Because tomorrow is a big big day for me.

I’m finally launching my socially responsible, eco friendly activewear line,

It started off as a sparkle in my brain and I feel like something way bigger than me was holding my hands and guided me all the way to this moment.
I didn’t know any of the details at the beginning or the directions I should go to but I had faith. Faith in myself, faith in the universe and faith in God.

And today I’m standing here right at the starting line, excited, happy, proud and also a bit terrified.

I’m not going to lie. It was a really hard year. I definitely worked my 🍑 off, had a ton of frustrating, sometimes hopeless moments.

But I didn’t give up!
And that my friend is what set apart a dreamer and a doer.

I want to encourage you to follow your dreams, take a step today. Don’t hesitate. Don’t wait until tomorrow.
Just do it! Go for it!

I don’t know if this is going to be successful or not. But I know for sure that if I wouldn’t give it a try I would have been disappointed at my self for the rest of my life. And I’m grateful for everything that I have learned throughout this time. Not just about e-commerce and the fashion industry but mostly about myself 🙏

Lastly I wanted to express my gratitude for YOU!
Your encouragement, your friendship and your faith in me.

Now head over to
www.aura7activewear.com
and get your brand new, favorite eco friendly activewear 😉

OFFICIAL LAUNCH 7/30 12:00am!!!!♥️🚀🙏

You are so much stronger than you think. Don’t forget you are a force of nature.

Me and one of the 7 magic mountains...
Mesmerizing 🧡💛💚💙💗❤️

Ah, Chaturanga Dandasana ...

as one the most challenging movements in yoga, it's also one that's notoriously performed incorrectly most often. So why is it that so many yogis struggle with this pose? The key is building up enough arm strength, so that the hips and chest stay lifted as you lower down, while the elbows stay hugged in at your sides.

Lonely yogi on the beach...🧘🏻
•
Can’t wait for our beaches to reopen...🏖
•
This s a good reminder that we should appreciate what we have, before it turns into what we had...
•
What are you grateful for right now? Say it out loud and let me know. 📢 📢📢
•
Because acknowledging the good that we have is the foundation for all abundance 🙏

Yoga and meditation are power tools to overcome anxiety and depression. •
This uncertain time can cause both. It’s really important to take care of our bodies and our minds.
•
I offer daily live workouts here on Instagram PST every day and a more calming yoga class every weekday PST.
And it’s all FREE!
•
Busy around those times? No worries. Head over to YouTube and check out those classes any time. Link in bio 👆

I’m here for you my friend 🙏❤️

Did you know that through twisting we lengthen the spine and get space between the bones? Then our energy can flow better. Twists give us an instant energy lift and decompress the vertebrae in a safe healthy way.
•
What’s your favorite twist?
Mine is Ardha Matsyendrāsana 👌

I miss my Yoga tribe so much...

Mental health check in. On a scale of 1😩 to 10 😁 where are you at?
•
Maybe some day we’re going to say “remember the quarantine days?” but right now we are in this together but really not together...
It is overwhelming, stressful, unknown and scary but also spiritual, eye opening, grounding and powerful in the same time.
•
Like a roller coaster 🎢 with our feelings and emotions. Constant change between ups and downs...
•
Maybe we all should just stop worrying about what can go wrong and start being excited about what can go right...
Positivity comes from within 🙏💜
•
Let me know how are you feeling today?
How do you keep yourself motivated? What are the conversations in your head? •

Sometimes you don’t realize the weight of something you’ve been carrying until you feel the weight of its release.
BREATHE IN•BREATHE OUT•LET GO

Feeling emotional today? 😭
•
Than it’s a perfect day to do yoga and focus on some hip openers 🦿
•
Check out my 30 minute hip opener on YouTube 🎥🧘🏻

Did you know that stretching your hips helps you release stress?
•
One of the main benefits of hip openers is stretching and strengthening muscles that are directly connected to our stress response.
One muscle in particular, the psoas, is a muscle that attaches the lumbar spine to the femur bone, and is triggered when we feel stress. So, even though we don’t really have much of a need to literally “fight” or “flight”, when the body experiences stress, the signal still travels to this muscle.
•
So, you can see how this muscle can carry a great deal of residual tension and benefits greatly from being stretched with hip openers.
•
What is your favorite hip opener? 💜
I love flying pigeon🕊

Stretching may be inconvenient, but it’s super important.

Why is that?

Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.

Regular stretching keeps muscles long, lean, and flexible, and this means that exertion won't put too much force on the muscle itself. Healthy muscles also help a person with balance problems to avoid falls.
•
What do you do today to stretch your body?

Life is all about balance. You don’t always need to be getting stuff done. Sometimes it’s perfectly okay, and absolutely necessary, to shut down, kick back, and do nothing. - Lori Deschene

“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” — Brené Brown

Step back. Allow things to unfold. There is a beauty to be found in letting things go.

Double tap if you miss your yoga studio, gym, barre studio or any other place where you work out or practice with your fellow humans.
I totally feel you. I do too. 😭😭😭
But STOP 🛑...a home practice can really help you improve your posture or get you into a new pose that you never done before.
And right now more than ever there are a million options online and many of them are actually free❌💰
•
In fact I offer free classes here on Instagram every day PST as well as PST.
You can also check out my YouTube channel for more;)
DM for questions or requests.
I would love to hear from you ❤️

SUNDAY🌞
Sunday is the day of the Sun, a perfect day for relaxing, unwinding and connecting with your inner self.

Sunday is the perfect day for going within and tapping into your inner sunshine and radiance. The energy of the day really supports self-reflection, spiritual growth and giving yourself the time you need to restore and replenish your soul.

Sunday carries with it a beautiful vibe for unwinding and getting centered and refocused for the week ahead. Sunday is also the perfect time to focus on matters surrounding your health and well-being.

Social gatherings are also likely to be harmonious and easy-flowing on Sunday and emotions will often feel softer and gentler.

In order to use the energy of Sunday effectively, make it a day for rest and relaxation. Try not to schedule anything too demanding or high energy on Sunday and instead, take the time to connect to your inner radiance.

Every day carries it’s own unique vibration and when you can tune in to its energy, you will start to notice how it will shape and guide your week.

Trust the process. We always end up right where we're meant to be, right when we're meant to be there.
