During my pregnancy, I practically lived on my yoga mat.
⠀
My lower and upper back was hurting, my feet were swelling and yoga was the only thing that offered at least some relief.
⠀
Here are 9 yoga poses that I did (almost) every day and that made me feel better than ever!
⠀
⚠️ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁! ⚠️
⠀
Standing forward folds, twists, and core work are usually not advised during pregnancy. But with the right modifications, these poses can be totally safe.
⠀
*Essential rule to remember:
Never compress the belly.*
⠀
This means:
⠀
1) widen the stance in forward folds
⠀
2) do gentle open twists instead of closed ones
⠀
3) avoid crunches while exercising core.

Sleep is awesome. It doesn’t only reduce stress

Sleep is awesome. It doesn’t only reduce stress and keeps your energy levels high but also improves memory, reduces the risk of heart disease, and delays aging.
⠀
The best part?
⠀
It’s absolutely free.
⠀
But just as good sleep does wonder to our brain and body, the lack of it can easily have an opposite effect.
⠀
And let me tell you - you’ll be surprised about how many issues are caused by poor sleep.
⠀
Anxiety, bad focus, mood swings, high sugar, weakened immunity, memory issues... The list goes on and on.
⠀
This easy yoga flow for better sleep will help you wind down after a long day and get some good shut-eye in as short as 15 minutes. 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️
⠀
The sequence starts with gentle standing movements to release body tension and moves into soothing and grounding poses to invite mental relaxation and promote sleep. 😴 Get full instructions + free printable for the flow at yogakali.com.

I thought 5 weeks postpartum I'd be rocking on my yoga mat, shedding my pregnancy weight and regaining my strength. 💪
⠀
But then life happened and left me with a C-section scar and "no training for weeks" doctor's order. 😰
⠀
So here I am, taking it easy and celebrating my body after its amazing work of growing a little human.
⠀
On low days, I'm keeping my head up by reminding myself that nothing lasts forever - neither pp aching body nor no-workout restriction.
⠀
Except probably my organic cotton underwear set from @organicbasics that has stretched with me during all the pregnancy and is still good to go for months. 😄 ❤ #gifted

A super simple step-by-step meditation practice that a 10 year old would understand 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️
⠀
You don't need no apps or Youtube channels.
⠀
1. Sit down with a straight back.
⠀
2. Focus on your breath.
⠀
3. Take a deep breath, breathe out, notice the body breathing, count 1.
⠀
4. Take a deep breath, breathe out, notice the body breathing, count 2
⠀
5. Take a deep breath, oops here a thought train takes over your mind for 20 seconds, that's ok, start over once you become aware of that.
⠀
6. Take a deep breath, breathe out, notice the body breathing, count 1.
⠀
7. Keep doing this until you are able to count to 10 without thought trains then start over.
⠀
Initially you may force the breathing (because you think you have to do something to "meditate") but at some point you will just start watching the body do the breathing on its own without doing anything.
⠀
Do this for 20 minutes twice a day, in 6 months you'll be a Zen master compared to now.

Here's not a typical yoga progress pic. But it truly shows what progress in yoga means to me.
⠀
A little more than a year ago, I felt that my daily practice wasn't complete without doing at least one of the advanced asanas.
⠀
I felt because I'm teaching yoga, I HAVE TO wow people with my flexibility and acrobatics.
⠀
Fast forward now - getting on the mat is not a prerequisite for me to do yoga anymore. Most importantly, when I do get onto the mat, it's the state of mind that defines the quality of my practice, not what poses I get into or how deeply I twist.
⠀
We often treat progress in yoga as something tangible and physical. Like finally touching your toes in a forward fold or getting into a headstand without wall support.
⠀
So, in the end, it's easy to forget that 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲.
⠀
It happens when you stop counting those pitiful cm to reach the ground, but instead "ahh" at the sense of relief in your legs and your mind.
⠀
It happens when you spend 20 minutes in Savasana without feeling guilty.
⠀
It happens when you can get into Wheel but choose to hang out in Bridge instead. Do you measure your yoga progress? If yes, how?
