This might be a perfect place to do yoga...
⠀
Before living on a island, I was dreaming of tranquil practice with beachfront and palm trees.
⠀
But here's the irony.
⠀
Once I got access to these, I now much more enjoy a calm session at home 🤷
⠀
It's not only convenient - it literally takes a minute to jump on the mat - but also gives me full control over my practice.
⠀
I can choose the music I like, light the candles, and fool around without catching funny looks from people on the beach 🤣
⠀
Plus, my freckled skin is thankful for not staying in blazing sun for an hour. 😎
⠀
I still enjoy an occasional outdoor practice, but it's shorter, more relaxed, and often meditation-focused.
⠀
What's your ideal place for doing yoga? Do you prefer to do yoga indoors or outdoors?

Struggling to relax before bed? Add this simple pranayama-breathing practice to your evening bedtime routine, and you’ll see your sleep and wellbeing improving in no time.
⠀
𝗛𝗼𝘄-𝗧𝗼:
⠀
1️⃣ Make yourself comfortable in bed – both sitting and lying is fine. (Note: If you’re in the late 2nd or 3rd trimester of your pregnancy, practice the pranayama seated rather than lying on your back.)
⠀
2️⃣ Take Vishnu Mudra with your right hand – curl the index finger and middle finger toward the palm; your thumb, ring, and pinkie fingers will be left extended.
⠀
3️⃣ Close your right nostril with your thumb. Slowly breathe in through your left nostril to the count of three.
⠀
4️⃣ Hold the breath as you close your left nostril with the ring and pinkie fingers. Breathe out through your right nostril to the count of three.
⠀
5️⃣ Breathe in through your right nostril, close it with a thumb and breathe out through the left nostril.
⠀
6️⃣ Continue breathing for about 3 minutes. Finish while exhaling through the left nostril.
⠀
Try extending your inhales and exhales, but stop immediately if you get dizzy or feel shortness of breath.

Anxiety & fear are bizarre phenomena.
⠀
They occur because of something that happened to us in the past, but they are mostly concerned about the future.
⠀
Even if you've never dealt with acute bouts of anxiety or fear, there's a high chance you are now as humanity continues navigating through the pandemic.
⠀
Fear can be gripping and crippling, clouding your judgments, ability to deal with challenges, and lowering your overall well-being.
⠀
We can't control our feelings. But we can (and should) prevent feelings from taking control over us.
⠀
How do we do that?
⠀

⠀
That's where yoga comes in. (In fact, connecting YOU to your emotions is only one of the ways yoga helps relieve anxiety and fear; available scientific research says that yoga does help with anxiety on a physical level too).
⠀
When I'm feeling emotionally down, I'm treating my yoga mat as my "therapeutic zone."
⠀
I'm imagining that the moment I step on it, I'm allowing myself to feel all the worries and distress and deal with those rationally instead of pushing them away.
⠀
This 30-minute yoga sequence will help you feel empowered, self-aware, and more connected to your feelings, whether they are welcome or not, to live through them and finally let go.

With this growth rate, soon I won't fit into my pregnancy clothes and will have to walk around in underwear 😂

‘Looks aren’t everything’ applies not only to people but to clothes 👕🧦 as well. ⁣
⠀
We're used to choosing the clothes based on the style we like or color that suits us. But in 2020, it's high time we also started considering who made the stuff we're wearing and what impact it has on the planet 🌏.
⠀
Luckily, there are brands like @organicbasics that combine the best of both worlds and make beautiful stylish pieces in a sustainable 🌿 and ethical way.
⠀
Their TENCEL soft set has been my go-to underwear 👙 during the pregnancy and I truly swear by its comfort and cuteness. #gifted
