Acroyoga is one of my favourite forms of movement to do with others. It’s fun, it builds connection and trust, and it’s incredibly empowering. I started doing acroyoga around 4 years ago and since then I’ve gotten to know so many lovely people through our shared love of movement and connecting through movement. I’ve also gotten

In the first year of my yoga self-practice at home there have been many times where I made practicing yoga more complicated than it needed to be. Having too high expectations of myself or self-sabotaged to a point where I would avoid stepping on the mat and forget why I even started a yoga self-practice in the
Sun salutations were NOT what made me fall in love with the yoga practice. The first few yoga classes I ever went to were quite traditional in the sense that we warmed up doing 5 rounds of Surya Namaskar A followed by 5 rounds of Surya Namaskar B, then moving on to some other traditionally

My word of the year for 2020 is CONSISTENCY because I’m looking to show up more regularly for my own wellbeing and to work toward an even better everyday life this year. Part
In this post I’ll get super geeky about active vs. passive flexibility, why you should care about flexibility, and how each one can benefit your yoga practice. What is flexibility? Flexibility is the range of motion (ROM) available at a joint. If you are very flexible you will have a larger range of motion in your
You’ve been practicing for a number of months or years. Perhaps you’re still practicing in the same way you did when you set out on your yoga journey. The poses that were once challenging you are starting to become easier. Maybe it’s even starting to feel a little boring to practice, it’s becoming harder to stay
Are you considering signing up for a yoga teacher training? Maybe you’re finding yourself overwhelmed from the sheer amount of teacher training offerings out there and don’t know how to choose? If that’s how you feel I can assure you, you’re not alone. But I’m hoping this blog post will help you on your way to making
I’ve recently rediscovered my love for my yoga self-practice again! My yoga practice suffered for the past 3-4 months. Uni work, lectures, exams, time spent with friends & family, and teaching multiple yoga classes a week ultimately took over the majority of my time and energy. At the end of the day, the desire to practice on
I started my own regular home yoga practice back in January 2017. My relationship with my yoga self-practice has changed a lot during those 2,5 years of practice. At times my yoga self-practice has added such a rewarding and fulfilling feeling to my life. At other times it has been something I did out of a feeling of guilt
Starting a home yoga practice for myself is one of the best decisions of my life.

Do you feel overwhelmed trying to find out which type of yoga is right for you? I know I did when I first started looking at the huge amount of different types of yoga classes to attend. There are so many types of yoga to choose from and new ones seem to pop up every day. I’ve

It can be super hard to navigate life as a brand new yoga teacher. There’s nothing to do about it than dive into it and giving it ones best shot! …and get used to the thought that you’re not going to be the world champion of teaching the first many times you do it. After my first
