Joy

Joy said the Angels today 

and it was a totally right word for the day

I went to the doctor today and he removed the stitches and the bandage of the foot

and it is looking good

I need to start doing some stretches for the foot, the ankle and the toes 

and I can rest the foot an the floor carefully and without leaning

so I dit work a bit with the feet in todays yoga

The cat is ready

A few stretches

Today I did few stretches, well needed for my back and legs

now when I am starting to walk around all skewed, I would say that it is a bit like a

 duck walk:)

I have a special shoe so I cant  walk on the forefoot, carefully moving around a bit  

I meditated for fifteen minuts 

and then stared with perfect stretches for the back and legs

in the company of our wonderful cat 

she always join me in my yoga 

 Umh so nice for my back 

 and sides 

 great for the inner thigh 

 stretching the feet upwards is good for the blood circulation  

 the shoulder stand 

I am thankful for yoga

my own tool for wellness

Thank you for stopping by

The Headstand

The Head Stand is often called the King of yoga postures 

a great posture that;

stimulates the whole body

improves the sight and the hearing 

helps female disorders and poor circulation 

relieves colds and constipation 

reliving headaches and migraines 

improves the memory, the concentration and intellectual capacity

strengthen self confidence  

Be careful if you have an extremely low or high blood pressure

problems with the retina or other eye deceases or infected ears

Here is a easy way to do it. 

If you are not sure about your balance

be careful and ask somebody to help you by grabbing your feet 

or stand against a wall to support your legs or back

Stand on a thick and firm mat or a carpet

don´t use a pillow or a cushion, it will make the balance difficult

Be careful and do the headstand on your one risk

Put the top off the head on the mat with the cup of your hands around the back off the head

place the elbows firmly on the floor

and work your way up as the pictures shows 

My foot is getting better and better:)

It will be great when I can start moving around again 

Thank you for stopping by

and have a great day

Yoga with my left food

And I that thought I couldn't do yoga because of my operation for my Hallux Valgus 

 of course I can:)

So here I am with a few simple stretches done today 

everyone can do these<3 

A good stretch for the back and the legs

repeat on both sides  

a fantastic stretch for the thighs and the hips

both sides 

the butterfly for the thighs, hips and groins 

effective stretches for the sides 

of course to repeat on both sides :)

the spinal twist 

 the meditation 

and then the relaxation for the foot 

and some blogging :)

I have been a very good girl and given the foot 

and the body the relaxation that is needed for the recovery, 

lying in my sofa with the foot high

and I can fell that the recovery is going very well

it is much less pain and I can move the toes a bit:) 

Thank you for stopping by

Life in balance

It is important to work with our balance

it helps keep our muscles aligned and keeps us from using our muscles in a wrong way 

With balance comes concentration and focus

When we do our balance postures we need to by very focused and concentrated 

In the standing postures keep your eyes fixed one a spot in front of you

and hold your gaze steady.

A few postures that are good for the balance

The Dancer 

The Tree

The Headstand

Thread the needle 

Have great day

Happy New Year

Hi all my dear yoga friends 

Forgive my for how long time it has been since I have posted a post on this blog

I hope your are all still with me:)

I have missed it but I just din´t have the time or energy the last weeks.

But you know you can always go to the older posts 

for inspiration for your yoga practice 

But now I hope that I will find more time for my dear blog

I usually have more time this time of the year

The yoga classes will unfortunately start a bit later this term then usually 

because I have had a little operation on my left foot

the operation went well and I hope that I will recover fast and well:)

Until then I have a special shoe to wear or jump on my right foot:)

I have not taking so much time for my yoga or mediation practice as I would have liked to do for the last few weeks, but now I will have time for my meditation, but I will have to wait with the yoga until my food have healed.

I was in New York for Christmas and I had hoped to find a yoga studio to go to but the one I found was closed for the Holidays, better luck next time

But I did some yoga with my dear yoga sisters in Iceland over New Years

and that was just wonderful

They are such a fantastic yoga teachers

we did some yoga sitting on a chair, so well prepared and effective, 

what a great idea :)

I can still feel the delight in the surprise and effectivity of it 

How has your yoga been?

I haven´t taken a Angels Card for a long time either

but today they said Harmony

I hope you find Harmony in your life

and in the things you do

Thank you for stopping by

and I will be back soon, I promise<3

Jai Bhagwan
