All done. Today, I did a rather short last round of yoga which will be complemented tomorrow morning if I can lift myself out of bed before the June Bug awakens on the German labor day. But, here is my challenge recap: I did do yoga every single day of April. More and longer during […]

Today, despite getting much done, I feel like I have been slacking all day. My grandma was here to play with the June Bug and so I did this here and that there to get started on some stuff and finish some other. Now, my brain is in sleep mode, but I have been keeping […]

When entering a challenge, a task, a journey, or similar, you do so with a theme. There is no choice for you to do this and most people do not even know that there is a theme, but there is. It’s because we all carry things with us that subconsciously “keep us busy” – they […]

Namasté! (Had to quickly add this to my dictionary in Google Chrome – would have though the people at Google were cooler than that.) I would really like to just gloat over how good a mother I feel to be today, but I will instead focus on the awesome practice I got out of it. […]

Things you learn when you do yoga: – Savasana is a great pose for breathing exercises when lying next to a toddler who is unwilling to sleep otherwise – Kapalabhati is not tolerated by said toddler (and I imagine Basthrika isn’t either) – “watching” your breath for longer than a minute gives you deeper insight […]

Awfully soon to write about surrender considering we are only three days into the challenge? Actually, I find that the yoga challenge is ALL about surrender. For 30 days straight, you surrender yourself to this idea of bringing or keeping yourself in a healthy, relaxed, cool state. You let your favorite TV show be, you […]

Mindful yoga. As – yet again – I have not managed to do yoga today, I am going to do some right now in my head. How to do that? Well, you could imagine it like this: Think of the best yoga moments you have ever had. Then, put them together in a sequence and […]

I have a problem: yoga seems to have fallen way low on my priority list. The last two days my practice consisted of next to nothing. I shouldn’t have to say that Lily has part in that. That’s clear. But how come that I don’t get my buttocks up when she’s asleep? Or do the […]

After I missed posting for the last couple of days, I am going to now use Lily’s first nap of the day to post about my practice these past days. I am proud to be able to say I haven’t missed a day yet! Which also tells me how important it is to be in […]
