Do you have those days when you know, that moving a little on your mat would do you a world of good, but still it is damn hard to get on the mat? I do. On those days, I get on the mat anyway, but first I just lay on my back, roll around a bit, start breathing more deeply and do some very basic and simple exercises that get the energy moving. First I give myself permission to feel whatever I'm feeling, no obligations or pressure for it to be something different. More often than not, starting out in this manner - moving WITH whatever is present - my practice shapes me from feeling stuck into an effortless flow, often keeping me on the mat and moving much longer than I intended. Without force, pressure, expectation or agenda. I'm sharing one of those practices here with you

This too is part of the wedding gift video series I did for my best friend in Australia. Vinyasa Flow has been "our" practice, we would often practice together in the mornings in gorgeous natural settings that Australia is so abundant in providing. So again, the friendly tone of the practice is carried by my memories of my yogic life in Australia. I'm happy to share that vibe with you and hopefully the soulshine that Australia graced me with will transport through space and time to brighten up your day. 

Enjoy this practice any time that suits you, though it would be a perfect flowing connecting way to start your day in the morning. It will move your spine, open the hips and get you in your groove! 

A shorter practice, mainly focused on opening the upper body and shoulders, sprinkled with some twists for spine, lunges for hips and back strengtheners. A wholesome "feel good practice" with a mellow pace to bring in ease, fluidity and vitality. ENJOY!!
