Ayurveda
As you’ve probably already read, I started an Ayurveda Coach training program—simply out of pure interest. I find it fascinating how this philosophy views health and the individual as a whole. For those who have never encountered this topic, here’s a little introduction to what it’s all about.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a calm and meditative form of yoga that focuses on holding poses for extended periods—typically between three to five minutes. Unlike dynamic yoga styles that emphasize muscle strength and movement, Yin Yoga aims to stretch and stimulate the connective tissues, joints, and fascia. This practice not only promotes physical flexibility but also encourages mental relaxation.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the conscious awareness of the present moment without judgment. It comes from the Buddhist tradition, but it has also gained significance in Western psychology and therapy. Mindfulness means being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations and accepting them without distractions or judgments. It’s about fully experiencing the present moment, rather than dwelling on thoughts about the past or the future. The practice of mindfulness has numerous benefits for both body and mind. Studies show that mindfulness can reduce stress, strengthen emotional resilience, and improve overall quality of life.
