I am sharing with you a 20-min yoga sequence, which you can do if you have limited time or even post cardio workout.
As you can see, I have just been back from a run and here are some stretching exercises which you can do if you still have a bit of energy left.
I am giving you options in this video, so it should be ok to do for everyone. Of course if you are more experienced, you can try to do the more advanced yoga inversions.
Enjoy!
Following my review of yoga mats, I have been testing a few yoga bags and would like to introduce them to you:
Dzaino
This is one of my favourite yoga bags at the moment. The bag has perfect width so you don’t have to worry about getting your yoga mat in and out of the bag.
The quality of the material is just amazing! The outside material is denim (post-consumer-waste) and the inside lining is made of organic cotton. It says it is handwash only, but I had it in the washing machine and it seemed fine!
Yogamatbag No. 62: currently out of stock
Vioyoga
Another yoga bag I really like is from Vioyoga. This bag is perfect for the summer with its tropical design. Stylish and useful at the same time.
You close the bag with a drawstring and it also has an adjustable shoulder strap.
It is made of 100% cotton and produced by people with disabilities in the “Bonner Werkstätten”.
Bakchich baba
This bag is slightly different to other yoga bags; it is more like a normal handbag but it has a very useful front pocket where you can put a yoga mat inside.
The actual bag is really big, so you can fit quite a lot of other items in it too.
Black yoga bag: 35,00 €
In my new YouTube video, I am showing you 8 yoga asanas which you can do when menstruating.
You might feel low in energy, or you might have extreme pain, your mood changes, you feel tired, bloated, or you just want to stay in bed for the first few days of your period. This is what all women have to deal with.
This is an important time for women to listen to our bodies, to reconnect, feel grounded and relaxed.
If you do want to do some yoga though, you should avoid strong asanas particularly strong backbends, twists, arm balances, standing positions that put a lot of stress on the abdominal and pelvic region and inversions, because they are against the natural flow and this is why it is so controversial.
Gentle forward bends are nice as they give a light massage to the abdominal and pelvic region
and bring calmness to the mind.
Pranayama, breathing techniques are very useful during menstruation, yoga nidra and meditation. They help to feel more grounded and helps to calm the mind.
I hope you enjoy this yoga sequence.
Namaste,
Zeynep
I am sharing with you a very simple 10 minutes guided meditation. You will soon figure out that meditation is easy and everyone can do it.
All you need is a comfortable seated position, a quiet spot and then we will begin to focus on the breath. We turn our focus inward, being full present as we observe our inhalation and exhalation.
I hope you will enjoy this 10 minutes of meditation with me. Let me know how you get on.
Namaste,
Zeynep
Are you a runner? If yes, do you stretch after your workout?
Now, I have got exciting news for you, as I have filmed a 20 min yoga sequence for all my running friends and those who love to do cardio training.
This little stretching sequence is mainly targeting the hips, hamstrings and quads. Ideally you do this yoga sequence AFTER your CARDIO training.
Enjoy!
I am thrilled to show you my final ABS WORKOUT, including 10 intense core exercises.
This is a special one, as I have filmed this video during my holiday. I hope you enjoy all the exercises, again they are based on yoga, gymnastics, calistenics and pilates.
If you cannot do all the exercises, you can of course do a modified version or if you are really really struggling, just skip the exercise and move on to the next workout.
