• Grounding •
To be grounded is to feel solid, strong, and well-balanced, in body and in mind.
Grounding is the practice of connecting your body to the earth's natural energy by walking barefoot on the ground. It's a way to recharge your body and mind with the earth's natural energy and bring yourself back to a more balanced state.

Happy International Yoga Day!
Today, I'm so grateful for the practice of yoga and the way it has transformed my life.
King pigeon pose, or Raja Kapotasana, is one of my favorite postures because it opens up the heart and helps me connect with my inner strength and resilience.
As a yogi, I'm constantly learning and growing, and I'm so thankful for the community of practitioners who inspire and support me along the way.
Namaste 🙏🏼

What do you do when feeling down?
Go to the top of a hill or a mountain in Iceland and do yoga.

• Badhakonasana •
(aka Butterfly Pose)
Benefits:
- A good stretch for the inner thighs, groins and knees, improving flexibility in the groin and hip region
- Helps in intestine and bowel movement
- Removes fatigue from long hours of standing and walking
- Offers relief from menstrual discomfort and menopause symptoms
- Helps in smooth delivery if practiced regularly until late pregnancy
Contraindications:
If you are suffering from groin or knee injury, make sure you keep a blanket under the outer thighs for support. Do not perform this pose without blanket support. Also, sciatica patients should either completely avoid the pose or sit on a cushion to raise the hips. If you have any lower-back disorders, do the posture only while keeping the spine erect. Avoid rounding up the spine by bending forward.

To me, yoga is called ‘My Time’.
It’s the time of the day when I can leave everything behind and being oneself.
I would pamper myself with full of care and love.
What does YOGA mean in your opinion?
I would love to hear 💗🙏🏼

Me trying to master the Dancer pose is a long story.
It seems easier in Bali than in Iceland 😜
Practising Yoga outdoors was a bit warmer in Bali than in Iceland 😆
