If there is one thing that has been making me happy lately, it is to read that calmer, gentler physical activities are becoming more popular. Among the calmest in the calm yoga styles, we have the restorative and yin yoga. Although sometimes you see these terms used almost interchangeably, they are two different styles. Read below to learn how restorative and yin yoga differ and what are their…

Gratitude: The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. (The Oxford Dictionary) Gratitude has become a bit of a buzz word over the last few years. Walk into any self-respecting stationary shop and you will find at least one (if not ten) Gratitude Journals on its shelves.

Long Reads for Holidays

December 16, 2018

The end of the year holidays are a good opportunity to slow down and catch up with some long reads. I have a habit of bookmarking all the interesting articles I come across, especially if they are related to the business and trends in wellness and yoga. Some of these articles I read when sitting in the bus or train I always have some unread ones stored away.…

It is a season of high expectations, self-inflicted pressure, being surround by more than usual amounts of stuff everywhere and various parties.

Stuff That Yoga Teachers Say

September 21, 2018

Yoga terminology can be very confusing. Hand up who does not remember being new to a yoga class and at least some point wondering what on earth the teacher is talking about? As September is kind of like January when it comes to “new life, new hobbies” mindset, I thought it would be a good idea to run through few of the most common words, phrases and wordings…

OM So Hum – Mantra

September 11, 2018

Those of you who have been to my classes over the past few weeks might remember the Om So Hum – Mantra from the beginning and end of the classes. With some of you I talked briefly about the message of this mantra but I wanted to share it more widely here in the blog too. First things first though, what is a “mantra”?

Lets Talk About Hands On Adjustments

August 9, 2018

When I started doing yoga more regularly about 12 years ago I never gave any thought to hands on adjustments. I don’t have any clear recollection to be 100% sure but I guess it is largely because in the classes I attended there were hardly any.

Treat Yourself to Restorative Yoga

July 26, 2018

Restorative yoga is a relaxing and mellow type of yoga with the aim of, well, restoring the body and the mind. It complements perfectly more dynamic type of asana practises and is also very suitable for complete yoga novices. A typical restorative yoga sequence has very few poses. Depending on the length of the class the sequence has 2-6 asanas. Props such as blocks, bricks, bolsters, blankets and…

Have You Tried SUP Yoga Yet?

June 15, 2018

Cyprus is the perfect place for weddings, wind(surfing), occasionally waves AND for SUP Yoga! I am currently on the Island for all of the above and will be teaching two more SUP Yoga classes this Saturday and Sunday at WindsurfCity Cyprus in Makenzy Beach, Larnaca. So what happens on a SUP Yoga class? In all honestly I prefer calling SUP Yoga as “yoga inspired” class rather than a…
