Yoga is not only the perfection you see online

I haven’t done yoga for three months and, oh my, did I need it! Today this beautiful sunny day drove me to the mat again. And since I don't believe in going backwards, I started exactly where I left off. It was really hard, but extremely rewarding.

This is a short version of the yoga routine that I do most often: I decided to post it double speed, but no cuts, with all the fumbles and tumbles, because yoga for the majority of us it is not like what you see on Instagram, it’s not made of a perfect body and impossible positions 😉 But at any level it is strength, balance and mindfulness. Three things I want more of in my life, physically and mentally.
