 Do you get confused tryna understand how does Yoga Alliance work? Why Yoga Alliance and what will you find in each SoHA program?

Every year I get students ask me these questions over and over as its unclear what to expect of each program and how it works. Let's break it down :)

A 200hr Yoga Training is the foundational training and the first one to take. You may have taken a couple of classes or workshops, yet if you truly want to deepen on this path and bring the true benefits of yoga into your life, then this is the way. You will find a great cocktail of the main yogic teachings as well as all the tools that will help you transform your life into the lifestyle that you are craving. This will most likely mark a before and after event in your life that will stay in your heart forever.

A 300hr Yoga Training is then a continuation of these studies and becomes a lot more specialized in different topics depending on your interests. Many schools teach this intensively. SoHA...

Hi beautiful yogis!

If you're getting stuck in coming up with new ideas for your yoga classes or you are getting short on themes, and you want to get some extra inspiration or a little nudge, then this snippet might guide you in the right direction. 

I’ve taught all kinds of classes over the years, daily classes, festival classes, zoom classes, training classes, webinars, etc. And to be honest, I keep coming back to very popular themes that everyone likes and feels identified with.

However, what makes a class irresistible, is the attention to details that you deliver, and how much presence you offer. This can be felt if the whole class theme encompasses an homogenous experience in itself. For this I always make sure to add different tools into the practice that add to the experience.

In this episode I speak about the essential elements that need to be in harmony to make your yoga classes irresistible. If it's happening online, or in-person, in a festival, small or big...

 Heres a little snippet of our Kidneys and what they like. How to know if your kidneys are depleted, what to do to treat them, and which poses to work with for kidney regeneration and rebalance!

These beautiful and filtering organs are the energy givers of our systems. It is because we have kidneys, that the waters of our body are maintained clear and all other systems function properly. 

To best treat them we must learn to sleep early (9pm), drink enough water, eat healthy and living foods, exercise properly, and most importantly take care of your energy leakage.

Dive into the video so you find out which 3 things take up most of your energy, and how you can help your kidneys regain strength and vitality!

Enjoy, and bless the waters of your life! Om!

Music has been my grounding soil these past few weeks. Sounds of the Universe tune into our deepest body threads. Like instruments of divine flow we play the notes that resonate, flow, and crystallize our most truthful essence. We breathe, we cleanse, we sing, we cry, we sigh, we walk on this same Earth. We all breathe the same air, yet our exhales are unique.

Tuning in, tuning out, and retuning to the vibrations of what unfolds in our moment to moment manifest station. Seeking freedom from pain, life humbles us. We slip, we fall, we become resilient.... How elegantly can we make a dissonant chord sound divine in the perfection of this life song. How fast can we receive a dissonant fall into a perfectly necessary dent to taste the glory of the next sunny major tone.

Here I share a little song I like to share when offering to divine femenine energy. You can learn it easily to share it with your students or your loved ones! 

Enjoy!

Work Life Balance: How to Balance life as a Working Mom!

I get this question a lot when people see my videos and then learn I'm a mom... but how do you do it?

Most likely what you see in my videos is probably the 5th time I recorded the thing and my boy wasn't jumping on me or pulling on my shirt.

Rather than getting frustrated, (which I totally did in the beginning) I realized involving him in the training makes life so much happier for everyone.

He becomes a part of what we do. And we have more fun whilst we do it. If he comes and hops on me when I'm practicing I use his weight for moving smarter and it ends up being a fun challenge for both.

Im curious:
How do you involve your kids with your work?

The more we share the more inspiration we get to raise these little bundles of light.

2. Explosive Tuck Ups - Tuck Jump Explosively to the Sky. Kick up with force to the sky, this will train your forearms to hold your ground and hold your vertical line. Optional to use a wall or without it!
