The Yogic Advent Calendar
A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to live together with my close friend Robyn Banaki and apart from many other things December became the most magical time with her. We would push loving kindness to the limit, treat each other with little surprises, create rhymes out of our advent calendars and drink literally litres of tea together laughing under our kitchen table.
Inspired by that feeling of acting selflessly and making someone else’s day just that little bit more special I created a Yogic Advent Calendar for December 2017 free of charge for everyone! It’s a collection of easy, accessible and soothing poses – the little kindness you can give yourself every day until Christmas.
The only thing you have to do is following me on instagram, facebook or check my website for daily advent asana!
Use #jkadvent2017 and tag me for sharing your pictures of the poses on instagram and facebook, if you like!
With Love,
Julia
11.12.2017 Brätt mit verchehrte Händ - Plank with flipped hands - Phalakasana
Are you planking? Next time you get into that situation, try this: bring your heels together and pull your legs towards each other, suck that activation of your inner thighs all the way up into your core and let it travel up through the centre line of your spine. Now flip your hand palms so your wrists are facing forward and not only get an additional stretch in your forearms, but also sense an opening of your collarbone area and observe the shift of engagement in your stomach. Can you open up when faced with intensity? Can you lengthen despite the natural compactness of the pose? How can you take what you learn in your practice into your daily life?
Machsch regelmässig s Brätt? S nächscht Mal wenn i die Situation ine chunsch probier s folgende: Nimm d Färse zäme und ziehn d Bei zäme, suug d Aktivierig vo de innere Oberschänkelmuskulatur bis i d Körpermitti ufe und lass sie dur d Mittellinie vo de Wiirbelsüüli ganz ufe flüsse. Jetzt chehr d Handflächene, sodass d Finger zu de Füess zeiged zum einersiits en Dehnig i de Unterarme z haa und anderersiits en Öffnig i de Schlüsselbeigägend, beobacht wie sich d Muskelaktivierig im Buuch verschiebt. Chasch Du Dich öffne obwohl mit Intensität konfrontiert bisch? Chasch Du Verlängerig gspüüre trotz de natürliche Kompaktheit vo dere Position? Wie chasch Du das, wo Du während em Praktiziere lernsch, in Alltag mitnäh?
