Go to any yoga class and you will see that among the adherents of the yogic system there are only women. After the Manolo Blahnik boutique, all the heroines of the cult series run to yoga. The Internet, specialized newspapers and magazines, conversations of girlfriends, even citations in Yandex testify: yoga is in the top among the most fashionable attributes of the life of a progressive city dweller. According to some estimates, the age of yoga is up to 5000 years, and the fashion for it captured the minds of European fashionistas several decades ago.

What does a woman want?
First, everyone comes for health and beauty. Girls come to lose weight. Of course, yoga is not aerobic shaping, which allows you to achieve visible results in short time, but this is a system that in the long run brings even more results. They say that with practice, you can learn to regulate hormonal levels and endocrine imbalances. weight loss, except physical activity, contribute to the psychological attitudes associated with the practice, for example, gradually yoginis can learn to distinguish real hunger from "false". The initial motivation is different, but after the first classes, many note that yoga seems to be “specially created” for them. Softness, flexibility, sensitivity, demanded in yoga, are inherent in female nature, and beginners do not have to break and overcome themselves in the pursuit of strength records. In the classroom, sports competition and the spirit of rivalry are excluded. The practice is individual in nature, ideally a connection is established between the student and the teacher. Even if the classes take place in a group, each student makes very personal conclusions and emotions from there. Such intimacy of experiences produces an irresistible effect on girls. Uncovering one's own nature rather than overcoming it is one of the benefits of yoga. Exercises improve blood circulation, develop internal and external balance and grace, and contribute to the development of a proportional figure. Yoga does not refer to rough corrective measures, it reveals what is given by nature, gently polishing the pros and cons. As a result, women who are used to trying on other people's standards every day suddenly listen to their own "I". Everyone can practice yoga, without restrictions on age, religion, and even more so gender. Everyone needs a healthy body and soul, the will to a healthy and quality life opens up the potential of yoga, which works with the whole body in a complex, and it immediately meaningfully directs the energy released by sports into the desired creative direction.

Yoga and cycle
Menstruation is a time for relaxation, not only in yoga. The first two or three days of menstruation, the yogi should not engage in physical practices at all. Further, if a woman wants, the teacher prescribes a special program for her, which is aimed at cleansing the body, relieving pain, opening the pelvic organs. Inverted postures, tension of the abdominal muscles, closed twists, backbends from the floor, jumps and complex balances are prohibited. On the contrary, shallow inclinations are recommended, practices in the prone positionwithout tension of the abdominal muscles, light backbends and meditation. After the end of the "critical days" and before ovulation, any practice is welcome. This is the time to jump in and expand your yogic experience. But then comes ovulation and PMS. Premenstrual syndrome is the cause of various pains, weakness, drowsiness or, conversely, irritability, insomnia. It is good for someone to do backbends during this period, revealing chest, twisting is good for someone, sometimes you need to do restorative posesit all depends on how specificthe woman suffers the syndrome. Emotional stress before menstruation is associated with a strong rotation of hormones, which means that exercises should not excite endocrine system, it is better to remove power training and focus on breathing.

Yoga and pregnancy
Pregnancy is often the primary reason for resorting to this practice, which is recommended by quite traditional gynecologists and obstetricians in preparation for childbirth. There are two opinions: some say that an unprepared pregnant woman should not be included in yoga, at least abruptly and in the first trimester; other trainers believe that the lack of yogic experience before pregnancy will only be a plus.All nine months of training should not cause overstrain. "Pregnant" asanas are aimed at strengthening pelvic muscles, expanding the pelvic cavity, they promote blood circulation, increase the scope for fetal movement, flexibility, endurance and coordination. Classes can reduce ailments and toxicosis, avoid swelling and cramps, strengthen the spine, which bears a heavy load. good stretch that exercise develops prevents tears. Breathing exercises, or pranayama, will help you cope with stress and stay calm and focused during childbirth. Special exercises improve blood supply to the fetus and mother, relieve pain directly during childbirth and help avoid hypoxia in the child.However, yoga cannot be considered simply an effective tool for combating the “side” effects of the pregnancy period, such as excess weight or, for example, lower back pain, swelling and tired legs. It is important to understand the main circumstance: during pregnancy, a woman does not solve her own tasks, her concern is the health of the unborn child, his comfort in the prenatal period, the absence of threats during childbirth. AND sports uniforms future mother in this period plays far from the most important role. Therefore, in the classroom, much attention is paid to psychological preparation mothers, feelings of security, fearlessness, love and readiness for the new are cultivated. Compared to these global goals, the physical practices of hatha yoga, such as the study and perfection of the body, fade into the background.

Sagi Ermolaeva, yoga instructor at Ashtanga Yoga Center:

Women's yoga - meaningful, but not authentic
In India and, accordingly, in Indian yogic practice, it is believed that a woman's teacher is her husband. Yoga is given to a woman as a tool for creating conditions in the family - well-being, a mild emotional climate, balance, healthy and tasty nutrition, sexual harmony, reproduction. Western society is less traditional, however, in our world, a woman, as a rule, is the first to be interested in systems healthy lifestyle life, the first begins to monitor the nutrition, well-being of the household. This is her feminine wisdom, and the role prescribed by nature. Women's yoga opens the feminine creative principle. Certainly, female practice differs from the male due to the fact that women have childbearing function and menstruation. I got into yoga myself when I discovered I was pregnant. Or rather, she discovered that she was pregnant and decided to continue the practice she had barely begun, because she heard that she was good for preparing for childbirth. All 9 months I practiced yoga, gave birth in yoga. And so it happened. As with my students, I was undergoing an obvious transformation. At first I worked physical training Then something changed in other aspects of life. Well, in general, it cannot be said that yoga is more suitable for women than for men. Yogic practice is beneficial to everyone equally. There are many asanas in yoga and they are the same for men and women, only their set can change depending on certain circumstances. But there is another side. I really observe an increased interest in yoga on the part of women, and since this is the case, it is obviously better and more correct to address the female audience separately: there are more chances that words and instructions will be heard and perceived, and classes will bring greater effect. I consider women's yoga to be a clever, but primarily opportunistic term.

Which school to choose?
There are many schools, they differ in what kind of practice, “steps” the emphasis is on. In the non-Hindu world, the term is usually associated with hatha yoga, which begins the path of improvement and harmonization with work on the physical beginning (unlike, for example, raja yoga, which seeks to curb and control the mind from the very beginning).

Is it possible to practice yoga without being a Buddhist?
Yoga is not a religion. Although it was formed within the framework of Eastern religions, it is a system of behavioral and psychological norms and techniques that lead to a more balanced quality of life. The ethical standards adopted in yoga in no way contradict universal morality.

What is "yoga"?
Yoga is one of the traditional Indian philosophical and worldview systems. The term comes from the Sanskrit "yoj" - "team", "connection", "harmony". Yoga establishes the right connections between the body and nervous system, nervous system and intellect, intellect and will, will and consciousness, consciousness and conscience, conscience and "I", "I" and the world. Thus, yoga is a way to achieve absolute consciousness.Small uniform loads and constant stretching, work with breathing and blood circulation help the skin maintain elasticity and firmness. Yogic dietary practices are aimed at cleansing the body. As a result, the face and body get rid of sagging and swelling. Unpleasant sharp mimic wrinkles, traces of stress are smoothed out when gaining inner confidence, goodwill and peace. The main differences of women's yoga are special practices related to reproductive function and sexuality.

Women's yoga - the way to yourself
I started practicing yoga in October 2000. During the practice, my character changed in better side: I became calmer, learned to feel, listen to my feelings, follow my intuition and trust myself. The understanding came that I needed classes like air. In 2003, I became the mother of little Eva. Then my formation as a woman began, and yoga opened up for me in a new light - at the level of understanding and awareness of internal processes that concern not only the body, but also the mind. In 2004, the Yoginya.ru project was born, I began to teach yoga for women. It is known that the practice of yoga reveals the potential of a person. To discover and use her potential, a woman needs to feel her feminine power and with its help to build up all the other qualities, then she will be able to open up to the world, love and be happy. Yoga practice for women should be based on feeling, and not on achieving an external goal, for example, sit in a split or stand on your head, or hold a pose for exactly 1.5 minutes. When fixing a pose, we should enjoy every second of working in it and come out of it, following our inner feeling. This should happen gracefully, smoothly, sensually and, most importantly, easily! And this happiness is to feel your way! This is the main idea on which we build our practice. From my own experience, I know that classes in a general group do not allow touching on many issues that are relevant for women. Of course, the answers to these questions are contained in the specialized literature. The practitioner, of course, will turn to her, but after a while, during which mistakes can be made that can harm women's health. We, on the other hand, appreciate the opportunity to openly discuss specific moments of practice in the classroom that are directly related to female nature, and we learn to overcome them with a smile. For example, I know which asanas have a beneficial effect on the female genital area, which improve the condition of the skin and hair, which correct the line of the waist and hips, which should be done in the premenstrual period and which should not, we know how to help ourselves survive an emotionally unstable state in critical days, with the help of which exercises you can relieve pain in the lower back, back, abdomen.

What are the health restrictions?
Contraindications: hypertension, epilepsy, congenital heart disease, cholelithiasis, alcohol or drug intoxication, the period of taking tranquilizers, antidepressants. Tell your instructor if you have experienced dizziness, fainting, high or low blood pressure, recent serious injury, cardiovascular disease, depression, mental stress, asthma.it all depends on how a particular woman tolerates the syndrome. Emotional stress before menstruation is associated with a strong rotation of hormones, which means that exercises should not excite the endocrine system, it is better to remove strength training and pay maximum attention to breathing.

Namaste, my dears. As you know, yoga is a spiritual practice - a practice of self-development aimed at enlightenment, through work with the body. Yoga was created by men and for men. There were times when women were strictly forbidden not only to practice yoga, but even to approach the places of practice.

Nowadays, the main teachers and "gurus" of yoga, authors of books and courses, trainers and mentors of yoga, are also men. And my first teachers were men. Having been practicing yoga for more than 12 years, I came to the conclusion that women should not practice on an equal footing with the stronger sex and with the same load, sometimes it is even contraindicated. Women should have their own program. The most acceptable is women's yoga. I'll explain why:

Did female yoga take into account the hormonal background?

Firstly, although we are all Souls from the very beginning, someone is born in a female body, and someone is born in a male one. And this is no coincidence. No matter how hard you try, you will be limited by the capabilities of your body. A man will never become a mother, although films about this already exist. We have hormones. The hormonal background of a man and a woman is different, the energy, respectively, is also different - this is taken into account by female yoga. The menstrual cycle is the fundamental difference between a woman and a man. In men, this is not so expressed physiologically. yoga practice for women during this period is even necessary to relieve tension, soreness, fatigue. But it must be performed very correctly, since some yoga asanas during this period, instead of benefit, can cause harm. Women's yoga temporarily excludes "harmful asanas".

Secondly, in psychology there are 2 models of life: linear and wave. In men, consciousness is more linear, in women it is more undulating. Both have their own goals, but they go to them in different ways. The system of hatha - yoga - it is linear, correct, consistent. But a woman's existence is different. Practice in women at some point is "non-practice." And it happens to be right. Women's yoga takes and this approach of women, without compromising results.

Female physiology - our secrets

Menstruation - bleeding begins, and on the 3rd - 4th day, spring begins in women. The pituitary gland begins to stimulate the ovaries and follicle-stimulating channels. The follicles begin to mature, and as they are produced, more and more hormones - estrogens - begin to be produced in them. These are the hormones of the 1st phase of the cycle, and the more estrogen, the more attractive a woman becomes. It is not constant, not linear. You can't always play at the same level, it doesn't happen that way. You can't always make such high demands on yourself. And trying to be always on the level is a masculine approach. It's normal for your sex appeal and beauty to change throughout your cycle. Ovulation is the most important event in a woman's life. When hormones rise: skin, hair, eyes shine, laughter is more expressive, estrogens give some frivolity. Even shopping in the 1st phase of the cycle is different from the 2nd.

Women's yoga and the "virus" of modern life

Tell me, does the modern standard of living support a wave structure? Or makes it always be the same, that is, unchanged? Who needs a woman with these incomprehensible states of hers? It is very convenient to communicate with a linear person, whose behavior is always predictable. You always know what to expect from him. And it is convenient for us to fit into life with linear behavior. But this is wrong from the point of view of hormones, from the point of view of physiology, from the point of view of psychology. Psychologically, we level this wave and become more and more men. We want romance, but where can we get it if we ourselves become so unfeminine? Conclusion: it is important to understand, accept and track this idea as much as possible. And to express yourself as a woman in all conditions: at home, at work, on vacation, in fitness or the gym. But! Modern fitness- yoga programs are built precisely on linearity. One-two - get the result. Right now, when it is necessary to withstand the load modern life And female yoga needed, with her flexible approach to female "features".

How is women's yoga different from regular yoga?

I was convinced from my own experience that yoga is multifaceted, and every person, man or woman, will find his own tool for self-realization, but for this you need to know what result you want to get. If a woman practices yoga without taking into account all the characteristics of the female body and the female state of consciousness, then what can this lead to? A woman can easily fill up with yang ( male energies), which can lead to the loss of femininity, a kind of “lady-chaturanga” will appear before you. The feminine energy begins to dissipate. And then such women should not be surprised why it becomes difficult for them to attract a courageous man into their lives, or why a redistribution of roles occurs in the family, where the woman is assigned the role of breadwinner and breadwinner of the family.

Again, I repeat, it all depends on the goals that a woman sets for herself. If a woman seeks to be filled with feminine energies, to become sexy, charming and attractive, then women's yoga will help with this you just need to know how to use this tool. And if we talk about the benefits of female yoga in maintaining and preserving the reproductive system, during menstruation, during pregnancy and in postpartum period, during menopause, then the role of female yoga generally difficult to overestimate.

Women's yoga is a panacea?

Based on this position, I dare to say that women are more useful and it is better to practice women's yoga. It is very good if your yoga instructor is a woman, even better if she has a family and children, if, moreover, she is feminine and interesting as a person - we can assume that she has a lot to learn.

For many years I have been looking for my own path, studied with the great yoga masters S. Shivananda, R. Gamethaller, A. Sidersky, A.N. Kuzbashev, A. Zenchenko, A. Pakhomov, including women Kali Ray, Shiva Rea, Gita Iyengar, Francoise Friedman.

In yogic philosophy, a woman and a man are the moon and the sun. They are not the same, and therefore it is obvious that one cannot put an equal sign between them. The practice of yoga is no exception. And, despite the fact that male or female yoga, in fact, does not exist, because it is a whole philosophical system However, the practice still has its own characteristics.

If a woman wants to remain healthy and happy not only at 20-30, but also at 40-60, she must treat her nature with respect and even awe.

As Geeta Iyengar famously once said: “Yoga is a jewel for women!”.

It was the daughters of the famous Guruji Shri B.K.S. Iyengar came up with the idea to train yoga instructors in women's practice as one of the special "directions".

The experience of thousands of the fair sex proves that she is able to cope with many characteristic problems, and with regular and well-structured classes, even avoid their occurrence. In addition, it helps a woman to remain at peace with herself in times of crisis and harmoniously go through the natural cycles of life. After all, at different stages, her needs have different specifics: in adolescence, during pregnancy, during menstruation and in the transition period (before menopause), practice should line up in a strictly defined way.

Yoga helps a woman stay in harmony with herself

Yoga for women. General features

• A man has more of a conscious nature and intelligence, while a woman has more of an intuition and an unconscious nature. That is why most of the famous Yoga Gurus are men.
• The style of female practice is always softer, however, it includes the same and. But, if a girl is insecure and lacks a certain amount of rigidity in Everyday life, the practice should be more rigid and dynamic, with the goal of building muscle and gaining power. Following this, beneficial changes will inevitably occur in her psyche, which will help fight the feeling of insecurity and even infantilism.
• We must not forget that the fair sex is by nature less disciplined and more emotional, so classes sometimes require more self-control and concentration from yoginis.
• If you are going to become a mother in the near future, you should know that there are positions that lead to problems with conception. This phenomenon has a temporary effect, but it is better to refuse them in this period, replacing them with asanas in which the leg is thrown over the head.
• It is noticed that too intensive practice can lead to the disappearance of menstruation. This is an alarming symptom, as it has been proven that cycle failure can cause malignant tumors! Therefore, enter the practice carefully and gradually, especially if you have a significant break in classes.

Practice during menstruation

The general rule of practice during menstruation is as follows: perform only those postures in which you feel comfortable. Menstruation is not a time for overexertion, classes should be quite delicate, and special attention should be paid to asanas that promote rest and recovery.

Active classes can only be afforded by experienced yoginis who feel that such a load is justified for them and not excessive. For beginners, the wrong execution of even a single “aggressive” posture can lead to problems.

Some teachers are of the opinion that during menstruation, the practice of yoga should be completely excluded. But if you do not feel unwell, perhaps you should not take such measures.

During this period, exclude standing postures, during which the legs are noticeably turned in hip joints and the pelvic region is subjected to considerable stretch, deep bends, closed twists, backbends, bandhas (especially Uddiyana bandhu) and inverted postures. The latter are permissible only if the discharge lasts more than 7 days, in otherwise you will interfere with the cleansing of the body and redirect the flow of energy to the head, which negatively affects the body.

Include Shavasana and Sahita pranayama in your classes, and towards the end of your period, standing poses with support. At the end of the first two days of menstruation, continue to practice according to the rules described above, adding inverted poses.

Savasana is very useful for women during menstruation.

If you have noticeable symptoms of PMS, make your practice especially calm, include pranayama, lying asanas, bends and deep relaxation techniques.

Practice during pregnancy and postpartum

During pregnancy, yoga classes should be exclusively individual. In other words, you must constantly listen to your own feelings more than to a teacher, even a very experienced one.

The first trimester is considered the most dangerous for the baby, since miscarriages most often occur during this period. The problem is that many women, not noticing tangible changes in their own appearance, are frivolous about the changes taking place in their body and continue to practice without reducing the load. Meanwhile, during the first trimester, the fetus is fully formed, and, therefore, you need to deal with it as carefully as possible. It is strictly forbidden to perform backbends from a prone position, all power poses, “boat asanas” and exercises in which you experience discomfort.

If you do sitting postures, be sure to use stands, be sure to include asanas in the program to open the pelvis. From the third trimester, all standing poses are recommended to be done with support.

During pregnancy, focus on those exercises that help strengthen pelvic floor and improve the elasticity of the abdominal and pelvic muscles.

Do not forget about twisting, but do only those asanas in which the diaphragm and stomach are not squeezed. In particular, variations of Bharadvajasana and light twisting from. You can read more about practice during pregnancy in the article.

If you have safely given birth to a child, after a few days you can start simple restorative asanas (for example, Shavasana), as well as postures that tone the uterus and Ujaya without delay. After a week, begin to gradually increase the duration of the practice, you can return to full-fledged classes no sooner than after 6 weeks. Yoga for women's health is undoubtedly useful!

Practice during transition and menopause

Women's practice after 35 has its own characteristics. In the premenopausal period, there is not enough estrogen due to the fact that the ovaries are depleted. As a result, the adrenal glands and thyroid gland suffer, excess weight appears, because. fat cells also produce female hormones. These changes in the body provoke apathy, lack of strength and depressive states. Therefore, experienced masters strongly recommend abandoning the power types of yoga and focusing on its balance. During this period, the performance of inverted asanas and bridges is especially useful.

A big thanks to women must be said to the ancient Chinese for Taoist yoga for women. It has the whole bouquet women's issues”, which our contemporaries collect already by the age of 30, whether it be chronic illnesses, a constant lack of strength, mood swings, depression and much more, which we consider the scourge of our time, found their solutions already 4 thousand years ago. In Taoist yoga there are answers to questions not only “how”, but also “why”, and “like never again ...”. We can confidently say that a woman who is engaged in Taoist practices stops losing energy, wasting her energy on empty fuss. Thanks to the exercises of Taoist yoga for women, pain during PMS disappears, mood stabilizes, swelling disappears, the cycle normalizes, skin improves and rejuvenates. The bone marrow, cardiovascular and lymphatic systems are being restored, the work of individual organs is getting better, many practitioners stop taking hormone replacement drugs, and do without "female" surgeries. In the classes, special attention is paid to working with female organs and systems, working with consciousness.

qigong

While a woman is young and healthy, she has a strong qi, her body is hardy, full of opportunities and ardor, there is enough energy for a career and for creating a family. But taking on an unbearable load, doing work, home, children and husband, relatives and friends, she begins to bend and warp. By the age of thirty, it is almost impossible to find a person with healthy spine, and by 40 - without chronic diseases. At the same time, those who practice qigong quickly forget about problems with the spine, knees, neck, joints, gynecological and hormonal problems, as well as “nerves”, headaches and insomnia. Why? At the first stage, qigong perfectly reveals and helps to align and include the body in a single energy exchange. The feet, knees, hips, pelvis, lower back, shoulders, and neck—the main culprits for misalignment, spasms, and faulty movement patterns—are worked out in special complexes. In this way, it is possible to correct movement errors, harmful movement patterns learned in childhood (shoulder misalignment, stoop, etc.). In turn, the corrected body geometry restores the correct circulation of blood, lymph and qi energy, corrects chronic clamps in the lumbar region that are dangerous for women's health, press and pelvic floor. Quite quickly, literally within a few months of regular classes, normal work is restored. internal organs. Especially fast there are changes for the better in the female organs. Qigong practices for women aged 30, 40, 50, 60 significantly improve the quality of life, increase the amount of energy, increase attractiveness, help find harmony and significantly slow down the aging process.

There are no age or health restrictions for qigong, you can start at 16 or 76.

Latin American yoga

A modern woman is a tangled, torn and doubting creature who strives to do everything, to please everyone, to be an ideal wife, a good mother, an excellent employee, a true friend and a long list. But can she still be herself? Spinning around and trying to fit in, a modern woman first of all loses energy, which she has nowhere to take, because she “should” be around – fit, look, like, etc. etc. Where do you get the energy for this? The invaluable experience of Latin American yoga lies precisely in the fact that these are slow, soft, very feminine practices that allow a woman to immediately, without additional explanations and preparation, solve the most important problem - filling with energy. Latin American passes are performed sitting or lying down, do not require special physical effort, but are entirely designed to activate the sacral center (womb). Simple exercises relieve tension from muscles, tendons and bones, restore the natural female rhythm associated with the phases of the moon. Even the first few sessions will help a woman regain strength and perceive the world in volume and integrity, restore the brightness of sensations - as in childhood.

african yoga

In Africa, where humanity originated, the most important knowledge about our body and about the place of man in the universe is still preserved in their primary quality. These are not lyrics, not songs, these are actions, these are dances. These are rhythms, these are the most ancient sequences of movements, these are practices of "fitting" oneself into the Macrocosm, connecting one's energy with the world. Now they are called African yoga.

Simple movements, bright incendiary rhythms, a captivating instructor - and we find our center and begin to build our body from it. And then, as we advance in practice, we completely imperceptibly do a grandiose work - a deep synchronization of our inner rhythm and the rhythm of the Universe.

If you are constantly tired, do not feel successful, healthy, happy, you have chronic illnesses or persistent reasons for sadness, then you may simply have fallen out of the rhythm of the world. African yoga is one of simple ways return to yourself, to your singing, energy-filled body. And just a few sessions will give you attunement, sensitivity, femininity, organicity.

tai chi chuan

Taijiquan is an ancient Chinese internal practice, during which you will get rejuvenation, harmonization of the emotional state, getting rid of many health problems, strengthening all body systems. This is common knowledge, but in fact, a woman who practices tai chi gets much more. Tai Chi Chuan teaches mindfulness management own body . At the first stage of training under the guidance of a master, people get rid of blockages and clamps that they have “worked out” in their lives. We are starting to build a new geometry of the body, that is, align the body systems (right-left, top-bottom, diagonals), which leads to an improvement in the condition of internal organs, and solving problems with the spine, neck, knees, reeds. In addition, we learn to pay attention inward, work with mental effort, which means we train the brain, which is also prevention. age-related changes, and work on the sensitivity of the body, and the beginning of the management of internal energy.

When the body, mind and energy of a person are united, he receives single body, and this is not just health and longevity, it is a qualitatively different way of living life. These are brighter colors, more sensations from tastes and smells, brighter and purer emotions. It's just a qualitatively different life. To put it in fashionable terms, tai chi allows you to upgrade yourself without doctors and procedures, simply by properly allocating your own resources, while acquiring completely new opportunities.

). But yoga, especially female yoga as a spiritual path, as well as great gymnastics for the body, hormones and energy, is the most important practice for me. And I am constantly in search of new practices, directions and teachers who are consonant with me, do not “break” my beloved body, but build their occupation with an understanding of the needs female body and energy, and after such exercises, the muscles and joints become fluid, the mind is clear, and the consciousness is pure. :)

I went through yoga for hormones in Bali and described and gave some practices about how cool it works. I present an article by a yogini, about her experience of hormonal balance.

Lexi specializes in retreats, holidays for the mind, body and soul, which she spends in Bali ( Note. my. - About my trip to Bali, and passwords and appearances) .

“Yoga is a mystery. Its healing benefits never cease to amaze me. Some asanas even balance hormones, so yoga can be practiced to balance hormones.
