Amazing Sweaty 45 Min Yoga for Strength And Calmness

My first yoga teacher was Kristin McGee. This was around 2005 and I had found a 1-hour yoga video where Kristin, with her gorgeous smile, showed me how to do the downward dog, warrior pose and even a backbend. I must have repeated that routine on my computer at least a hundred times, and I am still not bored of it.

I have been practising yoga for many years and to say that it has healed me, is an understatement. Unlike the treadmill or gym, where I can perform the moves on mental autopilot, yoga demands my full attention, physically and mentally. And sometimes it’s irritating. That’s why many people hate yoga ( yes, there are people who hate yoga) because it pushes them to face themselves, in their wobbliness and instability, and make peace with it. Yes, yoga is hard.

But yoga is also life. My practice has supported me to gain strength physically and empowered me to deal with my bouts of anxiety and depression in a calm way. It has motivated me to accept myself with all my defects and has exhibited in many glorious ways, that yoga is not just a 1-hour practice on the mat, its a way of life.

So, today, I present to you this wonderful video I chanced upon on youtube. This practice was tough for me ( PMS time) but I felt so afterwards! My body felt strong and my mind, calm. So try it out, you have only things to gain from it.
