In the constant motion of life, whether it's the physical exertion from a workout or the mental strain from long hours at the office, our bodies and minds yearn for a moment of equilibrium and peace. This is where the remarkable practice of Viparita Karani, a restorative yoga pose also known as 'legs up the wall', comes into play. This pose is excellent for calming the nervous system and helping the body transition into a restful state.

Welcome to explore some of the wonderful benefits of restorative yoga; a gentle yet profound practice that embraces physical, mental, and emotional wellness. In a world where stress is commonplace and relaxation often feels like a distant memory, restorative yoga emerges as a source of calm and rejuvenation. This modern adaptation of ancient yogic principles and techniques offers a unique pathway to tranquility and well-being.

Is an overactive mind, stress, or aches in the body preventing you to have a good quality sleep?

I'm a mother of two, a yoga teacher, an entrepreneur, and a wife whose daily life oftentimes is rather busy and hectic. I used to sleep very badly mostly because of stress and constant thoughts and worries running through my mind day in and day out. It was only when I started to intensively study and practice yoga asana (the physical poses), meditation, and breathing that I managed to calm my brain and my nervous system before going to bed. This made a huge difference in my sleep quality! Well, this and creating myself a calming evening routine.
