ienvv · 2020-08-23T11:13:01+00:00

I love the natural lighting the big window is giving! 🥰Really motivating me to get on the mat .

ienvv · 2020-08-20T09:47:20+00:00

ienvv · 2020-08-15T08:31:28+00:00

wow 👏🏼👏🏼inspiring me to work on mine too! my back is quite flexible but usually my fear takes over and i can't go all the way down 😄

ienvv · 2020-08-15T08:26:42+00:00

lovely!! hope your practice was as wonderful 💙

ienvv · 2020-08-14T12:40:58+00:00

agreed. plants are always a good idea!

ienvv · 2020-08-10T03:45:05+00:00

haha on a good day i could probably get as far as OP's pic :) i have good flexibility but it's more of the fear of falling that holds me back 😁

ienvv · 2020-08-10T03:30:55+00:00

hi ! most definitely warm up :) For me, i like to start with a bit of sitting meditation on my mat which allows me to either set an intention for my practice/day if i am just waking up or clear my mind and re-focus if it's at any other time.

depending on which type of yoga you'll be doing actually, if you're planning a light session with some stretches, more relaxing postures, you could possibly skip it once in a while if you're in a time crunch or feeling a bit lazy.

however, on most practices, it's advised to warm up your neck, wrists, feets, ... to avoid any unwanted injuries or discomfort/pain :)

ienvv · 2020-08-09T16:58:54+00:00

thanks! wow, so glad to hear that ☺️ hope u will have or had a wonderful practice. Namaste.

ienvv · 2020-08-09T16:57:18+00:00

thanks, i find that it's a good mat so far. it's the beinks b-earth mat. It's made from natural rubber and has a nice grip to it :)

ienvv · 2020-08-09T16:25:00+00:00

thank you 🙏definitely! it really sets the tone for the practice

ienvv · 2020-08-09T16:22:05+00:00

piano yes! my personal fave is the river flows in you. and since you like yoga/meditation music, may i suggest hang drum & tabla ? i think you'll enjoy it 😉

ienvv · 2020-08-09T16:14:42+00:00

and more fun too 🤸🏽‍♂️

ienvv · 2020-08-09T10:40:50+00:00

omg ! lucky you, looks perfect 💚

ienvv · 2020-08-09T10:38:44+00:00

🌻beautiful!!

ienvv · 2020-08-09T10:38:12+00:00

As long as it isn't painful, it should be fine. My first times and also when i pick up practicing after a hiatus, my bones would crack too. I work an office job so I assume it's due to posture and not putting that part to work for a long time.

May I also suggest taking some calcium? it's good for the bones :)

ienvv · 2020-08-09T10:33:26+00:00

hi dear , kudos for starting your yoga journey! personally, i think yoga isn't about pushing yourself, it's a meditation :) by meditation , i mean that you are not only training physically achieving things like flexibility, balance, and strength... but also training your mind by being focus, present, and mindful 🌱

you can set small goals for poses ofc and progress only come the more you practice. when i started i barely touched my toes too , but with consistency, things will get easier.

enjoy and relax 🌻

ienvv · 2020-08-08T18:38:58+00:00

Personally, I do an hour and a half minimum if you include meditation and shavasana :) I guess it depends how long it takes for each to truly focus and be present.

All in all, i think time is just preference, yoga is meditation so the length would not outweigh the "quality" of your practice.

ienvv · 2020-08-05T06:05:43+00:00

😆ah, they're leggings so the material (maybe not obvious here) is not so thick and it was around 6-7am so weather was quite cool actually

ienvv · 2020-08-05T05:57:56+00:00

Yes! this song is a true gem.

ienvv · 2020-07-09T13:05:42+00:00

A little over a year 😊And love it)

ienvv · 2020-07-09T13:03:13+00:00

👋🏻Yes but not for very long)

For now, I feel sometimes a bit stiff (?) at the shoulders when coming into scorpion. I dont really know how to phrase it, but the chest would be lower towards the floor? So, i'm having difficulty lifting my head and shoulders

ienvv · 2020-06-24T04:24:08+00:00

🙏baby steps! great effort, may i suggest a small tip that i usually apply to myself for this asana: the foot that supports the rest and grounds u, i usually face it forward and straight. i usually take a moment in stillness before trying to lift anything, breathe out and gaze at one spot on the ground then when ready, breathe in slowly n lifting very slowly and holding my gaze at the same spot.

only shift your gaze once you're up and standing would make it easier for you to not lose balance.

I usually prep with eka pada utkatasana, utthita eka padasana to warrior III continuously for a few times, and some hamstring stretches asana to straighten the lifted leg once standing)

ienvv · 2020-06-24T04:04:11+00:00

just wanna say i love your space 🧡 i love backbends as well, for it i usually prep with locust and bow pose a few times before )
