ANDREA - a full time Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi instructor.

I fell in love with yoga over seven years ago, when I got a Nintendo DS and bought a game called Let's Yoga. From then, I began 'playing' yoga everyday, sometimes twice a day. At first, the practice was more physical for me, but after few months I started to really count on yoga to bring me a sense of calm during especially chaotic days. Soon after, I began recognizing the benefits of a regular asana and meditation practice and continued to incorporate yoga daily - not just during times of chaos. I found myself feeling more energized, more compassionate, happier, and with more awareness. Now, I teach full-time and couldn't be happier to do what I love. What began as a physical practice for strength and flexibility quickly became a lifestyle. I teach my students to take their yoga off the mat and apply the principles learned in the class to their lives outside of the studio. I do not only teach my philosophy, I live it.

Stolička - Utkatasana

Zaujímavosti:

Táto póza je doslova ´zabijak´, ale stoji za to! Utkana znamená v Sanskrite divoký. Táto póza naozaj vyzerá ako stolička a pri nej určite budete divoko počítať sekundy, pretože boľavé nohy nebudú chcieť poslúchať...

Prečo ju cvičiť:

- výborne tónuje stehenné svaly
- posilňuje boky, lýtka a členky
- otvára hrudník a ramená
- stimuluje srdce, bránicu a orgány v bruchu
- znižuje príznaky plochých nôh

Tipy:

-  zastaňte si na jogový blok
- nechoďte úplne dole
- nohy si dajte ďalej od seba
- najprv ju vyskúšajte bez pohybov rúk

Ako na to:
