“Rise up with passion and your passion will rise up your world.” - Hiral Nagda Starting this lovely Friday with a lovely camel split. Love this variation of opening heart, stretching hamstrings and finding balance. I am always a little disordered what poses to choose when I’m not hosting or following a challenge, but a next challenge is on its way! From Monday on I’ll host the #AloSelfExploration challenge together with some wonderful hosts. Happy Friday!!! ☀️☀️☀️ Wearing an amazing bodysuit by @yesflaneuse 🩷🩷🩷 #yogachallenges #yogapractice #yogacommunity #yogavibes  #yogaaddict #yogajourney  #yoga #yogachallenge #yoga #yogini #yogalove #yogamotivation #yogainspiration #yogafun #yogateacher #yogastudent #selfcare #heartopener #backbend #camelpose #ustrasana #split #hanumanasana #inversion

“When life feels overwhelming, enjoy a literal change in perspective by turning your world upside down.” Would have loved to join the complete #HeadstandALOngWithUs4 challenge, but I noticed it was there just after I made my photos for this week. I just photographed one headstand to post this week. Not the right version for today, but I just liked to join this lovely team for at least one day! Posting a middle split headstand at the wall with my hands up. 🙌🏼 Wearing a fabulous new bodysuit by @yesflaneuse ♥️🩷.

“Open your heart and let love guide your way.” - Unknown I picked a wheel pose or urdhva dhanurasana variation on one arm for today. One of my favorite stretches, as it stretches the hips, spine, sides, shoulders and arms! Always love heart opening poses, but especially after a busy day or after sitting for a lot. So nice to open up the front.

“If you restore balance in your own self, you will be contributing immensely to the healing of the world.” - Deepak Chopra Some poses are so nice to practice, but are always forgotten in my practices. For example this balancing lizard variation. This funky balance I found a long time ago on Instagram and is so nice to try again every once in a while! No challenges for today and I was really in the mood for it. Always good to do it a couple of times, just to see if I can lift a little bit higher! 💓 #yogachallenges #yogapractice #yogacommunity #yogavibes  #yogaaddict #yogajourney  #yoga #yogachallenge #yoga #yogini #yogalove #yogamotivation #yogainspiration #yogafun #yogateacher #yogastudent #forwardfold #balancingpose #lizardpose #utthanpristhasana #armbalance #inversion

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” - Winston Churchill A yummy deep forward fold to start the week! I always love to get into this deep dolphin variation. A great stretch fiercer hamstrings, a wonderful extension of the spine and a nice preparation for pincha. And always a pose that can be worked on. The last few millimeters are still the hard part. Happy new week! ☀️☀️☀️ #yogachallenges #yogapractice #yogacommunity #yogavibes  #yogaaddict #yogajourney  #yoga #yogachallenge #yoga #yogini #yogalove #yogamotivation #yogainspiration #yogafun #yogateacher #yogastudent #forwardfold #ardhapincha #dolphinpose #hamstringstretch

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” A plank pose for today! A pose that improves overall strength and stability and is so important in many of the active yoga practices. I added a little hip opening variation by placing my leg behind my head! And got on my forearms. Just a little more stretch and flexibility for this lovely Sunday. And so much easier to get into this pose with leggings instead of jeans! Happy Sunday 🧡🩷❤️ #yogachallenges #yogapractice #yogacommunity #yogavibes  #yogaaddict #yogajourney  #yoga #yogachallenge #yoga #yogini #yogalove #yogamotivation #yogainspiration #yogafun #yogateacher #yogastudent #phalakasana #plankpose #corestrength

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” - Anne Lamott No challenge for today, but one more pose with jeans to finish my tree in a row. Loved wearing jeans so if there will be a second #YogaInMottandBowJeans challenge I will definitely be in! Starting the weekend with my favorite stretch, an Ardha Chandra Chapasana or Sugarcane variation. The first Saturday in ages I have a day off! Once in a while it’s so nice to have some free moments, just to reset and take a moment to relax. Happy weekend everyone! 🩵👖🩵👖 #yogachallenges #yogapractice #yogacommunity #yogavibes  #yogaaddict #yogajourney  #yoga #yogachallenge #creative #yoga #yogini #yogalove #yogamotivation #yogainspiration #yogafun #yogateacher #yogastudent #yogainjeans #inversion #upsidedown #splits #standingbalance #heartopener #backbend #sugarcanepose #ardhachandrachapasana #hamstringstretch

“Jeans are like fries ……. you can’t have just one.” Today it is day 4 of the fabulous #YogaInMottandBowJeans challenge and for today there is an arm balance in jeans on the list. As I stick to my 3-in-a-row concept according to my outfits I needed a new jeans-outfit, so I went for a lighter jeans with some diagonal seams. It didn’t make it easier to practice in jeans, but everything for the Instagram-looks! At least I always love this pincha variation!!! 🩵👖🩵👖 👖Pose List: ✅. Backbend in jeans ✅. Inversion in jeans ✅.

“Stretching is a little bit of sweetness for your body and soul.” It is day 3 today of the #YogaInMottandBowJeans challenge and for today there is a forward fold on the list. I picked a standing split with a forward fold at the wall. A pose that usually goes easily, but for this one in jeans I had to be super careful so my jeans would survive. (And I would not really mind even if it didn’t survive, but it looks so weird on a photo wearing completely ripped pants. 😅) Luckily it worked and I always love doing some yummy splits! 💙💙💙 👖Pose List: ✅.

“Sometimes you have to let life turn you upside down so you can learn how to live right side up.” - Dave Johnson Today it is the second day of the #YogaInMottandBowJeans challenge and for today there is an inversion on the list. A great day to get into my beloved eagle leg headstand! Always love to practice this variation! Spreading the arms wide and getting in the fingertips is the tricky part of the pose, but it makes it so much more worth practicing! No problem at all either the jeans in this one. Just as comfortable as leggings!! 💙💙💙 👖Pose List: ✅. Backbend in jeans ✅. Inversion in jeans 3️⃣. Forward fold in jeans 4️⃣. Arm balance in jeans 5️⃣.

So nice to wear jeans this week instead of leggings! Starting today with a Backbend in jeans. I picked my favorite camel variation! Loved doing this in jeans.
