One of the best ways to relax and ground yourself? There is nothing more grounding, calming and relaxing to me than a long walk along  the nature..Few days ago we went to Nuuksio national park that is about half an hour drive from our home and I could finally have my nature-walk. There is nothing like this blissful connection with The Mother Earth and yourself. Nuuksio National Park It really is a blessing to have this large, green national park so close to our home. When I step into the woods all my senses starts to wake up differently. I hear the birds singing, I smell the green grass and the plants and trees around me, I see clearly all the amazing autumn colors around me and I feel, I feel the moment! Nothing else is important  anymore. The chatter of the mind fades away, the big important thing you just thought about ceases to be so important or urgent or whatever it was just a moment ago.                                                               

Prenatal Yin Yoga Sequence

Yin Yoga stimulates the meridian lines of the body and this is very beneficial for both baby and mother. They influence every organ and physiological system in the body . They carry energy throughout the body, this energy is often referred to as chi,qi or prana. This following Yin flow is attempting to stimulate all the meridian lines of the body. You should remember that during the pregnancy   hormone relaxin is causing the ligaments to soften and stretch. With the ligaments already softening it is easier to damage them. So now is not the time to try to go deeper in the practice. It is good idea to go only as far in the poses now as open you were before becoming pregnant. You can hold Yin asanas several minutes, when you are pregnant adjust the holding times according how the pose feels for you.    You can start with a short meditation while you are deepening the breath. Take very slow inhalations and exhalations while you keep your eyes closed and your mind can focus firs
