Traveling around the world with yoga

I love to do yoga! It is really important for my physical and mental health! I know that some of you might think that yoga is a really light sport and has nothing to do with physical training but you are wrong!... Sure - as you don´t need a license to be a yoga teacher there are many "kinds" of yoga in our western world and some of them have nothing to do with the original.

I will write more about that soon. But just that you know, scientists studied the actual sport and have verified that it relieves circulatory disorder, insomnia, fear and depression, chronic headaches and back pain.

Doing the Asanas you are training your strength, flexibility, balance and the power of endurance of your muscles. As in any sport you feel a lot more present in the moment and your body but moreimportantly you get more and more access to your whole body and learn how to move and control it training your muscles from deep down :)

I am a Yoga instructor and obviously as I am in Europe for this two month I am using my time to get some practice ;) That´s why I haven´t been blogging so much the past 4 days. I am in Tirol doing a whole week of yoga eating vegan to detox my body and get in shape for my trip :)

From last saturday on until next saturday my days look like that:

• 7:30 o´clock: Pranayama
• 8:00-11:00 o´clock: Yoga Asanas
• 11:15 o´clock: Brunch
• 15:00-17:00 o´clock: Yoga Asanas
• 17:15 o´clock: Dinner

I really enjoy my stay here so far and I am doing great. We are doing mostly Iyengaryoga but also a bit of Yin yoga in the evenings. In Mexico I also did a lot of Ashtanga Yoga!

Here a video of BKS Iyengar practicing so you get a bit of an idea ;) This is trained to the perfection obviously:

Also nice: Ashtanga Yoga:

The main difference is that Iyengar let people be for a long time in one position giving a lot of detailed instructions, the Asanas are variable. Ashtanga is always done in a flow. The sequences are always the same in Ahtanga yoga.

This is how our dinner looked like today:

Very healthy, deliciouse and vegan!

I always loved to do yoga on my trips and will go on with it.
