Since I came back from Greece, my body was asking me for a detox. I love Greece. The people, the food, the coffee, the islands, everything. But too much food (specially dairy) was not so good for me. I needed to clean my body. I started to read the book “Clean” by Alejandro Junger to get some...
Padmasana or Lotus pose is one of the most challenging poses for me. I always felt my knees were going to break if I move my other feet over the leg…So I stayed for a while doing half lotus…I used to have a lot of respect (aka fear) for this pose…Until one day, I...

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been following a prenatal course to be able to teach prenatal yoga classes. With my personal practice and some reading I was happy but wanted to make sure that everything I was doing was safe and have some kind of certification and deeper study. Today...
With still 5 more weeks to go, it feels like the pregnancy is a long journey, but I have to admit that after week 20 everything and time has gone so fast that I am amazed I still have only one more month and a half to go (if he doesn’t come earlier…;) I...
