#13

rest rest rest

#12

morning-90sec-plank even before coffee. in the evening we returned having capoeira class. literally destroyed. but happy.

#11

i've tried to do a session on sun salutations but my dearest daughter kept sitting onmy head and even pushed me a few times. at least i did my plank. 1 min!

#10

plank day

#8

after i have been practising onlywith the app it was a nice treat to tune in with kino today. smooth beginner class. you can find it here: Kinos Beginner Session.

taking pictures during practise is good to see what you have to improve, what you already have improved, how your body change or you can even see how you breathe. the simpliest and very basic downwardfacing dog for example - still too stiff hamstrings, hips almost there and i have to sink deeper into the shoulder blades.

#7

pocket yoga - ocean flow. which wouldn´t really start flowing - my daughter kept sitting on my head and back during practise.

#6

plank free day. also not so feeling well.. so also no training at all ;-)

#5

today i've started with sun salutations (pocket yoga) and did my day 5 40 sec plank. my daughter interrupted me a few times though :-)

#3 #4

just lazy plank days... i'm getting there slowly!
30 sec

#day2

and yoga it is (for today) !
soon after breakfast i did my 20 sec plank (way too easy so far but i guess in a few days i won't complain anymore...) and the 30 mins intermediate yoga session "ocean" from pocketyoga. that's an app which is good for starters (easy postures, good explained) and to get a certain routine in practising every day. i think it will get boring soon though the more routine you get...

#day1

today as everybody else i started slowly into the very first day of the year. i´ve lost a bet and went on a thread-mill in the early afternoon but that was more like just for fun...

later i did a small yoga session - Erin Motz from doyouyoga.com who has a 30 day yoga challenge programme on youtube. her day1 practise focused on hips opening - check it out:

and to finish my day i started the 30 day plank challenge of 30dayfitnesschallenges.com - 20 sec in half plank (which i find is more difficult than full plank, and less impact for the wrists)

my name is Pia, I am from austria and live with my husband and daughter in brazil. this blog is less a call for followers or to spread my ideas, it´s more of a personal journal to keep me continuing my journey into a different way to see my body, to find my inner peace.

usually I don´t challenge myself in public nor put photos of me sweating, exercising. but this year I need to get back to where I was and beyond. since my daughter was born, I hardly was able to exercise frequently or could keep up with my capoeira (brazilian martial art) students, I´ve lost my flexibility and I simply miss that good feeling in my body after a good workout. 

my goal is to get back to a good rhythm of workouts which will be a mixture of yoga, pilates, capoeira and gym.

this is my journey,
can´t wait
