Here is a conversation I had with a friend who asked me a few questions about how #yoga has helped me in my life. Yoga is like a friend holding your hand through the journey of life. When I come onto my yoga mat whether that is to do a physical practice or a meditation I find comfort, peace and a sense of safety 💛 Yoga has been there to guide me through my health issues and more recently yoga has given me the strength to adapt to life as a single mum. It is through the journey of yoga, #meditation and #spirituality that I have learnt to honour myself and follow my truth 💫 I hope that in some way you may feel inspired or compelled to step onto your yoga mat and open yourself up to the unfolding of a deep journey of connection with yourself, your higher Self and your soul 🧘🏽‍♀️ Namaste 🙏🏽 #yoga #yogastudent #yogateacher # yogalife #mum #mumlife #singlemum #yogawithjaina 🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️🔸️ To be updated with new videos please subscribe to my channel www.youtube.com/@yogawithjaina For details about my classes, workshops, retreats and events www.yogawithjaina.com Follow me on socials Facebook  Instagram

In today's video I will be taking you through a slow mindful yoga practice that works on opening the body and creating space. This video is useful for the third trimester of pregnancy. I encourage a slow practice as in the third trimester our body starts to slow down but often our mind can resist the need to slowdown. Therefore practicing a slower yoga practice can encourage the mind to slow down and align with the needs of the body. This sequence is for beginners and regular yoga practitioners who are pregnant. But this video can also be followed if you are not pregnant. Participating in this video is voluntary and it is recommended that you consult a doctor, midwife or health practitioner if you have any concerns before participating. By engaging in these exercises you do so at your own risk. I hope you enjoy this practice and I would be so grateful to hear how you felt after practicing the sequence so please do drop a comment in the box below. Thanks for watching and Namaste.

In this video I take you through the moon salutation which invites us to go inward and develop a cool calm energy. Many of us will have heard of the popular yoga sequence the Sun Salutation which rejuvenates the body and mind. So the Moon Salutation is the equal opposite and both sequences work on tone and strength too. The Moon Salutation has a sense of fluidity and softness which taps into our feminine energy. The sequence also includes the Goddess pose which evokes the Divine Feminine that exists within all of us whether we are male or female. There is a power within this energy which is often referred to in Sanskrit as Shakti. The Shakti power when accessed can unleash our intuition which is both creative and can inspire a force within us to move through darkness and connect to the source of our inner light. I hope you enjoy this practice and I would be so grateful to hear how you felt after practicing the sequence so please do drop a comment in the box below.
