Piccola Yogini

Need a spine reset? Try these 4 twists.
Twists are one of my favorite ways to release tension, create space through the back body, and reconnect with my breath. Move slowly, breathe deeply, and enjoy the wring-it-out feeling.

If there's one thing I never skip when I practice yoga is cat-cow in the warm-up. Which variation do you prefer? Classic, with fingertips facing the back of the mat, on the forearms, or with knees off the mat?

Compass pose (surya yantrasana) can be tricky, but these two dynamic drills make it more doable. Will you give them a try?

Low back pain can make even the smallest things feel uncomfortable. These 6 gentle yoga poses are perfect for releasing tension, easing stiffness, and helping your body feel more supported and mobile again. Move slowly, breathe deeply, and let your body soften with each stretch.

Try this 5-min boat pose (navasana) sequence to strengthen your core!

Flow with intention and control and don't forget to do both sides!

Good old shoulder flossing... such a great shoulder mobility exercise! Don't have a yoga strap? No worries! You can use a band, a towel, or even a broomstick instead.

I always recommend yogis to prep their body before practicing intense yoga poses, but if there is one asana I really suggest yogis not to just drop into is pigeon pose (kapotasana - not to be confused with single-legged pigeon pose). It requires a ton of flexibility, strength, and mobility!

I'm aware that social media tend to show only a very flamboyant version of asana practice, but it shouldn't be like this.

Pause, breathe, and soften. Strength is not in holding everything tight, it is in knowing when to release. The more you soften, the more your body opens and responds.
