Yogis = ett samlingsnamn för personer som utövar yoga.

De senaste åren har yoga och meditation blivit väldigt populärt. Att minska stress och hitta förmågan att vara i nuet är några av anledningar  till att många har börjat utöva yoga och meditation. Många åker på olika retreats för att under en vecka yoga och meditera ofta i kombination med hälsosam mat. Yogaresor har under de senaste åren blivit väldigt populärt. Att yoga kräver inte så mycket utrustning, så oavsett vart man befinner sig kan man utöva yoga eller meditation. Målet med att yoga har beskrivits som frihet, frigörelse men vad exakt det betyder skiljer sig beroende på vilken inriktning av yoga man följer.

Att utöva yoga eller meditation på resan är inte så svårt, det enda som behövs är en yogamatta. Men hur hittar man en unik plats för utövandet när man reser? En tanke är att via en app kan få förslag på olika platser, platsen behöver inte vara en yogastudio utan kan vara en speciell strand, klippa, park etc. Platserna kan betygsättas. Användare kan se hur många som checkat in på platsen och kontakta andra yogis i närheten samt skapa evenemang med andra.

"...Manduka + Yogaia is setting itself apart as the first live online interactive yoga plattform in the United States."

Att kunna utöva yoga live online med direkt feedback från instruktörer gör att fler kan ta professionella yoga-klasser utan att fysiskt befinna sig i salen. Det finns massvis av yoga-videos där man kan följa en instruktör men att nu kunna få direkt feedback och det blir ett samtal mellan instruktör och utövare tror jag gör upplevelsen mer givande. Det många nybörjare upplever är att de inte gör positionerna rätt, att då kunna få feedback online är väldigt bra för att kunna utveckla sig.

Jag har valt denna referens då jag tycker att det är ett nytt och intressant sätt att utöva yoga på. Det gör också att yoga inte är begränsad till en plats utan vart man än befinner sig kan man gå på en yoga-klass.

"People try yoga for all different reasons, though those reasons are evolving..."

Artikel som beskriver varför utövare började med yoga, hur det har förbättrat deras mentala hälsa och befinna sig i nuet. Jag valde denna som referens för att förstå varför man börjar utöva yoga, vad man söker efter och hur det påverkar en, både fysisk och mentalt.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's pretty accurate to say yoga has taken the country by storm. And the popularity of the practice is visible in lots of ways: in the sheer number of yoga studios in the U.S., in the amount of yoga gear that's for sale at all kinds of retailers and even in the excited conversations about yoga and meditation practices you can overhear in public places, at least in big cities. But even more, it's evident in people's reasons for doing yoga. A new survey by Yoga Alliance and Yoga Journal (carried out by Ipsos Public Affairs), queried 2,000 people in the general population and 1,700 more yoga practitioners. The study set out to quantify the spread of yoga across the U.S. But it also looks at who's practicing yoga these days and the motivations people have for practicing. And interestingly, all of these elements have changed over the last few years, and will very likely to continue to evolve as well.
The Practitioners
The most obvious evolution has been in the sheer number of people who are practicing it: according to the study, yoga is being practiced by some 37 million people in the U.S. This is up from 20 million three years ago, which means yoga has nearly doubled in just a few years. It also means about one out of ten people is practicing it, which is pretty impressive: Twenty years ago, not many would have thought it would be this big this quickly.

And matching this growth is the finding that almost three-quarters of people have been practicing for less than five years, which underlines the relative newness of the interest. Not surprisingly, yoga is practiced much more frequently on the two coasts and somewhat less frequently in the middle of the country. But it's growing, on average, in all parts.

Interestingly, the sex differences are dissipating a bit over time, too. Where a few years ago, women outnumbered men four to- one, the new study finds that 72% of practitioners are women and 28% are men.

About 34% of those polled said they'd practice yoga in the next six months, but this includes those who are already practicing. So a lot of people who aren't currently practicing think they will, presumably because they're aware of the benefits. Which means a general awareness of yoga, perhaps through word of mouth, the media and the scientific studies on its benefits, is getting around.
The Draw
People try yoga for all different reasons, though those reasons are also evolving. In the new study, 61% said flexibility was what drew them in; for 56% it was stress relief; for 49% it's general fitness; for another 49%, overall health was the goal; and for 44% physical fitness.

About 90% of people are aware of the presence of yoga now, vs. 75% three years ago. And 75% of Americans believe it's good for them. Most practitioners-over 80%-are aware of the history and philosophy behind yoga, namely that it started out as set of mental practices, rather than a physical one, and a guiding set of ethical principles.

Among current practitioners, 86% said that they experienced a strong sense of mental clarity, and 90% said they somewhat or strongly agreed that yoga is a form of meditation. Which is a good thing, since meditation was originally a huge part of yoga.

And among people who didn't currently practice but said they were likely to start, some of the reasons for the budding interest were basic enjoyment, the fact that yoga is said to be "good" for a person, that it's a stress reliever, that it helps performance in sports or exercise, and that it's a form of meditation.
The Business
And then there's the business side of things. The new survey found that Americans spent $16 billion on classes, gear and accessories, which is up from $10 billion three years ago. Breaking this down, practitioners spent $5.8 billion on yoga classes and $4.6 billion on yoga clothes-these amounts are both more than double what they were just a few years ago. And practitioners spent $3.6 billion on yoga mats and other items.
The Future of Yoga
Finally, yoga seems to be increasingly appealing to young people too. In the new study, about 37% of the practitioners' kids under the age of 18 also practiced. And as a general trend, beyond the scope of this study, schools are offering yoga more often as part of their curricula, since it helps kids get get calm and learn to center themselves while at school. All kids can benefit from yoga, but for some children, who have very difficult or traumatic lives outside of school, yoga can bring particular benefits. And as we understand more and more about how yoga affects the bodies and brains of kids and adults, it will likely be an even more widespread phenomenon than it already is. Maybe it will even be a regular part of life, and more a rule than an exception. It already seems to be headed this way.

"Those searching for "the world most exclusive yoga experience"..."

Ny trend inom yoga, HeliYoga. Under min undersökning blev det tydligt att fler letar efter unika platser att utöva yoga på. Relevant som referens för olika trender inom yoga och att yogis söker efter något unikt.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Those searching for "the world's most exclusive yoga experience" just might find it high atop the red sandstone peaks of Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park, a remote destination only accessible by helicopter.

HeliYoga: Limitless, a new venture from Maverick Helicopters and local Las Vegas yoga company Silent Savasana, launched last November, and has lifted off for a total of four yoga adventures so far. But this once-in-a-lifetime yoga excursion (think the heliskiing of yoga) doesn't come cheap: the chopper ride there and back, 75 minutes of yoga (leaving some time to explore the red rocks), and a glass of champagne is currently priced at $3,500 for up to six students.

What You Get for the High Price

If you find five friends who would like to take this journey with you (yoga bachelorette party in Vegas, anyone?), you can shave the cost down to about $583 per person. "It's just under $600 for the most unique yoga experience in the world," says Kyle Markman, co-founder of Silent Savasana.

The total cost covers limousine pick-up from your hotel room or from your home (if you're within 5 miles of the Strip) to the Las Vegas helicopter terminal, where you board a top-of-the-line helicopter for a 20-minute ride to the top of the Valley of Fire, about 3,000 feet above ground. "It is stunningly beautiful ... majestic ... the closest we'll get to doing yoga on Mars in our lifetime," says Markman. (Fun fact: The outside Mars scenes from Total Recall were mostly filmed at the Valley of Fire.)

Upon arrival, students can explore for 10-15 minutes before the HeliYoga begins. The yoga class-or "yoga experience," as Silent Savasana co-founder and lead instructor Dray Gardner prefers to call it-comes complete with a Lululemon yoga mat and wireless headphones through which you listen to both the teacher and a custom playlist curated by Gardner, who is also a musician and a DJ.

The Yoga Experience

"Once you put the headphones on, it dampens all outside interference. It's almost like a one-on-one experience," says Gardner. The music varies from class to class, featuring artists and soundtracks as diverse as Frank Sinatra, Bill Withers, Al Green, Dean Martin, Game of Thrones, Willy Wonka, as well as homages to artists we recently lost, like George Michael, David Bowie, and Prince. "I use non-traditional music to get people to get away from thinking a little bit and help them relax," Gardner explains. "It's fun-you never know what's coming next."

The music may be non-traditional, but the yoga is authentic, Gardner says. "I like to refer to it as free flow, a combination of everything I've been certified in: Dharma [Yoga], elements of Bikram Yoga, and Sumit's Yoga (hot yoga with music). I use yoga to help people connect to the moment and themselves."

After class, there's about 20 minutes left for more exploring (and selfie-taking), followed by a champagne toast. The adventure concludes with a 20-minute flight back right over downtown Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Strip.
HeliYoga: Limitless is on hold until the weather warms up in springtime. For more information, call (702) 405-4300.
Chelsey Pierce, a 32-year-old Las Vegas yogi who is currently taking a teacher training course with Z-Flow Power Yoga, participated in one of the first HeliYoga adventures in mid-November and says it was like nothing she had experienced before.

"I'm an avid yogi and I travel a lot for work. I seek out really different unique yoga experience in places like Costa Rica, Belize, the British Virgin Islands, and Maui, so I know what a unique experience feels like and this was above and beyond that," she tells Yoga Journal. "I'm critical because I know what you should feel in yoga to begin with-connected to your mind, soul, and body-and this experience really, truly takes you to a whole other level. You do feel like you are in a completely different world ... you can't help but connect on a spiritual level."

Have you ever wanted some extra help tuning out the external world, let alone your inner dialogue, for a yoga class? Look no further than Sound Off Yoga.

Picture this: You've made it to the yoga studio and you roll out your mat, take a few deep breaths, and start to drop in. Just as you're feeling blissed, a car alarm goes off nearby, dogs start barking in the distance, or you realize your mat neighbor is a Darth Vader breather. Not very Zen, says New York-based entrepreneur Castel Valere-Couturier, founder and CEO of what may be the antidote: Sound Off Yoga.

Here's how it works: Everyone in class wears a pair of wireless headphones, through which your yoga teacher's cues as well as music-play at whatever volume you like. "It may not seem very yogic at first, but it's actually a great solution in big classes, where teachers often have to yell into a microphone," says Valere-Couturier. "It's also great in classes where one student might want the music cranked up, while another would prefer that the teacher whisper in her ear." While it may be untraditional, "silent yoga" is certainly gaining popularity. Look for class offerings and other silent events near you at soundoffexperience.com.

Don't miss The Art of Teaching Yoga, a mentoring program for registered yoga teachers, at YJ LIVE Florida (Nov. 11-13) and San Francisco (Jan. 13-15). Register now to work closely with seasoned mentors like Coral Brown and take your teaching skills to the next level.

In The Art of Teaching Yoga, some of our favorite master yogis will guide an intimate group of students through Yoga Journal LIVE! 2016 events and teach YOU how to become a better teacher. We asked one of these seasoned yogis -- Coral Brown, a teacher trainer, holistic psychotherapist, and longtime student of Shiva Rea -- for 5 points of etiquette that come up in yoga classes (ahem, cell phones), and how they relate to yoga philosophy.

The Philosophy Behind 5 Points of Yoga Etiquette

1. Where you place yourself in the yoga room

When you arrive at yoga class, there is an etiquette to where you place yourself in the room ... and challenging yourself to break out of your comfort zone can also enhance your practice, Brown says. "I think it turns to in front, back, or middle ... where do you want to place yourself in the room, and what's your motivation for being at a certain location? The motivation/desire behind the action gives us direction on where the work is," she explains. "Are you attached to that spot because that's where you always go? Then, you should practice non-attachment ( vairagya). If you see other students come in and you spread out and stack your blocks so that nobody takes the spot next to you (so you won't feel crowded), you should practice non-greed (aparigraha). If you want to be up front to see the teacher and you don't want to be distracted by anyone behind you, that goes along with [improving] your , or focus.

Your Ayurvedic dosha also may play a role in where your comfort zone is in the yoga studio, Brown adds. "If you're in the front to show off and 'prove your moves,' in Ayurveda we would describe that as an overactive pitta, type-A kind of thing. Pitta is great and helps us stay driven/motivated, but when it's out of balance, it shows up in negative qualities of competitiveness, showmanship, or overactive ego ( ahamkara). The lesson here is to go in the back or the middle to work on that. I also often cue these students to place their drishti downward - some of us need our gaze upward with the intent of enhancing self-esteem, but those with overactive pitta may need to look down to look inward.

Conversely, if you always place yourself in the back of the room, you may need to step forward to stop hiding and being afraid, Brown explains. "You know what you're doing [in class], and you need to stop comparing yourself to others. By moving up, you move into self-study, witnessing yourself instead of turning away and hiding. Some of these students may have the heavier qualities of kapha in not wanting to be more dynamic. Kaphas like to be comfortable. They need to challenge themselves and own it a little more. The aim of yoga and what we practice in asana is to be on the edge of discomfort, so you can soothe that edge and know how to do that in real time in the real world."

2. Taking modifications

Taking modifications of a pose is totally fine -- except when it's not, Brown says. "I encourage students to find their own enhancement or modification of a pose. It's also OK to take creative yogic license, for example, to replace Upward-Facing Dog with Cobra. That does NOT mean going to Handstand or taking a seated twist while we're in Warrior II," she explains. "It's poor etiquette -- yoga is a collective and dynamic practice, and you're an individual within the collective. Your vibration and actions have an impact on the people around you, and you have to be responsible for your how your energy impacts the space. It requires tapas (self-discipline) to be responsible for your actions within your environment -- another tool to be practiced on the mat and taken with you out into the world. This also applies when you have to leave class early -- be sure to let the teacher know, and position yourself near the back of the room. It's about being respectful of the environment, the teacher, and the people around you."

3. Cleanliness

When you you come to yoga class, you want to be as clean as possible to show respect for the practice and for your fellow students, Brown reminds us. "The Sanskrit word refers to purity and cleanliness. Here, it applies to the simple act of washing your feet before getting on the mat, being mindful of body odors and excess perfume as well as excess sweat. We're supposed to sweat in yoga, but just like when you sneeze you cover your mouth, you don't want to spray sweat all over the room. Try placing a towel over your mat and using another towel for your face and hands," she recommends.

4. Loud breathing

If you sound like you need to "get a room," you might be breathing just a little too loudly in class, Brown says. "I cue people to unhinge their jaw a lot, because of all the tension we hold in the jaw, and to exhale through the mouth, but some people sound like they are getting hot and heavy or should 'get a room,' which is distracting," she explains. "I encourage students to express themselves, but with awareness of others. This is about respecting the collective sangha, or community." Same rule also applies when you unroll your mat (no need to make a lot of noise like you're flipping a sheet). "When you unroll your mat and it has a dramatic snap to it, think of brahmacharya, which is usually thought of as celibacy, but in a bigger sense in means to not waste your energy on non-important thoughts/actions. In other words, it means don't drain your energy and deplete yourself by being loud and overly active."

5. Cell phones

It seems like an obvious "don't," but some students do check their cell phones during yoga class, Brown says. "Some students will prop their cell phones up next to their mat. Others will record the class without asking, which is stealing (asteya). It's OK to tell a teacher you're on call at work if you need your phone next to you, but sometimes it's about breaking a samskara, or a habit, and simply unplugging. If you're Shazaming the song the teacher is playing, you're not totally present, you're not practicing mindfulness, and you're hijacking your own practice. Take a little tech fast."

5 "need-to-knows" for the traveling yogi

# data[].attributes.body
"Most yogis have a natural sense of wanderlust, an attitude for adventure and feet that can’t quite stay in the same place for too long. Travel is a way for us to explore our practice through new perspectives and expand on our experiences off the mat."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sitting for long periods of time can pose a serious health risk to your body. Joint pain and decreased blood flow is not the ideal way to start your next holiday. To make sure your body is ready for adventures the moment you get off the plane, practice these simple poses while you're in the air...

Baby back bend
Come to sit at the edge of your chair. Place your hands directly behind your hips. Inhale as you expand from the chest. Take five deep breaths here with your gaze forward then slowly tilt your head back, pushing your throat forward. Remember to keep your shoulders away from your ears.

Simple spinal twist
Sit upright in your seat. Inhale as you twist to your right, bringing your left hand to your right knee, and your right hand directly behind your right hip. Engage your stomach muscles and, with every exhale, twist further to your right. After eight deep breaths, repeat on your left side.

Bring your mat with you
Make the commitment to your practice before you even get on the plane. By bringing along your yoga mat, you will be much more likely to prioritise your practice. Lay it out on your hotel floor before bed. This will serve as a simple visual reminder that your practice is ready for you when you are. If you travel often, I would suggest investing in a lightweight travel mat.

Be culturally aware
Make sure you are sensitive to the culture of the place you are visiting. Yoga tights and a sports bra may not be the most appropriate attire in your new surroundings. Western yoga practices are very different to Eastern traditions and, as a yogi, it is best to educate yourself so you may respect the practice in each destination you visit.

Best practice, of course, will depend on where you plan to lay out your mat. If you have booked into a private retreat or only plan to practice in the seclusion of a studio or hotel room, you will have more freedom in your attire. If you plan on practicing on any dirt-road that you come across, or in ashrams and religious places you pass, remember to be mindful of your etiquette on the mat.

Find your tribe
The best thing about yoga is that it is a global community. You can hop off a plane and find a community of yogis ready to practice with you. So do a bit of research before you head off, and find your tribe!

Practice letting go
Travelling can really take you out of your comfort zone. From unstable schedules, unfamiliar environments and unexpected turns, travelling does not always give us time and space to practice. If you missed a practice, let it go. If you can only squeeze in a sun salutation, let that be enough. Focus instead on other elements of yoga: mindful breathing, Pranayama or meditation.

Just breathe, be in the moment and enjoy exploring!

The increasing popularity of yoga around the world means you won't have any trouble finding new and gorgeous locations to enjoy from your downward dog. And even if you've never stepped foot on a yoga mat, you might be surprised to discover a yoga retreat is exactly what your mind, body, and soul have been craving.

Ready to get started on your yoga adventures? Don't miss these five beautiful places to practice around the world:

1. Blue Osa Yoga Retreat and Spa, Costa Rica

Blue Osa will always hold a special place in my heart. It was one of the most memorable places I visited on my first trip to Costa Rica. It was where I later participated in a 30-day yoga teacher training immersion program. And it is where I one day hope to lead a yoga retreat of my own.

Blue Osa is located in one of the most pristine and preserved places of all of Costa Rica, often referred to as the country's last remaining 'Wild, Wild West': the Osa Peninsula. As you go for walks on the secluded beach or lounge by the pool, you can expect daily encounters with scarlet macaws, monkey families, and colorful toucans.

But not only does Blue Osa boast a coveted location with ample wildlife, the retreat center also offers fresh farm-to-table cuisine, eco-friendly spa treatments, and the most beautiful open-air, ocean-view yoga studio I've ever encountered. If you're looking for a place to truly escape from it all, then this haven in Costa Rica is for you.

2. Pure Yoga, NYC

If you prefer the concrete jungle to the actual jungle, then look no further than a trip to New York City. Yoga is extremely popular in the city that never sleeps, and you'll have no shortage of studios from which to choose.

On our most recent visit to New York, we opted for a visit to Pure Yoga. The moment we entered the doors, we felt a wave of calmness sweep over us. Though it's conveniently located in the East Side, you'll feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle around you. At Pure Yoga, you can expect a spa-like atmosphere, complete with lounges, well-equipped locker rooms, and eucalyptus-scented towels.

There is a variety of classes available every day, ranging from hot power flows to guided meditations.

3. The Yoga Barn, Bali

In many ways, The Yoga Barn is what began my yoga journey. We had just arrived in Ubud, the spiritual center of Bali, and I felt a compelling urge to practice yoga as much as I possibly could. We rented a room from a small family just outside of the city center, and I bought my first ever ten-class yoga card.

If you're going to begin practicing yoga, The Yoga Barn is one great place to do it. Created by its founders for "the sole purpose of bringing together community and giving back to the island of Bali," there are classes, workshops, and events for all levels and backgrounds. The surrounding rice paddies and rich culture of the region certainly don't detract from the overall experience.

4. Grace Cathedral, San Francisco

Yoga might have been developed in ancient India, but Grace Cathedral is showing that people from all faiths and backgrounds can gather to practice. Every Tuesday evening, Darren Main (one of the most amazing yoga teachers I've had the opportunity to practice with) leads a gentle yoga sequence for all levels inside the vast and gorgeous cathedral. It's the perfect opportunity to tune in to your inner-self in a uniquely beautiful and spiritual place.

Of course, while you're in San Francisco you can also use the opportunity to check off iconic sights like the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, the marina and the trolley cars.

5. Greece

Greece is a destination that's been hot on our radar for quite some time. Though we've yet to make it there ourselves, we can think of no better way to experience the country than via a yoga retreat! Pelagos Hotel Oia is famous for its peaceful seclusion and renowned organic Mediterranean cuisine-two perfect complements to any yoga getaway! And though the hotel isn't known as a yoga studio, you will find yoga retreats and teacher training happening there.

To get the most out of your Greek yoga escape, pair Oia with a visit to Silver Island Yoga. This retreat includes accommodation in traditional whitewashed, blue-shuttered houses and excellent views of the privately owned island. Gentle rolling hills, magnificent olive groves, and picture-perfect coves are what you can expect to explore when you're not moving through your sun salutations.

You can't go wrong with a yoga and wellness vacation anywhere in the world! Explore a new place and come back feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to take on whatever life throws you!

"The spiritual practices taught in The Yogi Code are the principles and codes that will unlock and reveal the pathways to the next levels of transcendence and the invisible kingdom of the extraordinary. This level is where we act from our intuitive nature and not so much from our intellectual mind. In other words, we not only live by using our body and mind but we gain access to much greater powers to put toward our life’s loves and pursuits, making them much more purposeful."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you're wondering whether you can really become a yogi, the answer is this: Anyone can become a yogi. The only difference is that a yogi lives not only by society's laws but lives and is guided by universal spiritual principles, written and taught by the ancient sages-the spiritual scientists and philosophers of their time.

While modern scientists use outer matter to conduct experiments and to do studies to arrive at theoretical conclusions, yogis use their own body and mind as a lifelong experiment and prove their results through self-realization and personal experience. Life becomes a grand science project with a higher goal and purpose.

Through practices to control the body, breath, senses, and mind, yogis can start to remove the veil that separates their mind from their higher self or soul. These practices are so subtle and powerful that they help transcend the body and mind into super-consciousness.

The spiritual practices taught in The Yogi Code are the principles and codes that will unlock and reveal the pathways to the next levels of transcendence and the invisible kingdom of the extraordinary. This level is where we act from our intuitive natureand not so much from our intellectual mind. In other words, we not only live by using our body and mind but we gain access to much greater powers to put toward our life's loves and pursuits, making them much more purposeful.

Using yoga to illuminate the soul.

I wrote The Yogi Code so we could all have the same essential tools that these ancient masters developed through centuries of practice and realization, passed down from generations of yogis to my yogi and from me to others. Once considered "secret knowledge," these seven universal laws are available to anyone who is ready to choose a new way of life-to illuminate your soul's purpose-promising harmony, success, and joy. These rewards are the outcomes, the fruits of your yogic life, that flow out of your conscientious practice and actions. As with anything in life, the more we practice, the better we get and the better the results.

The Yogi Code is an inspirational book to give you confidence and remind you that there is a greater universal plan than just the day-to-day life we are living. But inspiration is only the theoretical part of the practice-a beacon that shines a light, guiding and uplifting your mind and heart to show us the possibilities.

Making progress through practice.

All the inspiration in the world will not make us achieve something. When we break an arm, we don't get better simply by lying in bed and thinking positive thoughts. Progress and healing come through the practical guidance and rehabilitation the doctor or natural practitioner prescribes, so we can strengthen and learn to use our arm again.

The yogi code core practices are the foundational grounding practices for your body and your mind to be balanced while you interact with the world. My mission is also to give you daily living practices to use as the need arises and to apply when the situation calls for them. When you make them a part of your daily life and lifestyle, you start to live as a yogi and move beyond your ordinary power.

Taking control of your breath, speech, and actions.

Controlling faculties such as your breath, speech, actions, and senses bring your mind and body under your control, so you can move inward and create what is truly beautiful and meaningful. You build success from the inside out. This way you shine like the rare diamond that you are at the very core of your being, illuminating every step you take in life.

Once you start to live more as a yogi, your whole life will change beyond what you thought possible. Our personality, environment, work, relationships, and even some of our friends will change. This is all part of the process of transformation. But I know from my own experience that this will be a welcomed adjustment and be energizing because life will have improved beyond all the expectations, and a vibration of feeling dynamically alive will take over from within. The yogic path offers an exceptional journey that can lead to great power and fulfillment. It's like no other journey we will ever take.

Much love.

Jasmine är 27 år och utövar yoga varje dag och har gjort det de senaste 7 åren. Hon är en inbiten ”yogi” och anser sig vara på en avancerad nivå när det kommer till själva utövandet. Hon älskar att resa och har alltid med sig sin yogamatta på resan. När hon reser vill hon gärna hitta nya och unika platser att kunna utöva yoga på.

# data[].attributes.body
Jasmine befinner sig på resa i norra Spanien, hon har inte tidigare varit här och skulle vilja hitta en unik plats att utöva yoga på. Hon öppnar appen ”Uniqe Yoga Travel” och ser på kartan att det finns en plats ca 2 km ifrån där hon befinner sig. Platsen har fått betyget 4/5 stjärnor, hon kan se en bild från platsen och hon ser att det är en strand. Hon startar ”vägvisning”, tar sin matta och promenerar mot platsen.

Robin är på resande fot och befinner sig på Bali, han reser ensam och har träffat många nya bekantskaper på resans gång. Men han nu vill han träffa någon i närheten som han kan utöva yoga med. Han öppnar appen och loggar in, via mobilens GPS kan han se hur många som finns i närheten. Han väljer att söka efter den som är närmast och får en träff. Då startas en chatt och han skriver till personen och frågar om de ska yoga ihop. Han väljer även att lägga till fler yogis i konversationen för att få med fler yogis.

"When we practice gratitude we allow ourselves to fully move into the present without fear or hesitation."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Oh, the present moment. Filled with so much opportunity and love. A space in time that is forever constant and always changing. Yet we don't allow it to just be. It's there 24/7 and we don't utilize it, we take advantage of it.

Sometimes the moment brings up the past and it brings up the future. Rather than constantly dwelling on your past or future, learn from them when the time is necessary, but don't dwell on them. To be in the moment is to be fully engaged in whatever the task is in front of you.

Here are 6 tips on how to live in the moment:

1. Breathe

Our breath is the most present aspect of all. Anytime you feel your thoughts taking over, notice yourself getting caught up in the drama, or feel like the world is closing in on you, just close your eyes and breathe.

Whether you're at work or at the market, take time to notice your breath. Stop and just breathe. Take 10 deep inhales and exhales and remind yourself of what is real, and what is present.

2. Get Organized

Being organized takes a lot more off our plates then we realize. When we are organized, whether it's with our work life, home life, or social life, things flow more easily. Our mind is not stuck in one or the other because there is a balance when we are organized.

My work life requires me to be organized. I am a special education teacher by day, and a yoga teacher by night, both requiring a great amount of study, preparation, and time. When I am not organized with one, everything becomes too overwhelming.

Make several lists of all the different parts of your life that require time and organization (work, home, kids, bills, school, etc.). Get a planner, plug it into your calendar on your phone, leave Post It notes everywhere. Do whatever you need to organize the parts of your life that require it.

3. Practice Gratitude

Every morning when you wake up, write down several new things that you are grateful for, say a prayer, meditate, do yoga, or breathe, but do something in honor of all you are grateful for.

Practicing gratitude is a great way to enter the present moment. When we take notice of and realize all of the things we should be grateful for, the little bumps in our week are not as severe.

When we are grateful for having a job considering the large population that does not, sitting in traffic in the car we can afford because of that job isn't too bad. When we can afford to pay our bills and buy groceries without having to think twice, standing in a long line at the market isn't too horrible.

When we practice gratitude we allow ourselves to fully move into the present without fear or hesitation.

4. Look Up

In a society that has their eyes glued to their phones, look up once in a while. Feel the wind and warm sun on your skin, notice the leaves swaying, the shapes that clouds make. A couple times a day, just look up.

Life is happening all around you 24/7, even when we are obsessing over things we can't control. It's there, you just need to look for it once in a while.

5. Choose Love

When a moment in the day requires action from you, choose love.

When we choose love, it means we took the time to analyze what is going on rather than acting so quickly. It means we took time to weigh the options of what will be the right way to handle this. When we choose anything other than love, we are released from the present moment. We are no longer dancing in the magic of now.

To choose love means to choose this moment.

6. Play

Whether it's for 5 minutes or an hour, find time to laugh and play! Laugh, jump, cartwheel, sit and read part of a book, watch the clouds roll by, but do something playful for your soul.

If there is anything I learned about working with kids, it's that play is essential for all life. We need to play. We need to do something that our soul will enjoy.

Playing doesn't need to be a physical activity, play is just a term for having some fun. It might be curling up on the couch to watch a show, going to yoga, having dinner with people you love, reading a book. Whatever your soul desires, allow it to have some playtime.

When we allow ourselves to let go and live, we allow ourselves to be completely free of what is no longer serving us. Living in the moment is loving life just for being alive. There is gratitude, a lightness, and magic to your existence.

So step outside and take in the morning sun on your face, observe your thoughts, get down past the surface of everything and go deep into the core of your existence. That's where you'll your find the answers to what you need to let go of and start living.
