How would you like to be given the key to more energy and satisfaction and also tone your body and tauten your skin at the same time? Each and every one of us already holds the most efficient key to reaching our goals: discipline.

Goal: Purification and flexibility, to gently wake the body from its winter sleep. And at the same time to get rid of a little extra padding, after all summer is coming again!

Method: dynamic Yoga, also known as Vinyasa Yoga. With easy to do physical, and above all, breathing exercises.

Difficulty level: very easy.

Start: early morning!

Duration: 14 days, approx. 20 minutes each day

Place: somewhere where you have space to stretch out completely.

Preparation: a strong will and enough fluids, for example Carpe Diem Kombucha and Botanic Water. Also a Yoga mat or other soft padding to lay on.

Tip: The individual exercises are also presented in video. Each day a new position is added, each explained in a brief set of steps. The accompanying text will tell you the number of repetitions you should do for each exercise.

Christina Waltner has put together a 14-day program with exercises that basically everyone can do at some point during the day. The best and most effective is however to simply get up 20 minutes earlier and do them first thing in the morning. All the Yoga teachings agree that the morning hours, and in particular shortly before sunrise, is the best and most powerful time of the entire day. The energy that we gain during this time stays with us the whole day and has an intensive effect on our entire being.

So: Overcome that laziness and set your alarm a bit earlier and get excited about having a few moments that are just for yourself. Moments that will leave you feeling balanced and energized and ready to take on the day, and also have the practical side effect of optimally increasing your metabolism for hours to come.

Important for all the exercises: work precisely. It is better to go slow, but exact. To break the morning silence, try putting on some relaxing music and let it play quietly. For example the Carpe Diem Wellbeing-Zone CD (available in stores) with music in harmony with the positive vibrations of planet tones.
