I had the pleasure of practicing with Linda Yoga yesterday in West Somerset, facing out onto a beautiful lake. Linda let me know that yoga teachers and students everywhere are practicing today and focusing the practice on world peace. I joined in with this movement today, and you can, too!


1. Seated position
I like to start my session by finding my breath. I take a deep breath through the nose and exhale through the mouth. I do this about five times until I feel relaxed and ready to continue with my routine.

 2. Downward Dog This pose targets the upper and lower body at the same time. There is pressure on the upper arms but you can also feel this pose through the legs. I usually transition out of child pose into downward dog, and then into plank.

2. Plank
Doing the plank pose is great for your abdominals. People who plank regularly can achieve a six pack! It's also amazing for the upper body. I am not great at plank, as it requires lots of upper body strength. If you're new to yoga, practicing plank and timing yourself from 1 minute is a great idea. The better you get, the longer you can time yourself for.


My sporty kit is from H&M's women's sport range. They are super comfy and in a lovely stretchy cool fabric.
