My body needs exercise.
I have experimented with multiple types of sports but the only forms of exercise that actually stayed with me are swimming, dance and yoga asana.
Because exercise for the sake of exercise is simply boring for me.
I love swimming because of this deep sense of merging with nature through the water element while in motion.
I am passionate about dance as a form of expression.
Yoga asana is way beyond stretching; it simply is a potent tool of manifestation and liberation if you know its secrets.
I would never suggest that everyone needs the same level or type of exercise.
Each one of us have their own temperament and needs that need to be addressed and urges that need to be balanced.
It is very common though that people who do need the exercise the most also slack the most; present company included. 😊
One of the specific conditions which require exercise to improve circulation is water retention, fluid retention or edema. Swelling in extremities, stiff joints, weight fluctuations, feeling sluggish and feeling bloated are some of the typical symptoms of fluid retention.
They may be caused by hormonal imbalances, high salt intake, side effects of medication, protein deficiency or simply by standing in a position for too long.
As I am preparing for a European summer, I would like to get rid of some of these symptoms myself. Here is a short and effective yoga program for fluid retention that works like magic!
If you have difficulties with any of the techniques, please remember that I always try to provide variations. To replace the flow, you may try the chair variations in this video and opt for a longer performance of legs up the wall instead of the inversions.

The Goddess brought so much light to my life these days.
Right after the Navaratri Retreat invoking Maa Bagalamukhi; a straight up shoot of mental clarity, activation and creativity followed up.
Especially at a challenging time with so many unanswered questions about what will happen tomorrow; a certain heaviness and anxiety can easily creep in.
That is exactly the time when Her magic touch is needed.
Now, this is your chance to tap into it!
Secure your spot HERE on my FREE online workshop "10 POWERFUL WAYS TO BREAK BAD RELATIONSHIP PATTERNS" on 12th of May, 1-3pm AEST.
This will be a beautiful introduction to Her mysterious ways with very practical tools.
You will get Her guidance to embrace chaos and conflict through breath-work and guided self-reflection, harnessing powers of Kali, the Goddess of Transformation.
You will step into holding space for your loved ones even when everything hurts in the vast heart of Bhuvaneshvari through meditation.
You will bring joy and pleasure into each connection through rituals by invoking Kamalatmika; the playful Goddess of Abundance.
Looking forward to sharing this work with you.
Much love
Dijan
