Contrary to popular belief, yoga and weightlifting go hand in hand.
I have prepared a 30 minute hatha yoga for weight lifters vid for you.
Muscle cells accumulate lactic acid due to heavy weight lifting. Yoga can help to flush lactic acid out from overworked muscles. Adding a yoga routine a few times a week along with weight lifting can help prevent injury and reduce recovery time. All you will need is your mat.

In today’s video I’ll be talking you through a short vinyasa based practice.
Vinyasa flow is deeply rooted with pranayama (breath). As we flow through poses our breath guides our movement. In most Vinyasa based classes there is a series of poses strung together, which differs from other yoga styles such as Hatha, where the idea is to focus on one pose at a time.
In almost all of traditional Vinyasa classes there is a series of sun salutations.
All you will need is your mat and your beautiful self.

I’ve put together a deliciously healing yin yoga routine for you to help with back pain and tight hips!
There is no better way to do this than with yin yoga since the practice is more about flexibility and getting into all our cold tissue such as the ligaments and fascia.
All the poses are done on the floor so feel free to sit on a blanket.Take your time getting into each pose and allow yourself to melt into it slowly…
… Most of all enjoy!

I love practicing yoga outside and I love practicing yoga using the support of a wall. So in this video I did both!!!!
Using the wall allows us to focus on our posture and alignment. It also helps with poses which require balance.
We are going to start with standing positions and finish lying down on the floor.
Stay hydrated and have fun!

I’m suffering from a serous case of neck and shoulder stiffness today.
Today’s practice is a little on the selfish side for me however roundness of the shoulders is so common.
Not only will this practice help with that but it will lengthen and release the neck, shoulder and chest muscle.
Have a strap, bolster and brick ready to go. Most of all, enjoy the much needed time for yourself.

In today’s practice we’ll be opening our third chakra – the solar plexus – which is located between the navel, and just below the chest.
It’s yellow in colour and it governs any issues dealing with action, determination and confidence.
In Sanskrit this chakra is known as Manipura – The River of 7 Jewels.
Well be focusing on our core and mid back. Planks, downward facing dogs and breathing of fire.
Make sure you drink lots of water when you need to and have fun!!!!!

The day I shot this video I was having a lazy Sunday, so I though “why not do some yoga on the sofa”!
We’ll be stretching our whole body. we start seated on the couch, then lying down on the couch and using straps, getting down on the floor with our legs up on the sofa and finishing with a lovely savanna. Have a strap, pillow and bolster ready.
This practice is great for anyone with an injury, cold, or perhaps you’re just feeling lazy…and there’s nothing wrong with that!

With Spring coming our way, I figured we would do a Kunalini yoga breath of fire for detoxification session.
It’s short but intense especially with all the breath of fire we’ll be using to energize, clean our blood stream, strengthen our core and improve our overall state of mind.
Remember to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and if you start to get dizzy, or fee uncomfortable, then please use deep breathing or just stop altogether. Breath of fire takes a long time to get used to.
Be patient with yourself and just keep at it. Yoga, whether Kunalini, Yin, Hatha or Vinyasa is meant to make you feel good. 🙂

In this yoga session we’ll be focusing on spinal strength, flexibility and mobility.
Our spine assists with bends, twists, folds and our ability to lift heavy objects.
It’s sepaerated into four basic regions:
7 cervical vertebra (neck)
12 thoracic vertebrae (upper & mid back)
5 lumber vertebra (low back)
Sacrum (lower back and tailbone)
Yogis like to say that spinal flexibility is the gateway to youth and vitality.
In this half hour class I will show you forward folds, spinal twists, back bends and fluid spinal movement.
I hope your back feels amazing afterwards!

Build a strong foundation by practicing these basic Hatha yoga poses.
Through standing poses we improve balance, establish core strength, build overall strength and stability.
While in these positions, focus on working from the ground up. Start at your feet, through the legs…core…chest…shoulders, all the way to the top of the head.
Don’t worry if you shake that’s a good thing! It means your doing it right!
Enjoy and let me know what you think!

We’re getting “Yin” deep into our liver and gallbladder.
The liver controls muscle health and it is the primary chemical factory of the body. It controls the health of tendons, hands, feet and nails. Your gallbladder stores bile which it releases into your small intestines to breakdown fats from foods. Therefore, it’s so important to keep these organs healthy.
Yin yoga is based on the Taoist tradition and Chinese medicine.
In this yin yoga practice we’ll be focusing on hip openers(my favorite 🙂 🙂 🙂 ) and side body stretches. Keep in mind that well be holding each position from 1 to 3 minutes so get as comfortable as you can and try not to fight against the stretch, the more you let go the more flexible you become.
Have lots of props ready to go and enjoy the release!
Namaste!

I’m trying something new in this video, I’ll be giving you a brake from my constant talking and flow through a full body Hatha yoga routine in silence.
I’m hoping that this will give you the chance to simply focus on your breath and your yoga practice with no distractions.
I will take you to quieting your mind, a short warm up, some sun salutations, standing poses, bringing you back to the floor for some core work, a short cool down and finally into savasana.
Let me know what you think of this yoga flow and if you would like to see more like it by leaving me a comment below.

Welcome to Yogaliciouse Life. I’m Marta Justyna, a fitness and yoga instructor in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I have participated in and taught many different workouts throughout the years. In my personal experience, yoga is hands down the most beneficial, both physically and emotionally. This is why I am so passionate about sharing yoga with you my readers. Whether you have never stepped on a mat before, or you are a seasoned Yogi, you are welcome here! Let me help you make this life so deliciously yours!
I could sit here and tell you about how yoga has given me more flexibility or physical strength, but instead I will share 5 ways in which yoga has helped me travel through life beyond the matt. Now keep in mind, all of these are still very much a work in progress.
As we get older we get to know our selves better, what we like and don’t like, how we want to conduct ourselves. However, yoga helps guide us to get to that place quicker and on a deeper level. It forces us to ask the really hard questions such as: Who am I? A woman, mother, fitness instructor…what’s underneath all that? What are you here for? What kind of footprint do you wish to leave once you’ve gone from this earth? You see…yoga is not just a workout it’s a philosophy; a philosophy that helps you to realise how and where you fit in this crazy world of ours.
Now this is probably the hardest out of all five. Like I said…a work in progress. We all have things we don’t like about ourselves. Things we want to change. With my yoga practise I am slowly beginning to focus on my talents, instead of my downfalls and imperfections. Just imagine how boring the world would be if we were all good at everything. What the heck is perfection anyway?? All we can do is use our talents, and yes we all have one! To help each other and continue to work on things we would like to change. Be patient with ourselves and each other. This brings me to….
It truly is a virtue! Have you ever stood or sat in a very uncomfortable yoga pose you couldn’t wait to get out of? Waited impatiently in line at the grocery store? Skipped to the end of a book? As a society we are programmed to get to the finish line quickly and to always be going. Meditation and yoga is designed to help us enjoy the journey just as much as we enjoy the accomplishment. Take a pause, stop and smell the roses, if you will. The way we feel in specific poses tells us a lot about the way we are going through life. Are you enjoying the asana or are you eager to get to the next one?
In just about every fitness routine it’s about tightening, contracting, speeding up, etc. Yoga is all about lengthening, breathing, stretching and opening. It is the rebel of the fitness world and I love that! It spills into real life in so many aspects; welcoming other people, new experiences, nature, and different ways of doing things. I find this holds true especially in chest openers such, cobra, boat or cow arms. I like to think this because we are opening our heart chakra in these poses where we hold our ability to love.
If it wasn’t for teaching and practicing yoga I would have never had the courage to start this blog. Enough said!!!!!!
I hope you enjoyed reading my first blog. Please leave a like and your comments below. Also watch my Yogalicious Life YouTube instructional yoga videos. I’m sure you’ll enjoy them as well.

In this video I want to challenge you to participate in a 10 minute meditation with me.
Yoga is preparation for meditation and the benefits of meditation are endless. You can sit on your mat, chair or couch, but you don’t need to.
Sit in a comfortable cross legged position. Breath in and out through your nose counting to 5 on each inhale and exhale. Pause during each inhale and exhale. If you experience any thoughts going through your head, don’t worry that’s normal, just keep focusing on your breath.
Enjoy your meditation journey.

In today’s Hatha yoga flow we’ll be focusing on our core and gluts.
Core strength is so important-it is our power house. Not to mention how deeply connected our core is to overall balance.
Our gluts help to stabilize the knees. Very helpful tool especially as we age.
All you need is your mat and to have fun.

In today’s video we’ll be meditating for 5 minutes.
The benefits to meditation are countless, not mention it is the foundation of any yoga practice. It’s basically like taking your brain to the gym. It allows you to think clearer, open your imagination and calm your nervous system down.
Sit in a comfortable cross legend position with your forefinger to thumb.
The more you practice meditation the better.

Release and strengthen your hips with me, through this Hatha yoga routine.
Due to our sedentary lifestyle, most of us hold a lot of tightness through our hips and gluts, and as a fitness and yoga instructor I can honestly say yoga is by far the best way to open all these tight areas.
All you will need is your mat.
