Sport and relaxation to get back into our routine stress-free

October is usually the month of the year when we decide to include new lifestyle habits, followed by January (after the Christmas holidays), so this is the time when the most gym memberships are registered and other activities related to sport and healthy living.

Summer is always a time of excesses in which we skip the diet day in and day out, which makes it easy to gain some kilo than others during the most idle days of the year. Also, if you're one of those people who spends their holidays at the beach or the pool, lying around and not doing much physical activity, you may be more than a little scared when you step on the scale once you've recovered your routine.

So we encourage you to gently regain your physical tone with activities that are not only healthy for your body but also for your mind.

Yoga: Yoga brings expansion in all fields of human existence. Its practice ensures a firm body, a stable mind and a benevolent spirit. There are different types of yoga, from the most relaxing varieties (such as kundalini, Iyengar and hatha) to the most cardio (such as vinyasa, power yoga or Anusara). It is an age-old discipline with multiple benefits:

  • Improves your flexibility

  • Helps you lose weight
  • Improves your rest
  • Increases your inner peace

  • Eliminates stress

Pilates: It is a discipline that is still very fashionable today, based on the development of the internal muscles to maintain body balance and give stability and firmness to the spine. Its main benefits focus on:

Tai Chi: It is a martial art that is already practiced by millions of people because of the benefits that offers, both physically and mentally. Its movements develop slowly and gently, harmoniously combining the three foundations on which it is based: body movement, mental concentration and conscious breathing. Its benefits are related to balance, strength, flexibility and muscular endurance, and include:

  • Help control asthma
  • Improve capacity aerobics

The costume to develop these disciplines has to be comfortable, elastic and resistant. Very important aspect since these are activities that require a lot of concentration, so the success of your practice will depend on this.

Made with viscose to give them extra softness, and in black and gray colors with touches of fluorine, they are made with a curly touch on the outside that give our feet a lot of well-being, since they are very loose and light, ideal for complement your most yogi outfits.
