Are you pregnant and looking for a fantastic exercise to help you stay physically fit and healthy? If this is the case then you should consider participating in yoga. Yoga has many fantastic health benefits which can prepare you mentally and physically for the birth of your child. However, it is important you research a little bit about yoga styles to ensure you are practicing safely when carrying a child. Yoga antenatal classes is an excellent way to introduce yourself to yoga whilst pregnant, as you’ll learn about posture stretches which are good for your body and that won’t hurt you. You can also opt for a yoga technique that includes meditation, as this will help you to keep a clear mind throughout your pregnancy and this may help to reduce any stresses. As well as having excellent health benefits, yoga antenatal classes are also a great way to interact with other pregnant women. However, you might be wondering about yoga clothing whilst you are pregnant; however, here at Wellicious we can help put your mind at rest as we offer a range of maternity yoga wear, including maternity yoga pants, so try out our Comfort Wide Pants in Gorgeous Grape. We only offer high quality yoga clothing which is extremely comfortable and luxurious, and all clothing styles are available in colourful styles which are sophisticated and stylish. Our yoga wear ultimately gives you the confidence and the freedom to focus on the yoga practice, instead of feeling uncomfortable in your clothing or unconfident in your skin.

There is no rule that says yoga clothes can only be worn in the yoga studio. Nor would we make one- why shouldn’t you be able to wear beautiful, comfortable clothing wherever you go?

Yoga enthusiasts find that our clothes are just as good for a relaxed Saturday morning at home. As loungewear, our tops and bottoms are superb for use around the house, in the garden, on a walk along the beach while on holiday, or for a chilled-out lunch with friends. Despite feeling so good to wear, there are designs in our catalogue to suit almost any occasion.The overlap between loungewear and casual wear has never been greater. All over the UK, people are realising that looking good doesn’t have to mean being constricted by your clothing. It’s much easier to have a calm, confident, attitude when you feel comfortable in your clothes, and nothing is sexier than confidence.

Many of our yoga clothes are sophisticated enough to be used as office wear. While a pair of yoga shorts would probably raise a few eyebrows in a board meeting, an elegant long-sleeved wrap top is the perfect alternative to a button-down cotton blouse. They can look just as smart and do a lot more to show off a toned body. Next time you buy a top for a yoga workout, put a second one in your shopping basket for casual wear and try it out. Once you realise how comfortable everyday clothes can be, we think you’ll change your whole wardrobe!

On my last trip to China I was amazed when I looked out of my hotel room window early in the morning. I saw graceful images of people gliding through dance-like poses as they practiced Tai Chi. Simply watching them is relaxing. Tai Chi, in fact, is often described as “meditation in motion” because it promotes serenity through gentle movements — connecting the mind and body. Originally developed in China as a form of self-defense, tai chi is a graceful form of exercise that has existed for over 2,000 years.

To do tai chi, you perform a series of postures or movements in a slow, graceful manner. Each posture flows into the next without pausing. Tai chi has more than 100 possible movements and positions. You can find several that you like and stick with those, or explore the full range. The intensity of tai chi varies somewhat depending on the form or style practiced. Some forms of tai chi are more fast-paced than others, for instance. However, most forms are gentle and suitable for everyone. And they all include rhythmic patterns of movement that are coordinated with breathing.

Tai Chi is excellent to:

- Reduce Stress
- Reduce Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Improve Balance
- Exercise
- Increase Emotional Well-Being

I will try it out, as it is a nice change to my yoga and cardio exercise:-).

In winter we all are more likely to get depressed or just be in a bad mood because of the lack of light. Here are some tips to keep your spirits high in these cold and dark days:

Use the bit of light that is left. Even though it’s wet and dark you should take your chance to catch a bit of light winter has to offer.
Go out during lunchtime or for a walk for at least half an hour rather then taking the bus, tube or car. Plan a trip for the weekend; you are more likely to enjoy even harsh days in a new environment. How about a trip to the countryside or the Alps, where you can leave all worries and the bad weather behind you?

You also can change your everyday habits: Make sure there is enough light when you wake up- you will feel instantly better and it’s much easier to get up.
Arrange different sources of light for your living room, light and shadow create a cosy atmosphere.

Try a light meditation. Stand up straight and concentrate on preferably a white wall. Take a couple of deep breathes. When you feel calm and relaxed imagine while you breathe in a bright light in your heart which flows when you breathe out through your whole body up to your fingertips and toes. Concentrate on your inner light getting stronger and more intense with every breath.
