Came here to post the same comment❤ love yoga with Adrienne...transformed my body. I also do pilates with move with Nicole. Love the RUclips community workouts
Yoga by Adriane on RUclips she’s fantastic! I’ve been following her for years now my daughter is practicing yoga with her. She’s fun and humorous and easy to follow. Very soothing and man she can kick your butt.
I would take the blush! Even if I didn’t know who you were. I would be so flattered that you saw me and thought, I want to give this to this girl because it would look so perfect with her outfit. Don’t let her reaction deter you and your future kindness.
THANK YOU 😅 I totally understand the potential of her being creeped out by random stalker strangers shoving orange at her but I hope that you are on the receiving end next time 😂😢
Hello Allana, same for me here, find it to be so « women supportive » , so rare with all this competition society puts us through 🙂 don’t let that change your kindness 😘 kisses from a long term sub’ from Switzerland 🇨🇭 You are the best !
Hi Allana! Just passing on a word of caution I got from my Optometrist on Lumify. This is not an everyday eye drop. It's good if you are taking photos, special occasions, etc. It works really well for that. You may have what they call "dry eye" in which you just need lubricating eye drops that you can get from a drug store and use everyday.
Something to note with lumify is (I think) it works by constricting your blood vessels so you’re not supposed to use it daily (I think that’s what my friend said, she worked for an eye doctor) BUT because it restricts blood vessels you can use it on zits with a q-tip to make them less red/visible!
Awesome vlog per ushhh😍 As a yoga teacher, I’d recommend you to go to a Vinyasa or Hatha class. Typically, Vinyasa is more dynamic (moving with the breath) and in Hatha you hold the poses for longer, but the poses are pretty much the same. You’d get sun salutations, warriors etc! And as many other has written, Yoga with Adriene is awesome ❤️ I did my teacher training in Bali hehe so I definitely had my eat pray love moment, it’s absolutely amazing! Highly recommend YogaUnion!
avoid classes with the word yin in the class title, look for the word flow as well as the above stated, yoga is the shit & i hope you become a regular practitioner 💜
I really love this style of vlog, it makes you feel really relatable seeing you go through all the silly little in between moments of life. It makes us feel so much closer to you, like we are just a coupla gals gabbing as good friends!
Whenever I have a body lotion that I don't really get along with, I try to use it on wet skin right out of the shower. I feel like this helps massively with the product sinking into the skin and it also amps up the moisture. This way I'm usually able to use any body lotion (I'm the same as you with the white residue) 😊
For proper flexibility and stability - I also recommend Pilates. But classical Pilates specifically, not the cardio-style-Pilates (which I also love, but doesn’t make the same difference in my flexibility and stability). My teacher does time with feet, ankles, calves every time with me and I can tell how much of a difference it makes in my whole body. I was using my body wrong for so many years!
You kill me girl 😆 I think the type of flowy stretchy tree posey and warrior yoga that you would love is called Vinyasa yoga! Amazing new quest to go on- I haven't done the yoga teaching course yet, but you have resparked my interest ♡♡♡
Girl down dog app is the best for yoga. You can customise each workout based on what area you want to target, how much time you have and what kind of yoga you want to do. It’s unreal
Allergies can be super rough! I wish people would be more understanding of wearing perfume and cologne on airplanes and places that you can’t just leave. Not being able to breath is terrifying! But I’m glad you’re going to get further testing to be safe ❤ Ps. I’m loving the rug! She’s gorg 💕
I’d recommend power vinyasa or ashtanga vinyasa yoga. These are those flow type classes that follow a specific structure (chaturanga, warrior poses, chair, balance poses, etc.) I did YTT almost 10yrs ago and was the best decision for me to deepen my practice. I found an amazing teacher trainer locally in the states and did the 200hrs across 9 months (classes were on the weekends). You learn anatomy, physiology along with a certification. You can totally do this locally (or Bali too haha… whatever calls you!) I studied jivamukti & anusara yoga. Loved the experience and became so stronger along the way! Best of luck on your journey. I think you’d be amazing!
I also suffer with exercise induced asthma, and had to get chest X-rays and do a breathing test before they would prescribe me an inhaler. But, I’ve found that regular use of the inhaler has really helped, and regular cardio has improved my lung capacity (which I’m sure you already have with your workout routine). All this is to say that I get flare ups with allergy and/or weather conditions (possibly all those hot yoga sessions fatigued your lungs as I find humid air is the hardest to deal with), but the consistency with the meds should provide some relief. Thank you for your video, and all the tireless work you put into these vlogs. Hope you feel better very soon! xoxo
Definitely noticed the new mic and I love it too! It's great for when you vlog, keep the camera propped up somewhere and turn away to do whatever - I can still hear you! lol 😁😃
Oh dear Allana! I’m glad you’re doing better. I hope that you feel better quickly and get more rest. Lately, when I was tired and stressed, I got a eye twitch called myokimie. Sometimes we just need to listen to our bodies and rest. 🙏🏻🌸
Peloton has really expanded their yoga classes - my husband and I have been utilizing those a lot lately and have been pleasantly surprised at their level. Definitely pushes you if you want to try that out next!
The Peloton yoga classes are PHENOMENAL. I’m a certified yoga instructor and I do them every day. They have every type of yoga you could possibly want. Dennis and Anna are my two favorite instructors with incredibly intuitive flow sequences.
I was also diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma when I was younger! I imagine that forest fire smoke in the air/seasonal allergies probably exacerbate things too lol
I couldn’t wait until the end of the video! I love your rug SO MUCH! I live at the beach and my home is very coastal! That rug would be so nice in my home! I love having some color.. So many homes I see online are all gray or all white, etc.. Nice soft coastal colors make me so happy! 🥰🥰
I’m very into fitness (used to compete in bodybuilding, teach aerial yoga, taught group kettlebell classes, and personal training) and it’s so hard to find the right balance of everything BUT incorporating yoga regularly into your routine is extremely beneficial for your long term mobility & health as well as just injury prevention. So definitely keep doing it! But pay attention to the class descriptions! Stretching was likely yin (which I loooove for mental health benefits) but when you’re looking for flow you’re likely looking for vinyasa. So just be sure to read the descriptions and if you need to google it that’s good too! Personally I prefer in-person yoga because it’s really hard for me to mentally focus when practicing at home. I just can’t quite get the same mental & emotional benefits at home. But as others recommended- yoga with Adrienne on RUclips is great! Peloton yoga is decent too.
when I started going to yoga classes I was pretty confused by what was what, like you, but I listened to a random podcast episode that explained the various types of yoga and somehow that clicked. I was able to distinguish what was what when reading class descriptions beforehand and making sure I wasn’t signing up for things I didn’t want to! Depends on the studio but they should have a class description and it should say whether it’s a yin class (long holds for deep stretches), vinyasa (my fave flow cause it’s stretch, strength and balance), ashtanga, iyengar, etc but also some studios are introducing more strength/ power into some of their classes where you end up doing an intense core set, or jump squats lol Don’t give up though, it only gets better! ✌️
I love that mat you bought. It's so pretty. A sage green colour would look nice on that wall, if you painted it and would go with the tones in the mat /rug. I seen Lydia millen using it in her house recently and it's a great colour.
Your eye drop technique is just *chefs kiss* I have done the 'look up and drop in' technique and look like a fool with half the droplets running down my face 😂 You look elegantly hydrated
We love Picante….she obviously doesn’t follow social media as it’s been everywhere lol! Love the new rug, beautiful. Hope you feel back to full health soon x
If you want to make sure your yoga class has flow and movement, I recommend either looking for/ confirming it's ashtanga yoga. It's a lil more athletic than typical yoga but very rewarding and easy to build a routine around
Hi Allana! I’m a RYT200 with about 500 hours of teaching experience. Sounds like the style of yoga you’re looking for is vinyasa and the class you talked about taking here was maybe yin. When booking a class look for vinyasa or “flow” and ask the studio if they don’t state which kind! Explore different styles and build a foundation to your practice! A yoga teacher training program is truly a beautiful and transformative thing ❤ would love to see you experience it!
Core power yoga app has been awesome for my husband throughout the pandemic when we couldn’t go to hot yoga. I think it might be the Vinyasa yoga you are looking to try. I liked how the app broke down core poses and had different levels. Might be good to try this at home and getting more comfy in the different poses and sun salutation a and b. Excited for your yoga journey!
At first I didn't like the microphone. But now it's starting to grow on me as you are finding your best use with it! Also I agree with everyone else. You need to go to a Vinyasa yoga. I find this is my favorite flow. Good luck!
@@allanaramaa definitely look for Vinyasa style classes and she has lots of 30 day challenges that are 10 minutes a day which is a great way to start getting into yoga.
Hi! I’m from your area and have gone to the same studio that you’re talking about. The yoga FREEDOM FLOW classes are the ones that you might want to try. It’s typically a vinyasa-flow type class so you are moving for most of it. I hope this helps ❤
for the yoga classes, you should try booking "vinyasa" classes which are normally more sun salutations, poses and flow 🧘♀while "yin" classes are normally more stretching and breathing. i'd double check the class names and go from there!
Ok for the long empty wall in your closet room I’d be really careful with colored wallpaper since you’re filming in there. A colored wallpaper might cause a color cast on your face because of reflective light! I’d either stick with a neutral patterned wallpaper or maybe do a gallery wall of art? Famed prints and paintings. It’ll take longer to curate that then just doing wallpaper but I find that adding art to the home just makes it feel so much warmer and more complete.
I think the best sugar alternative is allulose. It is naturally found in maple syrup, figs and molasses but has virtually no calories. It almost tastes exactly like sugar with zero bitter after taste like Stevia. Supposedly, it might actually slightly lower your blood sugar as opposed to raising it like other artificial sweeteners. I can't speak to that, but it does taste almost like sugar to me, but not as sweet. It's fairly new so maybe it's too soon to know it's real cons, but I like it and I can get it at the grocery store.
Love this vlog and thanks for putting it up even though you were sick. I hope you feel better now. ❤ I think anyone who has been watching you over the years would appreciate a Picante being gifted but that girl probably had no idea! 😂 I have been doing hatha yoga the last 5 years and love it. I can’t stress the importance of a good teacher. It can be life changing. 🎉
So yin yoga is slow, stretchy, holding poses for a long time. Vinyasa is the flowy yoga. Hatha is kind of in between, you're still flowing through poses but holding them for a lil longer than Vinyasa.
Yoga teaching trainings also can just be for someone to go deeper with their practice. I did mine and don’t know if I will teach but fell in love with more of the basis of yoga and the teachings. Hahahaha I think for yoga you’d like vinyasa flows (that’s the most breath to movement/different poses). Hatha yoga is more hold the standing poses and slower longer poses. I think you did a yin class which is super restorative!
You’re definitely looking for Vinyasa or Hatha yoga girly! Hot yoga is quite a separate thing and was created by Bikram Choudhury in the 70s (so it’s also called Bikram yoga) (terrible human though btw), it’s more about getting a workout in than stretching/holding traditional yoga poses. Excited to see where your yogi journey goes!!
Try finding a place that does ashtanga yoga!! But a beginner course because you eventually end up doing the pattern by yourself memorized and your teacher helps you in the positions as you go
Dear Lan, hope you’re doing better now 🤍 This was a lovely vlog, not ashamed to admit I miss you ever since EDM. Love the rug so much I think it’s absolutely gorgeous, however it might not be doing much for the acoustics bc of its size. Wallpaper would be great but also do you have curtains in the closet room? Also if you’re up for layering rugs, a nice neutral hotel wall-to-wall carpet with this beaut on top would help a lot. Ly Lan, Picante is ❤️🔥
Sounds like you want a hot vinyasa flow class. Usually a sequence of poses including sun salutation flows and standing and hand balances, can be quite challenging and sweaty if you take a moderate to advanced class, and usually ends with a sequence of deep stretching that helps you to move through the stiff muscles and joints with the support of the heat.
You want to look for Vinyasa Flow - you could probably do anything between beginner & intermediate. I didn’t like Yoga With Addrienne as much, but I do really like Yoga With Kassandra. She explains the significance of different poses and gives modifications if you’re range of motion is limited or if you have an injury. Plus, Kassandra just seems to have a much more natural presence on camera than Adrienne - not as scripted. 🤷♀️ Hope that helps!
Tbh Im so paranoid I wouldnt have taken the blush as well 😂 but just because Im Psycho and in my head I would make up the worst scenario. That there is a tracker in the blush or some poison and someone wants to hunt me down. 😂 But please dont let that ruin your kindness!! ❤
I think the type of yoga youre looking for is any vinyasa class, so if the studio(s) youre trying have class descriptions you should try any that say vinyasa flow
Hi Allana, I hope you’re feeling better soon ❤ Re the yoga, maybe try an Ashtanga class where the sequence is always the same. It’s typically 1h30 class - there are a couple of studios in Vancouver. You probably won’t find it at a gym. You’d want a ‘led’ not mysore-style class. Cx
Re: black coffee: try adding salt. Can’t confirm because I don’t drink coffee, but I’m in an intermittent fasting group and many swear that salt in the coffee kills the bitter taste. Just passing along that nugget of info! Also: I, too, hate the silk pillowcases. My skincare sticks to it and it’s just annoying. That’s annoying your little silk turban didn’t pan out either! Boo!
Love the new rug! You’re right the colors are so happy!! In regards to the wall next to the closet… how beautiful would it be if you use textured wall paper in a warm, neutral tone. I bet the rest will come together after that lolol.
If you're looking for a classic yoga workout look for vinyasa/power yoga classes! Yin is the stretching. Most yoga studios should have descriptions of their different classes when you go to book but they might call them other things!
I have that same hair wrap! It does the same thing to me and i thought it was just tight on my big ol’ head but I’m so relieved that you said it was tight too.
I’m sorry to hear about your about your asthma flare up. I have mild asthma and I typically do not have to take medication on a daily basis. However, the smoke/pollution from the Canadian wildfires triggered a full blown asthma attack at the beginning of July. A two week coarse of Advair has worked great, however the doctor recommended at least another 3mo. Just thought that I would throw that out there. Btw, I scheduled an appointment with a pulmonologist back in March and my appointment was just yesterday. It just so happened that I had an asthma attack while waiting to be seen.
Look for restorative yoga or yin yoga too. It's long stretches held in one position for several minutes. It may also include props with sandbags to help you relax into the stretches. I think you would enjoy it as a nice balance to your current workouts. ❤ 🧘🏼♀️
Hi Allana!! I love that Red Lipstick from Sephora! Very pretty on you!! I'm so sorry, that you've been having some trouble with your Asthma or Allergies. I've had Asthma since I was born. So, 57 years of dealing with it. Mine has always been a problem. I'm on daily "puffers", and I have a Nebulizer, a breathing machine. It definitely can come and go throughout your life. 2 of my Sons have it, and one has had problems with his all of his life, and the other hasn't had any symptoms since he was younger. I really hope you feel better very soon!! Your new rug is so pretty!! I live in Florida, and I love Flamingos. They're so unique. This was a great video!! Have a wonderful week!! You and Dejan take care!! ❤
Oh my. Sweet sweet Allana….hope you’re on the mend gal. 💗💗💗 love that rug! 🦩🌿…can’t wait to see what wallpaper you choose, I love that you take your time with pieces. Do you have a Pinterest page for room ideas? I absolutely love body oil and can’t wait to try the new caudalie moisturizing fig oil, how have you liked it? Maybe you should get a hair bonnet, I’ve been thinking about getting one too. I do sleep on satin pillowcases, but I’ve always got my hair in a bun.
Crazy. I’ve been dealing with dyspnea (the feeling of not getting enough air/can’t catch breath/working hard to breath) since 2020 on and off for chunks at a time. I’m finally getting it looked at…been doing a few tests, etc. Its crazy how many different causes it can be related to. Best of luck!
Maybe try Ashtanga yoga. It's less about a flow sequence and more about building strength and space in poses at your own speed. It's great for abso beginners to learn the poses and build a solid foundation!
Hey Allana! I would highly recommend doing pranayams (especially bhastrika, anulom vilom, kapal bhati) for lung health. These are essentially breathing exercises and are a part of the ancient Indian philosophy of yoga. (It's probably my bias as an Indian but the West has taken up yoga selectively while sleeping on pranayams). "Pran" in Sanskrit literally means life. And you wouldn't necessarily need any class to get an idea of pranayam, RUclips videos will give you an idea. Start off slow with the breaths and do it according to your own pace. 5-10 mins of each pranayam is also sufficient for a start. These practices don't show instant results but for sure have a significant impact on the overall health Wish you the best ❤️
I am curious about how the Rugable rug holds out. I was thinking about getting a set for my living room and entryway, but read some reviews that the patterns seemed too "digital" and "pixilated". I like that you can throw them in the wash. I have three big dogs and that would be a game changer.
It sounds like you would like a vinyasa yoga class or ashtanga yoga class they are both very dynamic and fluid forms of yoga. I myself have practiced vinyasa for 6 years and love it. ❤ Hope that helps
yoga with Adrienne in RUclips is the best - she has several 30 days of yoga to start learning all the poses and I love her personality
I can 10000% confirm
Came here to post the same comment❤ love yoga with Adrienne...transformed my body. I also do pilates with move with Nicole. Love the RUclips community workouts

Hello Allana, same for me here, find it to be so « women supportive » , so rare with all this competition society puts us through 🙂 don’t let that change your kindness 😘 kisses from a long term sub’ from
Switzerland 🇨🇭 You are the best !

We are gabbing 🥹🥹💖💖
The Picante story killed meeee hahah lmao. I’d be flattered and take the blush but I’m glad she didn’t because we got that story
Sos 😂😂😂
Whenever I have a body lotion that I don't really get along with, I try to use it on wet skin right out of the shower. I feel like this helps massively with the product sinking into the skin and it also amps up the moisture. This way I'm usually able to use any body lotion (I'm the same as you with the white residue) 😊
omg when you lifted the rug up from the mat my mind went 🤯 THIS IS THE TECHNOLOGY I EXPECT FROM 2023!!!
For proper flexibility and stability - I also recommend Pilates. But classical Pilates specifically, not the cardio-style-Pilates (which I also love, but doesn’t make the same difference in my flexibility and stability). My teacher does time with feet, ankles, calves every time with me and I can tell how much of a difference it makes in my whole body. I was using my body wrong for so many years!
I like the mic when you’re holding it more than when it’s on your shirt! Sound is so crisp

I think the best sugar alternative is allulose. It is naturally found in maple syrup, figs and molasses but has virtually no calories. It almost tastes exactly like sugar with zero bitter after taste like Stevia. Supposedly, it might actually slightly lower your blood sugar as opposed to raising it like other artificial sweeteners. I can't speak to that, but it does taste almost like sugar to me, but not as sweet. It's fairly new so maybe it's too soon to know it's real cons, but I like it and I can get it at the grocery store.
Oh wow noted 👀👀🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love this vlog and thanks for putting it up even though you were sick. I hope you feel better now. ❤ I think anyone who has been watching you over the years would appreciate a Picante being gifted but that girl probably had no idea! 😂 I have been doing hatha yoga the last 5 years and love it. I can’t stress the importance of a good teacher. It can be life changing. 🎉
So yin yoga is slow, stretchy, holding poses for a long time. Vinyasa is the flowy yoga. Hatha is kind of in between, you're still flowing through poses but holding them for a lil longer than Vinyasa.
Your ‘feck off’ had me totally cracking up!! I also say that so much when trying to semi jokingly tell someone to get lost 😂 😂
Hope you’re feeling better we miss you but your health it’s always first ❤ best wishes and hugs ✨💖
Allana- your videos are the highlight of my day. Literally my heart goes like this 🤸♀️ so please know you are so appreciated.
Omg thank you 😭😭🫶🏻🫶🏻🥹🥹🥹
I love the idea of wallpaper on that wall!!
If you're wanting a yoga class with more poses and a flow, try a vinyasa studio or vinyasa-style classes! Good luck :)
Omg I love the rug! I am obsessed with pink flamingos!
Yoga teaching trainings also can just be for someone to go deeper with their practice. I did mine and don’t know if I will teach but fell in love with more of the basis of yoga and the teachings. Hahahaha I think for yoga you’d like vinyasa flows (that’s the most breath to movement/different poses). Hatha yoga is more hold the standing poses and slower longer poses. I think you did a yin class which is super restorative!
Also the makeup I need a video on it looked it incredible
You’re definitely looking for Vinyasa or Hatha yoga girly! Hot yoga is quite a separate thing and was created by Bikram Choudhury in the 70s (so it’s also called Bikram yoga) (terrible human though btw), it’s more about getting a workout in than stretching/holding traditional yoga poses. Excited to see where your yogi journey goes!!
So sorry about the troubles, Allana. Take good care. 🤗
Try finding a place that does ashtanga yoga!! But a beginner course because you eventually end up doing the pattern by yourself memorized and your teacher helps you in the positions as you go
Dear Lan, hope you’re doing better now 🤍 This was a lovely vlog, not ashamed to admit I miss you ever since EDM. Love the rug so much I think it’s absolutely gorgeous, however it might not be doing much for the acoustics bc of its size. Wallpaper would be great but also do you have curtains in the closet room? Also if you’re up for layering rugs, a nice neutral hotel wall-to-wall carpet with this beaut on top would help a lot. Ly Lan, Picante is ❤️🔥
Sounds like you want a hot vinyasa flow class. Usually a sequence of poses including sun salutation flows and standing and hand balances, can be quite challenging and sweaty if you take a moderate to advanced class, and usually ends with a sequence of deep stretching that helps you to move through the stiff muscles and joints with the support of the heat.
You want to look for Vinyasa Flow - you could probably do anything between beginner & intermediate. I didn’t like Yoga With Addrienne as much, but I do really like Yoga With Kassandra. She explains the significance of different poses and gives modifications if you’re range of motion is limited or if you have an injury. Plus, Kassandra just seems to have a much more natural presence on camera than Adrienne - not as scripted. 🤷♀️ Hope that helps!
But even for an in-person class, just look for classes described as “Vinyasa Flow”. ❤
Tbh Im so paranoid I wouldnt have taken the blush as well 😂 but just because Im Psycho and in my head I would make up the worst scenario. That there is a tracker in the blush or some poison and someone wants to hunt me down. 😂 But please dont let that ruin your kindness!! ❤
Same, I don't blame her! You never know these days :(
I totally get it hahaa just a deeply awkward moment to walk away from sos 😂😂😂
I love your vlogs, btw this mic is amazing 🤩
Made me chuckle the way u said fak off!!! Love the rug. Not what i expecred but really suits the room. Maybe artwork will help the sound
I am here for this! Who needs sleep when you need to catch up with your girl Lana! Lol
yay! so happy to see holiroots hair oil is a part of your haircare ritual 🐯❤
Loved your story on the attempted giveaway of your picante blush, made me laugh out loud whilst on the treadmill at the gym 😂😂
I think the type of yoga youre looking for is any vinyasa class, so if the studio(s) youre trying have class descriptions you should try any that say vinyasa flow
Hi Allana, I hope you’re feeling better soon ❤
Re the yoga, maybe try an Ashtanga class where the sequence is always the same. It’s typically 1h30 class - there are a couple of studios in Vancouver. You probably won’t find it at a gym. You’d want a ‘led’ not mysore-style class. Cx
Re: black coffee: try adding salt. Can’t confirm because I don’t drink coffee, but I’m in an intermittent fasting group and many swear that salt in the coffee kills the bitter taste. Just passing along that nugget of info! Also: I, too, hate the silk pillowcases. My skincare sticks to it and it’s just annoying. That’s annoying your little silk turban didn’t pan out either! Boo!
From your description of your yoga class “dreams”, maybe what you’re looking for is a flow yoga class ☺️
Love the new rug! You’re right the colors are so happy!! In regards to the wall next to the closet… how beautiful would it be if you use textured wall paper in a warm, neutral tone. I bet the rest will come together after that lolol.
Wow, it's really good. It's very attractive and the AD is very interesting
Bonnets! Silk bonnets for sleep are the best!
If you're looking for a classic yoga workout look for vinyasa/power yoga classes! Yin is the stretching. Most yoga studios should have descriptions of their different classes when you go to book but they might call them other things!
I have that same hair wrap! It does the same thing to me and i thought it was just tight on my big ol’ head but I’m so relieved that you said it was tight too.
The mic is so good!
Vinyasa flow may be your yoga of choice! You move quickly through different poses rather than long holds.
I’m sorry to hear about your about your asthma flare up. I have mild asthma and I typically do not have to take medication on a daily basis. However, the smoke/pollution from the Canadian wildfires triggered a full blown asthma attack at the beginning of July. A two week coarse of Advair has worked great, however the doctor recommended at least another 3mo. Just thought that I would throw that out there. Btw, I scheduled an appointment with a pulmonologist back in March and my appointment was just yesterday. It just so happened that I had an asthma attack while waiting to be seen.
That rug is so White Lotus I love it lol
It totally is 😂😂
Look for restorative yoga or yin yoga too. It's long stretches held in one position for several minutes. It may also include props with sandbags to help you relax into the stretches. I think you would enjoy it as a nice balance to your current workouts. ❤ 🧘🏼♀️
What happened yesterday, no longer matters. Today is another day. Get back on the right track and move closer to your dreams. Yes you can do it.
Hi Allana!! I love that Red Lipstick from Sephora! Very pretty on you!! I'm so sorry, that you've been having some trouble with your Asthma or Allergies. I've had Asthma since I was born. So, 57 years of dealing with it. Mine has always been a problem. I'm on daily "puffers", and I have a Nebulizer, a breathing machine. It definitely can come and go throughout your life. 2 of my Sons have it, and one has had problems with his all of his life, and the other hasn't had any symptoms since he was younger. I really hope you feel better very soon!! Your new rug is so pretty!! I live in Florida, and I love Flamingos. They're so unique. This was a great video!! Have a wonderful week!! You and Dejan take care!! ❤
I highly recommend Vinyasa Yoga - It's a flowy sequence of yoga poses. I think you'd like it!
Oh my. Sweet sweet Allana….hope you’re on the mend gal. 💗💗💗 love that rug! 🦩🌿…can’t wait to see what wallpaper you choose, I love that you take your time with pieces. Do you have a Pinterest page for room ideas?
I absolutely love body oil and can’t wait to try the new caudalie moisturizing fig oil, how have you liked it?
Maybe you should get a hair bonnet, I’ve been thinking about getting one too. I do sleep on satin pillowcases, but I’ve always got my hair in a bun.
I believe taking a vinyasa style yoga class rather than hot yoga might be the class you’re looking for 🧘🏻♀️ 😊
The rug is beautiful!!
Crazy. I’ve been dealing with dyspnea (the feeling of not getting enough air/can’t catch breath/working hard to breath) since 2020 on and off for chunks at a time. I’m finally getting it looked at…been doing a few tests, etc. Its crazy how many different causes it can be related to. Best of luck!
So curious to know what the cause of yours ends up being! I’m so sorry that it’s been so long 😞😞😞
@@allanaramaa me too! appreciate you🫶🏽
Maybe try Ashtanga yoga. It's less about a flow sequence and more about building strength and space in poses at your own speed. It's great for abso beginners to learn the poses and build a solid foundation!
Hey Allana! I would highly recommend doing pranayams (especially bhastrika, anulom vilom, kapal bhati) for lung health. These are essentially breathing exercises and are a part of the ancient Indian philosophy of yoga. (It's probably my bias as an Indian but the West has taken up yoga selectively while sleeping on pranayams). "Pran" in Sanskrit literally means life. And you wouldn't necessarily need any class to get an idea of pranayam, RUclips videos will give you an idea. Start off slow with the breaths and do it according to your own pace. 5-10 mins of each pranayam is also sufficient for a start. These practices don't show instant results but for sure have a significant impact on the overall health
Wish you the best ❤️
If Allana came up to me on the beach offering me a picante blush I would of dropped dead
🥹🥹🥹🥹🧡🧡🧡🧡 I appreciate you and needed you in that moment hahaha
hope u feel better soon!!
I ❤❤❤❤❤ the rug. So sweet. It has a French chateau feel.
I am curious about how the Rugable rug holds out. I was thinking about getting a set for my living room and entryway, but read some reviews that the patterns seemed too "digital" and "pixilated". I like that you can throw them in the wash. I have three big dogs and that would be a game changer.
It sounds like you would like a vinyasa yoga class or ashtanga yoga class they are both very dynamic and fluid forms of yoga. I myself have practiced vinyasa for 6 years and love it. ❤ Hope that helps
The Dior Rosewood blush looks so good on you! Love it
Thank you ❤ she’s a beaut!!
I hope you feel better Allana!
For bitter coffee try a pinch of salt it really works! Love your videos
