Hi everyone! Claire here 🙂
Today let’s talk about sport. By the way we have a competition for you guys!!
Sport… it’s been a long time you and I haven’t met. More seriously, I am not really the sporty kind, I used to be though. It’s been a few years now that I’ve been thinking about beginning a new sport: yoga.
I encountered yoga for the first time in highschool, at gym class. I loved the meditative aspect of it. It would be like the perfect sport for me, because I’m quite lazy and not really endurant. It’s a sport that’s rather easy to practice (I mean that you can basically practice at home) and the amount of equipment you need is quite minimal. Some sport clothes obviously (not even necessarily shoes), and a yoga mat. You’ll find my yoga wishlist at the bottom of the post 😉
But for any new activity, it can be tough to begin. You don’t really know where to start and you feel a bit lost when you see the results of research of “yoga poses” on Youtube.
Well, I have good news for you, friends! There is now this really cool Yoga Guide by Zalando.
There are training videos and interviews of yogis from Europe. So inspiring!
If you wonder what kind of equipment you should get, or what kind of clothes you could treat yourself with to be the most stylish student at yoga class… Now you’ve got everything! 🙂
Coucou tout le monde! C’est Claire 🙂
Aujourd’hui, parlons sport. Et avant toute chose, nous avons un concours pour vous!!
Sport… Ça fait un moment que toi et moi, on ne s’est pas vus. Plus sérieusement, je ne suis pas très sportive, mais je l’étais. Cela fait plusieurs années maintenant que je songe à commencer un nouveau sport: le yoga.
J’ai pratiqué le yoga pour la première fois au gymnase (lycée), en cours de sport. J’ai adoré l’aspect méditatif de ce sport. Ce serait d’ailleurs le sport idéal pour moi, parce que je suis plutôt paresseuse et pas très endurante. C’est un sport “pratique”, dans le sens où on peut le pratiquer chez soi, et l’équipement requis est minimal: des habits de sport (évidemment) -mais même pas nécessairement de chaussures- et un tapis de yoga. Vous trouverez ma wishlist en mode yoga à la fin de l’article 😉
Toutefois, comme pour toute nouvelle activité, on peut avoir de la peine à commencer. On ne sait pas vraiment par quoi commencer et on se sent un peu perdu face aux résultats de la recherche “poses de yoga” sur Youtube.
Eh bien, j’ai d’excellentes nouvelles pour vous! Il existe maintenant ce guide de yoga super cool fait par Zalando, dans lequel vous trouverez des vidéos d’entraînement et des interviews de yogis européens. Très inspirant!
Si vous vous demandez de quel matériel vous avez besoin, ou quels habits vous pouvez vous offrir pour être l’élève la/le plus stylé(e) de votre classe de yoga, voici les réponses! 😉
Zalando organise un grand concours dans lequel vous pouvez gagner:
1 x 1 Voyage à Los Angeles
10 x 1 Abonnement annual à Yogaia, une plateforme en ligne proposant des cours de yoga
5 x 1 Abonnement à Pukka (tisanes bio et )
5 x 1 Lots ‘Your Superfoods’ (vitamines and minéraux)
Pour participer à ce concours, il vous faut simplement poster une photo de vous dans l’une de ces 10 positions de yoga sur Instagram avec le hashtag #zalandolovesyoga hashtag et le tag @zalando jusqu’au 9 Octobre 😉
Bonne chance! xx

I've been into yoga for awhile now 🙂 I discovered it back in high school and feel in love with its healing benefits. I haven't been doing it lately, as I've been so busy with schoolwork. I really need to work on making more time for it in my daily routine! Thanks for this post girl! 🙂 xx, Hannah

Yoga <3 I used to practice 3 times a week but It got to much expensive so I had to stop. And I can't find the motivation to do it by myself at home…
Hopefully this post will help me get back at it ! 🙂
