Koa’s first beach day . Growing up in Sweden, this time of the year is typically dark, gray and filled with rain, or if you’re lucky, a bit of snow. It’s quite depressing and my heart goes out to all the Swedes especially right now as restrictions has gotten tighter because of Covid. . With 300 days of rain/year one gets conditioned that if the sun is out- you will be outside to savor every little ray of light it’s basically a crime not to be outside if the weather is goo...d. . So, living in Southern California is quite the opposite in terms of the weather. The sun ALWAYS shines here and the feeling of having to be outside is still engrained in my mind. It makes me feel anxious to be inside if the weather is nice (basically every day). So having that said, we spend a lot of time outside and I do feel incredibly fortunate to live here. Especially now during this pandemic. . Yesterday we had a whopping 27C degrees (82F) and we took the boys down to the beach to watch the sunset. Pretty amazing to have a beach day in January! I’m definitely not in Stockholm anymore . . #swedishvagamom #beachdayinjanuary #getoutside #beachboys #momlife #boymama See more

n e w a r t i c l e a l e r t The Inertia Take a breath. Take it in. Let it go. Take care. Check out my talented friend Amanda Kriebel's latest article. Photos by yours truly ... Posture is key for our breathing! Otherwise the hunched appearance also known as excessive thoracic kyphosis limits rib expansion. And it also compresses the diaphragm, which is the primary muscle for breathing. The more thoracic flexion or kyphosis, the less lung capacity - up to 30% less! A good ‘ol lunge or lung-ing is one of my favorite yoga poses. It reverses all the sitting, driving, Netflix watching that we do because it opens up our hips and psoas in extension, develops stamina and endurance of our quads and glutes plus it expands our chest, lungs and shoulders. And it feels so good! Better posture = Better lung capacity = Better breathing = More oxygen = More energy. In case you missed my previous posts about the lungs - read the full article + a breathing practice in link attached! + : Micaela Malmi Photography : Swell Property https://www.theinertia.com//try-this-simple-conscious-br/
