Realistic Apartment Cleaning Schedule - Daily, Weekly & Monthly Tasks

Having a strict cleaning schedule has definitely changed my life for the better! I used to procrastinate like crazy when it came to cleaning and then I would feel even worst because of all the dirt and tasks piling up. A realistic approach to my cleaning routine changed not only the state of my apartment but also how I was feeling inside. When people say "you are what you are surrounded by" that's actually true. I feel so much lighter and peaceful once my apartment is taken care of. And dare I say, I actually enjoy cleaning now. Granted not every part of it & not on every day, but mostly I do. I love to take care & cherish things I love and I do love my apartment so it only makes sense for me to take good care of it.

Pilates vs. Yoga - Which is better?

 

Pilates vs. Yoga — Which is better?

Pilates and Yoga both combine mindful movement and low-impact exercises. Practicing Yoga or Pilates regularly can lead to improvements in strength, posture, well-being and flexibility. 🤸🏼 Personally, I have been a fan of both training techniques for years. In this Blogpost we’ll explore which of the two might be better suitable for you and your goals! 🚀

The History of Pilates and Yoga

Yoga originated in ancient India more than 3,000 years ago as a holistic practice connecting body, mind, and spirit. Its earliest mentions appear in the Rig Veda and were later refined into physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation. Today, Yoga is widely practiced in many styles such as Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga and my favorite Yin Yoga! 🧘🏼‍

Pilates is a bit more modern. Developed by Joseph Pilates (a fellow german - yay!) in the early 20th century, it was initially created to rehabilitate injured soldiers and dancers. Joseph Pilates combined elements of yoga, gymnastics, and body conditioning to create exercises that focus on core strength, alignment, and control. Before the Pilates-craze, most studios offered Mat Pilates classes (which are highly effective by the way!). Today there are Boutique Reformer Pilates Studios almost at every block. 👀 And while I do enjoy Reformer Pilates a lot, I have to admit that I find Mat Pilates more challenging (and rewarding 😉).
