Christmas is coming, bringing to all of us joy, harmony but also scent of just baked pastries! Also here at Natural Remedies we are in the festive atmosphere and we have thought to prepare, for the video of today, a really special Christmas recipe, different from the usual, the kariokes! The kariokes are Greek sweets with chocolate and walnuts, really delicious and yummy as well as healthy and prepared with only genuine ingredients. The recipe of kariokes was given to us by a friend from Athens, Iana. You can imagine our surprise when, just become grandma, Iana came to us with twinkling eyes and a tray full of kariokes, each of them wrapped in an aluminum foil to keep its aroma. Well, we liked the kariokes so much that we have thought to share them with you and to make them live in this video, that tastes like friendship, warmness and joy in giving, the values of Christmas.

In the video of today we’ll see a sequence based on the yoga pose of the half moon, particularly beneficial to strengthen the muscles of the legs, to improve the balance and flexibility of the hips and of the spine. You are on your knees, raise the hips and stretch on the side the right leg. Raise the left arm, bend the torso to the right and then go to the left until you are able to touch the mat with your left hand. At the same time raise the right leg. Grab the ankle with the right hand and look over your shoulder. Stay in the pose for some breaths, the leg is pressing against the hand that is contrasting the movement. Return to the initial pose and repeat with the other leg. This is the easy version of the half moon pose. Let’s see the complete asana. You are standing on the mat, bend the torso forward. Bend also slightly the right leg and bring the weight on this leg. Go forward and touch the mat with the right hand. Straighten now the right leg and bring the shoulders on the same line of the wrist. The left arm is stretched towards the ceiling. To complete the asana, raise the left leg.
