Our destination of today is where the sky meets the sea and the white and soft sand like talcum powder dives into the crystal water, while lush palms and banana trees grow as far the eye can see. We are in the archipelago of Zanzibar, in the Indian Ocean off the shores of Tanzania. Sunbathing on these dreamy beaches of Zanzibar restores even the most tired people, and fills you with joy to enter the local main market, where we really find everything, from meat to fish and spices. We also like to disconnect from the vibrant confusion of life and colors and dive into the underwater silence of the sea around the island. But be careful, the currents in Zanzibar are strong and, in fact, we struggle to return to the boat. But never mind, the show, with colorful fishes, starfish, corals and sea urchins, paid off for the effort! And then, as an evening cuddle, we experience a truly unmissable beauty ritual, the singo. This ritual belongs to the Swahili culture and is dedicated to the brides the day before the wedding. It is a scrub prepared with natural ingredients able to make the skin luminous and fresh. Let’s taste a bit magic and beauty of Zanzibar by creating at home this exotic ritual that becomes a powerful beauty treatment! Singo, the scrub for a luminous skin – Chop up a tablespoon of dry rose petals and 1 tablespoon of dry jasmin flowers. Add a tablespoon of whole cane sugar and pour two tablespoons of rose water. Stir with a spoon. Complete with 2 drops of ylang ylang essential oil and, if you have at home, 3 drops of sandalwood oil, massage the skin of the face with this scrub twice a day.

In today's video we will practice a yoga sequence based on the seated forward bend poses. These asanas are very beneficial since they allow you to stretch the muscles, prevent sciatica but also help improve digestion by stimulating the work of the liver with a massage on the internal organs. You are sitting on the mat. Your legs are stretched out in front of you. Raise your arms and, keeping your upper body straight, bend forward trying to reach your ankles or feet with your hands. Raise your torso and repeat trying every time to keep the position a little longer. Then hook the big toes with your index and middle fingers and bend forward. You are sitting on the mat. Bend your right leg so that the knee falls outward and the foot is close to the pelvis. Lean forward trying to reach the left foot, the back remains straight. Repeat on the other side. Place your left foot on your right thigh. If the knee remains on the ground and does not rise, continue, bending forward and trying to reach the right foot with your hands. Otherwise do not continue and repeat the sequence seen up to here. Then do the exercise with the other leg. Let's see the yoga position of the turtle. Bend your knees and spread your legs. Put your arms under your knees. Slide your heels on the floor and rest your forehead on the mat.
