Maybe it is because I love that 1992 Erotica album from Madonna.
Or because there’s no way not to laugh at the combination of yoga and a teacher making sexual jokes.
But these yoga videos have got to be my absolute favorite!

These professionally shot videos were the start of a few years of creating yoga videos, which I did side-by-side with my yoga studio in Nijmegen (Netherlands).

You can watch them below or check the playlist I made on YouTube. 
playlist: Erotica Series (4 yoga videos)

Baby M #11: Waiting (Erotica Series) PRO SHOT 2015 | 12 minutes erotica series

Baby M #12 Thief of Hearts (Erotica Series) PRO SHOT 2015 | 7 minutes erotica series

Part 2 of my Erotica album series, teaching you how to open your heart but in A CONTAINED WAY 😀 
None of that offering & surrender stuff which would get you in a lot of trouble if you do that in such an early stage 😉
So stay connected to yourself.

Baby M #14 Did You Do It? (Erotica Series) PRO SHOT 2015 | 11 minutes erotica series

I m reposting my yoga videos from 2015, and these two are awesome!

They are inspired by, or based on, what is called vinyasa yoga or Rock Star Yoga as developed by Sadie Nardini.

She was the first and perhaps only yoga teacher to this day, who really rocked yoga!

You can buy the original Rock Star Teacher Training (2014) by Sadie Nardini on Udemy: 
and
sign up to receive her current offerings Here. 

Terms used in these two morning yoga videos, which I either learned from Sadie Nardini, or she could have said them;
– Darth Vader breathing, which is officially called Ujjaye breathing
– Charlie’s Angel mudra
– Karate Kid asana
– Ninja Lunges

Baby M #9: Ray of Light PRO SHOT 2015 | 11 minute yoga class | morning yoga

Ray of Light is my third yoga video, inspired by Madonna.
Ray of Light is her 1998 album, and also a single.

Baby M #10: Ninja Warrior PRO SHOT 2015 | 10 minute yoga class | morning yoga

Second morning routine, totally rocking it!

As sort of a PS for the Dutch people:
This is what my camera man gave as a description when he uploaded it.
I think there was no way of doing a better job here:
“Suzanne staat bekend als een van de sterkste ninja meesters. In deze les gaat ze in op het gebruik van werp sterren en nunchucks.”

 

Try one of these two videos for a good night sleep!
Or combine them for a 30 minute class.

Included in this blog post: The story of how I became a Madonna fan!
And what her most beautiful song is.
It is one you will almost certainly not know, unless you own a specific album of her.

Baby M #7: Bedtime Stories PRO SHOT 2015 | 18 minute yoga class | lunar yoga

Lunar yoga means, the yoga of the moon; A wonderful sequence before bedtime.

Here s the pdf for reference
https://mmmyoga.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/baby-m-7-bedtime-stories.jpg

The first video title of many, with a Madonna reference!
Bedtime Stories was Madonna’s 1994 album. The album was the moment I started buying her music again, after I had dropped out of that shortly after she became famous. In 1986, when she started her (less outspoken) Live to Tell era.

Technically I did not have to wait until 1994 to become a Madonna fan again;
Late 1990 she started her Erotica era, with the release of the single Justify My Love. But in 1990 I was still knee-deep into Guns N Roses.
So although her 1990 sexual outspokenness, her Blonde Ambition tour, and her appearance in the movie Dick Tracey (all in 1990) were plenty reason to start following her again, it was for identity/ artist reasons only.
I wasn’t into her music necessarily because my heart was still with Guns N Roses.

Baby M #8: Mer Girl PRO SHOT 2015 | 12 minute yoga class | lunar yoga

Mer Girl is the second video, inspired by Madonna.
It was the final song on her Ray of Light album. With lyrics about the loss of her mother, this is without a doubt the most intense, heartbreaking song Madonna has ever written.
During my career as a yoga teacher, I frequently used it for the long relaxation at the end.

fan made video Mer Girl – Madonna:

The song is of otherworldly beauty.

Lunar yoga means, the yoga of the moon; A wonderful sequence before bedtime.

2015 | 40 minute yoga class, intermediate, pro shot

practice note:
Just like yesterday’s share this is an intermediate practice, meaning not for beginners. I myself am starting with yoga again, by doing these videos from my own database:
Because I did not do yoga the past few years, not counting a single practice here and there, the videos from this post would technically no longer be suitable for me.

But I take the exercise as presented, as a “suggestion” and that works really well.

Baby M #04: Party Tricks PRO SHOT 2015 | 14 minute yoga class | intermediate

To answer your questions:
Yes, take it VERY easy on the drinking when trying these out.
And BYOB means bring your own beer. Or booze. Or brownies. *

*2021 I didn’t notice where BYOB was used in the video, maybe in the end screen, but copied the description from 2015. Because being informed on what BYOB is, is always good 😉 

Baby M #5: Twist & Turn PRO SHOT 2015 | 19 minute yoga class | intermediate

for reference pdf OUTLINE :

And yes, that half split (exercise 4) is indeed missing on the left side.
Sorry! 😀

Baby M #6: Fire & Water PRO SHOT 2015 | 8 minute yoga class | intermediate

video not visible? Just click it anyway! Right on the grey box!
Or go straight to YouTube.
I’m experiencing hiccups as these videos are suddenly shook out of hibernation.

Only two exercises, great before sleeping.

NO REST FOR THE WICKED

This video is retrieved from the archives.
I ve quit teaching yoga and am diving deep into the subject of yoga, the self-practice which I totally lost.
And I m working my way towards rocking yoga again as I m calling it Rock Star Yoga!

I think yoga can (and perhaps should?) be experienced as big as rock concerts.

But first I have to start from scratch and reinvent yoga.

Unlocked: My YouTube debut 2015 | 35 minute yoga class, intermediate, pro shot

In 2015, I worked with the team from Rebel Yoga, to create about 15 videos for my YouTube channel. They’re very professional, and the sound is awesome.
Here are the first three.
If you combine them you get a 35 minute class.

Baby M #1: No Yoga Yoga PRO SHOT 2015 | 13 minute yoga class | intermediate

My first ever yoga class is online!
And ps of course it’s TOTALLY YOGA.
Don’t get fooled by my love for rebellious titles 😉

pdf OUTLINE :

Baby M #2: Loud and Strong PRO SHOT 2015 | 18 minute yoga class | intermediate

Loud: do funky stuff with your breath! Strong: prepare for some sore muscles tomorrow.
And at 9’55” that’s me pretending to be unbothered by my paper flying away. And 1 second later I completely forget to dip the shoulder to the inside of the knee. So much for keeping my cool.

All sequences (done properly) available in the pdf OUTLINE 😉 https://mmmyoga.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/baby-m-2.jpg

Baby M #3: Ujjaye & So Ham PRO SHOT 2015 | 5 minute breathing exercise

My favorite! Breathing with the sound of the ocean…. say bye bye to stress with this soothing meditation.

MY NEW YOGA PATH 2021

I m now yoga free and on a quest to find my yoga again –
