Creepers climb the balconies, and sunlight pours in through open windows, giving the home a warm, peaceful glow. What further catches attention is that his room and curtains also match the airy and nature vibe he has tried to create.The tenant, who painted some of the walls and doors himself, has also added personal quirks, like brewing a different herbal tea every day of the week using herbs from his balcony garden. 'You see the weather, the place... it matches up really well,' he says in the video, smiling.Social media users were deeply moved by the tour, praising the tenant's creativity and passion. Many admired how he transformed a simple apartment into a warm, personal sanctuary filled with greenery and charm.

9 morning stretches approved by a yoga coach to look 10 years younger!
Yoga offers a holistic approach to looking and feeling younger. Debbie Moser-approved morning stretches, including neck rolls, cat-cow, and downward-facing dog, enhance flexibility and relieve stiffness. These exercises mobilize the spine, open the hips, and improve posture. Incorporating these stretches into your routine can promote overall well-being. Want to look and feel younger? No, this is not yet another beauty or cosmetic endorsement, but a holistic approach - yoga . Rooted in ancient wisdom, yoga will help you to look and feel your best, from within. Here are 9 morning stretches that you can do to look 10 years younger. These yoga stretches are approved by Debbie Moser , a Pilates and yoga teacher with over 170K followers on Instagram. Neck rolls Start by sitting comfortably. Slowly rotate your head in a circular motion, moving gently to warm up the neck muscles. This exercise alleviates stiffness from sleep, improving flexibility in the cervical spine and preparing the body for deeper stretches. Do it for 8 reps. Windshield wipers Next, perform windshield wipers, completing five swings per side for a total of 10 reps. From the seated position, let your knees fall side to side like wipers, loosening tight hip joints. This move is particularly beneficial for those with sedentary lifestyles, as it promotes fluidity in the hips. Cat-cow Now switch to cat-cow. Move on all fours, alternate between arching your back (cow) and rounding it (cat). This classic yoga flow mobilizes the spine, eases morning rigidity, and enhances flexibility. Do it for 8 reps. Thread-the-Needle Maintaining the same position, transition to the thread-the-needle stretch, performing four reps per side for a total of eight. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3BHK Transformation Possible for ₹4.5 Lakh?

This stretch is ideal for relieving tension from prolonged sitting or device use. Down-Dog pedals Next in line is downward-facing dog. Pedal your feet 10 times, alternating pressure between heels. This dynamic movement delivers a deep stretch to the hamstrings and calves while engaging the core and shoulders, and will help with both flexibility and strength. Lizard lunge elbow taps Now step forward into a lizard lunge with elbow taps, completing six reps per side. In a low lunge, twist your torso and tap your elbow toward the ground, opening the hips. Moser suggests using blocks under the hands for support if needed. This stretch is great for balance. Lunge to Pyramid Flow The next step is to flow between a lunge and a pyramid pose for six reps per side. To do this stretch, shift from the lunge, straighten the front leg into the pyramid. This will stretch the hamstrings and strengthen the legs. This movement improves posture and alignment. Best Yoga poses to ease your knee pain Shoulder dislocates For this stretch, grab a band, strap, or towel. Holding the prop with both hands, move it over your head and behind your back in a smooth motion. This exercise will enhance shoulder range of motion, which is crucial for maintaining flexibility with age. Do this for 8 reps. Deep squat Finish the morning stretch with a deep squat, holding as long as comfortable. This pose opens the hips, engages the core, and grounds the body. Moser asks to hold this position with ease to maximize benefits. Always seek the advice of your doctor before incorporating any exercise into your routine.
