Day 12 of #showusyour26 is triangle(trikonasana!) This is the master posture of the standing series and is said to work every muscle, joint, tendon, internal organ together! 👉👉Pro Tips👈👈 1) Keep the bent knee directly in line over the knee, and don't let the knee shift in. You should be able to just see your big toe over your knee. If the hips are tight, allow the back hip to come forward a bit. 2) press the heels down through the floor for stability. You should be able to do this on a sheet of glass! Or on two posts, as Adrian is doing here!

Day 11 of #showusyour26 Is standing separate leg stretching pose! Really long name! The eventual goal is to get the top of your head touching on the floor in between your feet with a straight spine and legs locked. So once you are down there, #mulabandha that abdomon, contract thighs, roll forward. Then like a turtle poking his/her head out of their shell, widen your collarbone and stretch your upper spine. Eventually the spine will be straight, like @adrian_hummell is demonstrating here! #hotyoga #yoga #yogi #ashtanga #vinyasa #pureom #fairfax #dmv #nova #pureomfairfax #flexible #bendy #fitspo #fit #yogachallenge #vegan #paleo #bikramyoga #stopdropandyoga #sdy #cleaneating #yogadude #yogaeverydamnday #bikram

Day 10 of #showusyour26 #yogachallenge is #balancingstick! This posture is a straight spine posture after the forward bend and backward bend before it. It is also a high point of the #cardio portion of the yoga. Lock the knees, lock the elbows, point the fingers, point the toes! And keep breathing!! Really think about elongating the lower spine and shoulder blades. #hotyoga #yoga #yogi #ashtanga #vinyasa #pureom #fairfax #dmv #nova #pureomfairfax #flexible #yogachallenge #vegan #paleo #bikramyoga #stopdropandyoga #sdy #cleaneating #yogaeverydamnday #bikram

And now here's @adrian_hummell for #showusyour26 part 2, #standingheadtknee. Pro tips for parts 3&4. 1) don't rush it! If you're not ready, be patient! 2) exhale as you bring your elbows down below the calf. 3) wait in part 3 as long as you need to. Years even. 4) exhale again and round down, stomach in, touch forehead to knee. Again, keep kicking forward with body weight on your big toe! You did it!! #hotyoga #yoga #yogi #ashtanga #vinyasa #pureom #fairfax #dmv #nova #pureomfairfax #flexible #yogachallenge #vegan #paleo #bikramyoga #stopdropandyoga #sdy #cleaneating #yogadude #yogaeverydamnday #bikram

Day 2 (Part 2) of #showusyour26 is #halfmoon #ardhachandrasana. This is the second half, the #backbend. This posture is so important since the spine is the center of our physical and energy body. Remember to always stretch up from the waist for this entire posture. You want to lengthen your #spine before bending it! Tips for the backbend: 1) Stretch up!! Hands tight to engage the arms. 2) Start bending the upper spine first by moving the shoulders. Use the hands to point to where you want to look! 3) PUSH hips forward to counterbalance! Remember to always breath normally in the posture! @adrian_hummell photo credit to @amanda_yogini #bikramyoga #bikram #hotyoga #yoga #stopdropandyoga #vegan #paleo #yogachallenge #letsgetflexy #yogaeverydamnday #stretch #fitness #workout #healinghearts #vinyasa #ashtanga #flow #sdy #bandha #bachbends #chakra #pureom #pureomfairfax
