Lyt Daily @lytyogamethod with @lara.heimann “ Angles of the Ankle” Daily Reflection Starting the week of with some foot awareness. It’s encouraging to observe how the sun salutations can feel brand new with a different intention to your practice . Because this practice focused on the feet I was able to open up my ankles to spring off more fluently in my jump forwards to the front of the mat from my downward dogs . I’m a sneaker head and due to my love of aesthetics sometimes I pick beauty over comfortability. Lately I’ve been paying more attention to which shoes can’t be worn in uneven terrain as lately I’m picking up golf balls and realizing the consequences and enjoy my hiking books over everything. Nothing beats barefoot living though, I enjoy practicing on different surfaces from gym floors, carpet, concrete, grass and watching how my proprioception makes adjustment .Anyway shoutout to all my barefoot yogis in the gym. #lytdaily #reflexology #33rdchamberofyoga #33breaths #sneakerhead #plantarflexion #dorsiflexion #yogaanatomy #lytyoga https://www.instagram.com/reel/CPQ2bhKHycS/?utm_medium=tumblr

33rd Chamber of Yoga is based of a concept of self-mastery , self-initiation to explore consciousness . Influenced by 36 Chamber of Shaolin, anatomy , esoteric teachings , religious scriptures and ancient art. The color scheme was influenced by stained glass . I think of the scripture “the body is a temple “ so I go to church everyday . Added a fading color to give it a rustic , ancient feel as if you were looking at art in a temple or Chamber that’s been worn off but standing . The artist added a yellow/gold tint to represent light coming through. Lastly the chakra theme itself layered behind the spine as to peel back another layer . Alignment is the focus of my teaching so it was placed in the middle of the yantra ( a diagram used for meditation) . Sanskrit writing , there’s a Om 🕉 hidden in the picture . Look a little closer .
