This next prep for Hanumanasana is Plank Splits at the wall, which further prepares the back leg and backbending aspect of the pose. Plank Splits looks easy, but requires more flexibility at the front of the thighs. From 3-Legged Dog, look forward and walk the hands back. Keep the top foot on the wall and move the shoulders forward over the wrists. Just as in Downdog Splits, roll the outer hands toward the inner hands and widen the collarbones. Resist overarching the low back by lengthening the tailbone back and slightly down. Stay and breathe, then return to Downdog Splits. Switch sides. #detailanddepth #planksplits #downdogsplits #3leggeddog #hanumanasana #hanumanpose #yoga #yogatherapy #yogaeverydamnday #alignmentyoga #practiceandalliscoming #practicedaily #yogapractice #iyengaryoga #iyengar#yogaforeverybody #fitfluential #instayoga #yogateacher #yogagirl #yogagram #silverlake

Downdog splits or 3-legged dog is a common pose in most vinyasa classes. This variation with open hips and the top leg bent is a forward fold (downdog), backbend (top leg and hip), twist (open hips and square shoulders), and even an arm strengthener (with just one foot on the floor). The most difficult aspect of this pose, besides the intense hamstring and quadriceps stretch, is keeping the shoulders square. Often in twists we stabilize the hips while turning the chest and shoulders, or vice versa. By pushing out into the stretchy fabric of my @infinitystrap, I am engaging my arms and bringing attention to the placement of my shoulders. Alternately, try wedging two blocks beneath my forearms to prevent the shoulders from turning. Any movement in the shoulders will be noticeable in the contact between the blocks and forearms. From downward-facing dog, as the upper leg lifts and hips open, keep the opposite armpit, side ribs and waist full and buoyant. Stay and breathe, then switch sides. #detailanddepth #camatkarasana #wildthing #downdogsplits #threeleggeddog #downdog #yoga #yogatherapy #yogaeverydamnday #alignmentyoga #practiceandalliscoming #yogaprops #practicedaily #yogapractice #iyengaryoga #iyengar #yogaforeverybody #fitfluential #instayoga #yogateacher #yogagirl #yogagram #silverlake #losfeliz (at Series on Wild Thing Pose)

There are far too many people who inspire my daily practice to try and shout out to everyone individually, but I'm a little too obsessed w/ @cbquality to not mention her influence on my practice. I can't tell you how much her hip opening inspires me- seriously, watch her #downdogsplits and #standingsplits, y'all. I can't even. And the way she switches from one leg to the other in #hanumanasana? I'm in love. #trillyoga till the end. #cbqualitylife
