Wall Walk Into A Bridge (Chest Touching The Wall).....Next stage of beginning bridging, at 1st just do your best to touch your forehead then your nose to the mat, as you get more flexible, touch your chest to the wall (really stretches everything). After about 10 reps, you can roll on to your side or walk back up the wall. Great for beginner bridges and building up incredible flexibility in the spine. I always do these usually before the back and front bridges. #chest #chesttowall #bridge #chesttowallbridge ##allthewaydown #head #nose #stretching #flexibility #flexiblespine #spine #back #strongabs #stabilization (at Hayden Lake, Idaho)

Whenever people tell me that can't do yoga cuz they are not flexible, I tell them I was that kid that couldn't touch my toes all through school. Even now, am still a work-in-progress. My yoga teachers would tell me to straighten my knees whenever am in a forward fold but as this pic can attest, I have to make a concerted effort to adjust often to make sure my form is correct since am not super bendy. The good thing about flexibility and strength is that they can be trained no matter where you begin. As I get older I value more the flexibility side instead of just strength because I realize what a better athlete it makes me in every other sport I love be it Silat, surf, Muay Thai or dance. Also my vanity loves the idea that yogis say "you're only as young as you're spine is flexible"! 😉👶🏻#doyoga #yogaislife #yogaeverydamnday #gamechanger #supyoga #paschimottanasana #forwardfold #touchyourtoes #getbendy #flexible #trainyourbody #mindbodyunion #iloveyoga #yogaanywhereanytime #flexiblespine #antiaging #yogi #chinayogi #baliyogi #yogaaroundtheworld
