This pose, or handstands even, isn’t in my daily practice. Starting the Ashtanga Primary Series after 6 years of yoga is very humbling. It’s thought me that progress does not have to be linear. Advanced poses aren’t “better”, they’re just different. And basic poses don’t lose their value over time. In fact, I’ve started experiencing depth that I used to overlook. . In yoga, there isn’t an end pose to achieve. Don’t get me wrong, we still strive to do our best at that point in time we’re on the mat. But it isn’t forced. And there is a sense of freedom that comes with not feeling pressured to reach a particular milestone just because we’ve accustomed ourselves to use time as a measure. Things come with time, but time doesn’t have to be your enemy. Time simply is. #yogalessonsarelifelessons . . . . . #ashtangayogabeyond #ashtangayoga #vrkasana #scorpionpose #resolutionhandstand #handstand #adhomukhavrksasana #invertedbackbend #backbend #upsidedownyogi #yogaeveryblessedday #yogaeverydamnday #ashtangi #ashtangayogachallenge #yogapose #yogalove #yogagirl #igyogachallenge #igyogacommunity #yogisofig #yogisofinstagram #instayoga #igyoga #yogainspiration
