Using the table to gain as much control in my landing as possible. Using a table rather than a wall is far more beneficial as you can press DOWN rather that AWAY. This helps open the shoulders and chest more. I have tight shoulders and not the bendiest spine either but nothing beats this stretch. I could do it all day long. The key is staying relaxed so steady mindful breaths. Count your breaths out loud so you know you're not holding your breath😉 . Vid is sped up x 2 and shopped up. . I tried to include a locust pose for the ladies at #JuneLoveBugs I chose a variation so I could flow through it instead. @jeminajakin @sdharamr @bex_rox ❤ . #yoga

Ok so excuse the profanities but this pose is a stupid f**king horrible excuse of a pose! Who invented this absolute horrible a**hole of a pose😠 . . I think I may have declared my hatred for backbends in the past, I take that back it's hip openers I hate more than anything 😝 . . So I wanted to show you the difference an angle of a picture can make, I could have easily used the first shot for my grasshopper for #junelovebugs and pretty much got away with it. But that would make me a total fraud so I thought I'd share a little trick I use-⤵ . . ☆TOES, grip your elbow with your toes if you can't get your foot all the way up your arm. . I am demoing from headstand as I was so determined to do it today from headstand but it is obviously easier if you try it from a toe stand position. 😉 . 👉Check out the baggy hipped hosts of this challenge doing it correctly @sdharamr @bex_rox & @jeminajakin ❤ . #yoga #yogahacks

🐞I remember not so long ago I yearned to get a 'butt low, heels high Tittibhasana', I always thought it was such an elegant yet strong pose and I could never quite figure it out. It still amazes me that I can actually do it. I have my off days with it too but hey that's yoga 😉 . Biggest tips that worked for me is use blocks under your hands to ease pressure on your wrists. . Elbows bend OUT not back. . Sit the butt down FIRST. . Then once feet leave the floor SQUEEZE the legs as high up your arms as possible. . ENGAGE quads! . This is my entry for #JuneLoveBugs with my #igbestie @jeminajakin (let's see if I can complete a 2nd challenge this month 😂) The other gorgeous hosts are @sdharamr & @bex_rox so check them out for full instructions. 💗 . #yoga
