“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.” 💫 ~ Vera Nazarian 💗 . . Tomorrow is Day 2️⃣ of the #Love4Splits #yogachallenge and I am so amazed by the beautiful warrior 3 poses from our participants. Absolutely stunning! 😍 . . The next #asana is #Skandasana or #sidelunge. In the Ashtanga practice, one leg is behind the head and in a forward fold. My outer hips weren’t warmed up enough, and I found it much safer to practice ahimsa in the side lunge. ☺️ . .

Another amazing sculptural piece. . Wearing Red Liquorice Sports Bra and yoga shorts. . Thanks to @mrs_khaleesi_gaither ❤️🖤❤️ First off let me say it’s a miracle I’m posting today. I’m utterly exhausted already and had a zen moment where utterly frustrated and upset I had to check myself and breathe because I knew the airlines lady was as helpless as I was. I’ve had my flight cancelled twice. I’m now flying in to a neighbouring airport and getting a shuttle to make it in time for my conference tomorrow morning. I’ve made a point of being extra nice to the airline ladies though, because I know there have to be at least 100 other people in my position. It’s teaching me to really breathe and move on. . I tried this pose this morning before my 3hr drive to the airport when I was feeling more open. @faithfoxmama does this fabulous #floatingpigeon and I wanted to try it! I tested the float first before adding the backbend as you can see in the video. It really forces you to open your hip and get your front foot parallel to your “mat” (I’m on the carpet today) . 🍁🧘Hosts @satoko_yogini @belleyoga.tokyo @ashtangi_ali . . 🍁💝Sponsors @yogacycled_wear #iwearyogacycled @merubeads #merubeads @madhippieskinproducts @alayama_yogawear . . 🍁♥️Poses 1.

Weeeee are off! Tomorrow is officially Day 1️⃣ of the #YogisStand4Health #yogachallenge! 🤸🏻‍♀️ The first #asana we are exploring is Sirsasana or #headstand. Since receiving my @feetup I never thought I could get creative with headstands, nor safely stay in the pose. Today, well, I give you this #headstandvariation in a #transversal #halfsplit. 😁 My @merubeads mala was placed on the Feetup to help me with mindfulness prior to the headstand, and it helped my focus SOOO much. 🕉 . What I love about the #feetuptrainer is that it‘s a serious #coreworkout to keep stabilized. Sweeeet! ✌🏻 . .

We are now onto Day 2️⃣ of the #SummerMoonYogis #yogachallenge and I am so happy to see our participants’ posts! Amazing! 😍 . . The next #asana in the lineup is Ardha Chandrasana or #halfmoon pose. 🌓 In the traditional posture the lifted leg is extended outward, but I opted for Ardha Chandra (“moon” in Sanskrit) Chapasana, the bound variation (also called #sugarcane pose) to open my heart even more. ☺️ I haven’t been to Staten Island in sooo long, and the weather was just Divine...especially in the shade. 😌 . . .
