Day 28 #stepbystepyogis Salamba Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) Be mindful of your your neck. Any discomfort in your neck just take legs up a wall. A super sweet alternative to shoulder stand 1 - Come into plough 2 - Find some space between your chin and your chest. Wiggle your shoulders under your body 3 - lengthen your arms and interlace your fingers. Press the back of your arms firmly in to the floor 4 - engage your core 5 - slowly lift your legs up, both legs together or one at a time. At the top, toes in line with your eyes 6 - stay. breathe. 7 - slowly lower your legs back to plough, undo the fingers, gently roll down. Counter pose with fish, matsyasana. Love love love. Take care of yourselves. Its the practice, not the posture.

Day 25 #stepbystepyogis Todays pose: Natarajasana Todays practice: Yoga @downwarddogyoga This is one of my favs. Its super challenging for me, but I love the story of Nataraja Nataraja is a depiction of Shiva as cosmic dancer Performing a divine dance A divine dance to release the souls of men and women from the snare of illusion The place of the dance, chidambaram, is portrayed as the center of the universe Is actually within the heart. Dance. In truth. Free from illusion. From your heart.
Tutorial video #stepbystepyogis #bendbalanceinvert #yoga #30daychallenge Day 24 - Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana #dwipadaviparitadandasana 📝 Begin by preparing as you would for #UrdhvaDhanurasana (#UpwardBowPose). Lie on your back, feet on the floor, heels under the knees, and step your feet a little wider than your hips. Bend your arms and place your palms on the floor by your ears, fingertips facing the shoulders, shoulder-width apart. Pause for a moment to focus and tune in to your breathing. As you exhale, press your knees away from your torso and lift your hips, shoulders, and head from the floor as you straighten your arms. Widen and draw your shoulder blades toward your tail bone to lift your shoulders and lighten the load on your arms. Bend your arms and place the crown of your head on the floor between your hands and feet, keeping your elbows shoulder-width apart and directly over your wrists. On your next exhalation, slide one hand past your ear to cup the back of your head, bringing your weight onto your forearm. Repeat the same action with the other arm, interlacing your fingers behind your head (you may be more successful in these arm movements if you lift onto your tiptoes). With a powerful exhalation, press down through your inner elbows and wrists and lift your chest to raise your head off the floor. As your head lifts, press your inner heels down. In the full pose, however, you walk the feet away from your hands until your legs are nearly straight; then plant your inner feet and exhale as you stretch down through your calves and push to straighten the legs completely. Come out of this asana with great attention. First, walk your feet back under your knees. Remain on your crown and return your palms to the floor next to your ears. Again check to make sure your hands are directly under your elbows. Push with your hands to lift the head and tuck your chin and tail bone in as you roll your spine back down to the floor, tail bone touching last. Consciously slow your breathing down until you are once again at rest and can feel the powerful calm that is the product of balanced backbends
#stepbystepyogis Wheel pose and Jann Arden step by step beat by beat breath by breath. Ive struggled with this for so long now and its finally making sense. A few great tips Ive received in the last couple months - keep the weight in your legs. -use your hamstrings and glutes -straighten your arms, but soften your shoulders. Have fun!!!

Day 20 #stepbystepyogis The pose: King pigeon (with a little help) The practice: Yin I love using props. One of my goals as a teacher is to change our ideas around props. To stop looking at them as a crutch or something we need to use because we're not good enough, strong enough or flexible enough and to really embrace them as a tool to enhance our practice. Props are our friends folks...use them!
