@stralayoga principle of Movement 11👉🏼Have Fun- 'Your shape, your way.You. This doesn't come from someone else, a guru, a teacher. It comes from connecting to you- your nature' It's all part of the magic soup that your cooking up💫 Thanks for playing along, I love this process and how it evolves for me and totally enjoy sharing here and where ever in hopes that it may inspire you to do what moves you, it doesn't have to be yoga just something that make you feel open and easy, creative and free. It's there, get curious💫 Stay easy✌🏻 . . . . . . . . . #stralamom #igyogaease #yogaeverydamnday #yoganurse #stralaeverywhere #stralayoga #stralaprinciplesofmovement #lovewarrior #strengthandease #movementismedicine

@stralayoga principle 10👉🏼Focus on Body Position👌🏻"your stance- where you place your hands, feet, arms, legs, and everything- is the base for how you will move, how much effort it will require, and how much you be able to accomplish from where you are". #miketaylor Even the little movements become bigger when you breathe through, put you whole self into everything- the lifts, opening, rising, and softening👉🏼the feel it all it with you entire being👌🏻 Stay easy friends✌🏻🌈#mamabird 🐦 . . . . . #stralaprinciplesofmovement #stralaeverywhere #stralamom #movementismedicine #movewithease #yogamom #yoganurse #yogaeverydamnday #igyogaease

@stralayoga principle of natural movement 9👉🏼Sensitize👌🏻Please excuse the DIY vid skills here as they ebb and flow as well🤷🏻‍♀️ 🌟Move how it feels good to move in YOU🌟I truly can't emphasize this one enough... Some of us are tall, bendy, stiff, or round- it's super important to check in and notice what happening in you and move or linger where it feels good😉1- Slow Down 2-Believe how you feel is worth responding to. 3- Respond. " When something feels good, almost effortless compared to the other way, you've found it" #miketaylor Move easy friends✌🏻 . . . . . . #stralaprinciplesofmovement #igyogaease #breathehere #yogaeverydamnday #movewithease #movementismedicine #stralamom #stralaeverywhere (at Planet Earth)

@stralayoga Principle of Movement 7👉🏼Open the Door, Close the Door... " Always open the door to Movement first so you don't have to force your way through. Create room and comfort in your body, and then move into challenge from a space of comfort. Then reopen the door and move again into challenge". So good right? So here it's just me imperfectly practicing stepping out of my shell(not easy to do) and I'm going for it. For me the process is the practice, some days I'm more open, more steady, more confident. Today? Meh🤷🏻‍♀️not great, but totally okay with it😊 I hope you feel that in your bodies too, find what feels good and go for that😍 This is huge for me, I'm happy to guide you if it's the same or interesting to you✌🏻Get curious😉 . . . . . . . . #strengthandease #movementismedicine #stralaprinciplesofmovement #stralayogaguide2015 #stralamom #stralaeverywhere #yogamom #yoganurse #movewithease (at Yoga House and Wellness Center at Royal Fitness)

So Here we have Strala's 4th Principle of Movement 👉🏼using Opposites👌🏻 So moving easy left to go right, down to go up, up to go down, forward to go back, and so on... "Move away from your Goal and then toward it". Here: moving from Plank to side plank rock a bit to the left and open up with an exhale to the right- open up the chest, open up the arms, play a bit here if you'd like and rock with breath on to the other side. I wish I could have taken a little more time here to practice, rest assured it feels good. Give it a try, what's happening for you? Check out my friends at the #stralaprinciplesofmovement @stralavzla jumped in💛💫🙌🏻👉🏼#movewithease #strengthandease . . . . . #stralaeverywhere #stralaprinciplesofmovement #stralayogaguide2015 #guidingstrala #yogamom #stralayoga #igyogaease #movementismedicine #movement #breathehere

Strala yoga 2nd principle of movement is to breathe, just breathe. This is actually easier said than done as I find myself throughout the course of the day rushing and holding my breath or shallow breathing. If this happens in #yoga stress hormones just spill into cells, turns out science proves this also happens in life... a cascade of cortisol(stress hormones) spill into cells and throughout the lymph creating a war in our bodies, in ourselves potentially leading to sickness or worse🤷🏻‍♀️ Sometimes(ALL TIMES) you need to stop and breathe✌🏻 . . . . . . #breathehere #justbreathe #stralaeverywhere #stralayogaguide2015 #stralaprinciplesofmovement #startwhereyouare #yoganursezoe #yogaeverydamnday #yogachallenge #yogamom #stralamom #findingease #movementismedicine

In the beginnings of a yoga challenge here, as many of you know I am a Strala YogaGuide🤗 What attracted me to #stralayoga is that it's easy approachable yoga for everyone based on 11 principles of movement... once these are practiced and explored in every way the body heals, strengthens, hard stuff becomes easier and your connection to life in and outside shifts... and YOU FEEL REALLY GOOD👌🏻 Here's the first principle 1. Soften.... everything👉🏼the belly, the breath, chatter, muscles, arms, legs, torso.... wiggle around a bit breathing on through finding a landing 🛩right where you are✌🏻 . . . . . #stralaprinciplesofmovement #guidingstrala #stralaeverywhere #stralamom #stralayogaguide2015 #stralayoga #startwhereyouare #yogaeverydamnday (at Yoga House and Wellness Center at Royal Fitness)
