When I first started practice I never believed I would be able to lift up. And yet here I am, lifting up into this arm balance. _ There are many days when I feel heavy, uncoordinated and weak. But I keep practicing. There is always room to be stronger. _ The journey of strength was never just about the physical for me. It was always about what the experience of trying to lift up meant for the mental, emotional and spiritual. Lately I’ve had to call upon all the strength I’ve built through my practice in order to find peace amidst some turbulence. I am so grateful for the practice. _ What does strength mean to you? _ Come practice with me 😊 _ Practice with me for two weeks of Mysore in January @miamilifecenter Sign up soon! _ Just a few spots left for our 300 Hour course starting in February @miamilifecenter _ Tune into my podcast with a new episode each week. _ Photo @ifilmyoga #armbalance #thirdseries #kukkutasana #urdhvakukkutasana #miami #miamiyoga #yoga #yogi #yogapractice #yogainspiration #ashtanga #bestrong #winterinflorida 💕 (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/kinoyoga/p/CXbn9V6uYDR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Galavasana- flying pigeon pose. Ashtanga third series is especially brutal because half way through the sequence you get to do 7 consecutive headstand to arm balance transitions, on each side, with vinyasas in between and no rest - super fun 😅! It's completely exhausting but that's kind of the point. I tend to sneak in a few extra wrist stretches/ ponytail and clothing adjustments/ unnecessary toilet trips in between -stalling techniques just so I don't drop dead. Bad lady - I know - I'm still working on my concentration skills. Baby steps! • • • • • #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #fitnessinspiration #motivation #yogavideo #yogasequence #yogaflow #yogavids @yoga.vids @yogapractice @yogavids #yogagirl #strong #yogspiration #inspiration #motivation #yoga #yogapractice #yogagirl #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangalove #yoga #thirdseries #mysorestyle #mysore #yogapractice #armbalance #armbalances #galavasana #flyingpigeon #strength #balance (at Manchester, United Kingdom)

I've only ever actually managed to grab both ankles together a couple of times unassisted. So I was pretty chuffed this morning when I managed to actually hold them for a fair few seconds! Not exactly comfortably, but I managed to find my breath at least, instead of freaking out! I also nearly catapulted myself at the wall on the way out and then everything started to spin - which was kind of fun 😅!

Ashtanga third series for the third day running! I am on a role! I know this vid is faaaaaaar too fast but I wanted to show you the arm balance section (part of it at least). You may notice a few differences in this week's ashtanga videos such as - fluffier hair, redder face, shinier skin and looking overall significantly more bedraggled! Ashtanga yoga is difficult and intense but that's part of its appeal - putting yourself in a challenging situation and knowing that you are strong enough to get through it and reap the benefits. (Video is 8.5 minutes in reality) • • • • • #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #fitnessinspiration #motivation #yogavideo #yogasequence #yogaflow #yogavids @yoga.vids @yogapractice @yogavids #yogagirl #strong #yogspiration #inspiration #motivation #yoga #yogapractice #yogagirl #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #thirdseries #yoga #ekapadabakasana #mysorestyle #mysore #yogapractice #galavasana #headstand #tripodheadstand #koundinyasana #sweat #strength (at Manchester, United Kingdom)

For the first 8 years of my yoga practice I only practiced Ashtanga. I enjoyed that it was so hardcore and loved it so much I never even wanted to try other types. Then I started seeing different poses that weren't in the ashtanga sequences and decided I wanted to incorporate a bit more variety. My daily practice evolved into more of a vinyasa flow. This allowed me to be a lot more creative with my sequences but it also allows me to be a lot lazier sometimes! In lots of way this suits me as it's way easier to motivate myself to get on my mat when I know I am in charge of what comes next. (I used to have days when I literally dreaded my practice as the full sequence was so gruelling) However it's also easy for me to conveniently tailor my practice more around the poses that I know come easily to me and that I enjoy, as opposed to the poses that are difficult but my body really does need. This week I am embracing the challenge and enjoying the returning to the structure of ashtanga. • • • • • #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #fitnessinspiration #motivation #yogavideo #yogasequence #yogaflow #yogavids @yoga.vids @yogapractice @yogavids #yogagirl #strong #yogspiration #inspiration #motivation #yoga #yogapractice #yogagirl #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #thirdseries #yoga #advancedseries #mysorestyle #mysore #yogapractice #backbend #headstand #yogaday #myyogajourney #internationalyogaday #viparitadandasana (at Manchester, United Kingdom)

Happy International Yoga Day! I got up at the crack of sparrows today and did the Ashtanga third series for the first time in yonks! It was intense! This is one of the many awkward postures - Viranchyasana An ashtanga practice is a challenging set sequence of postures. You do the complete 90 minute sequence 6 days a week with a rest day on a Sunday. Most people will practice primary series (the sequence my balance classes are based on) and with time and LOTS of practice, progress to intermediate (second) and maybe even the advanced sequences (third to sixth). It's a pretty hardcore way to practice and takes a lot of discipline, but it's very rewarding! • • • • • #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #fitnessinspiration #motivation #yogavideo #yogasequence #thirdseries #yogagirl #strong #yogspiration #inspiration #motivation #yoga #yogapractice #yogagirl #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #secondseries #yoga #intermediateseries #mysorestyle #mysore #yogapractice #legbehindhead #viranchyasana (at Manchester, United Kingdom)
