Joshua tree yoga
Non Scale Victory 💪
Today I tried the yoga pose Upward Bow. When I was young I could do this with ease. Without even knowing that the move was a yoga pose at all. But when I got into my 20s, I could barely lift my shoulders off of the ground. My arms would shake and I couldn’t do it any more. I had lost my strength as I gained the weight. Today though, I actually did the Upward Bow with ease. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to do, after how hard I struggled before. This to me shows that I have gotten stronger and more flexible, and that is a victory in of itself 😊

another instagram crosspost for fitness tumblr (fitumblr, presumably) FITBLR: hero pose to supine hero to extended supine hero to a wheel variation I don’t know the name of (interlude of playing around on tiptoe) to a swinging sit up and bastardized BJJ style stand up and final hair toss.

Upward bow pose / Posture de la roue
Upward bow is one of my favorite postures. When I do it, I feel like my whole body is opening up to let energy flow in. Here’s how to do it:
Start laying on your back, bring your heels near your sitting bones and your hands above your shoulders pointing them. Then, lift your body to get in the pose. Stay a couple of breath and come back on the floor gently. If you feel some sort of pain in your back I suggest you to bring your thighs to your chest to stretch the spine the opposite way of the posture.
BENEFITS
Stretches the chest, Strengthens the arms and wrists, legs, buttocks, abdomen, and spine. Increases energy and counteracts depression.

Le roue est une de mes postures préférées. Lorsque je la fait, j’ai l’impression que tout mon corps s’ouvre pour laisser l’énergie y entrer. Voici comment la faire:
Couchez-vous sur le dos puis amener vos talons près de vos fesses et vos mains au dessus de vos épaules, les pointant. Ensuite, soulevez votre corps pour prendre la postures. Restez y quelques respirations puis revenez au sol doucement. Si vous ressentez une certaine douleur dans la colonne, ramenez vos jambes près de votre corps pour étirer la colonne dans le sens contraire de la posture de la roue.
BIENFAITS
Étire le torse, renforce les bras, les poignets, les jambes, les fesses, l’abdomen et la colonne vertébrale. Augmente l’énergie et neutralise la dépression.
