Such an inspirational fortune tonight with my Chinese food tonight!

I ordered my malas today!

I am so excited! After spending time deciding what mala would be best for me, I found a company here in Canada that makes and sells them, so I ordered a full mala and a wrist mala. I honestly can't wait for them to come in and to use them in meditation practise!

Hey! What company did you order from? I can't seem to find a good Canadian one!

Fallen Angel Pose

Scale pose - instead of depending on others to lift you up, lift yourself up and revel in the results!

Wheel Pose Progress - a friend from university has been giving me tips on working on my back and hip flexibility to improve my backbends, I'm so happy with my progress already :)

This face captures exactly how I feel about anything Pigeon related, the video I followed for my home practise today had a long pigeon series!

#backtobackbends Day 1 - Warrior 1. Enjoying this lovely Canada Day in the sun with my niece!

Getting better at backbends is a goal of mine, so it is perfect timing that alo yoga is coming out with this challenge! Some of these poses are brand new to me! I'm looking forward to the challenge! I'll be posting on my instagram (amandalsanders) and reposting my poses here, who wants to join me?

Handstand - I wasn't one of those kids that strived on throwing my body around just to see what it could do, I'm more inclined to be that way now in my late 20s. So handstands are new to me! I'm happy with my progress 😁😁😁

Not Yoga, but my love and I hiked almost 15.5 km on Sunday! Spent the entire day outside in the forest and hiked a trail by a waterfall near town. One of the reason I’m so greatful for J is he pushes me out of my comfort zone,I wasn’t raised an outdoorsy person but slowly we are getting there, I love all of the hikes we’ve been going on! 😀😘

Bridge pose - make sure you're always smiling ☺

I won two free yoga classes in a yoga challenge I'm doing!

My current financial situation doesn't make it easy for me to go to classes regularly, I'm so greatful for the chance to go and have a refresher for my home practise until my situation changes (which may be soon, fingers crossed!)

Thread the needle pose with my niece, can we all just appreciate how peaceful she looks in this picture? I love it!!! 😘

Fallen Angel Pose. I felt surprisingly strong in this position, could have extended the legs but I mentally wasn't ready 🙈 next time!
