Taking The Plunge: Yoga Teacher Training

Taking The Plunge: Yoga Teacher Training

Day 27: Handstand 🌳 before yoga, I wouldn't have ever dreamt of going upside down. Still today, handstand is scary to me. I wasn't a gymnast or anything like that, so this progress is all about will power, dedication, determination, and discipline. I love yoga 💛🌹 @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga #basicyogamix #onebreathatatime #practiceyogachangeyourworld #practiceandalliscoming #tree #handstand #yoga #yogachallenge #yogalove #yogaliving #yogalondon #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeverywhere (at Hyde Park, London)

Day 24: Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana or Compass pose. I admit I have no clue of what I'm doing - but who cares?? Don't take yourself or your practice too seriously.
