#activestretch

Day 11 of #50DaysofContinuousMatthewGoughPhotos for @robinsonfitness.ldn. . . . Ok, so today it’s back to how yoga infuses my life. I’ve just been for a run, first time in months. It was hard. But I focused on my breathing, enjoying the fresh air, smiling and greeting the other runners and dog walkers (we’re not in London, so they actually reply here!) and here’s some post-run yoga inspired stretching. Note I’ve got my socks ON. I’m getting more and more into this active stretching idea: I’m using my body to prevent me from slipping rather than just relaxing into a deep stretch with a sticky mat. . . . #yoga #yogafun #instayogi #yogachallenge #mendoyoga #lovetheskinyourein #lifeofayogateacher #runner #runnerslunge #stretch #activestretch #engagethosemuscles #strength #control #balance #core (at Canterbury, Kent) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br-D1n5gc3s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mig1g91xkhoo

So here’s the first #strength #variation on a “classic” #asana that brings in an #activestretch. #trianglepose but with the lower arm extended to the side so you have to use your side body muscles to support your upper body. Note the upper arm is pressing down on the side ribs to prevent them from flaring up. The intention is to keep the spine straight, and ultimately this top arm will each upwards in the traditional way. #yoga #yogateacher #menofyoga #mendoyoga #core #sidebody #engage #meggings #gingeryogi #shakeitup #alwayslearning #imalittleteapot (at Pimlico)
