𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⁣ ⁣ I bet you heard me say I don’t love backbends so I’m definitely not going to say I crave a backbend however that sure doesn’t mean I don’t NEED them. Because I’m pretty sure the pose we resist the most is the one we need the most. ⁣ ⁣ I have been trying to practice backbends more and also incorporate many more in my classes. ⁣ ⁣ Sphinx pose is actually a gentle backbend, much more beginner than most variations. ⁣ ⁣ What poses do you crave? ⁣ ⁣ #aloboutactsofkindness⁣ ⁣ Hosts:⁣ ⁣ @jenbellyoga @yoginiquely.christine @handstandidaho @yogainthe_barn @leapoffaith_yoga @imlisa ⁣ Sponsors:⁣ ⁣ @aloyoga @alomoves ⁣ ⁣ #sphinxpose #backbends #aloyogachallenge #outdooryogis (at Downtown Chandler) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV-safep-_z/?utm_medium=tumblr

I had the most overwhelming day yesterday to be honest it all started about Wednesday. The climax was yesterday. I was walking through Target and I imagined myself taking jars off the shelves and breaking them on the floor. I imagined employees being called to come clean up the mess and escort me out of the store. I’m not sure what that was! Is that anxiety is that a panic attack is that just full on psycho⁣ I didn’t do it or course. I kept shopping for my items and focusing on my breath and trying to understand where these feelings were coming from. ⁣ ⁣ I took on too much this week! I over scheduled myself. I fell back into an old pattern of behavior. I said yes to too much. You know how it is though, you say yes to one thing weeks back and then something else a couple weeks later and then this week comes and you’re like ok yes I have time in my calendar Friday morning for that. But then you realize you still need to grocery shop and eat and sleep and you seem to run out of time for everything. ⁣ ⁣ I talk a lot about how I am a yes person and I tend to take on more than I can mentally handle often especially pre-C but I feel like stay at home orders and 2020 taught me a lot. But we know growth and healing isn’t alway linear. The universe tests us often. ⁣ ⁣ I haven’t had much time for self-care lately, I haven’t meditated enough and I have hardly been on my mat. I know how these things catch up to me but I still often say oh I will do that tomorrow but when tomorrow comes something else fills the space. ⁣ ⁣ What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Or is that something you don’t experience?⁣ ⁣ #aloboutactsofkindness⁣ ⁣ Hosts:⁣ ⁣ @jenbellyoga @yoginiquely.christine @handstandidaho @yogainthe_barn @leapoffaith_yoga @imlisa ⁣ Sponsors:⁣ ⁣ @aloyoga @alomoves ⁣ #wideleggedforwardfold #seatedforwardfold #selfcarelove (at Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV8yAuhPLhj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Would you believe me if I told you Jen and I 𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐍𝐎𝐓 plan these photos so I could use them to participate in her Alo Challenge but it totally just worked out that way. ⁣ ⁣ I knew Jen was hosting an Alo challenge the first week of November because I asked her when it was to see if I could participate since mine wasn’t until the end of the month. She said the theme was kindness. That’s all I knew⁣ ⁣ I just got lucky when I saw the lineup and realized I could use so many of these photos and mostly had photos in my phone of me wearing Alo that I could use that I never posted before. The only photos I had to take new for this challenge were day 4 (hug) and tomorrow (forward fold)⁣ ⁣ Do you have random photos in your phone you took but never posted? ⁣ ⁣ #aloboutactsofkindness⁣ ⁣ Hosts:⁣ ⁣ @jenbellyoga @yoginiquely.christine @handstandidaho @yogainthe_barn @leapoffaith_yoga @imlisa ⁣ Sponsors:⁣ ⁣ @aloyoga @alomoves ⁣ ⁣ (at North Carolina Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV5ZbkqJtKx/?utm_medium=tumblr
