#ashtangabackbends

I love my camel. How about you? I don’t really have a camel, but I do practice Ustrasana. This backbend is one of the most healing and also accessible (with many modifications). For good technique, never force, work on finding space and strength. _ Practice with me on @omstarsofficial 💕 _ One week in Miami in June Summer 200 Hour @miamilifecenter _ Day 2 #loveofashtanga #ashtangabackbends challenge is #ustrasana.

The original pigeon. Kapotasana. This is the asana that breaks many people. It doesn’t have to it break you physically if you learn good technique. But, maybe the emotional breaking is part of the process. _ 1. Remain calm. Be sure you can thinking clearly during each step. 2. Stick to the technique. Work slowly and deliberately. I have a ton of tutorials on Kapotasana but the best technique is what you and your teacher work out as best for your body. There is no absolute rule of right or wrong. 3. Don’t force it, be patient. Keep practicing. _ Practice with me on @omstarsofficial 💕 _ One week in Miami in June Summer 200 Hour @miamilifecenter _ Day 3 #loveofashtanga #ashtangabackbends challenge is #kapotasana.
