Ahhhh you guys are killing me here your posts are all so amazing! 🌟⭐️🌟 Welcome to #SpringIntoHips #IGyogachallenge • ➰Day6 • The pose of the day is #SuryaYantrasana #SundialPose or #CompassPose • There are MANY MANY variations of this pose. • I am offering 1 along with the steps to get there. Similar to a #YogaTutorial I did a while back- if you are interested in that go to #AttemptAvoidGuideToYoga 👀 FEEL FREE to offer any of these as options or as I like to say in class "places to stay for a few months"😺 👉Cover Image: matches final image for the most part EXCEPT toes pointed☺️ 1️⃣seated figure 4- keep feet flexed & lean in with a tall spine 2️⃣from above baby cradle the shin and straiten the lower leg. Stay tall! Don't bend the ankle of the leg you are holding and it is possible that you might feel more balanced with the lower leg bent with the foot tucked in (similar to pigeon) 3️⃣from above- turn foot forward keeping the knee at about 90• and attempt to bring the knee under the arm pit 4️⃣attempt to bring the shoulder under the knee- use the other hand for support of the leg so that you can locate the ground with the other - finding stability 5️⃣see about straitening the leg now- keeping in mind this may not just happen right away and this is ok! In fact it is PERFECTION! 🌀 Be sure to swipe through to see all the pics... 💪we encourage you to offer where you are with honest intention rather than cramming your body into a shape that doesn't work for you👊 🌀 You can still jump in! ➰ April 1-10 ➰ Guidelines: In order to be eligible for prizes please➰ ✅follow all hosts & sponsors ✅in every post use the hashtag #SpringIntoHips ✅tag all hosts and sponsors in your daily posts ✅make sure your account it set to public ➰ Our most generous & awesome sponsors: @FreeSpiritLoveShop @YogaPaws @BaeKiiara @InfinityStrap ➰ Posting order of hosts: @CatValadezYoga @YogaYely @Faern ➰ Poses: Day 1: Pigeon Prep w/twist✔️ Day 2: Toe Stand 4 figure✔️ Day 3: Lizard✔️ Day 4: Bound side angle | Bird of paradise ✔️ Day 5: Malasana ✔️ Day 6: Compass Pose✔️ Day 7: Upavishta Konasana Day 8: Hanumanasana Day 9: Ardha Matsyendrasana Day 10: Ardha Bdha Padottanasana ➰ #YogaChallege (at FAERN.me)

Welcome to day 10 Our final day 😪 of #YogainyourBody💪 . #YogisChoice of any #backbend #armbalance or #twist . Given the wealth of energy and zest you all provided us while participating I went towards good ol HANUMAN our grateful loveful flying monkey ready to fly across great distances to show us what we can do! #hanumanasana is a backbend posture- one that takes a long time to work with, nothing to sneeze at (or in for that matter 🤣) and often this posture or one like it (hello #ArdhaHanumanasana !!) is included in backbend warmup sequencing ("should" always be in my opinion). . I chose this #Splitsvariation intentionally and posted a couple (still rather deep) options. ✅Please feel absolutely free to use blocks under the hands. ✅Do your very best to keep hips square (ardha or not) ✅Avoid just dropping down or sliding down unless you are very familiar with not crashing down😘 ✅Keep the lift from pelvic floor up, then check out those shoulders- keep them out of the ears to support all that lift. ✅COBRA forever ✅Legs extend out but also draw back in! . I believe I posted a #yogatutorial about this- check out mine at #AttemptAvoidGuideToYoga I posted three pics- swipe 😁 . Check both of my co-hosts for their poses!! @catvaladezyoga @odamio . Please feel free to add any questions below!🔮 . To be eligible for prizes please have all of your entries in by 28 February! Tag all sponsors and hosts in every single post!👊👊 .
