Taught myself how to invert into a back flip from a bridge pose 🤩 it was kinda scary at first but it’s all in the mind 👍🏼 #backbend #acro #yoga #bridgepose #backbendchallenge (at Forma Gym Almaden Valley)

Ohhhh, I can’t believe tomorrow is Day 8️⃣ and final day of the #SummerMoonYogis #yogachallenge. 😢 It has been such a wonderful experience seeing my co-hosts and our participants share their exquisite posts. I learned so much from all of you! 😘💗🙏🏻 . . The last #asana is Kapotasana aka #pigeonpose or #yogischoice, so in closing I opted for Eka Pada Dhanurasana aka #oneleggedbowpose or #fallendancer pose. The sun was really starting to beat down on my face and I was getting a bit dehydrated (guilty! 🙋🏻‍♀️), so it was difficult to get my foot to my head. Every moment of the asana practice is a journey or knowing and not knowing. All in all, it is beautiful. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 . .

Once again, Happy International Yoga Day, dearest Ones! 🕉 Tomorrow we will be onto Day 3️⃣ of the #SummerMoonYogis #yogachallenge and the #asana is Anjaneyasana aka #crescentlunge or #lowlunge. The pose is named after Anjani, the mother of Lord Hanuman in the Hindu culture. 🙇🏻‍♀️ There are a few variations of this asana, and I chose to bring my foot to my head. 😊 It’s really important to be mindful of your spine as you come into the #backbend, as the lengthening comes from being the chest higher to the sky. 💗 . . Be sure to check out the variations of my co-hosts, and please honor your body. 🙇🏻‍♀️🕉🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌿 . . 🌙Hosts🌙 @lancuks_yoga @belleyoga.tokyo @mikaila_nyc . . 🌙 Sponsors🌙 @yogacycled_wear #iwearyogacycled My leggings 🌎 @omgoddess.clothing @narabellabrand @merubeads #merubeads My mala 📿 @malas_in_bloom @aloetteofc3 @zeetabody . .

Happy Sunday, dearest Ones. ☺️ It is Day 8️⃣ and final day of the #OpenHeartsforAhimsa #yogachallenge and it is yogi’s choice. 😉 I chose Raja Kapotasana in the #Ashtanga Third Series.

“Ahimsa is not mere negative non-injury. It is positive, cosmic love.” ~ Sri Swami Sivananda 🙇🏻‍♀️💗 . . Happy Friday, dearest loves. 😘It is Day 7️⃣ of the #OpenHeartsforAhimsa #yogachallenge and I am so amazed at the posts I’ve seen while scrolling trough this gallery. 💗💗💗 **PLEASE READ ON** . . The #asana is Dhanurasana or #bowpose. The pose in the second photo is Dhanurasana, the full bow ( #swipeleft ), while the first is actually Padangustha Dhanurasana or #upwardbow in the Ashtanga Fourth Series. . . Students have said they cannot come into the full bow, even if they are in the actual Dhanurasana. 😌 It’s SUPER important to be mindful of the body and not harm it for ego’s sake. Ahimsa is love, and it outweighs self-judgement. ❤️ . Please check in with my co-hosts’ posts for their variations, and please be kind to yourself always. 🤗🕉🧘🏻‍♀️🌿🗽 .
