"Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right." --H. Ford. ☀️ What limitations are you placing on yourself in life? What will happen when you accept your boundless potential without excuses? . . . #yoga #pinchamayurasana #inversion #balance #yogaglow #igyogafam #sistersofyoga #yogaeverydamnday #health #fitness #blackyogis #afrofitness #betterupsidedown #mentalhealth (at Deeply Rooted Wellness + Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1UJKuCnRh8/?igshid=1vl0x62xzvwba

Muscle memory can work for us and against us. After a long break from handstanding, my muscles reverted to their old strengths and weaknesses as I take up the practice again. . . . Similarly, when we've spent years entrenched in uncertainty, fear, or low-self worth, those somatic experiences get trapped into our bodies. They can surface at the least provocation, but especially when we take up a practice meant to address them. . . . A consistent yoga practice can support us as we identify those reoccurring and unconscious tendencies in our minds and muscles. Trauma-conscious yoga, for example, can supplement your work with a clinician to reconnect your psychological and somatic experiences. Keep that in mind next time you're on the mat and the hip openers release some stuff! . . . #yoga #handstand #meditation #inversion #balance #yogaglow #igyogafam #sistersofyoga #yogaeverydamnday #health #fitness #blackyogis #afrofitness #betterupsidedown #mentalhealth #trauma (at Deeply Rooted Wellness + Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RW0OUnGWt/?igshid=4dgt5vohcd70

Headstand can be super invigorating 🛸 (like 5 minutes of kapalabhati for me). It also promotes circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system in unique ways. Yet the risk of putting too much pressure on the neck which--let's face it--is easy to do, can detract from the benefits. ⚠️ To get the benefits without the risks: 1.) pick another inversion 2.) practice pinchamayurasana. When you're able to know what it feels like to truly support your weight in your forearms, and you're strong enough to do it, you can likely integrate supported headstand into your practice. The postures are VERY different, but that component can be helpful! Got questions? DM me.
