Wow beautiful Posted @withrepost • @blackgirlyoga from @the_healthlete - #blackgirlyoga Don’t move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move. Move the way joy makes you move. ❤ 〰️ The most common question I get in my DMs is whether someone should start doing yoga. Not that you need my permission, but if you are at all curious about yoga, my recommendation is just to start!🤸🏿‍♀️ 〰️ Of course, the first time might be intimidating, but remember, you don't need to have a certain level of flexibility or fitness to do yoga. Anyone can step on a yoga mat as long as they have an open mind and heart to try something new.🧘🏿‍♀️ 〰️ ✨ So don't let what others are on doing on their mats discourage you. ✨ Listen to the cues and try to focus on your own practice without any judgment or expectations. ✨ Observe and acknowledge the feelings and sensations come up during your practice. ✨ Be humble and accept where you are in your ability. ✨ Celebrate your gradual progress and breakthroughs! 〰️ Once you give yourself the chance to be vulnerable, you open yourself up to learning so much about what yoga has to offer. You'll be amazed at the places your practice will take you.✌🏿❤ — xx The Healthlete #bgytribe #wearebgy #yogainversions #getupsidedown #doyoga #yogaislife #igyogacommunity #yogaforstrength #yogaforbeginners #balancedandblissful #yogaflow #goodfridayvibes #yoga #yogalife #essence #fitness #hairgoals ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/diannebondyyoga/p/Bwb7ClCjHBt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11cd887c4wx96

Super Tuesday! Day 9 of the #bygtribechallenge/@blackgirlyoga, and the gorgeous @daughteroftheuniverse gives us a most surprising and powerful variation of #Vrksasana, #TreePose. For those of us with compromised root systems, I offer up props (swipe left): a block beneath the standing leg for greater stability and lift, a strap at the other foot to encourage more hip opening and knee flexion, and the wall--one of the best tools for those with balance challenges to enjoy the grounding, focusing, and uplifting benefits of a balance without fear of falling. No twisting, just arms raised in gratitude for the gift of Yoga, our bodies, and our communities. Three days!

We are in the home stretch with Day 8 of the #bygtribechallenge, hosted by @blackgirlyoga. Today's co-host is @begoodkarma with Low Crescent Lunge, which has so many different names and variations. I use Anjaneyasana 1 or Crescent Moon, and my favorite variations are the back bend with clasped palms, and, of course, the twist. 👈 (swipe left) Why do I love twists so much? They are detoxifying, they strengthen the spine and low back, and help to enhance and increase flexibility. Combined with the psoas stretching, rectus abdominus strengthening, and oblique lengthening in Anjaneyasana 1, and you have a winner of a posture that can be done with little to no warm up. Just 4 days left! Here's the #bgytribe taking us to Day 12: Day 1 8/13 @vnessamerie - goddess pose Day 2 8/14 @littleyogijay - lizard pose Day 3 8/15 @iamreneewatkins - frog pose Day 4 8/16 @beautyandthebeatblog - birds of paradise Day 5 8/17 @yoga_by_leslie_davis - wide legged seated forward fold Day 6 8/18 @sunkissed__goddess - malasana Day 7 8/19 @yogasihnuu - wide legged forward fold Day 8 8/20 @begoodkarma -low crescent lunge Day 9 8/21 @daughteroftheuniverse - tree pose Day 10 8/22 @yogaloveny - one legged downward dog Day 11 8/23 @doimoveyou - compass pose Day 12 8/24 @sheyogic - headstand split . .

Day 3 of #BGYTribe Challenge! @BlackGirlYoga Meet Panda, one of my fur loves. Who, quite honestly, does a better variation of #FrogPose than I can. Puppy Pose too, but I digress... This pose is everything: Hips, Groin, Obliques, Spine, Lumbar to Cervical, and Shoulders. Want to strenghten and open all of these? Do the Yin version where you hold it 3 to 5 minutes. Exquisite torture, with exquisite benefits. Truth be told, the longer you hold, the more your body opens and melts, because your bones and ligaments are out of their active state of tension. Who knew? @iamreneewatkins is our guide today, and the rest of the tribe shows off their beautiful variations, and bomb photography. Get me the hookup, ladies! Check in daily to see their variation of the pose of the day and share your own with us by posting a picture or video of you in that pose. . . . .
