‘Whatever you do, act always in full presence of mind: be mindful in eating and drinking, in walking or standing, in sleeping or waking, while talking or while being silent.’ - Buddha . . . We are all guilty of not always acting in full presence. We indulge in food we know we shouldn’t, we stay up too late, we skip our workouts and speak without thinking. But if we keep mindfulness in mind we do less and less of what we shouldn’t. We may never always be mindful but sometimes is just enough. . . . #yoga #homeyogapractice #adhomukhasvanasana #downdog #downdogvariation #revolveddownwardfacingdog #yogazeal #lululemon #buddha #mindfulness (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ZSi1Qn2lK/?igshid=1rjnh23t0uhr5

I’m not strong enough to do yoga I’m not flexible enough to do yoga If I do yoga I’m going to hurt myself I can’t tell you how many times I hear these . Do you breathe? Do you move? Do you breathe and move at the same time? Do you breathe and move without thought? You are doing yoga Yoga practice is individual Honor where you are at in your practice and the seamless movement will follow I have always said I dont do pretzel yoga. Really it’s poses that I look at and have tried and can’t do Others look at those poses and are excited and challenged by them Everyone can do yoga Everyone can work on connecting movement to breath Everyone can release stress Everyone can improve their mobility This is #yoga . #alospringcleaning #alospringchallenge #aloyoga #downdogvariation #lordofthedance #justbreathe #toetaps #balancetraining #sportyoga (at Jackson Hole, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvmL_1QFdpQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=82ubx9ylhmsg

Downdog: In larger studios, the majority of downward facing dog instructions begin with asking the student to push the sitting bones upward and back...encouraging an anterior tilt in the pelvis. This direction will stretch the hamstrings, but will also shorten and compress the lumbar spine. In this variation, we are asking @nwoutdooryoga to push her sitting bones downwards towards her heels, creating length in the lumbar spine while simultaneously lifting the ribs away from the floor. Emphasis is placed on the inner edges of the hands. Sometimes it is helpful to push the hands down and forwards each other while simultaneously pulling the outer arm bones back. #downdogvariation #downdog #yogaposes #alamedayogapdx #pdx #smallclassesyourpractice #yogatoyoupdx (at Alameda Yoga Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuoYEi7gqfI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uce2yy2tdfhg

Asana 362: Downward Dog Half Lotus Variation #downwardfacingdog #downdogvariation #halflotus #adhomukhasvanasana #ardhapadmasana #betterlatethannever (at Spark Yoga)

Made it to the end of the week and can't wait for the VinYin tonight at 6:00 at CPY Domain. Rainy days embody a yin intention of slowing down and cultivating internal stillness so that we might restore our energy and spirit. Sometimes my best practices are the ones where I move the least. • • • #yogaeverydamnday #downdogvariation #inversionjunkie #practicemakesprogress #liveyouryoga #goyinside #vinyin #restorativeyoga #cpyinstayogi #atxyogameetup #do512 #atxyoga #yogayeacher #yogisofinstagram #lifeofayogi
