#extendedsideangle

Action more than intent defines who we are. We can dream of this or that, but what we actually do lays the foundation for what we become. _ Practice every day because that is one concrete thing you can do to claim the space of liberation for yourself. And, once you find your freedom, share it with all who will receive. _ Keep practicing. _ Wednesday’s at 1 pm LIVE every week only on @omstarsofficial _ Next workshop @mayayogakc _ Mysore weeks, 200 and 300 hour courses @miamilifecenter @miamiyogagarage _ Day 18 #mindbodyflex is #parsvakonasana #extendedsideangle ✨Hosts @omstarsofficial @kinoyoga ✨Sponsors: @wiworldandi @navarroofficial @namawell @de.nada.empanada @breezi.lifestyle @blueurbane @vahdamindia @soulfire.collection ✨ Photo @timfeldmannyoga #yogachallenge #yoga #yogi #miami #miamiyoga #ashtangayoga #ashtanga #flexibility #kinoyoga #omstars 💕 (at Sanibel, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY4cR15OkTv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Tuesday, loves. ❤️ Day 6 of the #yogisinabind #yogachallenge is binding with nature/environment in Utthita Parsvakonasana aka #extendedsideangle pose. I offer Baddha Utthita Parsvokonasana or #boundextendedsideangle 🕉 In the next few months this space in my apartment might be moved to a bigger one, and I must admit that I am quite nervous about it. 😬 But this is only because of my mind’s resistance and fear of what is to come. All is well, and will continue to be.😌💗🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌿🗽 . .

A Mysore-Style class is an incredible and awesome method for building a practice that lasts. Learning the poses, one by one and little by little makes them stick in your brain and your muscle memory. The repetition and the consistency brings you to a place of ease and comfort with the asanas over time. You get to know the poses well and your body get in tune with them. A self-led practice breeds discipline, dedication, patience and a type of focus that just isn’t as accessible in a led, talking class. Join my Ashtanga Mysore-Style classes at @yogaplusexpress.legazpi every Mondays to Fridays 6:30am and a Led Class every Saturdays at 7:00am. ✌️😉💙 . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #primaryseries #utthitaparsvakonasana #extendedsideangle #mysorestyle #igersmanila #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #fit #fitspo #vsco #igyoga #feeltheyogahigh #yogaeverywhere #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Yoga+Express Legazpi)

@omniyogagirl on Extended Side Angle ↗️ ・・・ It’s #TriYogaTuesday with the #TriYogaSchool team & this week we are studying #extendedsideangle or #utthitaparsvakonasana 👩‍🎓 This pose relieves stiffness in the back & shoulders, & opens the hips & chest. It strengthens the legs, knees & ankles as well as stretching & toning the abdominal muscles. Utthita Parsvakonasana also brings awareness to the side body & develops endurance. 🎓 Extended Side Angle Alignment Cues: 1. Have a long stance - A lot of students keep their feet too close together, which means they don’t get the all important hip stretch 2. The front foot is parallel to the mat, & the back foot is at 90 degrees. Align the heel of the front foot with the arch of the back foot 3. Keep pressing the outer edge of the back foot down to the mat - It has a tendency to lift up 4. The front leg is bent at a right angle. Have the thigh parallel to the floor & keep the knee directly over the ankle. More advanced students can bring the knee over the front foot 5. Your supporting hand is flat on the mat (the Ashtanga variation has it on the outside of the front foot). Your shoulder should be stacked over your wrist. Press the front leg outwards against your arm to open the hips 6. Keep the legs engaged & strong - Sink the hips low to open the hips further 7. Maintain one long diagonal line by really extending through the lifted arm 8. Open the chest & draw the lower belly back towards the spine 9. Shoulder blades roll down the back, making space around the neck 10. The gaze point, or drishti, is up at the lifted hand 🎓 Don’t forget to check in with Helen & CeCe for their awesome lessons on Extended Side Angle 🎓 Your @TriYogaSchool teachers: @helen_garner_yoga @omniyogagirl @cece.carson 🎓 Leggings: @aloyoga #beagoddess Top: @yoga_everywear Mat: @liforme . . #yoga #yogatutorial

Davidg, always says, "there is a method to the madness". Namaste Yogis, it's vintage yoga time. Let's go back... not too far back. Ever wonder where your blocks, straps, chairs, blankets, props, and restorative yoga originated from? #bksiyengar, the Guru of #iyengaryoga, and one of the most influential yoga teachers of our time and one ☝🏾 of #krishnamacharya, (the father of modern yoga), students, teaching #utthitaparvakonasana / #extendedsideangle . Some of Krishnamachariaya's students have included, #srikpattabhijois #tkvdesikachar and #indradevi . 🙏🏾🐘☝🏾🐶👍🏾😜 #byc #beachyogacentre #ashtanga #practice #yoga #toronto #weloveyoga #keeppracticing #methodtothemadness #vintage #lovinglife (at Beach Yoga Center)

Not posted any of these juicy side angle binds for a while, so here's #twistedboundsideangle. It's a proper beast, keeping the back foot square (the lunging version with back heel raised and rotated is less challenging), and the front knee safe over the ankle, but here's where I'm at with it. #yoga #yogaeveryday #dailyyoga #dailypractice #menofyoga #mendoyoga #sideangle #extendedsideangle #twist #balance #hips #nomatrequired #myactualyoga #gingeryogi (at Blackheath, London)
