#gazeshift

Grounded. . . Something that easily slips away from me. . . Being an air sign, I can easily get lost in my head and lose sense of reality. But when I’m grounded, there’s so much connection & peace. With this retrograde mess that’s finally passed, I feel solid again and at ease amidst the confusion that I feel towards certain areas of my life. Right now, the question is: “What do I want?” I’m patiently waiting for this fog to lift its veil to find out. 🌙 . . #gazeshift for #sunday! TIP: If you’re working on this, and struggle with keeping balance, try shifting your awareness to the shifts that are happening in the low body (torso, legs...) & try to maintain that as steady as possible. If you’re just focused on moving the head, you’ll lose balance. Be a rock in mid and low body! 💥 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Yoga #YogaEveryDamnDay #YogaEveryWhere #IGYogaCommunity #yogi #yogini #ILoveYoga #Strong #YogaInspiration #YogaLove #YogaFun #YogaLife #YogaPractice #PracticeYogaChangeYourWorld #Fit #Fitness #YogaPose #Strength #Balance #YogaProgress #Flexible #Flexibility #YogaTeacher #handstand

The Flu. It wrecked me for a week. I'm just starting to feel better. Sometimes, regardless of how healthy you are, if you are around a bunch of other sickos long enough, it gets you. Those of you who strive for health and well being, if you do get sick don't feel like a failure - take it as an opportunity for rest. I'm always reminded that I don't stop often so sometimes the Lord needs to remind me to do so. Okay, I'll rest, Lord. Day 1 of #ResolutionHandstand2018 was a straight up handy with a gaze shift! I've been working on both my #straighthandstand and my #gazeshift for some time. It was truly solid until I took a week off. 15 handstands yesterday felt like a hundred. 😪 Handy Hosts: ⭐ @yoga_supqueen ⭐ @bluesuntara ⭐ @susanbishopyoga ⭐ @leighyogipilot ⭐ @beahappyamy Sponsors:  @yoga_democracy @infinitystrap @Byoganow @dharmayogawheel @tula.blue @handfulbra @dontmesswithganesh

Shifting gaze in a handstand practice is such an amazing thing to gradually learn. When learning handstand, the gaze in between palms becomes essential to keep focus and keep balanced. We handstanders can become quite attached to it. Learning to change that gaze shift is almost like learning to let go of the one thing you thought was stabilising you. It's such an amazing thing to learn because you are basically learning to remove the attachment you once had on the one thing you though kept you grounded in flight. And then the amazing realisation that you can still fly without it! Also, through the process, you eventually start learning to lead with your heart (because what you need to balance yourself in this pose is the action of pushing the chest forward, which is essentially working towards a hollow back position - aka heart opener!) Imagine applying that outside of the mat... . This is why I think yoga is more than just a work out or a stretch. If you pay close attention, it's learning to live! #yogalessonsarelifelessons #practiceawareness #yoganerd . . . . . . . #handstand #handstandpractice #onhandswestand #gazeshift #handstandhollowback #hollowback #hollowbackhandstand #handstandgazeshift #handstandtuck #hollowthatbackgirl #teamforcore #practiceandalliscoming #practicenotperfection #ardhomukhavrksasana #shapeupyourinversions #invertyohips #handstandlove #handstandpractice #yogapractice #yogajourney #yogaeveryblessedday #yogagirl
