#humblewarrior

day 1 🌏🌲we begin #inourelement with a grounding pose that invites us to feel a strong appreciation for & connection with the one element who is the mother of all things… The element of stability The element of wisdom The element of kindness The element of strength The element of growth In honor of the element - earth, let’s share our favorite grounding warrior pose… Baddha Virabhadrasana aka Humble Warrior A pose of… stability wisdom kindness strength & (personal) growth Once I release the recognition of the intense sensation in my chest and inner thighs… let go of my monkey mind thoughts… & I allow myself to breathe and relax into Humble Warrior with a heavy head and open heart — I remind myself to SURRENDER to the challenges and successes this planet blesses me with. I mean… sheesh… it’s in the name… When a teacher tells you to “bow into Humble Warrior (or Devotional Warrior),” do you also cultivate a newfound feeling of courage, humility and kindness?

I've grown accustomed to a certain way of life. I've grown into a routine. My new journey is this: maintaining it, improving it and bettering myself, all while doing it on my own. I knew I was going to enjoy proving people wrong, just didn't think it be this exciting. ❤️‍🩹💪 #workingonmyself #humblewarrior #onedayatatime https://www.instagram.com/p/ClJDdhNudrbnKZXDxhI8TFy3qpLC02hNEXYB140/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

♻️ • @cindy_krall Service rooted in anything other than love for another isn't service. It is slavery. God wants more than that for us and more than that for the ones we serve. I'm guessing that many of us could look back and recall a situation in which we were indeed served. I'll also guess that we may be able to remember a time when the person tending to us wasn't a servant but rather a slave. We know that because it was clear by their behavior and attitude. They weren't doing it willingly. We can tell, can't we? This is sobering because it means that people can know that about us! I look back on my children's growing up, and I'm sure there were days they knew their Mama thought she was a slave. Work was done that could have been seen as acts of love. But, instead, it ended up being nothing more than a clanging gong. Thankfully, God grows us. He convicts us. God gives us the heart and the horsepower to change. I know that He's grown me. Occasionally "slave Cindy" makes an appearance, but for the most part, our adult children, their friends, and our extended family see a servant. And in that, there is great joy! We will always elevate our own joy as well as the joy of others when we engage in life as a servant. When we feel like we're beginning to view life through the lens of a slave, humility is our salvation. The lower we go, the more He will fill us. We’re continuing our study on humility. I’ll hope you’ll join me for this week’s post, Going ‘Down’ to Find ‘Up’––– The Amazing Gift of Humility. 💛 #onlyGod #yogafaith #PostureofHumility #humblewarrior (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3-8V6vl_F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Humble warrior comes next on my list of warrior poses. This pose looks and feels a lot different to me compared to when I did my YTT in 2018. Feet, spine, head and arm position are all different than they were. I looked for a photo from the past but couldn’t find one (it’s hard to keep yoga photos organized) to do a comparison. But there are still improvements to be made. And that’s why yoga can be so fun! No matter where you are in your practice, there are still more ways to grow. •••••••••• @amanayoga Becoming a Warrior #becomingawarrior #humblewarrior #yoga #yogaathome #warriors (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK69Aopj5Tl/?igshid=tuw9flehoxpp

Baddha Virabhadrasaba [Humble Warrior] Un guerriero che si inchina. Praticando questa posizione impariamo ad arrenderci ad un volere più in alto, ad un amore più grande, ad un piano di cui siamo solo una goccia, pur importantissima. E accogliamo questa intelligenza a volte incomprensibile con un respiro nel cuore ❤️ . . . #yoga #baddhavirabhadrasana #humblewarrior #yogateacher #insegnanteyoga #asoloyoga #venetoyoga #openairyoga #acceptance #surrender (presso Revine Lago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CByCLsklC4z/?igshid=a5qzc3f9we02

Nature is a marvel, a wonder beyond imagination, so abundant, so diverse, so vibrant, that words are only a poor approximation for Her splendor and magnificence. Breathe Her in...Rejoice in Her beauty…Marvel in Her mysteries….Surrender to Her healing touch. She is calling to us, from the earth beneath our feet, from the winds through our hair, from the fires in the mountains, from the waters of the oceans….reminding us that She is all around us, part of us, all of us, sustaining us, and healing us. #bethechange #lightonecandle #humblewarrior #onlyone https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qA0RXBdMp/?igshid=m47xb1tdj40z

A message from Shawn Heinrichs . Credit © 🎞 ✅. @shawnheinrichs SHUT DOWN - With the global shutdown of the tourism sector as a result of the Pandemic, ecotourism operations around the world have shutter their operations for the time being, and with that the income has dried up that supports jobs essential to sustaining local communities who are charged with protecting our most treasured reefs and marine systems. And with many ranger and police operations on lockdown, marine reserves across the world are being flagrantly targeted by poachers using destructive fishing methods and stripping the reserves of their highly vulnerable and commercially valuable species. The urgency is greater than ever before to shore up the incomes of these communities and ensure that proper protections are in place to safeguard our most precious marine areas. #ExtinctionEndsHere when we decide enough is enough and that we will no longer be complicit in global crisis that is driving the collapse of earths biodiversity and now threatening the very survival of our species. It is time we join together and take a decisive stand for Nature - for the health of our planet, for welfare of our communities, and for the future of all species on earth. Together we can do this! #bethechange #lightonecandle #humblewarrior #onlyone https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kzL32BzZn/?igshid=17ewiihg6gw4l
