#IfSheCanICan yoga challenege day 23 is our last moving meditation Moving Meditation #4: I Surrender. I Trust. This week's meditation invites connection to your intuition and truest self. Through intentional breathing into your core, release any shame and self-doubt, and connect to your source of strength. Practice this anytime you need a reminder that you are strong and have what you need.

Day 21 of the #IfSheCanICan yoga challenege We've been doing a lot of work on engaging our core, rooting down and lifting up in the right places. All of that hard work leads to this - mountain pose #tadasana . Root through you feet, tuck your pelvis a little, squeeze your quads, engage your abs, let your heart shine out (picture care bears heart beam thing) and relax your shoulders. This is your mountain , stand strong in it

*smoothly covers up the fact that I have no idea what day it is * So TODAY'S pose is pigeon pose. It was a stressful weekend so forgive my mild delirium 😘 #IfSheCanICan yoga challenege day 18- pigeon pose. This pose can be very unkind to the hips so please support yourself generously with props ( there's definitely a metaphor there ) Starting on all fours , bring one of your knees to rest in the space between your hands. Slide the opposite foot straight back behind you. If you're hips are open enough for you too rest on the floor, awesome. If you're like me, stick a book/block/towel underneath the hip of the leg that's bent. Try to keep your wait in the centre and not putting it all on one hip. No matter where you are in this pose, keep your head up and your chest forward. Breathe deep. It's said that our emotions are stored in the hips but I think actually most of us have such tight hips that poses like this trigger all our negativity. And yet we sit with it. And we learn that we can breath through anything. And we let it go. As your muscles (and mind ) relax with each exhale, you might actually enjoy this pigeon pose. Don't forget to try it on both sides ❤ Hosts:@herbal.amber @kendra.tanner @stswales Sponsor: @loveaprilgreen Gifts: @alex_elle @thetrueyouproject

#IfSheCanICan day 19 - bridge pose Start laying on your back and bring your heels as close to your bum and possible. Press your hands firmly into the ground and your sides, engage your core and slowly lift your pelvis up to the sky. Breath deep with each rise, exhale and slowly come back down, feeling the articulation of your spine against the floor. Sync this movement with your breath - breathe in as you go up, exhale down. If you're lower back needs some love use a book or block to give you a little support

#IfSheCanICan day 20 - bow pose Laying on your tummy, bend one knee at a time and reach back for your ankle. If you can't quite get hold of it, use a strap or towel to help you. Holding on to your ankles , kick your feet away and life from your chest. If you need a little support just tuck a block/book/pillow just below your ribs to give you a little lift. Keep your chest shining forward and breath deep.

#IfSheCanICan day 15 - twisted puppy pose Moving from puppy pose, raise your head and chest slightly. Slide your left hand under your right arm pit with the palm to the sky. Keep your core engaged and twist from your lower back. Be mindful not to squeeze your neck with your shoulders or push the chin past your left shoulder. Breath deep into your belly, with each exhale twist a little more. Rest the side of your head on a block or towel or the ground. Smile 🙂 Twists in yoga are believed to squeeze out old stagnant blood from internal organs. Unwinding the twist allows fresh blood to rejuvenate us. When in doubt, twist it out of. And don't forget to do both sides Hosts : @herbal.amber @kendra.tanner @stswales Sponsor : @loveaprilgreen Gifts: @alex_elle @thetrueyouproject
