When I was younger, richer and not a parent, I used to have a room for yoga. A whole room. For yoga. That's all that went on in there. Every day, morning or night (sometimes both) whenever I fancied it. I didnt have to fit around anyone but myself. And I needed silence. And incense. And a candle. HAHAHA! . Then I went to India and trained as a teacher and shared a room in the Ashram with five other women. I became less precious about where I practiced. Then I went to live on an Ashtanga retreat in the mountains of Portugal, sleeping in a tent in the forest. I became even less fussy . Now I live in a teeny tiny flat in London with a nosy, noisy 4 year old I'm lucky if I can find a gap amongst the lego and dolls. And I can just hear myself breath over the sound of her singing, so if I want that silence I get up at 5am to practice before she wakes. I can assure you that doesn’t happen on a daily basis. . I make my home yoga practice fit. Anywhere and any way I can. And it works for me. . There are still a few spaces on my Coming Home workshop @triyogauk Camden tomorrow at 2-5pm. Come along and pick up tips for neatly fitting your home practice around your lifestyle and circumstances. Make your home practice work for you . #ComingHome #triyoga #yogaworkshop #homepractice #yogaeverywhere #yogaanywhere #myyoga #youryoga #itsallyoga

I love finding comfy, stretchy jeans that I can practice in. Throw them on, go get a coffee, take the dog to the park, run around, asana, sit and write, have a snack, asana, yoga swing, take the dog out, write. Hahaha. You get the picture. You don’t need anything special for yoga. 👖 ____________________________________________ Interested in taking your studies and practice to a deeper place? Ready to fine tune your teaching chops?

I can't help it. . When a camera is pointed my way I have to do something like this. . Every time someone, including myself tries to get some "normal" shots of me I quickly make a face. . I have tons like this. . Maybe one day I'll make a big book of my silly faces. #quickness  #camera #silly #youbeyou #itsallyoga (at Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/jenniferjgrovelifestyle/p/BuevwvMhp3M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o489w9jbonzs

I often see students trying to “fix” a pose once they’ve come into it. Whatever misalignment is happening at the foot level will only radiate upwards on the skeletal stack. That's why we often cue students to root into the heel and the big toe mound. These are powerful tips. There are simple steps we can take to build the strength of our feet and a powerful foundation. 👣Spend time in our bare feet every day as much as possible👣 👣Fan out your toes and flex the arches, point and flex several times. Notice all the other muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints getting into the action like the Achilles👣 👣In standing yoga poses, root into the center point of the heel bone, and radiate the energy from that point outward through the inner arch to the big toe, across to the little toe and back to the heel via the outer edge of the foot. You'll begin to feel the incredible power that the earth returns to you in your solid, stable, rooted pose👣 👣Spend time in poses that fully flex the ankle joint and engage the arches of the feet like child's pose and camel👣 👣Cultivate a strong Tadasana, and practice it often👣 👣Get a foot massage…or give one to yourself👣 Consciously integrate your feet back into your life and your yoga. Build your pose, like your practice, on a solid foundation. You will experience true expansion. #wellness #yoga #thursdaythoughts #itsallyoga #empowerment #confidence (at South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnYriBRjpyE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wqfv4t7yy6r8
