Be kinder to yourself so that you can be kinder towards others. Be gentle with yourself so that you can be more gentle with others. Make friends with yourself so that you can be a good friend to someone else. Forgive yourself so that you can one day forgive the whole world. Every day, every breath here in India is so precious. Only two weeks left and I am going practice with all my heart and soul. Keep practicing 🙏 Practice with me online @omstarsofficial Photo @ifilmyoga #yoga #yogi #mysoreyoga #yogamysore #indiayoga #yogaindia #kinoyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #ekapadasirsasana #legbehindthehead #omstars 💕 (at Mysore, Karnataka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmT1Crrv-wR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The real commitment in yoga is to ourselves. We have to learn to believe in ourselves and our own sense of worthiness. So long as we judge ourselves by outside standards we'll always fail. But as soon as we reframe and refocus our sense of self-worth in the eyes of spirit we'll see that our true worth is inherent and inviolable and it lives in the spirit. The material world is ever changing and impermanent and our bodies live in the material world. But the truth of the spirit is eternal, changeless and permanent. As we commit to taking the practice just into our lives with as little as five minutes a day, we will feel the essential nature of our spirit infusing every moment of our lives, the light will start to shine through in all places the places where we feel the most broken. Happy International Day of Yoga! I will be forever grateful that I have found this beautiful practice! 🙏💙 . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #sthirabhaga #skandasana #legbehindthehead #internationaldayofyoga #yogamanila #yogaph #yogaphilippines #grammerph #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #pinoygram #feeltheyogahigh #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEBLAOJKxe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

❤❤La palabra "amor" puede tener dos significados absolutamente diferentes; no sólo diferentes, sino diametralmente opuestos. Un significado, es el amor como relación de pareja; el otro es el amor como un estado del ser. En el momento en que el amor se vuelve una relación de pareja, se convierte en esclavitud, porque hay expectativas, hay exigencias y hay frustraciones, y un esfuerzo de ambos lados para dominar. Se convierte en una lucha por el poder.... .... el amor como un estado del ser es una palabra totalmente diferente. Significa que tú simplemente amas; no estás estableciendo una relación de pareja. Tu amor es como la fragancia de una flor. No crea una relación; no te pide que seas de una forma determinada, que te comportes de cierta manera, que actúes de cierta forma. No exige nada. Simplemente comparte. Y en este compartir, tampoco existe el deseo de recibir una recompensa. El mismo compartir es la recompensa. Cuando el amor se convierte para ti en una fragancia, tiene una tremenda belleza y posee algo que está muy por encima de la mal llamada humanidad. Tiene algo de divino... . #FelizNocheFamilia #VamosPorCosasGrandes #SiempreEnMiCorazon #SinLímites #feetbehindhead #legbehindthehead #frontbend #ногазаголовой #yogacolombia #yogamedellin #yogamotivacion #yogainspiracion #yogacoach #yogateacher #yogalife #yogalover #yogaeveryday #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeverywhere #yogadaily #beagoddes #hathayoga #ashtangayoga @namaste.tv @contort91 @aloyoga @revistafisico (en Planeta Marte)

Ashtanga often gets an undeserved reputation because people don’t want to be honest about the gap between the posture that is being presented and what their body can actually do on that given day. Unfortunately, two things usually happen, people either force themselves to look like the pose or they quit. Ashtanga is not asking us to do either one. The grounds of the Ashtanga Yoga System is that you learn each posture one by one especially in a Mysore style class. When we get to a posture that is not working with our body, our teacher assesses the reason for this. They will then make the decision to either stop you there or give you an approximation of the posture and let you move on. This is how we stay safe when we practice the Ashtanga Yoga Method and that is the importance of having a teacher as well. The problem is that instead of seeing this as an amazing way to stay safe and slowly build a practice, the ego sometimes sees it as a failure. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #siargaoisland #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #sthirabhaga #bhairavasana #islandlife #legbehindthehead #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #siargao #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #advanceda (at Sadhana Siargao) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCmeBHhCME/?utm_medium=tumblr

The moment we have time for ourselves and our practice is a message to ourselves and to the world that we will not be second place in our own lives. We know our importance in the world and we have chosen to be an active participant. We will not be lazy about how we use our energies. We will be powerful and masterful in the use of our energies. We are willing to live to our highest potential and do the greatest good for the world. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainsipiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #mensyoga #boysofyoga #sthirabhaga #advanceda #kasyapasana #legbehindthehead #yogamanila #yogastrong #yogaph #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #grammersph #pinoygram #instayoga #igyoga #madaboutyoga #fitspo #wellness (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ka29oHMqk/?igshid=sy43mcvitkb7

In Mysore, India most of us enjoy a freshly shucked coconut by @emranbeag or Guru after our practice in the Shala, it’s full of goodness and it's totally refreshing especially with the intense practice we do daily. The shucking of coconuts is a little beyond us if we're living in the city center, we have to go to far-flung areas or neighborhoods to get our freshly shucked coconuts but in the interests of sharing the coconut water experience I am grateful that @vitacocoph is readily available in major supermarkets, some yoga and wellness studios and even restaurants and cafes here in Metro Manila. Thank you for the supply! ✌😊💙 Catch my Ashtanga classes at @yogahiveph every Mondays at 9am and Thursdays at 6:15pm. 💙💙💙 . . . . . . #yoga #yogamen #yogadudes #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #yogainsipiration #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #ekapadasirsasana #legbehindthehead #vitacoco #vitacocoph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #yogaph #sponsoredpost #intermediateseries #coconutwater #fit #yogaeverywhere #madaboutyoga #feeltheyogahigh #instayoga #igyoga (at YogaHive PH)

Through yoga practice we cultivate the habits of sthira (steadiness) and sukham (ease). We breathe through asanas or postures to find balance. The breath is the strongest indicator of sthira and sukham. If we find ourselves laboring, struggling or holding the breath we have lost our ease. If we muscle through with tension or give up our effort we have lost our steadiness. The awareness of sthira and sukham cultivated by linking our breath to our mind and body is a practice to take off the mat and into our daily life. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #intermediateseries #yoganidrasana #yogicsleep #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #ashtangamanila #igersmanila #legbehindthehead #feeltheyogahigh #yogaeverywhere #igyoga #instayoga #fit #fitspo #madaboutyoga (at Yoga+Express Legazpi)
