#lolasana

One of the first lessons I learned about strength is that exactly when you want to give up is when you need to push through. Statistically speaking the last 10% is often the hardest. The night is darkest and longest just before dawn breaks. We quit when they’ve been at something for awhile but the results haven’t shown up. We get frustrated with what appears to be lack of progress and we lose hope. But what we can’t see is that just around the corner of doubt is a door of possibility. Exactly when you think all is lost, when you feel like it’s never going to happen, when the desperation and escapism begin to sprout, it’s then that you start to build steady strength. As they say, if you find yourself in hell, keep going. Or, if it isn’t all o, then it just isn’t over yet. Be strong. Keep practicing 🙏 Practice live with me online on @omstarsofficial In-person classes (Yin on April 6) and training courses (next one in July) in Miami @miamiyogagarage Next workshops in Charlotte, Indianapolis, Chicago and NYC. #liftup #lolasana #yoga #miami #ashtanaga #ashtangayoga #yogi #yogapractice #yogainspiration #kinoyoga #omstars #ashtangayoga #miamibeach #green #tropical 💕 (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbX6-V8OWFL/?utm_medium=tumblr

@seacoralyoga on Lolasana 💪 ・・・ *HOW TO LOLASANA* Lolasana is such a powerful #yogapose strengthens arms, core, wrists and back. This is a pose that you will use to “jump back” and “jump threw” your chaturanga to down dog. I would like to check in with some of our Resolution Handstanders to see who accepted my challenge to try lolasana everyday for a couple weeks to see the huge strength increases??? If your a beginner please use blocks, this will give you height until you build enough strength to lift legs off the ground, still just as effective in building core, arm, back and wrist strength. Tips for holding a strong #lolasana or aka #pendulumpose * BELLY UP AND IN * ROUND YOUR BACK * SPREAD SHOULDER BLADES APART * PUSH INTO THE GROUND * SQUEEZE INNER THIGHS TO ACTIVATE THE HIP FLEXORS AND PSOAS * POINT TOES HARD, THIS WILL HELP KEEP FEET OFF THE GROUND * TUCK HEELS AND FEET UP TOWARDS YOUR HIPS * ARMS STRAIGHT AND LEANING FORWARD * PULL KNEES TO CHEST .

This lift up has always felt ridiculously hard. If my arms were too short to jump through then my butt was certainly too big to get off the ground in Lolasana. But I did it. With lots of effort and tenacity, I found a way. _ Here’s a secret. Sometimes not even blocks can help. I learned how to lift up in #lolasana by using two chairs, big tall dining room chairs. There was nothing that could replicate the muscular strength to float the body in the air. After the chairs, I used blocks. After the blocks, then the mat. And finally, the sand 🤣 _ But really, what I am trying to say is keep practicing. You’ll find your way. With props, without props. Just don’t give up. _ Practice with me 🙏 _ Primary Series this Saturday 9 am @miamilifecenter _ Yoga Drills next Tuesday 1 pm @omstarsofficial _ 200 Hour One Month Course July @miamilifecenter _ 300 hour Two Month Course February-March 2022 @miamilifecenter _ Photo @ifilmyoga #yoga #lolasana #miami #miamibeach #miamiyoga #bestrong #kinoyoga #omstars #yogi #yogapractice 💕 (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPq8Gy3nsvL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lolasana always seems hard. I mean always. I practice and practice and I always feel like my arms needs to be longer or my butt smaller or something.

I used to think my arms were too short to lift up or that my thighs were too thick to make it off the ground. There are still days when I feel heavy but I know that with practice you can build the strength it takes to lift up, no matter what size, shape or age you are! _ Lolasana is hard. But it does get better with practice. _ I’ll be live on my YouTube channel in just a few minutes for a tutorial on this killer pose. And of course practice with me on @omstarsofficial for the #yogadrillschallenge today 💗 _ #yoga #lolasana #miamiyoga Photo @ifilmyoga 🌟 (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9SKAbVHddg/?igshid=m3ntenxbvyxp
