Time has flown by, and I love every single one of your posts 😍 It's time for day 7 of #MasterYourMonsters and today we have #headstand! Once again, if you're new to the pose, you can try with a wall, the key here are the shoulders and neck. The shoulders should be rolled back, shoulder blades magnetized, and ideally the crown of your head on the mat. I couldn't make it, with the crown of my head on the mat, too much weight and pain. Then I realized everyone is different, and now I put my head down between my forehead and crown. It's a thing you need to see with a teacher you trust. 👉🏻 Let me know in the comments if you have any doubt or something isn't clicking. We don't want you to get hurt, so play safely, as always! 🕸️ Your spooky hosts: @norayogini  @yogialxx @chandrayoga.cardiff @yogibrarian 🎃 The creepy sponsors: @vayumudra @sacredgoddessnyc @urbanizedbeauty @songsofeden @essentially_joilful 🦂 List of monster-poses: 1.

Welcome to #MasterYourMonsters 🌒🌕🌘 For this challenge I'm impersonating the dark side of the Moon! We have today a #halfmoonpose or anything that reminds you of a half moon. If you're going for a half moon, it can be quite a hard one, but fear not! You can grab a block for your standing arm, flex your standing knee but... My best advice is to practice it against a wall! This way you'll feel what it's like to be in the pose, without the pressure and the balance difficulty. You can also place the non-standing foot on the wall as well, and a block in front of you. Give it a try! . See also my co-hosts to have other fantastic options! 🕸️ Your spooky hosts: @norayogini  @yogialxx @chandrayoga.cardiff @yogibrarian 🎃 The creepy sponsors: @vayumudra @sacredgoddessnyc @urbanizedbeauty @songsofeden @essentially_joilful 🦂 List of monster-poses: 1.

This is the last day of #MasterYourMonsters! 🧙‍♀️ Today's pose is #pinchamayurasana but it's a red flag, me neither can do it! So here's one variation. You are in plank, and just like you wanted to do a #chaturanga, bring all your weight forward, and place a hipbone onto your elbow. Lift one leg if desired. 💪🏻 This pose in a preparatory one for pincha and is exceptional with your shoulders. This way they'll stay away from the ears! 🕸️ Your spooky hosts: @norayogini  @yogialxx @chandrayoga.cardiff @yogibrarian 🎃 The creepy sponsors: @vayumudra (you can use my discount code norayogini15) @sacredgoddessnyc @urbanizedbeauty @songsofeden @essentially_joilful 🦂 List of monster-poses: 1.

Day 5 of #MasterYourMonsters is #spiderpose! And, oh my, how my boyfriend must love me to accompany me in all my #yogaadventures! 🤣 This pose is a tricky one, because if you feel like you're falling in #goddesspose, this pose wants you to elongate the spine towards the front, and stay there while you practice some kind of weird mudra with your hands. The trick is, sit with your bottom, a little farther back than your center. Don't worry, you'll be able to get it right in the center, but for the time being, just get the hang of it! 🕸️ Your spooky hosts: @norayogini  @yogialxx @chandrayoga.cardiff @yogibrarian 🎃 The creepy sponsors: @vayumudra @sacredgoddessnyc @urbanizedbeauty @songsofeden @essentially_joilful 🦂 List of monster-poses: 1.

Day 3 of #MasterYourMonsters and I love our gallery already! 😍 Today we have a #balancepose that is obviously tricky because of... Well, balance! It was one of my monsters too! You'll need (depending on your level) a chair, and as always, a wall. It's kinda become an habit! Try standing in front of a chair, your arms up and weight on one leg. As if your non standing leg and the arms are tied to a broom stick, move the arms down and the leg up till you reach the chair. Try not to touch it. Eventually you can move towards a wall and try doing it without the chair, or with your arms sticking to your sides. Give it a try, and show me how to get creative! 🕸️ Your spooky hosts: @norayogini  @yogialxx @chandrayoga.cardiff @yogibrarian 🎃 The creepy sponsors: @vayumudra @sacredgoddessnyc @urbanizedbeauty @songsofeden @essentially_joilful 🦂 List of monster-poses: 1.

This place feels like magic! . Day 2 of #MasterYourMonsters is bow or wheel. Here I'm performing a particularly hard version of wheel, and it took me years to come at it, this was one of my monsters! But you can manage #chakrasana, you just need the right tools: a couple of blocks, a big pillow and... A wall! Sit down, legs bent in front of you, hips with apart. Place the block(s) behind you: 1 in the middle of your spine, if you're using 2, one at the base the other under your shoulders. If you want to, you can add the pillow on top of the blocks, and work your way up from there. I like to think that my heart reaches the sky. If you're afraid of slipping, sit face away from a wall, at a distance that allows you to lie down, with the top of your head touching the wall. The idea is just to prevent your hands from slipping, and try to push up from there. Don't go all the way, you just need to get the sensations of where to place your hands. Do lots of planks and navasana, to get strong arms and core! Let me see your versions! 🎃 🕸️ Your spooky hosts: @norayogini  @yogialxx @chandrayoga.cardiff @yogibrarian 🎃 The creepy sponsors: @vayumudra @sacredgoddessnyc @urbanizedbeauty @songsofeden @essentially_joilful 🦂 List of monster-poses: 1.
