My relationship with this pose has changed and evolved over many years of practice. At first it seemed absolutely impossible. Just thinking about it seemed to play tricks on my mind. I couldn’t understand how it was biologically and anatomically feasible to survive. But then I tried under the guidance of my teacher and like magic the pathway started to open. Now it hasn’t been a steady progression. The pose disappeared for a little while and it took new technique to bring it back. As for today, my attitude is to practice with no expectation and see what happens as I listen to what my body wants to do. Which one do you prefer? 1 or 2? Keep practicing 🙏 Practice with me online @omstarsofficial this Wednesday at 1 pm ⚡️ Next workshops: Adjustment Clinic @miamilifecenter starts in February and I will be teaching in Laguna Beach, San Francisco, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Cincinnati. Tidewater teal set @lululemon #lululemon #thesweatlife #lululemonambassador Day 20 #feelgoodflowchallenge is Viparita Shalabhasana. Sorry I’m late with the challenge.

#Repost @kinoyoga ॐ🎬💕 ・・・ Ageism is a real thing in the world, and even more for women. I’ve been told by brands that I’m too old to represent them. I’ve been called out as just a random 40-year old woman, as though my age made me irrelevant. Well, let me tell you something—age is coming for us all. If the value of a women is only related to her youth, then I’m sorry to say that is the essence of misogyny. Women can participate in women-hating culture, consciously or unconsciously. Watch your thoughts about age and see if you find yourself viewing older men as wise and older women as irrelevant. In the spiritual path of yoga, time is the one thing that cannot be rushed. Some levels of realization takes years, and decades of experience to unfold. Youth is, after all, wasted on the young. When we start valuing wisdom, kindness and generosity more than hot, young, flexible bodies then we will have done our work to evolve humanity just a little. _ Last day of #yogadrillschallenge is Urdhva Dhanurasana.

No matter what happens, keep practicing. It doesn’t matter if you just stand on your mat and breathe, keep the continuity of practice going. Yoga is a gift that we honor each time we practice. If we are on the path of spiritual awakening that in and of itself is a kind of grace. While it requires great strength to change our habit patterns and update the framework of our thoughts, we can only do so much on our own. There comes a point when what we need is beyond our reach and we can only be carried where we need to go. This is why yoga is a mix of effort and surrender, hard work and faith. In times when we cannot, there is a force that carries us forward. In those moments, our job is to follow, to appreciate and to allow. Health update: My elbow and the accompanying systemic infection are both much better, but I’m dealing with a host of side effects from the antibiotics. I’ve lost my voice, my muscles and joints ache, my digestion is going bonkers, and all sorts of stuff. I’m resting today after sleeping for 12 hours last night. I welcome any prayers and good energy you feel like sending my way 🙏 I am still hoping to be better before the Seven Day Strength Challenge starts March 1st @omstarsofficial Next workshops: Malaysia, Vietnam, Taipei and Cincinnati. Next retreats with me: Norway and Italy. Tim and I are teaching for two weeks in Mallorca and then again for our summer One Month Intensive in July @miamilifecenter Come practice 🧘 Wearing @lululemon #lululemon #lululemonambassador #thesweatlife Photo @ifilmyoga #yoga #yogi #beachyoga #miamiyoga #kinoyoga #yogadandasana #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #omstars 💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIKu9vOmb3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
