Day 7 of #SneakyStrengthYoga From @jenni_rawlings . . . Arm balances are super challenging for me due to a few shoulder & wrist injuries. I put a wedge under my mat so my wrists dont go into full extension with weight bearing. I really liked the modified version lifting one leg at a time- sepecially when lifting up HIGH on the toes of the supporting foot. 💥 i added in a few Down Dog hops because my shoulders like that angle better but i still feel it in my legs & a jump switch in lunge just for fun 😁 Day 1: @lizette_pompa Day 2: @arianayoga Day 3: @trinaaltman Day 4: @francescacervero Day 5: @kathrynbruniyoung Day 6: @jenn_pilotti Day 7: @jenni_rawlings Day 8: @samanthaliftsyouup Day 9: @laurelbeversdorf Day 10: @yogadetour . . . #yoga #yogachallenge #igyoga #lauragyoga #modernyoga #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga #yoga #yogavideo #yogateacher #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogisofig #igyogis #yogini #yogi #yogatherapy #yogagirl #igyoga #yogisofinstagram #hummingbirdyoganj #therapeuticyoga (at Hummingbird Yoga NJ) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw748TAlF7T/?igshid=5omye59xuq3e

Yoga is not perfect- there are issues in yoga like everything else & one of the ways we perpetuate these issues... rigid teachings that are passed down without question. I have heard so many times that yoga is "ancient & it is a perfect practice" and therefore we should never change it, let it evolve or try to update it. I think that is ridiculous. 👉 people do not live the same lives today as we did 50 or 100 years ago. We know more about the body and how it works today and we are learning more every day. 💥Why not acknowledge these changes and allow the practice to reflect it, instead of staying stuck. 💥 I always come back to the phrase: when you know better you do better. As we know more about the body we can teach better ways to care for it. FUNCTION over DOGMA 👍 if you have a teacher or lineage that does not allow or encourage you to ask WHY...you need to go somewhere that does. RUN ...dont walk 😱 toward a space where critical thinking and problem solving is valued 😄 #yoga #yogaisnotperfect #evolutionofyoga #modernyoga #lineage #yogateacher #dogma #dogmaticyoga #yogateachertraining #yogacontinuingeducation #yogatherapist #criticalthinking #problemsolving #lauragoellneryoga #lauragyoga (at Linwood, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8RiUNJHwdF/?igshid=1j8puhdqjzd3j

YES! YES! YES! Reposted from @shutupandyoga (@get_regrann) - Read our article YOGA’S MISSING NUTRIENTS 🍏🥦🥕by Kerry McInnes @kerrymcinnesyoga and learn: ⠀ - Why yoga fails to integrate PULLING and why you need to befriend a pull-up bar 💪 - Why GRIP STRENGTH is imperative during functional movement (your handstand will progress as well!)🖐🤸‍♀️ - The POSTERIOR CHAIN imbalance and why we should stop cheating our way into back-body strengthening poses ⛔️ - Why strengthening your HAMSTRINGS is so difficult in traditional asanas and how you can quickly test if your hamstrings are scared of tension 😱 - 10 functional movement exercises to develop the missing movement nutrients 🏋️‍♀️ ⠀ There is a buzz in the yoga community that our beloved yoga practice may be missing a few key ‘movement nutrients’ to truly be considered “whole-body”. ⠀ A whole-body movement practice is one that strengthens all muscle groups equally, promotes heart health, improves bone density, and prepares our body for functional movement (i.e., the movement that comprises our everyday activities). ⠀ Humans have evolved to move in so many ways that it is difficult for a single activity to meet every requirement for a whole-body practice. This is why variety is key. That said, it is important to understand where your practice excels and where it fails so you can compensate for the missing nutrients.⠀ 📖Head to ShutUpAndYoga.com to read the full article [LINK IN BIO] Magical illustration by @katyauspenskaya 👩‍🎨 #yogateacher #yogastrength #modernyoga #yogaanatomy #functionalyoga #yogatherapy #functionalmovement #yogamedicine #functionalstrength #functionaltraining #savageunicornyoga🦄🙏🧘🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️🌌 (at Niceville, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7HqJ25pZqw/?igshid=cbe0y3bk0uxz

#Repost per credit from & the courtesy of @alexandriacrowyoga ・・・ My New Yoga Bro Marketing Strategy This 2015 photo wasn’t actually used for marketing, it was taken for a blog but never used. I stumbled on it while cleaning out photos and it got me to thinking. When will this shirtless yoga bro photo trend end? Does it bother any of you like it bothers me? I don’t love the idea of yoga pose photos much at all at this point regardless of gender. I also have a big problem with sexualized imagery being used to sell any and all products, not just yoga ones. Obviously I have taken tons of them in the past, never topless though, thank god. I just can’t do it anymore though, haven’t been able to for years because of how incongruent it felt and how much it preyed on people’s feelings of lack and need both overtly and subtly. That said, there is something particularly grating about the yoga bro shirtless photos. I can’t quite put my finger on it, can you? #yogaphysics #funnymemes #deconstructtoreconstruct #modernyoga #yogarevolution #yoga101 #yoga #yogateacher #yogagram #igyoga #yogabro #yogadudes #whytho https://www.instagram.com/p/B15ACgPDER8/?igshid=1y0z4ojgy6hum
