julia has, literally, been working on this pose for years. she’s not the first, and won’t be the last to struggle with this one. flash forward... these days, here’s my joyful POV as she at last is able to keep her right leg in place while folding forward. most students would have given up by now, but her dedication and resolve have borne fruit and i am the happiest teacher ever when i see this. next project: the left leg. 😉🦵 . . . #mysorebrooklyn #ashtangayoga #brooklynyoga #mysoreashtanga #ashtangavinyasa #practiceandalliscoming #ashtangaisforeveryone #yogaeverydamnday #ekapadasirsasana #nadishodana #intermediateseries #nevergiveup #tapassvadhyayaishwarapranidana #yogamotivation #itsamarathonnotasprint https://www.instagram.com/mysore_bk/p/BvHdbf_lhtx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sn4o0wrm19ke

#tbt it’s hard to believe, but steve and i have been living in #bushwick almost 12 years now. so much has changed, but thankfully the artists are still very much of what keeps this part of brooklyn a true community. several years ago, i started a little personal art project, photographing yoga asanas with the local street art as a backdrop, a sort of love letter to my neighborhood. over the years, it’s become a bit of a time capsule, as much of the art is now gone and either replaced with (on the plus side) new work, or (on the down side) commercial real estate and advertising. on this frigid nyc day, i dream of the spring days ahead when it will be warm enough to create more memories on my home streets. . . . #mysorebrooklyn #ashtangayoga #brooklynyoga #mysoreashtanga #ashtangavinyasa #vatayanasana #intermediateseries #secondseries #practiceandalliscoming #ashtangaisforeveryone #yogaeverydamnday #streetart #thebushwickcollective (at Bushwick, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/mysore_bk/p/BuuT537lbJU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vvmp7ra2xfz7

this new moon ushered in a rough, weird week. the same rules still apply: deep breaths, open heart, surrender, keep going. as one of my wise spirit sisters just reminded me: the shit storms are real, but we are warriors. 💪 . 📷 @moraima_cp . . #ashtangayoga #brooklynyoga #mysoreashtanga #mysorebrooklyn #goodashtangi #goodyoganyc #virabhadrasanaa #warrior1 #practiceandalliscoming #yogaeverydamnday #shelterfromtheshitstorm https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlPt6whn94/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11eyz6csqsck0

#brahmamuhurta: "The Creator's Hour", i.e. the time just before sunrise, when it is most auspicious to practice yoga, meditation, or any sort of spiritual discipline, due to the stiller state of the mind. it’s never easy to do, and it’s especially grueling in the dead of winter. luckily, my best friend tagging along provides extra motivation. . . . #ashtangayoga #brooklynyoga #mysoreashtanga #mysorebrooklyn #practiceandalliscoming #yogaeverydamnday #carpediem #goodashtangi #goodyoganyc #krounchasana #nadisodhana #intermediateseries #yogadog #humpdaymotivation https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs-8_XyA2TR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f8bk7fhwop2r

this is my reality, my dharma. it’s hard work, but i cherish it. as this holiday weekend draws to a close, i’m thankful for my yoga community: both my students and everyone with whom i have ever shared a practice space... changing the world for the better, one deep breath at a time. . . . #jennyholzer #ashtangayoga #mysorebrooklyn #practiceandalliscoming https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnLB77l0R1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=151m04r5p3qu9
