How you do a simple thing says a lot about how you will a complicated thing. Same with the practice. The technique that you set up in Simple Bridge will carry forward to your technique in other backbends. Start with good technique and let it build rather than pattern bad technique and have to fix it later. Try this— 1. Relax the glutes 2. Use the strength of the legs and the pelvic floor to gently lift the hips 3. Engage the upper back muscles as the sternum reaches towards the chin 4. Internally rotate the shoulders and root them into the ground. 5. Keep the navel and lower abdomen drawn in while breathing gently with the diaphragm 6. Gaze towards the nose Tip: if your back feels good and your legs are burning after then you are on the path of good technique.

Flexibility is as much a state of mind as it is a function of the body. If the mind is stiff it almost doesn’t matter what shapes the body can make. But if the mind is open, then that can lead the path to happiness even if the body isn’t so limber.

I am more than this body. I am more than just a girl upside down. My value is not defined by whether I can make a shape or not. And yet, I love to make shapes upside down. And I love the physical practice of yoga. It’s just that it’s not all of who I am or what my practice is. My mind and soul are deeper than the pose. I know yours are too. Asana is not a pass or fail spirituality test. Asana is a tool that can be used for growth and evolution. But, like any tool, it can also be used poorly. Practice yoga and dig into the spiritual work deeply. This is the path. _ #handstandsforeveryone challenge starts July 1st. Are you ready?

Did you know that how you set up your shoulders in Downward Dog will determine whether or not you have good shoulder alignment in handstand? It’s always all about the basics. _ Turning the shoulders inward sets your body up for a big misalignment. Hyperextending the shoulders set up your body instability. Finding that sweet spot in between is where it’s at. Just enough external rotation to keep everything lined up. Just enough stabilization to get a firm base. _ This is Day 1 #handstandsforeveryone and we begin with Downward Facing Dog. Are you joining us for the challenge?

Hiya 😊 I have a question for you. How long have you been a part my community here on IG? Are you someone who is newer or do you remember the old flower days? Comment below. _ I just want to take a moment and thank each and everyone of you who is here for the love and support and for sticking with the practice and the spiritual journey. I appreciate each person that takes the time to read what I write, here in my posts and also in my books. I am also so grateful each and every time a student decides to practice with me. That’s an honor I will treasure forever. So this is me saying thank you to you for all you give to me. _ This is Day 6 #handstandsforeveryone and it’s Three-Legged Dog. This pose has many different uses, including strength, flexibility and proprioception. If you’re going to get up into handstand or any inversion with one leg at a time, this pose is your friend. _ If you want to join us for the challenge, sign up on @omstarsofficial and get a new video each day to guide your practice. _ ✨Follow our hosts: @kinoyoga @upsidedownmama @mariebellepr @omstarsofficial ✨Follow our sponsors: @vahdamindia @shophalfmoon @freskincare @smithmade_essentials @crystalmoongoods @wiworldandi _ Photo @ifilmyoga #threeleggeddog #yoga #yogi #kinoyoga #yogachallenge #miamiyoga #onlyindade #downwarddog #handstand #handstandchallenge 💕 (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRCMi1OHxRD/?utm_medium=tumblr
