#openyourselftospring

Day 9 of the #openyourselftospring #yogachallenge is #Natajarasana or #dancerpose in the #Ashtanga Third Series. Bringing your foot to the head is not the starter position in this #asana, but a deeper variation of the #backbend. Breathe mindfully through every moment and all will come. 💃🏻😊🕉🗽🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌿 . .

“I may climb perhaps to no great heights, but I will climb alone.” ~ Cyrano de Bergerac 😍🇫🇷 . . Last night I had dinner with a dear friend of mine who does Pilates. She asked, “Why did you get into yoga?” There were specific reasons, such as issues relating to previous injuries and wanting to improve my flexibility, but I had to speak from my heart. I replied, “I got into yoga because no one else in this world can do the #asana but you, or reach higher in your #yogapractice. Teachers can help you come into the #asanas, but it’s your body, your mat, your experience, your life.” ☺️ . . Day 6 of the #openyourselftospring #yogachallenge is any bow pose/wheel/camel, so I opted for Urdhva Dhanurasana or #wheelpose in straight legs. It was a challenge to bring my arms closer, but I was determined to reach higher than the comfort zone. ☺️🕉💪🏻🗽🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌿 Wearing: @evcr #leggings 😍 . .
