#posestogrow #ardhomukhavrksasana this I love! It’s my comfort zone where I feel strong and powerful; it’s my drunk party trick, it’s my daily practice & my fun zone. Yet I always find space for practice and improvement! It’s ever evolving journey. . Wearing: @omgiyoga .

#posestogrow today’s pose is #mayurasana - a pose that requires a whole lot of strength and engagement through your whole body! If this pose is new to you, try it with bent knees first and remember; this is not just core .. engage your legs more specifically hamstrings and glutes.. imagine pulling your thigh bones into your hip sockets. .. have fun! .

#posestogrow catching up on #navasana Most people have an issue with the core work.. but of you Think about; the core is the energy center of your body, its where everything connects! If your core is not working, you are really just flapping your arms and legs around. Therefore: learn 👏 to 👏 love 👏 this! . Wearing @omgiyoga .

#posestogrow tomorrow’s pose is my eternal nemesis: wheel!! 💀💀💀 I was a competitive horse rider as a child and I’m not naturally flexible.. at all!! The backbend I have today is much better than what it was 2 or 3 years .. by miles! It has evolved from consistently practicing and working on opening shoulders, hip flexors etc. it has been a life lesson in focusing on the journey more than the end goal, and a realization that you don’t need to be able to put your own ass on your head to be a “good” yogi.. at all!! .

#posestogrow @openheartscanunite gives us #upavisthakonasana a pose that still leaves a lot of growing for me 😣 but I do love it; it feels good even though my body is not always cooperating .. .

Day 4 #posestogrow @kimterpstra_yoga chose #parivrttaparsvakonasana or revolved sideangle pose ... uuuugh this one is a bitch for me too .. well chosen Kim.. well chosen ... you will notice my back heel is lifted - a necessity for me to protect my knee. Be kind to yourself here; let your hips swirl with you a little into the twist, lift your back heel if needed.. . Wearing @omgiyoga . #omgirl #twisted #beachyoga

#posestogrow @tryahlove gave us Pincha Mayurasana! I’ve chosen to keep it straight, as I think this is the most difficult variation.. and the one I dislike the most 😉. The straight version is a lot of core and a lot of shoulder flexibility and strength 😅😅 . Wearing @tame_the_bull . #pinchamayurasana #strongwomen #pincha #forearmbalance #forearmstand
