#press up

Guys, I’m so excited because this happened! 😁 I’ve felt a shift in my practice the last couple months. A few months back I decided that instead of chasing specific goals, I would just practice because it feels good to do so, in ways that I feel good about before, during and after. I’ve noticed that this has allowed me to be more conscious of even the smallest changes in my body and my practice, and that has made a huge impact in me both physically and emotionally. This past weekend after practice, I went on Instagram and saw someone pressing up from #bakasana to #handstand and I decided to give it a try. I knew I could do both poses separately, so I just wanted to see if I had developed the awareness of how to combine them. And let me tell you, there was a lot of dancing when I found out I could 😂 • Now I’m not saying that setting goals is a bad thing, because it’s always good to have something you can work towards. But in my case, it was the attachment to those goals that was having a negative effect on me and my practice. So I decided for something a little more open ended, and that seems to be working out. Excited to see what happens next ✌🏼 (at Roselle Park, New Jersey)
