#springintobalance

I first encountered Kapinjalasana during the #springintobalance yoga challenge hosted by @victoria.arvizu @alissayoga and @robinmartinyoga and sponsored by @aloyoga ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ If you were following, you might remember how much I fell down, I shared all the variations along, swipe to reminisce.🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 At the end of the challenge, I was announced winner which was so humbling, I will forever be grateful to the hosts for challenging my yoga journey. Before this challenge, I wouldn’t dare try this asana because I knew how much I would fall and my nose always said not today babe😂🙅🏾‍♀️, but then I tried it, as expected, i fell face first [my poor nose🤦🏾‍♀️] but slowly by slowly I mastered the balance, first mentally 🧘🏾‍♀️ and eventually it physically showed that my mind was ready and comfort with the idea of my body being in such an awkward position🤸🏾‍♀️ 🙏🏾😊 SC: @nanseracissy YT: Ethereal outlook www.theetherealoutlook.com #tbgwithcissy #etherealoutlook (at Pearl of Africa Hotel)

💪Do you too want to do a #onearmedhandstand ?💪Jumping in on #springintobalance with my very modified #yogaforbeginners #yogadrill 🌺First we need to figure out what muscles we need to activate to #balance and maintain alignment in #inversions 🌺Then we need to #stretchandstrengthen the #movementpatterns 👍But mostly we need to take the #fears out of the equation. 🔥#sportyoga #yogaforeverybody #yogaforbeginners #simplestrength #inversionsmakeyouhot 🕺🏾Sped version of @nickgrayphotos slow motion (at Sugarbush Resort)
